Reminder: "biological male" and "biological female" are not meaningful, coherent categories of people. They are fake. If you are using them you are making a statement about how much you are willing to ignore and erase reality just to avoid rocking the boat - ThreadSky

Actually, I made this chart which reliably demonstrates what categorizes a biological man from a biological woman. Matt Walsh is sobbing right now after reading this.

If someone is going to insist on implying what that implies - that everyone is to be reduced to their genital configuration at birth - please just go ahead and refer to everyone as either "penis people" or "vagina people".

Cis people scared shitless to say the word "cis"

I wish we would stick to phenotypically masculine/feminine if we need nice words for it. it's more accurate, at the minimum. Like we don't need anything, but it's a concession I'd be willing to make

i like to use the cis/transsexual dichotomy for this.

“cis/transsexual male(man)/female(woman)/androgyne(person)” it just sounds cleaner.

it also, imo, does not inherently place value/normality on one over the other while conveying the general concept.

Doesn't that phenotype completely change if you medically transition?

commiecupcake.bsky.social•8 days ago

To a certain extent, it can, yes. but it could be used to describe what's currently present.

Yeah just get rid of the patriarchal science words altogether that were created to differentiate humans along procreationary lines.

I am not male or female I’m non-binary.

taliesin82.bsky.social•8 days ago

I mean I won’t argue with someone that still uses these words for themselves. Like MTF etc just that I think it would be a better world if we moved along from this while still acknowledging reality of biological medical needs for survival

Gender (if it exists at all) exists in the brain. So if you are male in your head, you are biologically male, whatever your genitals. If you are female in your head, you are biologically female, whatever your genitals. We are who we are because we are.

No biological females, only a bionic woman

Thank you. 🙏 Needs to be said more. Biology makes someone a cis woman to the same degree biology makes someone a trans woman.
