    • I dunno. I'm neutral on this issue. There are cultures who have 3 or 5 genders.

      And even if you go sex=gender, like one in 50 people is intersex. And they might even not know it, so there is a risk that you'll be trolling some Tumblrina who ID's as genderfluid with "LOL science" and then she/they will go to the doctor and find internal balls/XY chromosomes in some tissues.

      I don't really give a fuck this way or another. When you think about it, giving people different names, pronouns and dress codes based on appearance of their crotch at birth is as arbitrary as 457858 Tumblr genders or the five genders in Bugis society.

      • thats ridiculous lol

        unless they grow 10 nipples or something, but thats still not a gender haha

        only two to me though. just as science says

        thats not a gender btw, thats a genetic mutation. something gone wrong during birth.

        what do you mean? if you have a penis, that just means your a male. theres nothing fake about that

        • Well, but why do we call a person with a long erectile organ (penis) and no vaginal opening "he" and a person with a short erectile organ (clitoris) and vaginal opening "she"? Give me a logical argument based on science. And bear in mind, there are languages without gendered pronouns.

          What is gender, then?

          Let's assume that a person with XY in every cell, more T than E, testicles, no ovaries, long erectile organ, no vaginal opening is male. They should wear men's clothes, use men's bathroom, have a boy's name, playing football and getting dirty is cool and badass for them, babbling over a kitten and crying over sad movies is emasculating.

          A person with XX in every cell, more E than T, ovaries, no testicles, short erectile organ, vaginal opening is female. They should wear women's clothing, use women's bathroom, have a girl's name, playing football and geting dirty is dangerous for their fragile body and lowers chances of getting a mate, babbling over a kitten and crying over sad movies is cute.

          There is a whole loaded package with words like "man/male" or "woman/female". There are not simply a diagnosis of a persons body, but carry social implications.

          Let's say a child is born with chimerism. There was supposed to be a pair of twins, male and female, but instead there is one kid with mixed genes. The child has ovotestis, organs composed of mixed tissues and ambigous genitalia. Which clothes, which name, which pronouns, which bathroom etc. would you scientifically give to that person?

          If there is only male and female then how come a third option is "defect"? You would say someone is a man or woman, but callig a whole person a defect is rather disturbing.

          sorry for long post

          • Why? Because we associate a male as having a penis and a girl as having a vagina

            we've always done this. everybody does this

            the united states is just the first country to go mentally crazy to be honest

            look at ANY other country and they all have their heads on straight

            some things are just personality traits and nobody can define what a male or female can be like

            but having a penis is genetic. its a fact of nature. thats why they're a boy. for having a penis. not because they play football

            some boys dont. its a personality trait

            playing football is part of culture anyway. some countries guys play soccer

            its not disturbing, its just the truth haha

            if its a defect, then it is. if the genetics were fucked up, by lets saying incest, then yes, its well known that this happens with inbreeding. defects.

            its what happens. these things can happen
