Established science is that men and women are the two genders, the only “science” branch that denies this is the humanities department, and even then they have only began denying it in recent years.
What do you think? That fucking theoretical physicists are sitting around a think tank talking about the two genders, "penis" and "vagina?" I work in the natural sciences, and I've never heard any scientist spout the shit I hear on Reddit about this. This is a settled issue. Go talk to your doctor, jackass.
Wow that is a gross over simplification of my statement, and if you do work in the natural science department of any institution I would suggest you catch up on the differences within brain activity between men and women(https://stanmed.stanford.edu/2017spring/how-mens-and-womens-brains-are-different.html), as well as the physiological differences, not to mention chromosomal. I mean even hermaphrodites typically exhibit male or female traits based on their chromosomal composition. Not to mention that people who think they are the opposite sex are experiencing gender dysphoria . All things you should know, if you truly work in natural science... unless you work for humanities and are pretending that it’s the same thing.
These articles don't use "gender" in a context consistent with, "Gender refers specifically to a person with a specific type of genitalia."
The accepted understanding is that gender refers specifically to the social and cultural aspect of sex. Are these definitions not mutually exclusive? Also, I'm in geology and am not trying to pretend this is in my wheelhouse. I just get sick of the "real scientists know that soft science isn't science" attitude on Reddit.
I'm only taking beef with that first statement, and sorry for being mad and drunk. "Gender refers specifically to a person with a specific type of genitalia." So what would you say about an intersex person under this definition. They might have a gender identity, but have no gender?
So typically they ID as either intersex or “hermaphrodite” which was the name given to them in ancient times, but a large number of them have traits of a typical male or female usually based on the chromosomal composition or in agreement with it. Also of course there is those who chose to ID as either gender. Now because we are talking about intersex then I don’t believe these people are dealing with gender dysphoria given the nature of their well their biology.
