Comment on Denying the Human Sex Binary Turns Biology into Nonsense

  Until you are trying to produce offspring with them, or providing them with medical treatment, you have precisely zero interest in the sex of another person, let alone a scientific interest.

    You’re denying reality. That man didn’t care how the people he assaulted identified as. Men don’t care if the women they rape identify as men.

    To my way of thinking, rape is wrong regardless of what gamete the rapist produces.

    The reality is that you produce one of two gamete sizes, and that determines your biological sex.

    You defined “sex” on the basis of “gamete production”. So, my comment should be read as:

    Until you are trying to produce offspring with them, or providing them with medical treatment, you have precisely zero interest in the sex gamete production of another person, let alone a scientific interest.

      I didn’t define sex that way, the entire field of biology did. That’s literally the biological definition. You’re pushing unscientific nonsense if you claim otherwise

        You’re confloating scientific issues with social issues.

        The social factors are that a person claiming to be a man, wears masculine clothing, has masculine physical characteristics, such as a beard, large physical stature, deep voice, yet this person is trying to enter a female restroom.

        The science says this person produces the larger, “egg” gamete, and is therefore female.

        Your interests here are social, not scientific. That this man produces eggs is not a significant factor; this is a social issue, not a scientific one.
