Do you think sex and gender are the same thing?
- rdevilla 6mo agoI am not sure, since this article uses sex and gender in senses that are entirely inverse to the common ones in 2026. How do you define those terms? In particular, the 2026 senses are that sex is an immutable biological characteristic based on karyotype and gametes; gender is a social construct, and this is why it can be "transitioned." The cited article nonetheless uses the archaic terminology "transsexual" to refer to what we today know as "transgender." Now you see the linguistic ambiguity we are mired in? Can you clarify?
