That "limit" that you are presenting as being an "extreme" is not at all extreme. It is the base distinction between the male and female of ALL sexually reproductive species. It is the cornerstone for how those species survive throughout time. You're acting like it's a mere taxonomy, an arbitrarily applied line along a spectrum, that one can later decide to change and then Pluto isn't a planet anymore. It's not. Male and female are biologically, anatomically, reproductively different. Humans CANNOT change sex, and there are ONLY two sexes. This is scientific reality.
Enough to be targeted by conservative assholes, obviously.
Obviously. That's what the word means.
No. NO HUMANS IS OF BOTH SEXES
Even a person who falls into the very small range colloquially misnamed as "intersex" are not actually in-between. Ever single "intersex" person is still either male or female.
I will reiterate: Sex is NOT defined by karyotype. Karyotype is the "directions" for how to make a human, and those directions are usually followed pretty well. But sometimes there are errors.
FEmales are those whose reproductive anatomy is arranged around the production of ova and the gestation of offspring, even when some of that anatomy is misformed or absent, and even when ova are not actually produced.
"Two genders" is a result of eons of sex-based discrimination which grants social privileges and agency to males, and which places females as subservient second-class citizens.
Two sexes is the actual reality of sexually reproductive species on this planet. It's not an approximation - there is no third sex among any mammals, nor I believe (would have to double check) among vertebrates. Some algaes have more than two sexes, but they can only combined to reproduce in couplets - as long as the two gametes are not the same type of gamete, reproduction is possible. But among mammals there are ONLY two sexes, and hence, there are only two sexes.
Right. No person can get themself pregnant. The intersex discussion is a complete red herring.
It’s 2023 and people still don’t know this?
This is false. I would be very happy if people were allowed to dress however they wish, and if they want to feel pretty and delicate, they can wear a ballgown and strappy sandals. I don't care if men want to wear make-up - I'm gen-x, I grew up with men in make-up and women in combat boots. It worked just fine. Hell, Poison was a bunch of rather pretty men!
A "feature" which makes a representative of a species unable to pass along its genes to the next generation is a bug.
Um, sort of? But nobody actually does have the objective of experiencing life as the opposite sex. If we genuinely could do so, I would want a year of it to be mandatory!
Pick a body part, organ, or function and search for sex differences. There’s a lot. Five million years of sexually dimorphic evolution will do that. And the sex binary is much older than that. Feeling uncomfortable in one’s body doesn’t change that. It’s the gender cultist who are the flat earthers.
Primary phenotype expression is only dependent on hormones at one specific stage of fetal development. The "default setting" of human fetuses is female; it takes a wash of testosterone to prompt the development of scrotal sac and penis. Actually, it takes two things: the ability to produce testosterone, and the ability to receive and process testosterone. If either of those is absent, the phenotype will be female throughout gestation and early childhood. In some case, puberty can produce some male-typical developments in karyotypic males who have female phenotypes at birth. IIRC, 5ARD is one of those, where male children will frequently look like females at birth, especially if one is in a less developed country. The infant will lack a visible penis, and will appear to have a vulva, although they often do not have a vaginal opening. At puberty, testosterone prompts the elongation of the penis which failed to trigger in utero. Because the penis and teh clitoris originally begin as the same "lump of clay", the observed effect of this is that the presumably female child will develop an abnormally large "clit" or a very small penis. In most cases, the urethral opening is on the tip of the appendage mistaken for a clitoris, or on the underside of it. Children with 5ARD, however, do not have ovaries, they have testicular tissue. And they do not have a uterus or fallopian tubes. Their internal anatomy is arranged around the production of sperm... even though their blueprints went off-script during development.
And some people like to move about in the world pretending there's a spectrum between electrons and protons, and that those who recognize them as different particles are somehow dummies.
Nobody says they aren't humans. But the existence of down syndrome doesn't change the definition of human DNA as having 46 pairs.
Okay, the brain. The most important organ (after skin?) in the body. Please tell us the differences between men and women in the brain... specifically. Then you can move on to describing where in my brain that makes me specifically attracted to Asian women.
This is false. No humans produce BOTH. At the very most extreme edge of things, you might have a mosaic or chimera who has both testicular and ovarian tissue - but even if you overlook that this is a mixture of two individuals, they cannot simultaneously produce both sperm and ova. The level of testosterone required to produce sperm cells is toxic to ova. The level of estrogen required to maintain viable ova precludes the production of sperm.
