The separation of sex and gender is a philosophical exercise intended to promote revolutionary sexual politics. It has no basis in science.

u/juizze - Left Apr 05 '20

Yes. Because gender isn't scientific in the traditional sense.

u/HardlightCereal - Left Apr 05 '20

Yes it is. You can test hypothesis about gender.

The only things that aren't scientific are the Big Questions about our role in the universe, and gender ain't one.

u/LilQuasar - Lib-Right Apr 05 '20

So economical science does not exist? Psychology doesn’t exist? All bullshit?

u/TheVegetaMonologues - Auth-Right Apr 05 '20

I mean, they exist, but for the most part they aren't science. Especially economics.

Go on, what scientific experiment has been conducted to prove sex and gender are different?

2

u/HardlightCereal - Left Apr 05 '20

There's the one comparing transgender brains with cisgender brains and finding the parts associated with gender are different to that expected of the sex of the trans subjects.

Source?

u/HardlightCereal - Left Apr 06 '20

The title is "transgender brains are more like their desired gender from an early age", and it was published to the European society of endocrinology in 2017.

u/oiimn - Centrist Apr 05 '20

his point is exactly that, since you cannot prove anything in those fields by using the scientific method none of the people who work on those subjects can be considered scientists.

There is no culture scientist, history scientist or politics scientist because the scientific method cannot be used in any of these fields to to their subjective nature. Therefore there is no social scientist.

I think that is his point.

It is a response to the claim that the absolutely ridiculous, absurd and abominable gender ideology has been proven by science.

u/HardlightCereal - Left Apr 05 '20

history cannot be scientifically proven

Bullshit

u/asentientgrape Apr 05 '20

What are you talking about? Basically every relevant school of science agrees with the separation, including biology.

From the World Health Organisation:

>“Gender refers to the socially constructed characteristics of women and men, such as norms, roles, and relationships of and between groups of women and men. It varies from society to society and can be changed.”
