Gender is mutable. Sex is determined by genetics, though in a handful of creatures, sex could be considered mutable.

- margalabargala 5mo agoYou're right, but there was an article on here in the last week about genetic therapy correcting Down Syndrome. I wonder how long before sex does actually become mutable.
- hackable_sand 5mo agoYou can change sex And people can be born intersex Your data is wrong
- Saline9515 5mo agoThe fact that some people can be born with 6 fingers doesn't mean that saying "a human hand has 5 fingers" is generally false.
- duskdozer 5mo agoIt also means you can't use the generalization "a human hand has 5 fingers" to then say that "therefore because your hands have 6 fingers, you are not a human"
- Saline9515 5mo agoI the sense of what OP did say, it would be more "grafting a sixth finger doesn't mean that you are not human anymore". Just like taking meat from your arm to create new genitals doesn't make you a man, biologically (psychologically it may be different).
