You're right, biology doesn't determine gender since gender is a useless subjective term based upon unquantifiable mental states, (in (some) cases their might be some neurobiological differences behind it but not in the direction that gender theorists state. IE The existence of biological intersexuals or a defective protein does not show that biological sex itself is an artificial construct or that you can shuttle between the states freely)
What is not subjective is a biological male who identifies as a woman is a biological male no matter how hard he wishes on a magic star. The left should admit that, and the right should admit that people are allowed to feel how they want for themselves as long as they don't force it on others and we can call it a day.
- damnyou 7y ago*she There are good reasons to "force it on others". Workplaces and schools need to be free of harassment, such as using the wrong pronouns for trans people. Hormone levels count more for "biological sex" than chromosomes do. Hormone levels can be changed easily.

- damnyou 7y agoOf course, and your point is? Unless you're implying that all people are good for is reproducing.
- cybersnowflake 7y agoAlright, if I say I'm a bird and demand that you greet me by fluttering your arms and hopping up and down and bobbing your head I guess you have to do it or you're harassing me. "Hormone levels count more for "biological sex" than chromosomes do. Hormone levels can be changed easily." Ummm...wow okay, thats quite a nonsensical statement. Its like saying "Oil levels count more for what makes a car a car than blue prints and you can change oil easily" Ummm..not quite sure how to respond to that.
