If you decide to talk about gender online, you’re going to run into a lot of bad arguments.
(so here are some responses)
Biological Sex and the Sciences
“Intersex people prove that sex is a spectrum, not a binary.”
“Scans show that transgender people’s brains match the sex they identify with.”
Gender and Society
“You’re just obsessed with people’s genitals!”
“If you say you believe in the gender binary, then you’re agreeing with conservatives.”
“Sex-based definitions of ‘man’ and ‘woman’ reduce people to their genitals or reproductive organs.”
“Human rights aren’t up for debate!”
Language and Law
“Gender-neutral pronouns are no big deal – people have been using the singular they for centuries.”
“You can’t assume that every trans person is dangerous based on the actions of a few.”
