Veeky Forums, do you believe sex/gender is
>fixed? (i.e. can't change during life)
>biological? (i.e. not social/constructed)
>binary? (i.e. not fuzzy/multi-valued/a spectrum)
keep in mind that while these are often treated as one, they are different and may vary independently

They are words that are only and exclusively useful when binary.
Nobody ought to give a shit what you "identify as". What matters is who can fertilize, and who can get fertilized.
The SRY gene is a social construct you fascist
Sex is a biological thing. It can change, theoretically, but odds are it doesn't for any one individual.
Gender is a social construct, it can change, it can be non-binary and while it is influenced by choice, it isn't wholly under the control of the individual.
That said, nobody ought to care about anyone else's gender, or rub their own gender in anyone's face. It's a non-issue and in most cases is simply used as a way to harvest attention from others.
Our society accepts cis gendered people and it should not have to be tolerant to any other form of gender identification. Once the flood gates open...
Sex is biological, binary.
Gender is a social construct, on a spectrum. Anyone who disagrees with this is probably still in their edgy """anti-SJW""" stage, and will mature to accept this eventually. However, I do agree that some people abuse this spectrum and try to get the most off-the-wall identification just so they can think they're special.
Agree entirely with this.
What's the issue with being tolerant towards what someone wants to call themselves. Is it really that big of a deal if they're not causing issues?
So go fuck a transman, since they can get fertilized.
the problem is that you're telling us we're required to call you a nonbinary genderkin wolf, if that's how you choose to identify yourself.
I can't, nor will I ever attempt to, control what you choose to call yourself. On the flip side, you can't (or otherwise shouldn't), attempt to control what I call you.
We can call each other fucking faggots for all we care, but neither of us can honestly tell the other to not call us a fucking faggot.
That just makes me want to call you a fucking faggot some more
The simple fact that there is a debate about this that cannot be settled empirically proves gender is not binary and to some extent socially constructed. Many forms of categorization are non-binary and constructed, like species.
First off, I don't think anyone should be "forced" or "required" to call anyone anything.. that's not the argument at all.
But, if someone came up to me and asked if I could call them fairykin, I would do so because it doesn't really matter, and I'm not an asshole. It's not like you're running into these people on a daily basis, and it'll make the dude feel better about himself.
Call someone what you want, I'm not forcing you. Just know that if you go out of your way to refuse something that simple that could make someone a little happier, I'll think you're just a dick. It's a matter of being a decent human being.
