If what they're saying is true, then sex is just a reference to humanity. Which we already knew.

"Male and female, He made them" refers to people, not to hermaphroditic frogs.

Hermaphrodites are both male and female, hence the name hermaphrodite. Male and female are terms that refer to people and other animals, because people are animals. Humans, as animals, have too much in common with other species. It is not possible for humans to be the only specie with male and female when we are genetically alike.

The claim that "humans are the only specie with male and female" supports TRAs and their "male and female are man-made social constructs". You single humans out.

I don't believe in a "god", whoever on earth that "He" with the capital H is.

Even if that article were correct, most species, frogs included, have male and female. It just gets messy in rare cases.

Thank you for contributing nothing to the conversation.

I single humans out because they're the ones naming things, like Adam did. Sperm and eggs are names of things that humans have, like sex. If other cells act differently, then calling them by the same name in order to redefine "sex" is another communist redefinition.

Also, you being a heathen has nothing to do with the observable fact that a species can have unique traits.

Humans may be the ones "naming" these things. Doesn't mean these things themselves wouldn't exist without humans.

Species can have "unique" traits, but the majority of our traits are similar, which includes the basics such as sperm and egg, male and female, also known as sex.

Most species "reproduce" sexually, which means they have sex, male and female. No "redifinition" is happening here. You're the one redefining male and female to fit some "humans are the only specie with male and female" agenda.

You're acting like humans are special, when we are very similar to other animals. See for instance, the fish gill arches. In fish, the arches become part of the gill apparatus. And in humans, it's the same gill arches we inherited from fish that become the bones of our lower jaw, middle ear, and voice box.

When most of our body parts are similar to each other, of course other species would have something as basic as sex, male and female.

Where did we get our sex, male and female, from? Other animals, which had male and female before us. Human sex didn't appear out of nowhere. It was a trait inherited by other species in evolutionary history.

And every specie has cells that function similarly. You should study this more.

Put your bible down and get out of your bubble. You have your head too far up your own ego. You're not special. And no "daddy" is watching you when you're sleeping.

And if you follow Endosymbiosis Theory, we all started as sexless prokaryotic organisms that engulfed other prokaryotic organisms to utilize for intracellular tasks.

We share qualities with the creatures you've mentioned. We are, however, not these creatures and are capable of more complicated physiological processes and (at least as far as we know) higher cognitive abilities. Sex is sex. No matter what name we've given it, we're still two different complex components with completely different builds and no amount of pseudoscientific hogwash or LARPing is going to change that fact.

That said, attacking a user for referencing the source material that you brought to the table doesn't make sense, nor does it make sense for you to repost this article ceaselessly. I'm not sure what your goal is here. Do you not appreciate the replies that you get, so you just start the process over again in a different sub?

We are not those creatures. My point was we share the same genes with the unicellular organisms, as well as the multicellular organisms, that we evolved from. We are very similar. It's a given that other species would have the same basics such as sex, male and female.

Most multicellular organisms "reproduce" sexually, like humans do. We're not special in the sex department, that's all.

Do you not appreciate the replies that you get, so you just start the process over again in a different sub?

It's not that I don't appreciate them. I saved the responses I got from before: https://imgur.com/e4sJOmW

I just want more responses, more attention from those who don't agree with the "trans" hogwash? But people post a lot on a daily basis. My post ends up being buried underneath them. I thought by reposting this, I would get more responses.
