Ugh, I mean just...UGH!!!

Slap me in the face with a shovel...

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

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

It's a syndrome not a gender.

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.

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.

An ugly joke?
You know I'm beautifully handsome..

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.

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.

100% BS.
Biologists absolutely define sex on a continuum or spectrum. Search around for some gender-bending examples. Start with banana slugs.
Turb-So what defines gender? Science usually views sex and gender as the same thing but society does not, sometimes. Is it chromosomal and hormonal like sex is determined in biology? Or is it genitalia? Because there are all sorts of mix and match going on there too. They are syndromes that are related to how we determine sex.
If you are looking for nice neat packages, this isn't the field.

Actually we are in agreement here. I'm simply pointing out that the left loves to use scientific evidence as an end to debate. Thus science finds that man contributes to Climate Change, therefore all debate is over. But when science doesn't agree with them, the debate is not over and we must consider alternative studies even when it doesn't agree with factual scientific evidence.

There is ALWAYS debate in science. There is nothing a scientist loves more than proving another scientist wrong.

Slug away, the topic is humans.

Any additional concurrent factor does not add a gender it changes the syndrome.
