Sex Versus Gender

[ahunter3]

Marie, a transgender woman, does not like my distinction between sex and gender.

I identify as a person who has both a sex and a gender, the first of which ("male") I explain as my physiological or morphological physical structure and the second ("sissy" or "femme" or "girl") is who I am as a person, which isn't defined by my body or its parts

You should look to the book written by Alice Dreger, Hermaphrodites - the medical invention of sex.

Both intersex (and trans) people existed in many cultures. Both ancient Jewish, Roman and Greek culture accepted them.

In the Middle Ages, for intersex people, the question was more about being homosexual then not accepting their genitals.

The change only came with the Industrial Revolution. When the not typical had to be assigned to one of the box. And got worse in the 50s to now, when people try to cure by mutilaring your genital.

Such a great lot of Trans-bashing here! Dreger, of course is an unregenerate TERF and lacks all credibility.

Mr. A. Hunter, I can see some of your issues, once I was through all the mansplaining about women's issues and how women think and feel, especially women who are also trans. For a male person, I think you think you're very insightful on everything a woman thinks says feels does fucks. Let me ask you; since invert isn't in the LGBTQIA+ initialism, where DO you see yourself?

I consider gender invert to be a specific form of genderqueer. Genderqueer is an umbrella term. Insofar as my gender is not the one expected of a person of my sex, it's queer.

So -- as an apparently more mainstream transgender person, you authorize yourself to misgender me, or do you simply lack reading comprehension?
