It would be helpful if you chose to educate by linking to the definitions you are using instead of just chastising for someone not knowing the terminology you are using. The Wikipedia article for gender mentions that the terms sex and gender for biological gender/sex have flip flopped multiple times in the last 30 years.
HN is supposed to be a place where people learn, not an anger pit like the rest of the web.
- hackmiester 6y agoI didn’t see any anger in this thread so far.
- Kaze404 6y agoI agree, but you can't really assume good faith from the snarky comment I responded to.
- grogenaut 6y agoReading the GP again, it doesn't seem snarky. They are just stating what they believe the definition is. It's very easy to read emotion into an emotionless format like text. Which means it's very easy to devolve the conversation to anger very quickly.
- Kaze404 6y agoFrom that perspective, you also read emotion on my emotionless text. I was also just stating what I believe the definition is, with no more or less information than the comment I responded to.
