SSRIs are relatively cheap and many adolescent struggles are temporary. In contrast, wrong-sex hormones are“needed” forever and taking them will permanently mess up the endocrine system leading to exponential medicalization for life. All this gets even worse (i.e. more lucrative) with surgery.

JKR has never posted trans hate. She defends the hard won rights, privacy, and opportunities of women against the men who rather than just “trying to live” but are actively trying to take them. From women. You are supporting an illiberal, anti-women’s rights position.

You point out shoes aren’t biological (of course not, it’s an analogy), then use that same analogy to reason for something biologically impossible. I’m done.

Secondary sex characteristics are not the same sex.
How could they be? “Sex” applies to all sexually reproducing species, but secondary sex char. vary wildly across species. You’re pointing to 1) human characteristics and 2) disorders (as if someone born without a leg proved humans aren’t bipedal)

All sexual reproducing species require males and females for procreation. Males produce small gametes. Females produce large gametes. Two gametes. Two sexes. Binary. No more, no less.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding. Everyone with a DSD is either male or female.
I say left and right shoes are a binary, and you start listing all the rare characteristics of shoes: material, heel, color, etc. in an effort to show there isn’t left/right. Mere variation isn’t contradiction.

This is tedious. You’re clearly not in a mindset to learn, only project. May you be more curious in the future.

No. You have not shown a third sex, despite being given the parameters-discrete reproductive role—plainly and up front.
You’re just being smug while misunderstanding fundamental biology.

Science disagrees.
I’m order to disprove the binary you would have to demonstrate a third sex with a distinct role in reproduction. You cannot.

That’s my point. The argument only makes sense from one side. Showing how it doesn’t make sense from your side does nothing to contradict it from mine.

“Gender ideology” is simply a descriptive term used to differentiate between belief in inherent gender and the regular sex + species definition of “gender”. Only the latter is objective and material.

You don’t seem to be using those words coherently.
The sex binary is a material reality. It is objectively true and provable.
The concept of inherently gendered feelings is a metaphysical belief. It can neither be proven or disproven.

I’m an atheist. My aversion to dogma is one of the many reasons I cannot accept gender ideology. You are free to believe it. But everyone has a right to non-belief and where the beliefs of others conflict with material reality, it is not unkind or bigoted to say so. Evolution is real. Sex is binary.

Direct quotes proving all your assertions should be easy to come by, then.
To paraphrase Hitchens: Assertions made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

That’s not a slur. It’s not bullying to refuse to be bullied. And it’s not disrespectful to disbelieve someone else’s belief. That’s just liberal pluralism.
I also refuse to pretend any male is a kind of woman, and refuse the colonizing doublespeak. No one can identify into another’s demographic.
