I mean... the brain is not a sex organ. I can only assume they get that from the idea that sexuality is determined somehow by the brain? It's really hard to argue with people who state blatant lies and want you to prove them false. All I can say is to ask them how we determine the sex of animals, or plants, or insects. None of those creatures have the language to declare their sex, but we can still confidently classify them as male or female.

No, they call it a sex organ because without the brain the reproductive system wouldn't work, so it's a sex organ itself.

I asked once if the brain is also a respiratory organ given that lungs wouldn't work without it either, and the answer was yes.

I tried to explain that this isn't how systems are classified, and that by that logic blood is also a sex organ because without it reproductive systems would not work, but I didn't receive an answer.

Yeah, that's just nonsense. I don't think you can argue with ideologues.

I thought it was because it’s the brain that triggers orgasm so that’s why it’s called a sex organ.

This would make more sense than the crap I have read on the matter, to be honest.

But no, whenever I had this conversation it was all about the fact that the brain controls the reproductive system, or that the brain is the most important thing in our bodies given that it contains our sexual identity (not for, you know, all the stuff it does, just because it's a lady or gent brain) and as such it was the most important sex organ we have screw genitals and gonads!
