Thanks for your reply, this is part of the reason why I wanted to get active, it’s crazy to me that people calling themselves radfems would be so vicious to a gnc woman. Sorry for anything bad you’ve experienced

Thank you, I really appreciate it (and I don't expect you to bear the burden of their mistakes simply because you use the same terms to describe yourself). It was just breathtaking because at the same time they were going on and on about speaking accurately about biology. The blind spot was big enough to drive a planet through.

I welcome your solidarity. If there are more like you, bring it on. :-)

I find this whole "brain sex" discussion wholly redundant - even if female and male brains are slightly different, do we even know how that influences behaviour? IF that influences behaviour? We can't figure out treating widespread mental illnesses and we're here talking about the brain sex gender woo woo feelings? We don't know nearly enough about the brain to come to conclusions on why brain sex differences would even be important, so what is even the point in discussing this? Humans really overestimate their knowledge lol

Well, FWIW I was referring to the fun kind of sex. That was a terrible, no good, very bad thing to say something positive and science-backed about that didn't fit the narrative. Some radfems apparently don't really want to know how their bodies work—angrily don't want to know.

Well you mentioned neurobiology so I did think that that is what the conversation was about. Sorry if I was wrong?

Neurobiology includes the entire nervous system. ;-) No worries!

I was aware of that - what I wasn't aware of, though, is that there are sex differences in neurobiology that aren't in the brain? I though that was the only area that had slight differences. Good to know, though.

I'm not talking about brain things in the sense that you are. There's not really a way to steer what I said into that realm without the thread becoming nonsensical. :-) I am not talking about sex differences between male and female at all. You'll just have to take it on faith I suppose. I'm being polite by not getting more specific. Some people (I don't mean you) blow a gasket when certain aspects of sexuality are discussed, no matter how matter-of-fact and science-based one's corrections of their nonsense are.

Oh ok, it's my fault that I assumed that was what you're talking about. I won't try to drill you about it, sorry for the misunderstanding

No worries. :-)
