Gender Binarism

[northernladyuk]

Political correctness is mad, always has been. There's no going or gone about it. Nothing more than newspeak. ++good.

Much of it is just common courtesy.

Much of it is just common courtesy.

The Marxist replacement for common courtesy and decency. Limiting thought to prescribed areas.

Is it political correctness gone mad?

That's not what I said at all.



It's government gone mad.

I'm a lesbian in a man's body

I'm a lesbian in a man's body

Well I suppose you could call it a man's body.

The thing is there are very few people who are not either male or female - in that they are born with male reproductive organs or female reproductive organs - neuter/hermaphrodite or intersex as they are collectively known are very very rare.

So the chance of being biologically misgendered is actually pretty much zero.

But remember we are not talking about people who are clearly biologically male but want to use a female pro noun because they feel they should be female because that is nothing to do with biological misgendering, instead it is to do with people choosing which gender role they wish to follow .. for today anyway.

You are mistaking sex and gender, one's sex is easier to define, ones gender is not .

Not really point i was trying to make it you are born 'male sex' , 'female sex' or 'intersex' and that cannot be denied.

You can label yourself with what you want.

But what you cannot do is try and deny your biological birth sex.

The point I made earlier which you clearly didn't understand is doctors and midwives sex babies on their external sex organs. If the external organs don't match what is inside or their chromosomes then they can be sexed wrongly at birth. There are now lots of examples of this coming to light thanks mainly to female athletes who discovered they were intersex in later childhood.

I think you may be wrong on that one
