gender is not scientific

its mental and societal

thats the point of gender

its different from sex

**sex** is defined by biology, **gender** is not

That's... that's what gender is

That's the point of it

It's not biological

sexuality ≠ gender ≠ sex

Care to elaborate?

hiya

gender is social and mental, with a difference between gender identity and gender expression (and presentation)

sex is biological and based on a lot of factors, including genitalia, hormones, etc (also not a binary)

sexuality is what genders (or lack thereof) you are attracted to, and is mental

btw, according to dictionary.com the definition is:
```
either the male or female division of a species, especially as differentiated by social and cultural roles and behavior: the feminine gender. Compare sex(def 1).
a similar category of human beings that is outside the male/female binary classification and is based on the individual's personal awareness or identity.
```

@Shabam

do you have any other argument other than a semantic one?

lmaoo

well, language is defined by the users, and gender is most commonly defined nowadays in the way I quoted

and its easy to dismiss an argument if you get hung up on how people choose to define a word

here, I have a question

what do you think being transgender means?

there is no such thing as an authoritative source for language

it is defined by the users

btw, what being trans means is that you identify with a gender other than your assigned one

telling kids about trans people... is somehow not letting them "just be kids"???

"Men tend to have better spatial awareness, while women tend to have better comprehension skills"

you find gender affirmation in the weirdest places

woah its almost as if women have been unfairly and unjustly oppressed throughout history

i'm saying that i'm a trans girl with good comprehension and bad spatial awareness lol

i am female

who has been pretending to be male

no i told you im female

or wait

shit i dont remember which one am i

help i forgot my gender

i just remembered i have a dick

wait no i don't

Men can give birth

Also being stronger and proving the constructed idea of masculinity are very different things

Nobody is arguing that transgender is a gender

Being transgender means that your identified gender is not the same as your assigned gender

Do you have real evidence for this or are these just your feelings?

The problem here is entirely a semantic one

I, like people who support the idea of being transgender, define gender in a more commonly accepted definition of being more social and mental

You choose to use the less commonly used version based on biology

Citizen do you know what gender dysphoria is?

"The modern academic sense of the word, in the context of social roles of men and women, dates at least back to 1945"

You seem to think definitions cannot change

Is there a central authority that declares whether a definition is accurate?

Tell me citizen, do you know what gender dysphoria is?

It is a medical condition

It is not a choice

And it is entirely treatable

The caveat? The only working treatment is transitioning

Trying to repress dysphoria or live as your assigned gender is definitely self destructive

Transitioning is the opposite

So 7 years ago medical professionals said that it **wasn't** a mental illness?

I agree with it

For example, many conservatives are vaccinated

love me some white genocide that isn't actual genocide
