Well technically there's 2 and a half genders; male, female, and hermaphrodites. Tho herms are extremely rare and make up less than 1% of the population

Gender is mostly socially constructed

wouldn't say they are a different sex. Just abnormal

That's what I said. there's only sperm and egg. Everything else is a mutation. There are two sexes and any mutation is still within either sperm or egg influence

Hermaphrodite isn't a different sex/gender. They still abide by presenting male or female.

It wouldn't be practical to say hermaphorodites as a different sex

A woman shaving her head and wearing lipstick and a flannel does not some how change her being a sperm or an egg, and x or a y, a male or a female. Gender expression is not science.

Well thats why i said technically 2 and a half sex's

You were saying the "dude" is saying gender has nothing to do with biology. Whoever this dude is, is right, gender is social, sex biological, simplest way to remember it

Meanwhile in other languages: :|

Question: If genetic mutations that create hermaphrodites or other sexual reproduction abnormalities creates 'new genders,' that are backed by science, what have these people to say on the genetic differences between ethnicities? Are different racial classes actually entirely different species because of differences in biology?

Again... gender is social, sex is biological

A lot of things you cant choose. Like age and race and gender except in English. I dont see how practical it is

Gender is a social contruct crafted by a French female scientist in the 50's as a theory, and daid theory would be tested in the 70's by an american scientist with 2 young boys, one of which he forced to be dressed and acted as female and the other raised as a male. this experiment would ultimately lead to both committing suicide later in life

That's one of the problems in this conversation. SOME people argue gender is biological

Some don't

We can't even have an actual conversation on an issue if the rules are not set to talk about the same thing

Hmm would they have committed suicide if they weren't forced? Or felt pressured to

p sure there was gender theory going on in 1930s Germany

Its pretty established that gender is social, many people use the word wrong which is why people think that way

I can get around the idea of transgender. is there a lot of theories of non binary?

Gender was a synonym for sex 10-15 years ago.

yea it's only been recently I've heard of non binary.

Yes, gender is a social construct. Problem is you see people saying trans women are biological women.

The use of the word only really came into use in the past 50 years and the notion of gender, sex and such have only really been studied more in less than that time

I wouldn't say they are biological women. Like they would dominate women sports.

There is a good amount of science of Male and female brains being different which I can get behind.

I would consider them as the female sex but in my opinion thats irrelevant, gender is far more shaping on lives and thats really what I care about

the 2 are different based on the chemical balance in them, disrupt this balance with any other chemical or force this sex exclusive chemical to not produce can lead to mental health issues, such as improper growth of the brain at best and tumors inside the brain at worst

If they went through surgery than perhaps. If not than nope

Im biologically a man but im not defined by my reproductive system, I've been shaped by how I was raised, the culture around me, the education I received

Do you identify as trans or non binary by any chance?

no

Defined? No. Influenced? Yes. Men and women think and develop differently based on the testosterone and estrogen in them.

It's also why when you start taking hormones as a transgender person, the doctors tell you that your behavior WILL Change. Your brain won't change any because it's already developed, but the biological chemicals in your body DO influence behavior.

I don't have much time so I'll end off with my stance. I dont care what gender you are as long as you dont deny your biological sex and make it your sole personality

Both differ, some men have a lot of testosterone some dont, same for women

And the biological chemicals in your body DO influence how your body grows in utero and beyond

Theres always variances. Not sure how it affects your masculinity or femininity

Your amount of testosterone doesnt really influence social constructs by any significant amount
