    Sadly I think you missed this. Again, not undiscernable. Are you able to understand that?

    You should let the author of this text book know that his definition is complete crap lol:

    In sexually reproducing animals, there are two sexes, the male and the female. There may be different ways to express maleness or femaleness, as we will see, but the divide is a real one. […] We have already defined male and female based on gonads and on the type of gametes produced in those gonads, either eggs or sperm.

        In addition to the other links I’ve already posted to peer-reviewed papers explaining the same thing, yes, the fact that you can find the same definition in any textbook on biology shows that is a useful definition that’s used widely across the field of biology.

        You can’t cite anything to the contrary.

          Nobody needs to cite a damn thing. You’re not interested in science except where it suits you.

          You on the other hand, making attacking trans people your daily mission rather than getting on with your life?

          You will make a fascinating case study for a psychologist one day.

          Closeted cowardly little attack dog scared of your own shadow.

              It is pure tragicomedy that a person who has not done the work on themselves - who is full of self-doubt and self-loathing and does not know who they are - comes here to presume to tell those of us who have done the work and who do know who we are, that we don’t know who we are.

              In ten years time, when this person grows up and gets tired of running from themselves, when they finally face themselves honestly, they will come to realize that others spotted them a decade ago. That all that time they were fooling nobody, not even themselves.

              That all that time, they could have had self-respect, friends and maybe even a love life, but instead they chose to be unpleasant, mean spirited, cowardly and dishonest, rather than look inward.

              I tire of even insulting such a wretched individual, such an intellectual and emotional lightweight that I could eat for breakfast.

              The singular reason that I take pity on this pathetic and confidently wrong individual is because I was once a bit like them (albeit not as much of an asshole).

              Regret is forever.

              Because it doesn’t fucking matter a rats ass in the context of people living their lives.

              You can’t leave it alone? You need to be right?

              Newsflash: You’re autistic too!

              Edit: I’m autistic myself and happy with it.

                  Science is investigative discipline, it is neither for/against.

                  You cherrypicking science is anti trans.

                  In the context of people living their lives and being as they are, science isn’t even relevant.

                  What’s decidedly unscientific though is coming into a room full of people called “Brian” while telling them that nobody is called “Brian” because you’re too much of a pussy to just face your own gender nonconformity.

                  The lady doth protest too much!

                    You’re again confusing sex and gender. I am merely stating a widely recognized scientific fact that the original meme is incorrect about.

                    I would love nothing more than for this entire thread to have not happened. The response to my original comment should have been “Yep, that’s true for sex, thanks for differentiating it from gender”

                    If you can’t handle the truth, that’s on you.

          I was being sarcastic. Secretly I think you’re far, far more stupid than you begin to realise, because everyone who tries to explain what science or scientific method or scientific consensus means has wasted their breath because you’d rather cling to and defend daddy trump’s pseudoscience than learn amything. It’s willful ignorance and maybe the only cure is when trump’s goons kidnap someone you actually care about in real life that you might begin to question him in any meaningful way.
