Not reading any articles tonight (1:40am here). I'll say what I said in a GCdebatesQT post... sex is not a social construct, but the vocabulary we use (to communicate) is.

If someone, who has never heard/read the words male and female, physically touched 10 naked human bodies, 5 males 5 females, and was asked to sorted them by physical likeness... that person would feel differences and sort them by sex. No medically mutilated humans would be there, btw.

sex is not a social construct, but the vocabulary we use (to communicate) is.

Yes, and even people who can't create or understand "social constructs" coz they are incapable of social interaction, language, observation, categorization and abstract thought - such as people in comas, persistent vegetative states or who were born with, or have suffered injuries, leading to intellectual disabilities so severe as to render them cut off from others - still have a sex, and are affected and shaped by their sex. Same goes for all of us when we are asleep.

Being unconscious - whether temporarily or permanently - doesn't prevent a girl or woman from being able to get or remain pregnant, doesn't stop menses from flowing, doesn't put a halt to menopause or the ovulation cycle, doesn't cause every cell in a girl or woman's body to be without sex chromosomes and all their myriad effects.

A few years ago, a long-term unconscious woman in a nursing home in Arizona gave birth coz her being in a "vegetative state" or coma didn't prevent a male nurse from raping and impregnating her. Since the invention of modern anesthesia, many girls and women whilst "put under" by medical practitioners have been sexually violated by the men who administered the knock-out drugs - or by other men who were given access to the girls'/women's bodies, as in all the medical students in US hospitals instructed to do vaginal exams on unconscious female patients without the patients' consent.

Similarly, as the common phenomenon of wet dreams show, being unconscious doesn't stop a boy or man from making sperm and ejaculating it, either. Males are still as male when asleep as they are when awake. Just like females are.

There have always been people who've lived cut off from human contact coz they're hermits, and today there are many people who've gone the past year without any face-to-face RL interactions with anyone else due to COVID, not even any Zoom calls or face time. Yet all such people still have a sex, and are affected by their sex.

Plants and many animals do not have the same capacity for language and cognition that humans do, and thus they presumably do not invent or get "social constructs." But they all still have a sex.

This to me is kind of the main point. They always want to get into edge cases cause when it comes to 99.999% of all humans, they have no argument.

And even edge cases are proving nothing, even in their interpretation.

Lets say they can prove that I am third sex - how does this will prove that male can become female? Where is third gamete?

Lets say they showing results of medical malpractice - wrongly assigned sex at birth, because doctor was not bothered enough for more tests, and so doctor performed IGM. And then later in life because of hormonal issues doctors were forced to do tests and observe that they made a mistake. So now what it has to do with males who want to be females? They aren't intersex, they had no ambigious genitals or chromosome issues, they today don't have hormonal and biological issues which will show they aren't male. Duch cases prove nothing to trans ideology.

And yet, they are using our condition as meat shield, making people to be misinformed or to hate us.
