I just gave you a concrete example showing you you are incorrect in believing biological sex non-existence is a monolithic opinion.
I gave you the link.
And your answer is “I’m not, YOU are!” instead of engaging with the info provided?
That’s a disappointing response.

Again, you’re in echo chamber territory, and/or you don’t understand “the way I think it does”. Very first Google search pulls up a video by the Gender Equity Network, which defines biological sex. That was just the very first search.

Poor choice of state in my part. My apologies. Rural Alabama Chad maybe?

You’re right. I should be. I suppose I was under the delusion this place was better than X (where I constantly blocked people). I didn’t think I would have to operate that way here, but BlueSky and X feel more and more like flip sides of the same coin, so I suppose I should.

This is the problem. To assert that “biological sex doesn’t exist” is an undisputed fact when it is anything but is exactly the point.
As I said, beware the echo chamber.
Maybe on just this issue folks are so wildly insular, but I am more concerned than ever about the state of my party.

… here, if you’re not spewing dogma, you’re some uneducated chad from Iowa wandering around living the unexamined life. At least on X, the MAGAs are just openly a-holes. Here, the the conceit, smarm and group think is off the charts, under the guise of good faith engagement.
It’s cool…

Apart from the convo with you, which I appreciate and has been in good faith, X isn’t yet a hermetically sealed echo chamber. Sure, it seems like 75% of my TL are uneducated MAGA meme spewers (it’s still fun to insta-debunk them with Grok), but even in those convos, fellow Dems show up. Here, I’m…

I’ll be honest w you. I’ve been in this ap at this thread for roughy 4 hours, responding regularly.
What I see are many needy engagers, misquoting, making assumptions, and they smugly decide they’ve “won” if I’m responding to someone else.
It’s worse than X in some ways. Its very disappointing.

Christ- the ap is a lunatic echo chamber of pontificating blowhards. I said absolutely nothing of the sort.
I get why so many people are trying to engage with me on this thread now. It’s such an echo chamber, a non-canon opinion is like you guys spotting an alien.

I cannot. And I’m sorry, it must be terribly dehumanizing. We can only hope we get to a place quickly where people rightfully don’t care about that.

I personally fully accept people for who they are, including you. It doesn’t matter if you’re untransitioned, half transitioned, fully.

My thoughts are that taking this down to the subatomic issue level does not address the main point, which is that the left’s inability to produce a clear succinct intuitive answer to the question “what is a woman” makes us look unhinged to the average low-info voter. It’s an own goal.

This is a fascinating development. Was I blocked for the person to whom you’re responding by an automatic or moderated filter, or did they just manually block me themselves?

When I say right wingers say “gender doesn’t exist” they are saying with that “only biology exists”, so no matter how you identify or feel or express (gender) you are still your sex AAB. So yes, under their framing, no one can transition.
Sounds like you’re saying the mirror: only gender exists

I’m still not clear on your framing- it seems like you are using the terms interchangeably. You’re saying sex does not exist, only gender?
And if I’ve got that right, you’re defining gender as 100% self-ID?

That biological sex exists? Charles Darwin maybe? How it got into every biology and anatomy book in America is an empirical question that I’m sure is researchable. That ~half the critters on earth are organized to produce small gametes, the other half large gametes, has been observed for millennia.

You haven’t been on X lately, I’m guessing. I have a relative that I hear this from regularly, unfortunately.
