re: Famed atheist and biologist calls the idea of more than two genders “utter nonsense”

Wrong

quote:

---

Gender is assigned at birth but it is not due to chromosomes. Many babies are assigned a gender based on physical traits at birth that are later found to have been mistakenly identified. Biology is a fact, gender is an opinion

---

Sex/gender is learned at birth or at ultrasounds before. They aren’t assigned unless you consider all words in every language assigned.

Claiming that many babies are intersex at birth is misleading. You are talking about .02%s to slightly higher based on estimates.

It’s also classified as a disorder. Doctors did made a mistakes in declaring a sex when physical traits at birth were ambiguous especially before dna and other non-intrusive testing like ultrasound, but more has been learned just like any disorder. It’s doesn’t prove your gender definition. If anything it proves biology wins out when doctors screwed these up in past.
