For me it is just natural instinct. It's like slamming the brakes on a car, you don't ponder which pedal to press or which foot to use. My brain just looks at a whole person and instinctively tells me in milliseconds. If I am asked to explain why I have perceived someone is male I will struggle because it is so many small things that make up a the whole.

I'm not entirely sure she is supporting the trans side.

She has also invoked the legendary clownfish which usually means that person is in way over their head.

You are right, they seem to have skipped 'sex' as per usual.

We are guided by the fact that all Black lives matter, regardless of actual or perceived sexual identity, gender identity, gender expression, economic status, ability, disability, religious beliefs or disbeliefs, immigration status, or location.

We make space for transgender brothers and sisters to participate and lead.

We are self-reflexive and do the work required to dismantle cisgender privilege and uplift Black trans folk, especially Black trans women who continue to be disproportionately impacted by trans-antagonistic violence.

I am still trying to puzzle out the science of 'sex is a spectrum' I agree religion in being used in the US as a stick to batter women with. I actually agree with you about being pressured not to mention your faith. I actually enjoy chatting about religion because I find it interesting and my 'faith' in atheism is solid enough to not be upset if someone criticises it.
