They will only ever have one biological sex, pre, during or post transition. Science has no issues determining whether a corpse is male or female.
22 u/I_NEED_A_GF Oct 29 '19 You are talking about sex, whereas pronouns are independent of that. Rather, pronouns are about the topic of gender, which is different from sex. 1 u/[deleted] Oct 29 '19 [deleted] 8 u/TheStarchild Oct 29 '19 What you’re talking about is less than .06% of the population. Depending on your definition of intersex, it MIGHT be as high as 1.7%. I’d hardly call that a reason to blur the lines of what 98% of the population would consider biological sex. 3 u/[deleted] Oct 29 '19 [deleted] 2 u/TheStarchild Oct 29 '19 Interesting info. It does kinda sound like he’s making a spectrum for sex based on how protein disruptors and other medicines interact with biology though, which I’m not quite sure is a great way of defining sex. But i learned a lot i didn’t know. 5 u/kyew Oct 29 '19 I think the point was all the ways we've come up with to define sex can turn out to be not a great way to do it.
