Sex: "either of the two main categories (male and female) into which humans and most other living things are divided on the basis of their reproductive functions."
Gender: "either of the two sexes (male and female), especially when considered with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones. The term is also used more broadly to denote a range of identities that do not correspond to established ideas of male and female."
There is no "redefining" the words when they're straight from the definitions.
What sourc urban dictionary?
Either way, the only useful definition is the one based on biology
It also isn't as simple as binary, there are intersex people out there where their exact biological sex is ambiguous. Regarding gender, there are multiple possible gender identities. Altho masculine and feminine is the dominant binary, and is applied to the sexes.
Google the definitions. I admire your ability to pick and choose which facts are correct and which facts aren't, based on your beliefs.
Sex is biological. Gender is social. Hence, trans*gender*. You can redefine English words or decide they don't exist if you want.
Transgender is not a gender
I don't think they meant that, just that the term refers to something malleable.
But also, there is Transsexual
Not a gender.
That's a sexual deviants preference
It being someone who changed their gender identity along with medical assistance to change some characteristics, a subset of transgender
Not a gender.
Gender is either Male or female.
This is not complicated
Nobody is arguing that transgender is a gender
Okay. That makes sense then.
Being transgender means that your identified gender is not the same as your assigned gender
You cant just identify as something you are not
That would mean you have a disorder
Do you have real evidence for this or are these just your feelings?
Plenty of studies
Can I identify as a native American if I'm not?
Can I identify as a war veteran if I'm not?
The problem here is entirely a semantic one
The problem is people encouraging destructive behavior
I, like people who support the idea of being transgender, define gender in a more commonly accepted definition of being more social and mental
Trying to identify as a different gender is destructive
You choose to use the less commonly used version based on biology
The definition was changed
Citizen do you know what gender dysphoria is?
You are using a made up urban type dictionary definition
Someone who thinks they are another gender
"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
Sure it does.
I dont believe your sick interpretation
