I read this article
sciencebasedmedicine.org/in-wh… and then I watched the documentary "What Is a Woman?" + several discussions/debates about sex and gender. I wrote about this subject and I started a bigger book a year or so ago that I may finish it one day...
So...
I think both sides are wrong, and partially right at times. One side is like "There are only 2 genders, male and female, everything else is BS". These people are usually religious. The other side is like "There are many genders and people are born gay, or whatever, it is in our genes".
Now...what is trues is that most human beings are born either male of female, from a biological perspective. So their chromosomes or genitalia can be classified as one or another. And about 1-2% are in-between kinda, from that perspective. So we do have 2 sexes mainly, and exceptions that fit in-between (intersex). That's not something anyone can argue against.
But now what about how people behave? What they are sexually attracted to? Identify as? Well I could not find any study to show any strong correlation between any bio-chemical or genetic marker and any such behavior....to put it simply, you cannot look at anyone's genes, biology or chemistry and say "Ah, yeah this one likes males, this other one likes females. And this one identifies as a woman.". There is no such thing.
So this thing called "gender" has many meanings. Whatever people think they are, is whatever they think they are. Good for you. But there is nothing inborn about sexuality or sexual attraction. This applies for me, for you, for anyone else. So what!? We pick up our values, wishes, fears, funniness, from the environment. All we are is a creation of the environment. Good. Why is it that important to debate so long about gender and such!?
Anyone can identify as they wish, and fuck what they want, and behave in any way they want. If in the process they create any harm to someone else, we should focus on that. Easy.
LGBTQ TRELK GJDSNR etc. People should fuckin' relax. And also please do not entangle science with your feelings. If science tells us something, we should accept it regardless of the consequences.
Ok?
