    Yes. Biological sex is observed, and then written on the birth certificate. Or in other words, “assigned”.

    It can’t be observed and assigned at the same time. No one is assigned a sex. Even if a doctor doesn’t write it on a birth certificate you’re still the sex that matches your chromosomes. The terms “AMAB” and “AFAB” were literally made to deny that biological sex exists lol. They literally mean “the doctor chose that I am a male or a female despite what I actually am” rather than “the doctor observed that I am a male/female”.

    Well, sorry if my using the terms accurately offends you, snowflake.

    Aww now you’re getting upset and reverting to name calling lol. Definitely shows that you’re winning the argument.

    Also lol like clockwork with the intersex argument. Intersex people are a literal genetic deformity. They make up an insanely low fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percentage of the population.

      So, your big argument against the existence of trans people is semantics? Really? I’m telling you what assigned means when people say “assigned male/female at birth”. I didn’t make up the term. It’s one that is in common parlance. You’re so smugly wrapped up in nits to pick that you’re missing the forest for the trees.

      The terms “AMAB” and “AFAB” were literally made to deny that biological sex exists lol

      No. Incorrect. And stupid, and crazy. Nobody is denying that biological sex exists. I have no idea why you insist on pretending that they are.

      Seriously, are you so insecure that you have to make up things to feel persecuted about? How pathetic are you?

      They literally mean “the doctor chose that I am a male or a female despite what I actually am”

      Again, biological sex and gender are two completely different things. Most of the time, they’re related, but not always. Which is why someone with XY chromosomes and a penis who is assigned male at birth can have the gender identity of female. It happens. Denying that is denying reality. Of course, you seem to want to choose to invent some fantasy world and then get offended when reality doesn’t match it, so I’m not sure why I’m even taking the time of day to explain this shit to you. It’s not even going to make it through your thick skull.

      Aww now you’re getting upset and reverting to name calling lol. Definitely shows that you’re winning the argument.

      If describing you accurately is “name calling”, then yes. I’m name calling. You’re a snowflake. A stupid, crazy, immature snowflake. You can choose to not be one any time you’d like, but you seem to enjoy being one, so I’m not sure why you’d act all surprised when people call you out for it. Probably ties back to that whole persecution complex you’ve got. Poor little innocent victim. Aww.

      Also lol like clockwork with the intersex argument. Intersex people are a literal genetic deformity. They make up an insanely low fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percentage of the population.

      Did I ever claim that they weren’t? Why is it that you’re ok with the idea that some intersex people exist while denying that some trans people exist? Is it because you can’t see the differences with your eyes? Are you really so stupid that you believe that if you can’t see it, it doesn’t exist? Do you also believe that dyslexia doesn’t exist?

      The point is, we are insanely complicated organisms. Within the human spectrum exist vast amounts of variation. Some people are born intersex. Some people are born trans. Some people are born straight. Your stubborn refusal to see that says way more about you than it does about humanity.

        Oh. My. God. You literally aren’t reading a word I’m saying. Again with you guys it all comes back to “you’re denying our existence!!” when literally no one is denying your existence. Saying “you’re a male” when you identify as a woman isn’t “denying your existence”. Saying “Assigned Male At Birth” is, however, denying scientific and biological reality.

        I’m telling you what assigned means when people say “assigned male/female at birth”.

        I’m sure you don’t even see how dumb this argument you just made is. “I’m telling you what it means, therefor that’s what it means even if what I’m telling you is wrong” lol.

        Nobody is denying that biological sex exists.

        Apart from all those who are.

        Again, biological sex and gender are two completely different things.

        Debatable still. The current use of gender is as a feeling, whereas previously it was intrinsically 1:1 linked to sex. This is what people are talking about when they say “gender ideology” and how they disagree with it. You think gender is simply a feeling. I don’t.

        Of course, you seem to want to choose to invent some fantasy world and then get offended when reality doesn’t match it

        Oh lord, the irony is too good here.

        If describing you accurately is “name calling”, then yes. I’m name calling. You’re a snowflake. A stupid, crazy, immature snowflake.

        Yeah we’re done here. You’re clearly not of the right mental capacity or frame of mind to have a logical discussion. Shocking.

          You literally aren’t reading a word I’m saying.

          I’ve read everything you wrote. It’s all profoundly stupid. You’re trying to pretend that the phrase “assigned male at birth” means something it doesn’t mean. You can look it up yourself, you know; you don’t have to take my word for it. We live in an age of extreme information availability. So it’s frustrating for me when you ignore all available evidence and cling to your stupid fantasy.

          Again with you guys it all comes back to “you’re denying our existence!!” when literally no one is denying your existence.

          2 things: I’m not trans. Also, this entire comment chain started by you pretending that people were being banned because they pointed out that biological sex exists. When I pointed out that that was stupid and crazy and incongruous with reality, you doubled down. So how else am I to interpret your stance other than you love sticking your fingers in your ears, sticking your tongue out, saying “LALALA”, and pretending that gender identity isn’t separate thing from biological sex?

          I’m sure you don’t even see how dumb this argument you just made is. “I’m telling you what it means, therefor that’s what it means even if what I’m telling you is wrong” lol.

          I wasn’t arguing with you in the same way that telling a schizophrenic that there are no demons around him isn’t arguing. It’s pointing out reality to a crazy person. If you’re too dumb to look it up yourself, or too ideologically blind to believe the evidence you find, then it’s not an argument. It’s simply a person with way too much patience trying desperately to get you acquainted with reality.

          Apart from all those who are.

          Ok. I’ll bite. I’m sure you’ll have no problem linking me to any mainstream arguments that biological sex doesn’t exist since you believe it to be so prevalent. I’m happy to read any evidence you provide.

          Debatable still. The current use of gender is as a feeling, whereas previously it was intrinsically 1:1 linked to sex. This is what people are talking about when they say “gender ideology” and how they disagree with it. You think gender is simply a feeling. I don’t.

          It’s not, though. Because on my side is practically the entire weight of the scientific community, and on your side is bigots and crackpots. Refer to my previous paragraph about why that’s not a debate.
