Thanks, ScarletMaid. I'd like to underline your last sentence. Well said.

Unfortunately for me, I often read the argument of the biological sex as an excuse for not accepting the individual self-determination of your own gender. And when I look up the biological facts to the best current knowledge, they contradict what those people say.

I still doubt the meaningful application of the binary sex model down to an individuell level. It might be useful in biology or even other sciences as long as only majorities are concerned.
from this article as well as
When people refer to science as argument, maybe we should look up what the most recent science research tells us, not necessarily what it did decades ago.

Many thanks for pointing out. I adjusted #6. Hope it fits now.

I am open to discuss everything, and actually eager to. You seem to be in lack of some foundations though. Facts don't change but our knowledge, awareness, and mutual agreement on facts change. I don't know your opinion about creationism and evolution but Darwin was ignored, laughed at, and in worst case despised for his theory of natural evolution for years before it was accepted and became popular opinion. Same for the model of a flat Earth and the Earth as a sphere, circling around the Sun of our star system. My biology teacher still taught me that the Human brain does not create new brain cells during adulthood, and rightly so. Now for years we can know that the brain does produce new brain cells quite regular, and even roughly how much. But even many practicing doctors are not aware of that fact yet.
So in short, facts may be facts and no argue about them, but our awareness of what is currently known and scientifically proven versus what might not is very likely to differ. By the way, that's common practice until hundreds of experiments and gained knowledge is further applied in practice. No one argues that the laws of classical physics are not sufficient for guiding rockets in space, at least once you have to do it with millions of Euros at stake.

Your awareness of sex assignment and determination seems highly simplified when I see you comparing it to day and night. I am not sure you know your chromosomes but a significant number of men and women would wake up to the fact that their chromosome sex determination doesn't match their identification. And besides the facts, they might still live a very satisfying live with their current identification. Would you want to be forced to change your official gender if you found out?
In this blog entry I wrote down my opinion in more detail, if you like to get into details. I merely touched the topic of biological gender and am still doing more research to understand, but here's a Forbes article on that topic in case you dare to challenge your current opinion. You don't need to read it as facts but it might give you an interesting perspective. As you said yourself,

Besides, don't like to spoil your fun, but the fact with the sun, actually, that's just your perception. I suppose you do know how complicated the course of solar objects is in fact, as well as their forms, magnetic fields which give us directions like the East you mentioned. And that they change quite frequently indeed. Don't worry, because most often you get along just fine, but there are scenarios in your life knowing more about the details might give you the necessary edge to survive. Besides, that kind of adaptation is the way we survive and evolve as a species.

Oh no, it's really from a sexist fantasy of mine with three genders, not any less inhuman than our current world if not way worse.
Alphas are the most in numbers, three quarters of all born. They are only second tallest physically strongest on average. They suckle the babies. They have all the rights.
Betas are only born three out of sixteen. They are the physically tallest and strongest on average.
And gammas are only one of sixteen born. They are the physically weakest on average. They bear the children, after being impregnated by Beta semen mixing with their own, and later impregnated by an Alpha egg. They have nearly no rights.
As I said, very sexist. Should have mentioned a BDSM fantasy.

Got it now. I think.

Thanks for pointing out.

Is one per day per user better? Had it the other way around.

I agree. I will probably delete this blog entry in some days. On the other hand, I am very thankful for both your input and our little debate.

And I am still looking for a better example since this is roughly how I feel when being asked. Flavors of ice-cream doesn't work as well as bread/rice. It lacks the gene argument and hence can be put away as something different.

I hope the non-existence of race is proven and accepted by now though I doubt it. I guess it still has to go a long way until a majority picked up the news and there will always be some totally uneducated people thinking that backwards.

It looks to me that the same story for biological sex has only just started. Even supporters of gender identification and self-determination aren't as open for these news. I am not even sure how the current balance of scientific studies and articles in support and opposition to these statements is.

Thanks for the feedback, @Runesmith, and sorry for the confusion. I regret not having found a better example. I suppose milk-drinkers wouldn't have been any better. As you might read, I never referred to any race. In fact, even race is made up and isn't backed up by today's science in any way, see this article.

I mentioned genes since it is one of the common arguments in the discrimination topic which bothers me so much I wrote this blog entry.

You have every right to be disappointed but I am disappointed in you, too. You didn't dispute the non-sense about animals and plants I started with. I admit, it's the more subtle one but it's the same principle: labeling people by body-type or genes, in too few categories to suit them all, relating physical, mental, and emotional attributes, behaviors, or even colors and professions to them, forming social expectations. And to back it all up, call it natural and scientifically proven ignoring the details and new scientific research.

Have you any better example for me I could use to point that out?


@StrawDog: Now I am relieved somebody got the reference. Still looking for a better example.

Thank you very much for the encouragement. It's a process to find how to get along with the binary concepts. So often, it's either about anatomy or stereotypes.

Anyway, a little update, I now mention that I have cock and balls. I now find it weird that the men and women I encounter don't state what genitals they have. It's not a given!
So far, feels better for me. I am more sure right from the start that my partners don't assume something different in my department that I have stored.
