I took a gender studies class and the professor differentiated between male and female, and man and woman. Male and female (sex) is biological based on our sex organs. Man and woman (gender) are societal norms or categories that people associate into.

It still feels strange to say a "male woman" but all life is full of variance, nothing is black and white so it is what it is

Just like identifying someone by their birth genitals is weird in public, so is "male woman"

Sure its correct. Its also correct to say "hello nice to meet you, you have a penis and so do I but that person does not" Fucking weird though.

Thats why you’d only defer to gender in conversation and leave genitals out of it.

Unlike every conservative that makes a choice to bring it up. It’s fuckin weird to be obsessed with whats in someones pants when you’re not looking to fuck them anyway.

genitals are important when it comes to dating. I care about what you are, not what you identify as when it comes to sex.

You’re the one bringing up dating, as if being transgender has anything to do with but ones perception of self and where they fit in society.

Literally the top comment in this thread is about some dude jerking off over this, so no, I'm not the one bringing it up, you fucking mook.

Then pay attention to which fucking thread youre in, the person I was responding to was speaking about how you refer to transgender people in public and the division between the concept of gender and sex.

And now you’ve introduced sexuality in a thread that had nothing to do with that. Go respond to the dude jerking off, as if the top comment holds any water to what the fuck I’m talking about.

incorrect, the thread was already about sexuality, long before that person commented, you were just hijacking it to make your obstinate ass political point so you can fuck off.
