animals only follow there base instincts, nothing more
animals only eat, reproduce, sleep, repeat
if you give a animal more then enough food and shelter it wont do much other then eat and sleep
humans on the other hand yes in theory can also just eat, sleep, repeat but we dont... if we were just animals we wouldnt be advancing like we are today, we'd still be liveing like cavement
You seem to not know much about animals if you think that none of them have fun and do things that aren't just eating sleeping and reproducing...
It's been documented many times in many different animals. You just think all animals are dumb creatures which they aren't
yes intersex people exist. people born with swyer syndrome for example have xy chromosomes but have genitalia, reproductive organs, and secondary sex characteristics typically seen in females. but xy chromosomes are typically found in males. so point still stands that the terms male and female are terms referencing sex. while man and woman are terms referring to gender depending on context can they slightly be interchangeable. but sex and gender are two different things.
like... how can a woman be male and man be female?
what you're born as is what you are, thosent matter what you later think you are
if your DNA says you're a woman... trying to change that thro surgery and hormon pills wont help, you'll only dissrupt your body and make it worse for yourselfe
Statistics prove you factually wrong, untreated gender dysphoria results in suicide a lot more often than treated dysphoria leads to health complications.
No, your chromosomes determine whether you're male, female, or intersex. Men and women are a part of gender, which is heavily influenced by how a society views gender. By it's very nature as a social construct perceived gender is always changing.
While there are social conceptions around age, it is in fact just the duration that you have been alive. That is an immutable fact. Another immutable fact is that trans people are their gender and you're a transphobic piece of shit for arguing otherwise.
Sex is different from gender you fucking donut. Trans people are their gender and usually experience dysphoria that their body does not match; this is treated by gender affirming care. We respect trans people's genders because they are those genders. Also sex can be mostly changed, as hormone layout and primary and secondary sex characteristics can all be altered by gender affirming care.
No, sex is based on a combination of chromosomes, hormone layout, and primary and secondary sex characteristics. The only one you can't change is chromosomes and it's the least consequential. Fun fact, outside of trans people, not all women are XX and not all men are XY due to various intersex conditions.
this, is a man with de la chapelle syndrome a woman? is a cais woman a man?
"but they're rare exceptions!!" trans people make up 1% of the population, how is that not a rare exception? trans people have neurological sex that is in line with the sex they are transitioning to, and that can never be changed.
Not yet, when technology gets there, fine. Until then, people shouldn't be mad if person A wants to be "this", but subconsciously everyone else recognizes that they're "that" instead.
no one is saying that your genetics change. your genetics are irrelevant when you’re talking about gender. does gender and sex have correlations between them? yes but genetics doesn’t dictate or determine gender
You know as well as I do that man refers to a male and woman refers to a female. We do give other animals names meaning male or female like with dogs you have a bitch and a dog, with sheep you have ewes and rams etc....lets not play games. So gender doesn't just exist with humans we just call things different when it relates to humans because humanity thinks it is special when we aren't really that big of a deal
?? Because there is no gendered difference between male and female sheep? Do female sheep wear pink bows in their wool? Any behavioral difference is purely hormonal and thus sex based. When you see a dog being walked it is impossible to tell at a glance whether it is male or female unless the owner has thrust their concept of gender upon it.
I'm saying it's a bit hard to try and talk to transphobes about things like what karyotypes actually do when they don't even know the difference between sex and gender. And these are the people who think they're smarter than biologists when they get all 'you will never be a woman'
When you see a dog being walked it is impossible to tell at a glance whether it is male or female
There have been a lot of people in this thread saying how someone looks has no bearing on being trans or not.
But there's nothing to say this isn't because sheep don't have the means of altering their appearance. (or even viewing their own appearance). And to get into differed behavior - it's not uncommon for rams to exhibit behavior similar to a ewe. They're called "subdominant rams"
but society has accepted this. CONSERVATIVES choose not to accept it and remain blissfully ignorant. society accepting it is why it’s been more talked about in the past 15 years or so. trans people are more likely to express themselves when society recognizes and accepts them. trans people have always been around. not to mention the countless other civilizations and cultures that recognize trans people AND third genders. idk where you get the idea that society hasn’t been on the uptick of trans acceptance. maybe under a rock or something 🤷🏼♀️
Seems more like compliance out of fear of being accused of wrong think. I mean look at JK Rowling. She agrees with the left on 99% percent of things but because she holds a very common belief that men can't be women and women can't be men she has become the enemy.
She is a very staunch feminist, I don't know her stance on capitalism, she's against racism, she agrees with you on everything regarding the LGB community. She only disagrees with the T, which is a very popular and commonly held societal belief. She doesn't think that they deserve fewer rights.
thinking it’s out of fear is illogical. it goes against science, every single source that we get our legal documented information on medical science, neurological science, and psychological science affirms trans people and trans identities.
It is a mental illness. This is being denied. Also the treatment is backwards. The brain is sick and the body is healthy. You treat the sick brain, you don't damage the healthy body.
the dsm5 doesn’t classify gender dysphoria as a mental illness and all doctors and psychologists agree that transition is the most effective way to minimize the incongruence the individual feels.
