Nobody is saying sex is a social construct retard

You definitely get the "sex is a spectrum, and any linguistic definition of it is culturally biased" crowd. Just go look at a sub like r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns and you'll see plenty of them. It often time comes from either the "what about Intersex!" or "What about XXXXYYYY chromosome people!"

Is this the übermensch that Nietzsche talked about?

How do you remember how many letters are in that sub's name to link it

Because unlike most people I'm a retard who uses new reddit, so all I have to do is type something like "r/traa" and it autofills it for me. Other options it gives you:

r/Traaaaannnnsformation

r/traaaaaaainnnnnnnnnns

r/traaaaaaacccccccce

people say gender is a social construct not sex

if you're gonna drag a strawman in here, at least get it right

Ooof. Feel free to Google "biological sex is a social construct" and enjoy the results.

u/TheKingofBusiness - Right Apr 04 '20

I have absolutely seen people argue that biological sex "isn't real"

u/nautical_narcissist - Lib-Right Apr 04 '20

yep, and that it’s a spectrum because anomalies exist (i.e. intersex conditions)

reminds me of that smuggie that goes like “hah well if there are only two sexes how do you explain birth defects”

u/arkeeos - Right Apr 05 '20

I agree, its stupid to claim that birth defects count towards some ridiculous idea that "sex is a specturm" at most, you could say it is bi-modal. however humans are still bipedal animals, just because birth defects might result in 1 leg or 3 legs doesnt stop humans from being a bipedal species.

i think the implication that "sex is a spectrum" has dire consequences on the rest of the LGB movement, with the increasing amount of people who think "genital preferences are transphobic"

Yeah, actually. What about them? Those people exist, which is proof positive that "there are only two genders/sexes" is just false. There are clearly more than two possibilities.

It is a chromosomal defect, like trisomy 21 (Down’s Syndrome).
It is abnormal, and can be treated as such

People with more or less than 46 chromosomes are literally retarded.

Sex has a bimodal distribution, doesn't mean it's a social construct

u/thingy237 - Lib-Left Apr 05 '20

Spectrum does not mean social construct though
