Firstly, you should know: there is no bulletproof argument when your opponent’s main strategy is firing bullets into their own head. It doesn’t matter how rock-solid it is, they will find ways to either pretend it doesn’t exist, or twist it into a completely different shape so they can deny it.

Sex, in biology, is simply identifying dimorphic versions of a given species, where one version of the species produces spermatoza gametes and the other produces ova gametes.

TRA’s have various ways of trying to confuse the issue. They use people with DSD’s as human shields to say sex doesn’t exist, which is idiotic. That’s like saying that because some people are born missing part or all of their legs, that means humans aren’t bipedal. Disorders and genetic errors do not change the intended functionality of the organism.

They may also point to things like clownfish, who are in the less than 10% of species that do not have stable dimorphism. And the answer to that is simply: we’re not fish.

Some will claim sex is colonialism or something. And the response to that is have a stiff drink, in my opinion.

Ah yes... before the white man came along, all us darkies had no idea where babies came from. Our men just stuck their dicks in things Russian Roulette style, hoping for the best.

They say that:

  • there's no scientific term like "sex";

  • term "sex" is incorrect and doesn't lead to any good outcomes;

  • term "sex" insults trans persons;

and so on :))

  • Welp, that’s just reality denial. Where’d it come from if it doesn’t exist? Like I said, nothing you can do if someone is just gonna say the sky is purple.
  • The response to that is that sex isn’t an “outcome.” It’s just a fact. It’s there whether anyone says it or not. It doesn’t cause anything, it is a state of being.
  • Fuck trans people. They don’t have a right not to be offended.

TRA’s?

DSD’s?

I presume those are related to or products of the freaks?

TRA = trans rights activists

DSD = Disorder of Sex Development, or what TRA’s call “intersex.” I refuse to use that term, because most people with DSD’s consider it disrespectful. TRA’s pulled it out of some old German manual from 100 years ago and started using it as a prettier way of saying “hermaphrodite” in order to portray people with DSD’s as being a “third sex” to promote their political aims. In reality, that is not accurate at all, and using “intersex” promotes ignorance about their medical conditions. So, out of respect for people with DSD’s, I don’t use it.

What is a Disorder of Sex Development? A DSD is a mismatch between a child's chromosomes, or genetic material, and the appearance of the child's genitals. A child may present with a DSD in infancy, childhood or adolescence. Previously, DSDs were called "intersex" conditions.

Thanks. Yes, there was further information on some rare conditions, which are very different from what we're seeing from the TRAs.

Yes, exactly. TRA’s like to portray them like the freaks at the circus, some “other human” subtype. They dragged them kicking and screaming into this mess as nothing but cannon fodder.

In reality, most people with DSD’s have typical chromosome pairings, and they usually even have typical physical presentation at birth. The most common DSD’s have to do with genetic hormonal processing errors, and appear at puberty.

But even among those who may have atypical presentation, nearly all still have an obvious sex. In fact, DSD’s are usually diagnosed based on your sex. Nothing at all to do with this “sexless hermaphrodite circus people” shit the TRA’s are forcing on them.

Also: trans people stole “assigned at birth” from people with DSD’s. Specifically, this is what doctors called it when they genitally mutilated them as babies due to atypical genital appearance — they were basically given SRS, with all the complications that implies. As you might expect, this is extremely traumatizing for the people who’ve lived through it.

And trans activists have the narcissistic audacity to take that traumatizing phrase, and apply it to a nurse literally just observing the obvious, as if that is somehow a sin on par with cutting the clitoris off an infant. It’s appalling.

It goes beyond appalling, but we're in days in which the unspeakable is increasingly common.
