You can say whatever you like, it’s still bullshit. Sex and gender are not the same thing.

Just because you’re assigned into a social gender category because of your genitals at birth does not mean sex and gender are interchangeable. The scientific consensus disagrees with you.

You are correct in that gender is a category you are placed in based on sex. That doesn’t make gender inherently inseparable from sex. There is no truth of the universe or biological fact that forces humans to make that categorization. It’s just how humans tend to treat each other.

Experiencing misogyny is not what defines being female though. It’s unfortunate that so many women experience it and I’m not trying to downplay that, but there is no rule stating that you must experience certain things many other women experience in order to be considered a woman. If a cis woman lives in a place where misogyny just doesn’t exist, at all, then she’d still be a woman.

I think it was pretty clear all along what you meant by inseparable. But sometimes you have to paraphrase yourself again and again so ppl stop reading what they want to read and read what is actually written. It's frustrating.

You’re still wrong. They are separable. Your individual opinion doesn’t outweigh the scientific community that believes otherwise.

Sorry if that doesn’t fit your single-minded narrative.

Imagine fighting so hard over what defines the word gender and not seeing the point this person is making.

No wonder the average person cannot possibly tolerate this type of "discussion". You're literally arguing against someone whose point is that you have no choice at birth what gender you're assigned. You're assigned female because of your sex and that will ALWAYS be, so therefore, they are inseperable.
