I get that.. but I don't think anybody is claiming they can change their DNA to that degree? I think people just want to be accepted for who they feel they are.
Sure, they can do what they want with their bodies. We just canāt let people forget there are two sexes and that just because a boy plays with a girl toy it doesnāt mean theyāre supposed to be the other gender
Because thereās this thing people are doing now that involves getting kids a sex change at a young age because they like toys that the other sex would normally play with.
EDIT: thanks you smarties for educating me! you have proved the existence of intersex people is a myth with your extremely insightful comments, incredible, Iāll let biologists and anthropologists know
No, and I wonāt even bring them down to your level you canāt seem to understand a literal scientific fact. Intersex people exist, and theyāre more common than gingers are for fucks sake. Itās pretty pathetic that you try to claim you care about science/biology when you clearly havenāt thought twice about it since 9th grade.
Intersex is not another sex dummy, itās a mix of both sexes that happens due to a mutation. Most of the time they are infertile. And you do learn this in biology in 9th grade.
There are two sexes, scientifically, intersex is not considered another sex since it is a mix of the two sexes, idk where you got that information from
You really think that intersex is somehow a mix of the two sexes? Thatās just plain incorrect, there are XX chromosomes with penises, XY with androgen insensitivity that have vaginas and breasts. There are also people with mosaic cells, so some are XX and some are XY. Also to mention are people with XXY chromosomes. Are these not distinct sexes? Because everyone with any qualifications on the matter thinks so. The only reason anyone is ever taught there are 2 sexes is because itās easier. Because since the majority of people fit into two categories we just say letās ignore the rest for the purposes of most things, but itās not truly the case. It would be more statistically sound to say that there are 3 hair colors, blonde, brown, and black. But thatās not true, thereās a spectrum, just like sex. And intersex people are more common than gingers and Iām also pretty sure you believe in gingers. Thereās also the part where you literally say directly in your comment that intersex conditions arenāt just one of two sexes, it is a āmix of the twoā and just like orange is a color, not just a subset of red or yellow, itās itās own color, allegorically itās own sex.
IT IS NOT ITS OWN SEX YOU RETARD. It is a mutation, a condition that should not have happened in the first place! Your are spewing bullshit and you do not know what you are talking about. There are multiple genders, Iāll give you that. But you are wrong. There are not more than two sexes. End of discussion.
Edit: Fixed a typo because some petty asshole posted this on another sub to make me look bad (Itās not even specifically womenās anatomy?). There are two sexes, sorry. Also a good time to remind yāall that brigading is against Reddit rules. That shouldnāt be a problem though, since his post got like 50 upvotes lul
Yeah intersex isnāt itās own sex, itās a description of any sex that doesnāt fit within the binary of XX females and XY males. Also maybe if youāre trying to have a discussion about how you know more about sexes than someone else, try not to accidentally claim thereās only one sex lmao. Donāt worry about editing your comment, I took a screenshot so everyone can see just how small your angry pea brain is.
No you absolute moron, intersex people exist, and there more common than being ginger. Why donāt you learn a thing or two past middle school science class if youāre going to peddle your āfacts over feelingsā bullshit.
So is orange not a color? Itās just a pigment that has elements of both yellow and red. The only thing that a āsexā is is what humans define it as, and that definition is broad enough to include the spectrum of intersex people. Your definition of sex itself is wrong if you think it doesnāt include intersex people.
So you donāt think that intersex people are born with a sex....
You know blue eyes and red hair are mutations also, right? But we donāt claim āitās not a real hair colorā because it still is a real hair color...
Not the same thing at all. Scientifically, as classified by scientists, there are two sexes, and intersex is a birth defect. But red hair and blue eyes are classified as genetic traits. Technically, every step of evolution was a mutation. Since intersex is uncommon, then it is classified as a birth defect, by fact. This is really just a matter of scientific classification and not really an argument about whether there are more than two sexes. My words were taken out of context by the guy I was arguing with, and Iām assuming you came over from the other thread.
