Of course it links to the stupid nature article about some extreme edgecase where one embryo merged with another embryo and ended up with a one in a billion intersex condition to say "sex is not as simple as we thought!". It's so assinine.

My retort to when these gender nonsense advocates say "there are intersex people therefore we can't say how many sexes there are", I respond "just because a genetic defect occasionally causes someone to be born without an arm doesn't mean we can't say how many arms humans have".

and intersex activists (mostly against "repairing" gentles, at least until puberty/18) do NOT like the (overwhelmingly non-dysphoric) "activists" skinwalking their way into yet another thing to take over, like PCOS and, uh, trans activism itself

because they're NOT cichlids or gila lizards or XX/XY chimeras or androgen-insensitive, they haven't "always been here," they're exactly a decade old and they all look like that naughty Ben Franklin reenactor from The Office

I just stress that intersex people are not trans.

Is the confressperson intersex? Nope. OK why are we talking about intersex.

Big difference between an inborn sexual abnormality and a mental condition that convinces you to take hormones and surgically alter your genitalia.

I usually use fingers. We know 5 fingers is the default. Someone being born with 6, or who loses one and goes down to 4 are still just as human as everyone else. It doesn't matter for anything. They don't need to use a different bathroom or have special rights.

I like the picture of the tennis player in there.

"Judges determined this tennis player is a woman".

I've heard them say justice is blind but I never knew that they literally meant the judges were blind.

Are trans women biologically male?

Yes. Full stop. And not a single one of those weird chromosomal disorders will change that, no matter how loudly the TRAs shriek and point at them as somehow validating their arguments. Nor will the TRAs' incessant attempts to rewrite the realities of actual science (as opposed to their perverse version of Lysenkoism), to conform to delusions of ideology. Trans women are men. Trans men are women. They always were, they always will be.

And the author of this article is either a man in disguise or one of those foolish handmaiden types who willfully assist in the betrayal of their own for the cause that matters more to them.

I don't like the term "biological male" just male is sufficient.

Trans women are male. Transition doesn't change your sex. Can trans women give birth? Nope. Do they have XY chromosomes? Yep. Seems male to me.

The answer is only complicated if you aren't allowed to say that it relies on completely retarded arguments.

It's very "if grandma had wheels she'd be a wagon" territory.

Are trans women biologically male?.

That shit for brains question is like asking if I can drink petrol fuel.

Nonbinaryandroid 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun 1 month ago

You can! It's high in energy.

Should you? I'm not aware of any studies that show drinking petrol fuel is bad for you bigot. In fact my 3 year old loves cars and makes vroom vroom noises. Why shouldn't he get petrol fuel for breakfast since he wants to be a fire truck when he grows up? Gotta start them early you know once they get older they'll wanna become YouTubers instead and it's too late to be convincing fire trucks.

Steinach, an Austrian scientist, conducted studies demonstrating that a guinea pig’s sex could be changed by removing its gonads and replacing them with the gonads of the opposite sex. Transgender advocates such as the German physician Magnus Hirschfeld realized that human sex functioned in a similar way to Steinach’s guinea pigs.

Ah yeah human guinea pigs. Naturally.

Gotta be careful when letting Austrian doctors have human Guinea pigs…

Yes. If you cut off your cock and balls you are still a genetic male.
