You are mashing up your own argument:

"Birth defects of the fallopian tubes and ovaries are very rare, affecting less than one percent of female babies."

Taken from your post.

"To some people, the definition of being a woman may feel immutable and fixed, limited only to genetic makeup or the reproductive organs we have at birth. Others of us are reminded of our womanhood when we step out into the world each day and offer ourselves for judgment.

Later in the hearings, Cruz returned to the task of trying to get Jackson to define a woman. “I think you’re the only Supreme Court nominee in history who has been unable to answer the question,” he said — as if defining gender was part of some centuries-old Supreme Court application form.

The judge again declined to answer the question in biological terms. Instead, she answered truthfully: “I know that I am a woman,” she said. And any woman watching her would have known it, too."

i lost the plot on that post. I was supposed to say how the US media generally will bury news like that. for one it looks bad for democrat party's lgtbq special interest groups if the biden administration does nothing to ghana (which is/was probably the administration's plan) and it also makes kamala as us vice president personally look impotent when she was directly trying to project power.

better for them to just hide it
the headline "Ghana’s president softens country’s stance on draconian anti-LGBTQ bill as Kamala Harris visits" doesn't reflect the reality at all currently but it is serving its purpose

*cough yea sure independent media, sure, gotcha, that how the world works, totally independent mass media *cough

nah, rovin lemme explain.

we alphabet allies separate the biological sex from the social role. so you could be a male but not a man for example.

if you dressing and acting like a woman then you are not a man. maybe a male, yes, true, but not a man

=> jowelle is a woman

The problem with the losers here who always quoting science to back up their bigotry and idiocy, are the ones who least understand the complicated evolution of the understanding of genetic science and how to apply context to new published discoveries that is making us realize that there is much, much more to what we observe in the real world, rather than just applying plain old bigotry. Just like the other day with a particularly stupidly lame post about evolution my mother didn't come from no rat.

I bet these particularly special people never ever knew something like the SRY gene existed which expresses the TDF protein, or that scientists recently discovered that the Y chromosome in humans is shrinking and becoming redundant. It's almost as if genetics are so incredibly complex that new understanding is being made each year in research and scientist attempt to match hypotheses on the role of "sex chromosome" in humans to what is actually observed in the real world right now regarding human sexuality. If only the answer was just as simple as XX and XY like fruit flies. To hell with all the real world observations, lets just play bigot nazis because we have certain feelings about certain people.


And this is why you cannot have genuine discussion with a group of people here. They're just too committed to the bit.

Come nah man maj.tom:

Y chromosome is not doomed to shrivel away to nothing, say researchers

Reports of the coming death of the male sex chromosome are greatly exaggerated, say scientists, whose work will raise a collective cheer from at least half the population.

The fate of the Y chromosome, which carries the genetic switch that sends a developing embryo down the route to maleness, has been questioned since scientists first discovered that it had lost more than 90% of its genes over millions of years of evolution.

Y chromosome evolution: emerging insights into processes of Y chromosome degeneration

Doris Bachtrog

Abstract
The human Y chromosome is intriguing not only because it harbours the master-switch gene determining gender but also because of its unusual evolutionary trajectory.

Previously an autosome, Y chromosome evolution has been characterized by massive gene decay. Recent whole-genome and transcriptome analyses of Y chromosomes in humans and other primates, in Drosophila species as well as in plants have shed light on the current gene content of the Y, its origins and its long-term fate.

Comparative analysis of young and old Y chromosomes have given further insights into the evolutionary and molecular forces triggering Y degeneration and its evolutionary destiny.

This normalisation of mad people started years ago when "scientists" decided to use new names to get away from calling people "mad".

For example, Demon possession became known as "multiple personality disorder". This meant a person could switch personalities at will and become anyone they wanted to.

Today, psychiatrists try to validate the madness in the mad people.

butttt...sooo....you are saying.....it's really demon possession......okkkkkk. *faceplam* this is the intellectual level of this Trinituner "discussion."

Guys is being left handed a mental illness? Some people I know may need to be psychiatrically medicated.

I can't say if demon posession is real or not but if you take psychology at face value then Moses, Jesus, Prophet Muhammad and Joan of arc were all schizopherenic. I prefer to take the middle ground.
