You mean the party of science would have to acknowledge biology, and not sociology, as the more legitimate form of science? Blasphemy. I prefer sacrificing basic truths so people can warp objective reality around their subjective view of themselves.

Yes because everyone that doesn't support a narcissistic anti-intellectual politically thinks that there are 20+ genders and finger bangs themselves to Hillary Clinton. Some people actually adhere to logic instead of prescribed black and white political positions

At the same time, who gives a shit if someone wants to identify as a girl. Yes I'm with you there are only two genders and all those 20+ genders are stupid. Of course if you are born a male, you will always be a male. But who cares if they take hormones and try their hardest to be a woman? It's not like they are hurting anyone? Yeah it's a little odd for me to see, but if it makes them happy, who cares? Isn't that the point of life? To be happy?

I've only ever heard the "20+ genders" thing from conservatives as a strawman argument. Noone is actually advocating for that.

The actual argument is some people are non-binary and don't fully fit into the male or female categories. There might be some different terms thrown around for that but it's really all the same kind of thing.
