* Biologically, sex is sexual intercourse between individuals of opposite sex. Neither sodomy, cunnilingus, fellatio, nor masturbation are sex. They are the words I just used. Sex is a highly specific word that is innately joined (pun intended) to reproduction, as in sexual reproduction, a very specific kind of species propagation.
Gender refers to specific nouns associated with one of two sexes.
Just because sophists indulged in Newspeak by bending English word definitions into unrecognizable pretzels does not mean they can change the actual reality for which words are but abstract representations.
The first step to understanding is calling things by their right names.
As far as transsexuals go, the entire edifice supporting so-called transgenderism is predicated on supporting people whose mental map is so skewed from biological reality that the discussion goes off the deep end, claiming that a man with male sex chromosomes and male sex organs can FEEL enough like a woman to justify having his genitals removed, silicone bags placed under the skin of his chest and injecting synthetic female hormones (the ones we know cause all sorts of serious, often fatal side effects in women, like blood clots and strokes) “makes him a her.”
I keep hoping that the people who threaten me for calling a spade a spade will double-down and claim gravity is not an acceleration, thereby stepping off high cliffs in expectation of floating higher.
* Imagine a right wing door to door campaign to convince people that transexuals are deviants who should receive mental health treatment. The left would try to find some way to have them arrested.
