  • Thank you for your reply. I don’t think we disagree that much, but I’m afraid we may be miscommunicating a bit.

    What determines “biological sex”?

    Chromosomes? Except someone with Androgen Insensitivity may have XY chromosomes, but physically appear to be female.

    Genitalia? But we have intersex people with ambiguous genitalia

    Testosterone? Caster Semanya

    Full disclosure: this seems more your field than mine. I don’t think I’m educating you, just trying to clarify my point. It seems like you’re arguing against “There’s no such thing as assigned gender at birth”. What I’m saying that there is no objective way to categorize all humans into neat little sex boxes. Biological sex is a spectrum with most people either at the “male” point or the “female” point, but some examples everywhere in between.


  • I’m not going to form a solid opinion about someone with one tweet. I will certainly keep an eye out for more information.

    (I don’t think using Lemmy profits this person? I don’t know. I care much more about supporting someone who may be transphobic than just knowing they exist.)

    “Biological male” is a meaningless term generally used by transphobes. And the whole debate is transphobic on its face. Nobody cares about women’s sports at all, and now people jumping to"defend their sanctity" are just goofy.
