If you need special care or attention that is a malformation. If there is a change in your physionomy that impedes you to have a life as normal as other human (you were born without a hand) that’s a malformation.

This doesn't apply to many of the intersex conditions we talked about. They can present in a way where people don't even notice they have them.

I was actually arguing that you can’t change your genome, so yeah, sex. But by HRT you still don’t change that, you just try to mimic traits oposite of yours.

We've already established that genome doesn't exclusively determine sex. An XX male could live their entire life as a man and never even know that they have XX and not XY chromosomes.

Of course language can be influenced, but usually when it is, it’s for ease of understanding, and generally making people lives better. By changing the language just for some people to be triggered because they were “misgendered” you don’t bring any value

It brings value to the people who are affected. And we do this sort of thing a lot. Just like almost nobody says the n-word any more because we've collectively decided that it's inappropriate.

Honestly it feels like you're doing all these mental gymnastics just so you can have a justification for being rude to trans people. Is that really how you want to spend your energy?

And again, those are conditions, not something you choose to be, you are simply born like that.

I was pointing out how XX doesn't always mean female and XY doesn't always mean male. I didn't say you could change your chromosomes. I think you might be misunderstanding the OP. When it says 'some XX people become cis men' it means that embryos with XX chromosomes develop into cis men, not that they decide to be later in life.

Well than, waht is someone with Chappel syndrome?

Usually a man.

Oh yes, it’s also the malformations that you were born with

How do you differentiate between "normal" and a malformation? These are just arbitrary categories we made up. The reality is that we can observe that some humans just are like that and that's fine and normal.

oh so you need drugs to mimic traits from the opposite sex (there are only two after all) and gender is given by your sex.

You're moving the goalposts. You were arguing that you can't change sex and now you're retreating to 'you need drugs to change sex', which is true for HRT, but not necessarily for gynecomastia.

It's also not "mimicking" traits. Someone with gynecomastia or someone who takes feminising HRT grows the same kind of breasts as a cis woman.

Yes, language is not “made up” it evolved and will evolve naturally, demanding language to change to cater to you is not natural.

Even if this was true it would just be an appeal to nature. Natural doesn't mean good and unnatural doesn't mean bad.

But I don't think you can differentiate between 'natural' and 'unnatural' changes to language. Do you think language just evolves on its own without any human interference? Language is by definition something we do.

XY it’s man, XX it’s woman, nothing will ever change that…

I think it's really funny you left out the exact intersex conditions that disprove your point, Swyer syndrome and de la Chapelle syndrome.

You are either a man, a woman, or you have a syndrome

So someone with de la Chapelle syndrome is neither a man nor a woman but has a syndrome? 'Man' and 'woman' are social categories and syndrome is not, so this makes no sense. Also I doubt you'd be able to spot the 'syndrome' in a group of men.

It’s a delusion to believe that you can change your biological sex during your lifetime.

This is a strawman I see repeated a lot. I've never seen trans advocates claim this, only opponents. Even then I would still argue that it is true to some extent. Sex is not just chromosomes (as proven by the two conditions I linked above). It's made up of many different characteristics and you can change some of them, e.g. with hormone replacement therapy, which changes some secondary sex characteristics. Or even just gynecomastia does it too.

For people who are interested in what the actual science says about this topic I recommend Forrest Valkai's new Sex and Sensibility video (warning, it's long).

Edit:

And no, you won’t change speech, you are a man and a he, a woman and a she. That’s it, you can get as angry as you want, nothing will ever change that.

Language is completely made up and changes all the time. But you're claiming it will never change again?

Can we have JXL please

I enjoyed looking at this cat, thanks.

They aren’t stranded, and there is no need to come back any sooner than is scheduled.

But then Trump couldn't make himself look like their saviour, which is all he cares about.

I don’t think they’re ignorant, they’d just rather support the fascists than the progressives.

Balatro is the objectively correct choice.

I also gave up after reading AFFC about a decade ago, with the intention of picking the series back up once the next book had released.

But at this point he’d have to finish the entire series before I’d even consider going back. And I doubt he’ll ever do that. I think eventually they’ll just get someone else to finish it.

I don’t think people are saying you shouldn’t protest the genocide. You should! But it’s stupid to not vote for Harris over it because letting Trump win doesn’t just throw women, LGBTQ people, etc. under the bus, it also makes the genocide of Palestinians even worse.

The Steam Deck is just a Linux PC, you can absolutely mod games on it!

I’m playing modded Slay the Spire a lot on mine.

It's also ridiculous that they suggest that people are influenced by social pressure or even marketing to become trans. Not only does this not happen, if it did happen it would not work. Conversion therapy does not work. You can't make people trans just like you can't make people cis. If people who are actually cis transition they get gender dysphoria and become miserable.

This is just conservative fearmongering with no basis in reality.
