How can people that believe in more than two genders be taken seriously?

People can, in fact, choose their gender. In fact, they're doing it.

They aren't taken seriously by most people

Can anyone on here say with a straight face that a person can in fact choose their gender?

With gender defined as a social construct, yes.

Save the gender and sex are different argument because that's bs too.

Oh, well then have fun tilting at the strawmen you build, I guess?

How can anyone who believes in Mormonism be taken seriously?

So is age. Even though I am in my 40s, I now choose to be known as a 21 year old.

If you are transgender you are mentally ill and there is nothing else to be said. Don't expect me to help you become more mental ill by continuing this charade.

Please define "age" in such a way as this makes sense

Age is a social construct LINK

Yeah, for the roughly 400 diagnosed cases of true hermaphroditism.

For the rest, it’s quite simple. Dick or pussy.

Gender and sex are different, though. The problem is that the word "gender" was never intended to be used as a descriptor of human sex organs. It was mostly a word used in linguistic contexts.

For instance, the Spanish word "El Toro" (the bull) is masculine. That is to say, "el" is a GENDER masculine article. Likewise, "la casa" (the house) is feminine. El = masculine. La = feminine.

In English we don't have gender specific articles. We use "the" for everything. But many languages do the same thing as Spanish. For instance in German it's "der" for masculine and "die" for feminine.

That's the context "gender" was usually used prior to the SJW revolution. Like many other words, they have subverted it for their own purposes. That's why I refuse to use the word. If someone asks me my "gender" I am going to correct the dumb fricker and say "you mean my sex?"

You’ll be fine if you correctly guess the silly, made-up pronoun preferences of people you’ve never met, or you don’t accidentally call a woman-pretender “ma’am” People are losing their jobs and being harassed over this nonsense.
