Your response to my comment was flagged, but you seem to be laboring under some misconceptions here. While biology is what it is, the mapping from biology and other factors to social categories is determined purely socially. Categories and labels are not true or false, they are socio-political processes that can uplift or oppress minorities just like other such processes.

That doesn't mean I'm going to let others tell me that up is down and left is right. At the moment, I feel like I'm the "minority" being "oppressed". It's ironic, since the topic of this thread is "What you can't say". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
