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

Not wrong to anyone with brain cells

Science is racist

Biologically females have the xx chromosomes and males have xy chromosomes. There are a very few exceptions but pretty much everything else is just feelings.

tiny minority is right

Gender has nothing to do with sex. Anyone claiming there are more than 2 biological sexes is either an idiot or ignorant of biology. Gender, on the other hand, is a societal/cultural construct that has nothing at all to do with biology or plumbing or reproduction.

Almost every human being ever born had biological traits which defined their biological sex in one of two that actually exist. I am no expert but there are stories of babies being born with biological traits of both biological sexes so wouldn't be accurate to say ALL but the vast majority is correct.

That is completely separate from Gender, however. Gender is based on societal and cultural norms, behaviors or expectations. Gender is about one's perception of themselves as well as societies perception. Most children at some point experiment with gender. Tom boys are a well known thing that exists...thats why there is a term for it. Boys also usually do this and will pretend to be their mother by wearing her shoes, maybe smearing lipstick on themselves and anything that will stand for it, and playing with dolls and whatnot. The fact that there are "girl" toys and "boy" toys for kids and adults adhere to that construct when buying gifts for children indicate that we inutuitevly know that gender is a cultural construct with no correlation to biology. Clothes are the same. Most children eventually confirm to the gender identification that is considered "normal" by society without a second thought, and this is usually in line with their biological sex. This isn't always the case...in fact women, both biological and in terms of gender, have shifted their gender significantly in the last 100 years or so. It wasn't that long ago that an unmarried woman with no kids who worked for a living and wore pants was considered strange...by both men and women. Men have also undergone a significant shift in their gender roles....society would have been almost shocked to find a father in the 1950's who could change a diaper as well as his kids mother...anyone who has had a child since about 1990 knows this ain't the case anymore. Gender roles are fluid, regardless of what anyone would like to think otherwise. It is acceptable today, for example, for a man to stay home and take care of the house and kids while his wife earns a living. Most of us will make some snide comment about this but it wasn't that long ago that it was unheard of and almost impossible for a woman to pull off. It is very common today for a woman to be an integral part of a families income when it wasn't that long ago that this was something almost reserved exclusively for men.

The problem people seem to have today is the individual who does not identify their gender in the manner which society of culture dictates. They exist and always have. There is nothing inherently evil or insane about this...most of pick and choose what societal and cultural norms we adhere to. Many people are devoutly religious, some are not. It isn't a mental illness either way. A woman who wears clothing that most would see as male in nature, who works in a job that is dominated by men, drinks beer and in most ways identifies as man is not insane, that person is just different than what society would consider "normal". The same is true of a man who can communicate and has sense of style.

The danger, in my opinion, is 2 fold. First the obvious...pretending thar sex and gender are synonymous. The people who claim there are more than 2 sexes are just wrong but those who claim there are only 2 genders are equally wrong. Either forcing their world view on the other is also wrong. If a man in a dress disturbs you beyond mild irritation that is a personal issue on you, the same as it would be if that man was disturbed by a woman in a dress. We can not dictate how other people identify themselves...the people who claim more than two sexes want to do this and those who claim there are only 2 genders are equally wrong in their desire to dictate to others what may be 2 of the most initimate things an individal has, their biological sex and their gender identity.

Who upvoted this shite, the frick is up with this site now.

Your made out victims are the ones trying to force their twisted worldview and dictate to everyone else, up to cancelling you if you dare to disagree.

And that's not even touching the very obvious concerted effort to expose and push this onto children.
