Biological sex & gender identity

Is it possible to change your biological sex?

Of course not and regardless of the attempts made by a range of left-wing activists and transgender ideologists with the help of published articles that tries to cast doubt on fundamental biological principles.

Biological sex is an immutable characteristic and it entirely depends on the presence or absence of the Y chromosome which is the determining factor. Sex is a biological reality whereas gender identity is just a fantasy.

The gender of a human being is a direct consequence of its biological sex. The two words, sex & gender until recently meant the exact same thing. However through politics & activism now gender is considered a social construct and its definition is so deliberately fluid so it can account of all the absurd & ludicrous claims made in the name of gender & gender identity.


There is a nice article I was reading

Transgender Ideology Is Riddled With Contradictions. Here Are the Big Ones

Featuring Dr Deanna Adkins

In an expert declaration to a federal district court in North Carolina concerning H.B. 2, Dr. Deanna Adkins stated, “From a medical perspective, the appropriate determinant of sex is gender identity.” Adkins is a professor at Duke University School of Medicine and the director of the Duke Center for Child and Adolescent Gender Care (which opened in 2015).

Adkins argues that gender identity is not only the preferred basis for determining sex, but “the only medically supported determinant of sex.” Every other method is bad science, she claims: “It is counter to medical science to use chromosomes, hormones, internal reproductive organs, external genitalia, or secondary sex characteristics to override gender identity for purposes of classifying someone as male or female

Note how absurd these arguments are and especially when made by Gender & Gender Identity 'experts'. Now the good doctor claims that the only way and the correct way to determine biological sex is gender identity!!!

It can't get more absurd than this from whichever angle one looks at it. Dr Adkins argues we need to abandon and disregard billions of years of evolutionary science in favour of left-wing activism and gender ideology. Dr Adkins's arguments are in a turmoil as she calls everything we know as 'bad science'. According to her the determination of biological sex can't be made on the basis of chromosomal make up, internal reproductive organs and external genitalia, but only on the basis of a fantasy such as gender identity.

What do you think?

If there's no such thing as gender or biological sex, then why do Trans folk spend their lives attempting to change said biological markers to mimic those of something they claim doesn't exist?

Answers on a postcard.

The whole thing is madness.

The entire premise for this ideology within the sociological field is based on the existence of hermaphrodites.

However rare this biological error, caused by a gene mutation, they have somehow come up with the idea that gender is on a scale.

They also completely ignore hundreds of thousands of years of evolution and instinct that lead to traditional gender roles and claim that they are solely a product of societal influence.

It's manipulation of young impressionable minds and predation of mental illness to further destruct western civilization.

What if we are being forced to look in the wrong direction?

What if what is occurring is a natural adaptation for human survival, because of something they did that screwed up our environment?

They say that frogs are our canaries in the coal mine. Frogs have been noted over a few years now, to have had alterations in their natural sex formations.

Nature adapts to evolve to sustain life on this planet. What if what we are seeing is maybe an adaptation for the continuation of human like life on this planet, becuase they screwed up big time and they are trying to damage control, by changing our feelings about sexual identity?

Just a thought.

Believe this or nay..My nephew and I were discussing this a while back, along with other important issues such as why him and my other nephew shouldn't use their Aunts house for contraband..(it was a long day)..anywho he tells me " Uncle Bozo, I identify as an attack helicopter., And I have plans for an armageddon bunker in a hole in my wall." Yep, definitely my relation..

But Yeah I was thinking about this issue this morning..Oh no, this website and Pee Wee Herman have taken over my mind..

IMO if one takes it all the way to the quantum nano, She's probably correct. What that means exactly, not sure.
Maybe, just that we are all people. And some will pervert this..or even just selfishly indulge it..but when it comes to the nitty gritty, he can shove in his knife, and when gets home to his children, he's a family man…but me I'm waiting so patiently, lying on the floor, just tryin to do my jigsaw puzzle before it breathes anymore…loosely quoted Stones..just where it went

Yes, very good point.

They have gone even further these transgender activists to claim that gender identity is a reality and biological sex a construct. When it is the other way around. Sex is a biological reality and gender identity isn't just a construct but a fantasy!

Absurd and ludicrous I would add to this.

There are no mammal hermaphrodites and hence no hermaphrodite humans. What we call intersex isn't a third biological sex but a sex development disorder where biological males & females have some mixed characteristics.

Transgenderism has nothing to do with intersex. They often try to conflate it but they are reminded that intersex is a sex development disorder usually known as 46, XX or 46, XY intersex and on the other hand transgenderism is not associated with sex development disorders nor it is one of them.

Can you elaborate further? What do you mean by we may have been forced to look in the wrong direction?

I understand that. But, those intersex deformities are their basis for claiming gender is a scale. At least in the sociology academic field.

I just spent an entire semester pointing this out to a professor who had no counter argument when I pointed this nonsense out when she tried pushing it in our class.

Intersex has nothing to do with gender or transgenderism. Transgender individuals have nothing in common with those who are intersex and the transgender ideology isn't based on the existence of intersex individuals. Transgender people are not intersex.

I don't know what kind of Professor is this one but I would suspect they are not coming from the biomedical fields.

At least in the sociology academic field.

I had no idea sociology was an academic field..Thats why I love ATS..the learning never stops..

You're right. And in the final analysis it comes down to cold hard realities of our biology and anatomy which are what they are... but nothing more and nothing less. And reality always bites us in the ass when we least expect it.

Living a lie never works out well in the end. But that's exactly what these people are creating for themselves and demanding of everyone else.

It's gotta be a very sad life to live. If only because they need outside validation and true self-worth has to come from within one's self regardless of what others think.

The focus and the hoopla is on the result.

Very few, if anyone, are looking at why this has become such a trigger issue.

About 10 years back as a medical provider, I, along with all of my coworkers, were instructed to take mandatory classes, in the new protocols for the elimination of medical waste.

The old way was to flush it down a commode or down a sink. That became taboo because it was found to have untoward affects.

Some very interesting untoward effects, if you want to take some time to look into it.

its transubstantiation all over again..

and will split society...

Well it is part of academia but sociology is in the field of social sciences. What they can't do is to disregard the natural and biomedical sciences in favour of ideologies and political correctness. It makes them even more foolish as this anomalous situation persists.

simply put this is a theological point similar to the bread and wine changing into the body and blood you either believe or not there is no middle ground, and as we've been here before I guess that is part of the reason I live on Terf island.
