5·1 year agoDid you watch the video I put in my comment? It explains the different processes involved in sex differentiation.
Your argument has the same issues as many of the others of the same kind, it doesn’t reflect reality. You say there are biological differences, which we can accept, but, when a baby is born or when you see someone, those biological differences are assumed instead of being tested.
What I see is colloquial language and scientific language being equated.
-
Society divided sex into A and B, doctors forced and keep forcing everyone into those categories.
-
Science divides into A, B, C, D, E…, which are not easily perceived.
-
Society, instead of adapting or accepting its limitations, decides to choose a characteristic to be scientific, but they don’t test anything. They are just being prescriptive with their language.
In other words, you can’t tell the gender or sex of someone by just looking at them. One piece of anatomy is not enough, one specific chromosome is not enough, one specific gene is not enough.

It should have been the failures of not using polyamory. And you’re right about amatonormativity being the erasure of aro people, even ace in general I would argue.
The first one might involve amatonormativity as well. This and the failures of not using polyamory when all parts are completely in sync really bothers me. I’ll forever be thankful for having Joan and Sherlock from Elementary, even if they are borderline codependent.
I think this video will be a nice complement:
Chromossomes, genes and hormones have their roles. It’s never simple.AMAB and AFAB are really only what a doctor decided. I was sure Mia Mulder had a video talking about how sex is a social construct based on this fact, but I can’t find it anymore.
Just commenting because you were really specific there with the chromosomes. The ID wouldn’t help with that. Doctors mostly look at the baby and decide the sex without genetic testing. Mistakes in this case are only found out if something medical happens and they need to check.
You don’t need food in front of you to feel hungry. In this case, it’s a particular appetite that has conditions to be truly fulfilled. Maybe you have horny eyes.
