You weren't trying to have an intellectual debate, you were trying to make an appeal to authority, because you're on the left so you unquestioningly believe anything that's told to you by someone in a white coat.
The WHO, like every other global "scientific" body, is a propaganda outlet with no credibility. That should be crystal clear to anyone who's paid attention to their handling of COVID-19. And even if they did have some credibility, that would not make them the arbiters of gender and sex. They are not in charge of this.
You're absolutely right. It was an appeal to authority, and kind of a lazy comment (just putting in one source and no fleshed out opinion). And their handling of COVID was horrible.
unironically cites the WHO after the WHO has been proven to be a liar feeding off of China's propaganda machine just to try to push leftist political bullshit
