It seems so easy to me...

Your "SEX" refers to your biological reality sans surgical intervention

Your "GENDER" is how you identify your sexuality emotionally/mentally

In day-to-day life, GENDER should determine how you live and how you're viewed by society.

I know that's too easy a solution and the argument will go on and on, but somehow it seems so simple if you de-emotionalize the situation.

It's not rocket science, the problem is explaining the concept to those who believe that having to wear a mask in public transportation is akin to the holocaust..

Gender is a social construct influenced by gender norms and societal rules and also it is ones expressed identity.

I find the concept to be easy and to all the conservatives complaining about pronouns: everyone has pronouns 😌

I see one's biology, not one's "feeling". Plus, mental/emotional states fail the test of time which deemed them to be unreliable.

@SoulKey do you take a look at the karyotype of every person you come across?
The people who mention the word "biology" the most are also the ones who know nothing about it.
Take a look at what actual scientists have to say about sex and gender and then talk about biology.
One simple search of the word "gender" in pubmed, for example, and here are the results: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/?term=Gender
Biology will never excuse you being transphobic.

@HannibalAteMeOut Nope, I stick by what I said -- I'll treat you as how you present yourself. The biological question is totally separate from interactions in public/society and probably only relevant in questions of reproduction and medical need.
