theryre both stupid dipshits but this part seems reasonable?

It is conflating gender role and physical sex where I feel the transgender issue goes off track. A boy who plays with dolls should not feel like they are "really" a girl--they should instead feel it is perfectly okay for they, a boy, to play with dolls. Do you see what I mean?

Because the definition with an a. next to to it literally says so.. I said they are not distinct, and they really aren't--gender is sometimes used to refer to something besides physical sex, but in general usage both words have the same meaning and in fact most people conflate "gender" with "gender roles". How hard are you going to work to just avoid saying that you're wrong?

the definition of 1. isn't even anything to do with biological sex, it's a definition of a grammatical term you stupid stupid stupid bitch

a subclass within a grammatical class (as noun, pronoun, adjective, or verb) of a language

OPEN YOUR EYES AND READ


8-Bit Scholar posted:

I bring you the loving dictionary and you're claiming it's not saying what it says, and then you link the definitions and it says that they are the same thing. it links to the loving definition of sex. The two are conflated to be the same, because in common usage they are.

See, now I'm mad.

HUR IN COMMON USAGE moving the goalposts like a moron

half the people also think creationism is real so forgive me if 'common definition of a word' isn't a good enough reason to deny people's identity

No, just that there are different valid definitions. As in, more than one, less than infinite. Probably less than 10.

You're not even arguing it's not true. The dictionary literally says it. It. Literally. Says. It. In the post you quoted, multiple times, it's right there. You're just arguing for it's own sake.

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BIOLOGICAL GENDER/SEX AND THAT DEFINITION IS THE DEFINITION OF A GRAMMATICAL TERM how loving retarded can you get

it's like if something said 'female is the connector the male pins go into' and you think that's talking about humans

you know way this is happening? because you think you're right and you're so biased that you can't even read a sentence with an open mind without twisting it to support your own erroneous point. it's fuckin' sad. READ THAT poo poo AGAIN. it's not talking about biology.

Oh I get it now.

So transgender people still shouldn't be allowed to switch which bathroom they go to, because they switch their gender roles and not their sex!

I mean jesus look in 'How to write 101' for college everyone gives you the Manual of Style right it's a basic basic textbook from the Oxford University Press

even it

Chapter: Correct and Preferred Usage posted:

Sex refers to the biological characteristics of males and females. Gender includes more than sex and serves as a cultural indicator of a person’s personal and social identity. An important consideration when referring to sex is the level of specificity required: specify sex when it is relevant. Choose sex-neutral terms that avoid bias, suit the material under discussion, and do not intrude on the reader’s attention. See also , Age and Sex Referents. Note: Use man or men when referring to a specific man or group of men, woman or women when referring to a specific woman or a group

thinks you're wrong as gently caress and it's not a feminist text or anything it's just 'here's how to write an essay'

I knew this one kid who's last name was Tran years ago and I invited him to my pool party one time. I think I remember him being reluctant to take off his shoes and swim because he said his feet were super white and it was embarrassing, but I pointed out that everyone's feet are like that and then I think he swam. Maybe he didn't know how to swim? Idunno
