Umm there are only two genders - male and female - evidenced at birth by whether a person has penis/balls or a vagina - unless there is a 'mental defect' and/or a chromasomal defect.

Humans are born either male or female and that is both their gender and their 'sex'.
@zonavar68 Trolling?

@zonavar68 So if someone has their penis removed, they're female?
If a woman gets a penis attached, that woman is now a male?

@BohemianBabe I said 'at birth'. So a trans person is always still the sex/gender they were born as regardless.
@zonavar68 So those cases where a male is born without a penis, it's actually wrong to call him a male?

@BohemianBabe I also covered those very rare situations. Basically, if the DNA has XY sex chromosomes the person is male, if XX the person is female. I don't know if YY is possible. This is why gender and sex are the same, and trans people cannot legitimately claim to not be the sex/gender they were at birth.

@zonavar68 but why don’t they not register the x in general both have X chromosomes? And how does it go with intersex persons?
@zonavar68
Basically, if the DNA has XY sex chromosomes the person is male, if XX the person is female.

What if the person has XXX, XXY, or XO? What if different cells have different chromosome matches?
Also, how do you know what a person's chromosomes are? If someone looks like a woman, do you ask for proof that they have XX?

@zonavar68 Most people don't actually have their chromosomes checked by a doctor. So how do you know you have XY? When a woman on a dating site checks "woman," do you think she actually got her chromosomes checked?

The chromosome argument is legit the worst one. Nobody cares about chromosomes, like 90% of society doesn't actually know what their chromosomes are. If you were in a relationship with a woman who, years later, found out she doesn't have XX, you wouldn't care.

@BohemianBabe The XX vs XY is how the DNA is coded to make a person female or male, therefore a woman cannot by XY and a man cannot be XX.

This is why a trans person is a 'false premise' biologically as their DNA doesn't change despite having 'gender re-assignment'.
@zonavar68
a woman cannot by XY and a man cannot be XX.

Nope, there actually have been females with XY, and males with XX. These cases are rare, but they do happen.

HRT changes DNA. So while a person can change their gender and not their sex, they can also change both their gender and their sex.

@BohemianBabe making them artificial freaks. *flame suit is on* 8-)
@zonavar68 So you don't take any medicine? You'd never get surgery?
If someone gets a pacemaker, are they now an artificial freak?
I wear glasses, I guess I'm a freak. I mean, I am a freak, but not for this.
