Some people have both parts down there.

That's how babies are made.

So I’m honestly not sure what he means by that, because technically it is correct to say there are more than two possible genders.

There are not more than two "genders". The abnormalities of hermaphrodites does not constitute another gender... and neither do hormone levels. The entire argument before us is whether or not it is healthy (psychologically) to agree with confused states of sexuality... in order to help those that are suffering from it. That jury is still out. It is the only argument in question.

Is it acceptable to agree with a Liberty University student that the Earth is under 10,000 years old... so that they feel "adjusted and accepted"? No, science does not compromise itself to make people feel better.

Just for clarification:

Science supports man caused climate change period. No debate needed.

Science supports only two genders exist in Humans. " I'm not sure because a person can have both."



And there you have it.

That really sounds good, 4U. Having said "Ideally..." to open every sentence (and close the post) is akin to starting a sentence with "To tell the truth..."... and we all know to be skeptical of what usually follows.

Do I believe U.S. colleges and universities believe this is what they do... or attempt to do? Yes. But what they actually do is separate young minds from the traditional packs they were exposed to... and guide them toward packs that academia believes societal packs belong.

That said... I have not witnessed the benefits of this process called "critical thinking". I've seen less and less of an ability in young graduates to think critically. In fact, for you to state that part of the institutional education process is to remove denigrating others, I see quite the opposite. Polarization and divisiveness are at an all time high. And it appears the incubator is the public education system. The adults in that system are responsible. You could couple that with the collapse in American family culture... but due to the fact when those facts are explored openly... academia denies it... so that ultimately makes them responsible for the entire failed status.

J1M--Of course we all have to own the polarization of our country. I don't think universities are any more to blame than anyone else, however.

Maybe some of you are confusing gender with sex. If a person has the genotype XXY or XYY, they will also have hormone imbalances that affect sexual development. My question was is this person male or female? What about a person with 46-xx? A female genotype but male genitalia? Usually raised in a male gender role.
Many biologist tend to think of sex as a continuum rather than a binary system.
I realize that for some, not having the world in nice neat packages is disturbing but that doesn't make it less true.
HOU--I'll put it on my list. Thanks

If these were conditions in other animals, we would not be redefining the genders. We would be referring to every condition... whether hormonal, sex organ development, or other... as an abnormality. These biologists you're referring to are doing us all a disservice. It isn't about "nice neat little packages"... it is being honest about the science. We deep dive on scientific subjects all of the time... and do not compromise regardless of the complexity. These biologists are the ones oversimplifying the subject. The term "continuum" is bogus in terms of gender. It is a feel good term to mask the physical and psychological complexities involved. Post modernism simply lacks the sack to call anyone "abnormal". It's misapplied dogoodary... and it will absolutely come back to bite us all in the back side.

I'm sorry MAT... but it appears someone else beat me to it.

It's a syndrome not a gender.

Sorry T... many scientists support man made climate change (as do I... some of us just differ on the size of the impact... the natural system's ability to adapt... and/or man's ability to balance the effects).

Science supports science... not scientists. Scientists are just humans that you hope are competent and honest in their pursuit of knowledge.

I saw the opportunity and took it. But in all seriousness... you are a beautifully handsome man. If I weren't so damn straight... well... you know the rest.
