MemberI am not an the best at biology but the determining factors of what gender people are is incredibly complex. much more so than xx, or xy. non-binary sex has been observed in mammals many times and many studies have taken place that show the non-binary nature of human sex.

Member"Although those "third" individuals were more commonly referred to as hermaphrodites."
True hermaphrodites in humans requires a male + female chimera (i.e. fusion of male and female zygotes in utero). Those chimeras end up with an ovary and a testi in some cases and are technically considered both sexes. And no, they don't have a fully function male & female reproductive tract for those that like that style of art. The reason there isn't a 'third sex' e.g. hermaphrodites or intersex is because those 'third sexes' aren't self propagating. In most cases they're sterile or have greatly reduced fertility either due to dysfunctional genitalia or dysfunctional gametogenesis. Further, if they're successful at reproduction, assuming they do not harbor a germline mutation(s) that caused the issue in the first place, they will have a 'normal' sexed child. This means that nature selects out this 'third sex' either by inability to reproduce or if possible selecting for 'normal' sexed offspring. That means that there isn't a 'third sex' because there is not a programmed and consistent sex system in which we have male, female, hermaphrodite in HUMANS (and to my knowledge all other mammals). In other species, yes there can be males, females, and hermaphrodites. Or JUST hermaphrodites. But we're talking humans here.

furrrstar343
Membercomplete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) is one of many outcomes of botched sexual development. It usually occurs because of mutations of the gene which makes sex determining-region - Y (SRY) on the Y chromosome but other similar outcomes can occur if other genes are mutated that affect the way the body produces or senses signals like androgens during development with varying impacts.
And no, "causes development of primary and secondary sexual traits so a biological male can be born with and have all of the workings of a female."
The early fetus has two sets of precursor reproductive tracts, ultimately the Müllerian duct (female) will develop into the upper 2/3s of the vagina and the uterus, while ultimately in males the Wolffian ducts will develop into the epididymis, vas deferens, and seminal vesicles. In SRY mutations individuals, the Wolffian duct do not get the proper stimulation to remain and wither away (like in females). HOWEVER, the Müllerian duct also doesn't get the proper signals to stick around and also withers away. This leaves these individuals with undescended testis (not ovaries) and the lower 1/3s of what appears to be a vagina. They lack: ovaries, uterus, and a full length vagina.
"so a biological male can be born with and have all of the workings of a female." <-
"so yeah just lots of wrong "information" here. And that's strictly from a scientific perspective" <- Not going to argue that one.

Memberseriously tho, maybe people should actually read about human biology, chromosomes, intersex people and human sexes instead of acting like their vague knowledge about highschool's ultra simplified human biology is the absolute truth. (because it is in fact impossible to neatly put people into female and male boxes. no matter what method you try to use for sorting them, there will always be lots of people who are left outside of the box)
and also it would be nice if people at least dabbled into gender related psychology a little before writing this stuff. brains are still physical part of human body and their functionality still absolutely should be taken in consideration (fun fact! trans people's brain structure tend to resemble a lot more typical brain structure of the gender they identify as)
furrrstar343
MemberSex and Gender are two separate things and need to stop being conflated.
Gender: Not touching this one because there are tons of different definitions floating around currently and it depends on the context / 'field' you're discussing. In many people's opinion, it's how one identifies themselves. For others, it can be how a 'society' defines you. If people want to talk about 'identity' then it's a different discussion.
Sex: In relation to sexual reproduction it refers to the 'body plans' that have been selected for by nature in order to produce viable (and fertile) offspring.
In mammals there are only two viable sexes - males and females. Anything that deviates too far from these 'body plans' is either sterile or has greatly reduced fertility. In terms of reduced fertility, it can be assumed that eventually whatever deviation that produces reduced fertility will not be successfully propagated through time.
If anyone has a particular question or claim they'd like to make regarding sex feel free to ask (or make a claim).
I make minimal claims about 'gender' because it's outside my field of expertise which is biology.
And this isn't to say that a hermaphrodite or an intersex person is any less a person. They shouldn't be treated poorly the same way you wouldn't treat someone with any other birth defect differently. But that's what their condition is, a defect in what is 'normal' biology of a male or female, not some new and 'special' sex.
Mairo
JanitorThis still confuses me, because both translate to the exact same word into finnish, unless with sex you mean having sex.
So even if they are seperate things, we don't have words for other of the things.

MemberI tried to resist commenting here but it seems that nobody has mentioned this yet. Gender is commonly said to be a cultural construct while sex is biological fact. Meaning that the number of genders and the definition of gender is set by society and varies worldwide. It may be interesting to know that in other cultures, there can be more than two genders, such as the Waria of Indonesia or the Hijra of India. In many cases, a culture may view a "third gender" as just as normal as male or female and some even legally recognize more than two genders. There are also many ancient examples of this, showing that it is not a new idea. We may have been raised in cultures that only recognize two genders and had these ideas drilled into our heads. How do we know that the Indians didn't have it right the whole time and we were wrong? It is understandable to feel uncomfortable when confronted with ideas that challenge our existing notions. Remember, cultures are constantly evolving. To the author of this piece, I challenge you to do some more research and try to zoom out a bit, look at this issue from a more broad perspective. Try and see if any of your preconceptions are wrong.

MemberGender formally refers to how you gramatically refer to something regardless of whether its male or female, and how the rest of your sentence (verb endings, pronouns, determiners, etc.) should concord with it (just like with singular/plural). Hence, in "modern" english (because gramatical gender doesn't exist in english anymore), sex is what you physically are, while gender is what you expect people to refer to you as.
As far as I can tell, though, Finnish is completely gender-neutral as far as grammar is concerned (even moreso than English), which would explain why the distinction between sex and gender is even more confusing to you as it is for most people (which is already quite a lot).

MemberI have to respectfully disagree. This whole gender identity thing will go the way of the Hippies, especially considering that Generation Z is currently a complete counter-culture to Millennial thinking. If projections are to be believed from the behavior that the oldest from Generation Z entails, then SJW ideologies will simmer, steep, and loose their traction / foothold.
Houston Jobo
MemberI see it as there's 2 (and a half) Genders; there's male, female, and hermaphrodite (but that's a mix of the two, it's extremely rare, and it's a mutation).
I just don't like when Gender becomes a personality Zodiac, forced on everyone.
Y'know the saying "I don't care what you do, as long as it doesn't affect me"? That's what's gotten everyone's panties in a bunch. The common worry is someone rudely crusades for pronouns; But that's SJW stuff, and I don't want to base my perspective on that. But others let it and it's a formula for misguided rage on both ends... More so for the SJWs to be perfectly accurate.
Just my attempt at understanding this brave new world of artificial identity crisis.
This comment won't end a thing is the problem, this topic is bound to be debated via flaming keyboard and waste everyone's time.

MemberThis post mixed up sex and gender. Weird. Male and female are terms defined biologicaly by dna and body structure.
Man and woman are terms that represent imaginary social constructions we as a society use to describe to others the role we play in our lives. We made them up. They don't have to reflect our biology, it's just that we decided long ago that our biology determined who we as people can and should be, and that today we have changed our minds about that.

MemberI looked at something else the artist posted in response to negative feedback, explaining that they weren't referring to 'real' trans people (whatever the hell that means), and were instead referring to people who identified with made-up genders like 'fee fi fo fum,' as the artist puts it. If that's the case, I have two criticisms to make:
1: You had a really ham-handed way at going about this, if this was not meant to address 'real trans people' (known in common vernacular as trans people), because that's what this sounds like. When addressing a scientific issue your language needs to be precise.
2: This seems to me like a strawman. I can't read the artist's mind, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they just didn't know any better, but there's no credible movement to get you to adapt to pronouns other than he, she, and they. All the transgender people I know still self-identify within the gender binary so I don't see the problem.
It'sYaBoi69
MemberOkay, many things here are wrong, but I'll simply only go over the one I'm able to best explain, which would be the mess that is the asexual bit. Labels such as homosexual and heterosexual are referring to sexual attraction. Someone who is asexual doesn't experience sexual attraction, which means they can't look at someone and go "Wow, they're sexy. I'd fuck them." HOWEVER, this doesn't mean they can't enjoy the act of sex itself. Some asexual people ARE sex-repulsed, and find it undesirable, but being asexual does not directly mean they don't enjoy or engage in sexual activities. Someone who is asexual can masturbate, enjoy it, and still be asexual. If they were thinking about someone while masturbating, and/or imagining sex with a specific someone while masturbating, they would not be asexual since they were sexually attracted to someone. If you want to have sex, you CAN STILL be asexual. If you want to have sex with a specific person, you CAN NOT be asexual.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
BlueDingo
MemberDepends on what you mean by "breasts". Technically, a breast is the pectorial muscles plus everything covering it, meaning men do indeed have them. It's basically the chest's equivalent of a "buttock". Seriously, haven't you ever wondered why a bird's breast is called a breast despite birds not having breasts? Then again, "bird pecs" doesn't sound as palatable.
If you mean functioning mammaries, a man actually can grow a pair if you pump enough estrogen into him over a long enough period of time. What it should say is "men don't normally/naturally get them".

Member"sex = gender" I will refer to their "feelings≠ facts" comment.words are weird. Meanings change. As of this comment, I believe sex =chromosomes. Gender= societal construct. I.e. masculine/feminine leaning.
Also, according to the "sexuality" section, Im nothing. Cause I've been attracted to people with XX and XY chromosomes, but never to Masculine types.
As a final note. I do understand the frustration. Wether someone is masculine or feminine is a tag society puts on people based on their actions or appearance. If im attracted to someone who acts, looks, sounds like a woman, and they just "say" they are a man, does that make me bi now? Short answer, no. I have no say in what you want to identify as, and you have no say in my sexuality. If I find you attractive in a straight way, and you identify as the same gender, so be it. Im still straight, you still whatever gender you wanna be.

MemberI mean I kinda agree but even I know he is spewing bullshit in some areas
Dreameggsoaring
MemberA lot, but the main points are:
Sex: It gets a lot of very, very basic biological facts wrong. Man can lactate, women have two ovaries (not eggs), a fertilized egg becomes an embryo, not a "baby," a period is not "the vagina bleeding," the word "testosterone" is misspelled every single time, etc.
Also, biological sex isn't binary (it's bimodal, not binary), it depends on (including, but not limited too) whether or not the individual has the SRY gene (almost always attached to the Y chromosome, but not always), whether that gene is expressed (i.e. produces the protein it codes for), whether that protein is properly absorbed, the level which are produced and absorbed, etc.
Any single attempt to reduce biological sex to a binary: e.g. "everyone is either XX or XY," "everyone either has a penis or a vagina," "everyone who has XY chromosomes will develop testicles and not ovaries," "no one with a penis naturally experiences a menstrual cycle," etc., will fail. Every single one of those statements has counter-examples. Biological sex is messy, and to attempt to erase the messiness is to ignore the facts.
Anyone with such a limited understanding of the biological facts should not be attempting to educate others on the subject.
Gender: There are no biological or natural "facts" about gender, there are only collective agreements made by societies, communities, etc. Biological sex answers questions about e.g. the chemical nature of testosterone and how it affects physical development and behavior, which are factual and objective. Gender answers questions like "which genders are allowed to wear a dress" and "what colors are masculine." The answer to those questions don't exist in nature, but rather in collective agreement.
You could /try/ to make the argument that the /best/ definition for gender is to make gender wholly determined by biological sex, but you can't argue that your system is /factually correct/ any more than you could prove a particular caste system is the "factually correct" way of assigning people roles in society.
And as it turns out, making gender entirely determined by biological sex leads to a lot of undue misery in people who feel forced into a role that doesn't suit them; I'd argue it's far better to let people pick their own damn pronouns for the sake of their happiness and mentally wellness.
Sexuality: Similar to gender, these are just labels we made up to describe things. You can argue about what the most useful way to define a label is, but you can't argue what the "correct" definition is because words are just things we invented to communicate an idea.
For example: Trying to argue that an asexual person CAN NEVER experience sexual arousal or CAN NEVER engage in a sexual activity is one way you could define "asexual"... but that would exclude a huge swath of people who experience very limited sexual arousal and for who it would be useful and validating to have access to the label to express that.
tl;dr: The people who actually understand the subject are upset because the very same dumbasses who tout "Facts, not feelings!!!" are the same one whose "facts" couldn't get them through a 6th grade biology quiz or who don't understand why "person with peenis wearing skirt?? i'm uncomfty :(" isn't a "fact" argument.

MemberThe reason its transphobia is because the artist is stating that you cannot change your gender and that there are only two genders, when gender isnt binary
Cunny69
MemberWhich is entirely true. You cannot physically change your gender. Your gender, which is just a fancy word for "sex", is hardcoded in your DNA. You cannot simply switch out your Y chromosome for another X chromosome. There are only 2 genders/sexes. Male and female. Even hermaphrodites, something which is very rare, only have 1 set of chromosomes, those being XX, so technically they're still female despite having a penis and ovaries together.
There's only 2 genders and you cannot change them, no matter how much you wish for it or you pretend like new age science isn't totally made-up. Pills don't change your gender, surgery doesn't change your gender.
If there was a way of replacing chromosomes it would be a different story, but you cannot replace chromosomes. Stop being delusional.

Member"If you engage in sexual activities of any kind, you are NOT asexual"
Mind you, I myself am asexual, and damn well know it is all about the attraction, not what you choose to do and not do.
An asexual person can still have sex, it's just that they feel little-to-no sexual attraction to anyone or anything.
There's so much more wrong with this image, I could go on for a several essays' worth, but I'm sure the others before me have got it covered.
Remember, none of this is a choice. It's only about the attraction.
The gender identities are all about how the person themselves feel about their gender.
What is behind those pants and underwear of yours does NOT have to define what sex you are.
A person's biological gender can be male, but they can identify as anything else.
A person's biological gender can be female, but they can identify as anything else.
As a lot of people say, trans rights are human rights. It's about how the person themselves feel about their own gender.
If you're female and feel it's right for you to be male, go right ahead, it's how you feel deep inside.

Some people who identify as transgender have not yet gone through the transition. This is normally due to three things; they are not prepared for it yet, they aren't old enough yet (the minimal age to begin HRT is 16), or they do not have the money for it.
Genderfluid people are not "two genders at the same time." As the term's name implies, it's fluidity in one's gender based on how that person feels. At one point the person will feel like/identify as a female, at another point, they will feel like/identify as a male, or it could be with any other identity. It isn't limited to only female and male, it can be any other identity.

MemberThis is really disappointing, but hate is everywhere I suppose.
My 2 best responses though: intersex people is neither fully male or fully female. (Meaning, there are more than 2 at birth sexes.)
And second: there are 47 variations of sex chromosomes. Autism, along with other disorders, usually come from these many variations. Which is why a lot, but not all (because chromosomes are not the only contribution to sex and gender), trans people are neurodiverse.

MemberWow. This is disgusting. You agree that intersex people exist, but that they don't count because of reasons that I will not repeat. You basically called them a freak of nature and therefore believe they shouldn't even be disgust in a conversation about "normal" sex at birth. But guess what buddy, whether you want to think about them or not, they exist. They, themselves as a living being who may or may not be able to reproduce, are neither male or female. They are intersex. That's one, two, three options there if you can count that high buddy. Welcome to *beyond 5th grade biology* it's a bit scary past elementary school, but I'm sure you'll make it just fine bud.

MemberВ русском языке "женщина" это человеческая особь способная родить ребёнка. Не важно кем и как себя чувствует кто-либо, если он не может родить ребёнка то это "ОН", в противном случае "ОНА". Всё чётко, ясно и закреплено законодательно. Мы же не называем карандаш - расчёской, потому что если называть вещи не теми названиями которые устоялись - никто никого не поймёт.

Memberhooly shit. not only is a good portion of this wrong, its just stupid (when I say male and female in this I refer to the sex characteristics)
1: males can lactate. people born with XY chromosomes can absolutely lactate. lactation is controlled by a hormone called prolactin, and while male individuals usually do not create prolactin, there are cases where they do (obesity, gynecomastia, etc). This is because before sex is determined in the womb, all fetuses technically start off as female (sexless, but, female because of the mothers own hormones). sex gets determined once a y chromosome gets activated or not, if it doesn't, then the child will gain the chromosome from their father instead of the Y. All human beings have mammary glands, males and females. however, their activation is based on hormones, not biology. obese males have been documented to lactate as fat stores estrogen, and an excess of estrogen tells the body to lactate. (source: https://www.goodrx.com/health-topic/mens-health/men-lactate-prolactin)
2: sex is incredibly broad in how genitals work. babies start with all the nessecary genes to create either male organs or female organs. if a Y chromosome is activated, the clitoris elongates and the urethra travels upwards, and the clitoral hood turns into the foreskin, the vaginal orface closes (the separatory line between the balls and butthole, the perineum, is an after effect of that). if no Y chromosomes are activated, the testicles stay within the body and don't form into testicles, and migrate upwards to become ovaries, the Epididymis becomes the fallopian tubes, and the skin that would've formed the sac of the testicles tightens and becomes the outer labia. the uterus breaks down in males and eventually does not exist mostly, and takes the form of parts of the prostate (source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK222286/)
3: X and Y arent the only chromosomes in the animal kingdom. W and Z chromosomes also exist (not in humans, but in other animals such as chickens). this means that sex as a whole is not linear, its a damn mess of things even if you see intersex peoples variations as "mistakes" (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex-determination_system) you also do not need males in species to reproduce, as all asexual reproducing species are phenotypically female. take the Mexican whiptail lizards. there are no males, but there were traces of males in their genome. females have to stimulate virgin females and take on roles of male lizards to make the new mother start to lay eggs (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Mexico_whiptail)
4: "facts don't care about your feelings", what is a fact is that the majority of transgender individuals have brain matter compositions that do not specifically designate female or male brain matter compositions (dura matter is a big portion of this). this does not mean that I, a FTM, have a male brain, but I have what could be easily described as a "transgender brain". we know very, VERY little about the brain, let alone whether or not it determines gender or sexuality or anything for that matter, so we cannot just say "facts don't care about your feelings" when these "feelings" may or may not be fact, we have a lot to learn, and we cant just base our logic on what is externally seen when numerous studies are coming day and day again about things we do not know about the brain (source:https://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2016/gender-lines-science-transgender-identity/)
in conclusion, get off your high horse. the way other people live their lives and view themselves isnt your problem. it costs nothing to be nice, but it can cost someone their life to be a dick

MemberThere's a difference between sex and gender. I didn't have gender with your mom last night.
Sorry for the immature humour
Rush123
MemberGender isn't just a fancy word for sex. Sex=What they were born as biologically, Gender=What one identifies as based on social/cultural differences. The idea of gender being tied strictly to sex is a modern western mentality, when all throughout histories many societies had a 3rd, 4th, or even way more genders, usually seen as being the inbetween of male/female or on the outside of the spectrum.

MemberFor sex to be bimodal there would have to be a quantitative x axis, what is that x axis? The only real argument for this would be “sex” but no biologist will argue that some males are more “male” than other nor that some females are more “female” than others. If a male is neutered, no biologists or scientist will suddenly classify them as less male. If a female has larger shoulder, we dont suddenly classify them as more male, if a male has breasts due to a biological disorder- we don’t classify them as female etc etc
Secondary sex characteristics are certainly a bimodal, but there is only 2 sex phenotypes that are possible in humans, that being male and female, thus only two sexes. This applies to intersex people too who do not fall out of that definition either, all intersex people are born male or female, they cant be both since sex in humans in antagonist (even then it’d just be an organism with both sexes, not a third)
Biological sex is binary even though there is a rainbow of sex roles

The whole concept of people not being allowed to have the medical freedom to take hormones is unAmerican, as unamerican as being forced to donate blood to your relatives is, oh wait you cannot be forced to do that. Testosterone boosters are something you can't trip on your keyboard on a google search bar, and not find.
A person without hormones isn't human male or female to you then? This problem comes up in sci-fi occasionally, how do you program a robot to recognize a human? Some of them are blind, some of them wear full body paint, some of them have no legs. Some of them can't walk despite having legs. Some of them are mute. A baby has no hair and no adam's apple. So you probably have to have a list of factors that add up to 600% if you want to fail within safety parameters. An aging 60 year old with about as much testosterone as a 3 year old girl hasn't stopped being a male, he is what he says he is.
Are we being the pants police now? Do you propose we check everyone's genitals before we're allowed into the bathroom? Do you want to have a man standing at the ladies bathroom demanding to see down their pants or up their skirts? Sounds like something you are explicitly trying to avoid, isn't it? Fucks sake.
~no pit hair or eyebrows, huge lashes for the lioness? You need some therapy mate. Have you HAD the birds and bees talk?
"Trans isn't genderfluid" no imma screenshot that one line and you failed transphobia, because you're right, a trans man will NEVER BE A LADY. That is a fact of gendered brain scans, of a decade of science, and yer mom Im pretty sure voted for Obama, so you're completely right all the time you are saying those three words with your nose physically touching a mirror. No other times are you right.
Anyways, I'm turning into a pumpkin, sneerin at idiots has been a productive battle against the nightmare that never stops 0u0

MemberThere's an old saying I like to live by. It goes something like this:
"A Christian, a Jew, a Muslim, a Pagan, and an atheist walk into a coffee shop. And they talk, laugh, drink coffee, and become good friends. It's not a joke, that's just what happens when you're not an asshole."
If you think people of different backgrounds, belief systems, political ideologies, ect. can't coexist and get along, you're probably the problem.

MemberOvaries and ovum are not the same thing.
JeremyJenkins8897
BlockedObviously, but can't you see that this is why they said "egg cells"?
Indeed during each menstrual cycle usually one but sometimes two ova are released from one or both ovaries.
This feels awfully like those people who ignore everything a person is saying and instead focus on their use of "there" instead of "they're".

Coz at this point if the taxpayers would pay for me to get some budget knockers instead of 4 seconds of full auto fire offa wildcat gatling gun, I would donate this opportunity to my breast cancer survivor ma in law.
Full stop. This never HAS happened. Once. Private insurance barely ever covers this. TAXPAYER dollars don't cover most leg reconstruction surgeries for veterans if they are too long out of service, even if the medical technology has just been invented for it or such recently. First responder victims of 911 had no fewer than 3 bills in congress written about them, and they still can't get Uncle Sam to pay for their CHEMO they need, provably, from their time of being a national fkn hero! WHERE did you, or anyone, get the idea that the government is handing out this sorta thing like defense spending?
Really didn't want to get political here, hope factual covers it. If I get a mark thats okay, but... that was egregious echo chamber garbage.

I do have authority to speak on the asexual part. Ace people absolutely can participate in sexual activities. Some may for romantic/emotional connection, reproduction, or just for the quick dopamine release. There are also all of the gray-ace varieties though I guess they weren't specifically mentioned.

Memberand men can induce lactation fairly easily with no hornones.
the hard part is the time you need to put into it, but you really only need to stimulate your nips similar to how a baby breastfeeding would.
