Intersex exists. Gender isn't binary. The end.

Intersex doesn't exist. It's a lay misnomer. There are only DSDs, which are sex-specific -- each DSD is found in one sex and not the other.

'Gender' no longer means anything, really. Some people seem to use it to mean personality or personal style. But sex in humans is binary. Every human ever born has had two parents, one of each sex, the large-gamete sex and the small-gamete sex. That's a binary proposition.

Or maybe you can explain why attempting to call a bunch of people that still don't fit the standard male-female model something besides intersex means that only male and female exist?

Only male and female exist. There is no third sex and no human has three natural parents. Lifestyle options and social presentation aren't biology. New Zealanders sometimes claim that the Maori recognise a third sex, the fa'afine, but those are just homosexual men, or insufficiently gender-conforming men, who are (forced to be) treated as honorary women. Western woke gender ideology tends to function in the same reactionary way -- 'If you're non-conforming you must be transed.'

Intersex doesn't exist.

Of course it exists. It's simply an umbrella term for people born with conditions in their chromosomes, hormones, or genitals (etc.) that don't fit the standard male/female patterns. The existence of those cases in not a matter of debate.

I will refer you to the link above for further questions. Your question is answered extensively there.

I thought you were arguing gender is not the same as sex?

Anyways you just told me about intersex to somehow disprove sex is binary

Are you really incapable of telling everyone how you determine sex? That's pretty feeble for someone claiming to have a medical degree

How do you determine someone's sex?

Correct.

Correct.

No. In fact, only you asked, and you were directed to my answer.

How do you determine someone's sex?

Again, see this:

You can even ctrl-F for "The 10 Biological Markers of Sex"

Good luck.

You need to look for 10 biological markers to determine someone's sex? The link calls it gender. We are talking about sex

You claim to have a medical degree and can't explain how you determine someone's sex?

This is amazing

Someone didn't read the article. As I said when I first linked this article to you, it discusses both sex and gender in the article. It does not conflate them at all. You would look less silly if you just read it.

by hole in wan m

You claim to have a medical degree and can't explain how you determine someone's sex?

No. I do have a medical degree and I can explain how to determine someone's sex. In fact, I directed you to a very thorough explanation of it. Why are you ignoring that?

I have a feeling amazing you is not difficult.

You posted a link with the text "gender spectrum" in it as the response to me asking YOU to explain how YOU determine SEX

I didn't know people with a medical degree can't explain to you how they determine sex without linking you to something about gender spectrum

Since you can't explain how you determine sex your own words perhaps you could extract your definition from the link

C'mon, man. He sent you a detailed response to your question.

If you don't know how to read, then just say so and move on please.

Note well I'm not stanning for Gorgonian. I'm not even saying I necessarily agree with him. But he did refer you to a detailed response to your question from his perspective.

hole in wan is suffering from what is called "aliteracy." Similar to "illiteracy," but it means a refusal to read rather than an inability.


by geezerchess m

If you don't know how to read, then just say so and move on please.

I'll give you some clues

1. It doesn't take an article to explain how you determine sex.

2. He didn't define it himself while claiming a medical degree

3. We are talking about sex and he linked me to an article titled "gender spectrum "

4. He's avoided answering at least a half dozen basic questions about HIS OWN views

Someone who can read but won't is no better off than a man who can't read at all.

4. He's avoided answering at least a half dozen basic questions about HIS OWN views

1. I agree with you. But we could be wrong, so why don't we read the article?

2. I suspect his definition is in the article.

3. He already explained that the article discusses both sex and gender and he claims that the two are not conflated.

4. I presume "his own views" are in the article. Why else would be post it?

Not sure why this is hard for you.

I'll give you some clues. You get the bare minimum from me because you're a d-head.

3. We are talking about sex and he linked me to an article titled "gender spectrum "

As was explained to you multiple times, it talks about both gender and sex separately and how they relate. The section I directed to you is about ONLY sex. You're ignoring that in order to be purposely obtuse, which fools no one. This is as asinine as not understanding how I ordered pasta at Olive Garden.

I've avoided dancing to your tune because you are a disingenuous, lying df.

Here's your last clue. If geezerchess asked me almost anything I'd answer him in my own words and take my time with him. But I'd probably do it in PMs to avoid indirectly giving you any more than you deserve.




by Gorgonian m

This is a blog, but it's really well written. Recommended reading. Please have an open mind.

https://cadehildreth.com/gender-spectrum...

(yes it discusses both sex and gender)

Interesting. Not too earth shattering though, until people start reading things into it. Some on the left won't like it because it doesn't really insert their blank-slate human nature belief and some on the right won't because they can't smuggle in the devil. Ironically, the witch hunts probably had less to do with getting rid of witches along with their evil doings and more to do with religious people 'justifying their belief' in the supernatural. Same with this issue on both sides.

I wanted you to put it in to your own words so that I didn't have to read a pile of absolute dogsht from a grifter. Ok and I would be amused watching you bumble around with idiotic theories. The title on the link said "gender spectrum". I mean this was obvious.

Here's the author on his own website

Cade Hildreth is an entrepreneur, investor, and former USA Rugby Player. Cade has founded seven-figure businesses, scaled websites to millions of views, acquired a portfolio of income-producing real estate assets, and played rugby worldwide.

Often compared to Tim Ferriss and Ramit Sethi, Cade teaches millions to expand financially, while living an authentic and adventurous life.

I'll cut to the chase. Sex is binary. The grift douche barely glossed over the central and most important word here

Gametes. We have small and large gametes. Sperm and egg. Men produce sperm and women produce eggs. That's it. Two sexes. There's no 3rd option. It really is that simple. But what about intersex? They also are either male or female. Large or small gametes. Different chromosomes but your sex is based on gametes.

If you want to or care to listen/watch an actual expert going in to detail about morphology etc you can watch here. It's all explained. You can watch the whole thing, skip to minute 5 or minute 23 to get key points

You are one of most intellectually dishonest posters I've seen in a long time.

For some reason you didn't cite Hildreth's credentials to speak on this topic.

From the same website you yourself quoted from:

Cade studied Biology and Chemistry at Dartmouth and Smith College, as well as earned an M.S. in Biotechnology & Molecular Biology at Georgetown University, where Cade was Valedictorian.

I'm not saying this guy is right and you are wrong. But you are clearly posting in bad faith by not quoting his credentials that are relevant to the conversation, while quoting his accomplishments not germane to this topic.


This whole thread is a fascinating read, wild mixture of really nuanced discussion with utter BS and everything in between.

A much easier definition though for woke is (probably too easy, that's why it ill be rejected by most, not "mysterious" enough):

A definition/smear for everyone/everything that disagrees with me.
Same with "fake news". A fact you don't like? Easy, call it fake news, may be even from a "woke" reporter. Case close.

Study what Joseph Goebbels did ... he invented that ****.

Gametes. It really is that simple.

No, it isn't. In some contexts it can be a sufficient distinction to serve some purposes, but it is a tiny slice of what biological sex really is. This is, again, covered in the article I linked.

Thank you. I wasn't going to bother defending the source since I wasn't using it as a citation, just a well written summary, but I appreciate you pointing out the dog-sh level of honesty from this absolute pos.

There's nothing dishonest about pointing out the guy is a guru grifter who's website i was directed to is focused on his ability to teach you how to get rich. You can sign up for his newsletter, listen to his podcast or sign up for his coaching if you'd like to get rich quick

He then posts his write up on how sex is on a spectrum which in the same line of his get rich quick vibes, transparently idiotic bullsht

If your takeaway is that I'm being intellectually dishonest, thats things going over your head and reaching lol conclusions

The intellectual dishonesty is the whole wackadoodle butchering of science and reality while he completely glosses over gametes. It's absolutely absurd. It would be like explaining an alternative theory to how pregnancy works and forgetting to mention sperm and eggs. I don't need to highlight his Biology degree, I need to highlight that he's a get rich quick grifter and sending me to his website in order to explain to me that sex is on a spectrum is idiotic. I also left out he's good at playing rugby and that's just as relevant to to his degree when it comes to how valid his sex on a spectrum nonsense is. Being a get rich quick grifter is far more in line with his sex on a spectrum theory than a Biology degree and should be pointed out

Tldr don't blame me when things go over your head. On top of i asked for gorgonians method for defining sex, not the grifter. He refused and insisted I visit some get rich gurus website. I knew better. I tried. He insisted

Ok you don't know what Biological sex is and can't grasp it when it's laid out for you. I'm not surprised. Figured that much when you refused to give your own method in determining sex. Well aktshually it needs a whole story of context which completely skips over gametes....

Ok bud. Your whole schtick is to be obnoxiously ignorant. Don't ever change
