    Sex classification is male and female. Sex classification based on spices is gender. Buck - doe, rooster - hen, stallion - mare, man - woman etc..

    Come up with a new term of you have a new subclass of depression or mental illness..

    Great, I bet men would love to see that trans in their locker room.
    But I'm not so sure women would love to have that male trans in their locker room.

    And I didn't pretend to understand, you didn't specify earlier which bath/locer room they must go to. You may have implied it by your answer.

    As stated: I don't think anyone wants to see the surgically butchered crazy person in their locker room, but people have to change somewhere and this is how the rule works.

    It was rather obvious, given the rules and the identities of the persons.

    You keep asserting this but what are you basing it on

    As to your demand that an entirely new word be invented so the perpetually disturbed feelings of the alt right are not offended — I don’t have that authority and it looks like that change has already happened.

    What rule?
    Can you post it?

    And trans people have been going into the bathrooms they have been surgically altered to since the dawn of split bathrooms.
    99.9% of the time, no one knows.

    My dude, you started replying to my posts and you've mentioned the rule in this very exchange. This is why I suggested you were being deliberately obtuse.


    BORN WITH A PENIS to the mens. BORN WITH A ***** to the womens. NB: This includes persons born with a horrific birth defect that equips them with outwardly functional and complete female genitalia despite possessing XY chromosomes, or the opposite in an XX.

    That's cool, we're definitely talking about locker rooms which means stripping naked and I gotta tell you dude if you can't spot a radical surgical candidate standing in the nude IDK how to help you navigate this conundrum.

    Edit to add: Before anyone starts: "DUDE" is a gender neutral term and "my dude" indicates a term of endearment.

    I've never made a habit of staring at other's privates in public places.

    And if either of the 2 trans, of the pics I posted, ever went into their born sex organs, all sorts of red flags would go up and likely security or law enforcement would be called in.
    If they went into the genetically altered trans bathroom. NO ONE would ever be the wiser. And I guarantee, they go into their trans body bathrooms.

    You don't have to stare to notice their sex. Unless you're wandering around the locker room with your eyes closed, you're going to see some ****. Pretending otherwise is so childish.

    No, they would not because either of them can simply explain. One can simply show their double mastectomy and a casual inspection of the 'genitalia' they've had surgically created will bear out they ain't what they would superficially seem.

    its based on reality..

    Yes I'm demanding a new word be used and it has nothing to do with feelings and everything to do with its idiotic not to create a new word for something new.

    For us to communicate words have to have meaning, I can say something and you know exactly what I'm talking about. For example if I said we are going to some work function and I will pick you up in my car. You understand what that means.. If I show up with a bicycle with a wheelbarrow duct taped to it. You would probably ask where the hell my car is.. If I told you that this is my car you would probably think I'm nuts. I guess I could explain to you that the word car is based on the feelings of the object and what it identifies as. I would hope you would slowly walk away..

    "Car" has meaning, If I create something new like the "barrowbike" then I dont get to demand the definition of what a car is be changed to mean whatever I want it to be..

    No he didn't. Challenge still stands. BTW, you feel free to redefine whatever words make you feel all warm and fuzzy. I don't have to accept it though.

    You are asserting a specific taxonomy usage of the word “gender” — I am simply asking for a source. Your “reality” isn’t a source.

    I bet you will be really upset to see that words like awful haven’t always meant really bad and instead meant awe-inspiring.

    Words change — If you don’t like it then I don’t know what to tell you

    We define words based common use and on definitions which is what dictionaries track (they don’t invent words).

    The example is silly — which once meant blessed with worthiness — but no longer does. If you “create” the new word barrowike and that becomes the common use to describe a car and then someone comes running along refusing to use that word because we already have a word for car and acting like they cannot comprehend the new usage — well, that would just be silly.

    Gender no longer means sex, refusing to acknowledge this because it upsets you when it has been accepted by both the medical community as well in general use isn’t going to change that.

    You can accept it or not

    Sure he did and You certainly do not have to accept it. No one can make you accept the medical understanding or definition of any word. You can call a table a zebra for all I care.

    I don't think you have a good handle on how the vast majority of men feel about mentally-ill-men-that-castrated-themselves. The word "repulsive" barely begins to scratch the surface.

    Sounds like someone should explain this to the snowflake students. From the OP:

    It would take a fraction of a second to google it but ok here you go..

    https://wdfw.wa.gov/sites/default/files/publications/01307/wdfw01307.pdf

    "Accurate classification of an animal’s gender and age is fundamental to wildlife research and management (Leopold 1933). Gender and age information is often used to establish harvest regulations and strategies, monitor a population’s demographic structure, health, and viability, and provide an understanding of behavioral ecology."

    https://termcoord.eu/2018/02/male-and-female-animal-names/

    "However, sometimes we need a way of differentiating even further in order to indicate whether we are talking about a male from the species or a female. For this reason, you will find that for most animals separate terms are used to signify the gender of the creature in question."

    And here are a few just for the gender of chickens..

    https://the-chicken-chick.com/how-to-sex-chickens-male-or-female-hen/

    https://www.euro-poultry.com/blog/what-is-the-difference-between-a-hen-and-a-chicken

    "And just as humans are divided into male and female and children and adults, chickens are likewise.

    In this context, a man equals a “rooster” and a woman equals a “hen”. Both are generally chickens, but the names indicate their gender and that they are adults.

    But what about the chicken terms for boys and girls? Here, we must get help from the English dictionary. This states that a young male chicken is called a cockerel, while the name for a young female chicken is a pullet."

    If words change organically then no problem.. if its forced by some nut job, pedo sympathizer, who did sexual experiments on children.. and it also ruins the meaning of legal terms.. and also ruins the classification of 1000s of animals.. yeah no thanks.

    Yes my example is silly.. the fact that you cant connect the dots here is just as silly..

    Yes we define words on common use. the fact that there is push back means its not common use. and frankly stupid.. your taking a word that has meaning.. like woman based on the real definition of gender.. and making it meaningless if woman can mean anything.. thats just idiotic

    How can you fight for women's rights when you're also fighting for the word woman to mean anything? again its idiotic

    A scientific resource from almost 100 years ago and a non-scientific one…

    The third is not a taxonomy classification.

    There is a difference between using the words interchangeably and using them as synonyms.

    I don’t see how you believe one person “forced” anyone to use gender to describe the social construct of identity. Psychology has been the big field pushing it as there is an emphasis for understanding and defining the social constructs of masculine and feminine in recent years.

    So because there is a very small percent of the population that takes offense to a word you believe no changes can ever be made?

    Silly — it’s already happened

    That doesn’t make sense in terms of equality and rights.

    If you think rights are based on individuals having multiple words that identify them instead of them having autonomy over their own body, equal access to housing and education or being at risk for rape and assault by a group demanding they don’t need any autonomy then I think we will just have to part ways on that topic.

    Wow, you must be an expert at others genital area?
    Do you have pics showing what you mean?

    I don't pretend, but I'm guessing that's exactly what you're doing here.

    Let's assume the person in the pic I posted never said a word about sex/gender and just went into the men's locker room to change. Because you and some others state she has to.

    the article was published in 2005, yes it references other scientific literature on animal gender that goes back 100 years.. but that helps my position.. it literally makes my point.

    and the other things I posted where just a few more articles that show the actual gender names of the animals.

    Nobody is taking offense to the word gender, or the word woman stop with the strawman bs. We just dont agree with following the new definition from your pedophile loving sexologist who came up with the new definition while committing sexual experiments on children.. we think its dumb..

    How can you fight for womens rights when you cant define what a woman is? How can you fight for "equal pay" for woman when you dont even know who identifies as a woman? By destroying the definition of woman and making it mean whatever the individual believes it is. you have made the word meaningless.

    Whats the next word that the left is going to try and redefine? my money is on the word minor..

    And you have that freedom to think it’s dumb. Unfortunately the medical and psychological community have taken it as a term that allows further understanding. The dictionary has followed suit.

    Because I seek equality and equality only. Just because I can understand nuance doesn’t mean I cannot see inequality when it exists.

    Strange then how it is typically right wingers and their organizations that keep getting caught up in the pedophile scandals. Not to mention them attempting to either lower age of convent laws or keep them arbitrarily low.

    Ah yes, let’s discard two generations because they are are able to comprehend nuance and realize that not everything is black an white while the older generations hold on to conspiracy and failed policy that has seen us plummet in world rankings from everything to healthcare to life expectancy.

    We should definitely throw something away but it isn’t the youth.
