Gender is not whats between your legs otherwise people would suddenly switch genders after a sex change whether they wanted to or not.
Gender is not what gametes you produce otherwise children would be genderless
Gender is not what chromosomes you have otherwise about 3% of people the estimated undiagnosed intersex people would be very surprised to learn they are not the gender they thought they were
Sex is also not a binary: https://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/sa-visual/visualizing-sex-as-a-spectrum/

>Gender is not what gametes you produce otherwise children would be genderless
Maybe it's what gametes you can potentially produce?
Either way, I think "you are because you say you are" is too vacuous. - 🌱🏴🅰️🏳️⚧️🐧🔧 Ambiyelpambiguous_yelp@veganism.socialMar 6, 2026, 1:02 AM
@light We accept that argument in other areas: it would be obscene to ask someone to logically prove why they love someone. It is a private personal experience and can't be described in an objective manner

@light Asked in a respectful context and with genuine curiosity questions like "What is love" and "What is gender" are probably some of the most interesting ones you can ask. But just stating that you know what it is and that everyone that disagrees with you is mentally ill isnt the play

@ambiguous_yelp
I didn't say anyone was mentally ill. And it wouldn't matter anyway if I did because I don't think mentally ill people are inferior. I have mental issues myself.So, in your view, what is gender?

@ambiguous_yelp
I'd like to reiterate, my main aim with the original post was to take a stand against thought policing, not to denigrate people who have particular views on gender.I don't mind being proven wrong, what I mind is people using legal force against or socially stigmatising dissenting views.
Sorry if I offended you.

@light I'm not answering any questions like that until you tell me why you care so much to defend your definition of gender

- 🌱🏴🅰️🏳️⚧️🐧🔧 Ambiyelpambiguous_yelp@veganism.socialMar 6, 2026, 11:37 PM
@light And why do you care to defend this particular dissenting opinion, what is the underlying reason that this is a valuable opinion that deserves not to be socially reprimanded?
- Mar 11, 2026, 11:02 PM
@ambiguous_yelp
All opinions are legitimate until proven otherwise. This is a specific instance of the general principle of "innocent until proven guilty".
Do you have a reason why the view that sex is biological, gender isn't real, and "man" and "woman" refer to biological sex rather than self-identity is guilty and deserving of being socially and/or legally reprimanded? - 🌱🏴🅰️🏳️⚧️🐧🔧 Ambiyelpambiguous_yelp@veganism.socialMar 12, 2026, 1:14 PM
@light That isn't an answer, out of the field of infinite possible opinions you chose to spend your finite life defending this one and not the opinion that there is a teapot orbiting neptune
- Mar 12, 2026, 1:17 PM
@ambiguous_yelp No one is punishing people for saying there is a teapot orbiting neptune.

@light Do you not believe that there are words people can say that are harmful? Like "Someone should stab this person on the street" is an opinion and its illegal to say in most countries
- Mar 12, 2026, 1:36 PM
@ambiguous_yelp Yes, but biological facts are not that.
- 🌱🏴🅰️🏳️⚧️🐧🔧 Ambiyelpambiguous_yelp@veganism.socialMar 12, 2026, 1:42 PM
@light Why not why doesn't it cause harm to deny trans people their dignity
- Mar 12, 2026, 1:45 PM
@ambiguous_yelp Why do you feel your dignity depends on forcing people to speak of you as a woman?
What about their dignity? What about the dignity that comes with freedom of thought? - 🌱🏴🅰️🏳️⚧️🐧🔧 Ambiyelpambiguous_yelp@veganism.socialMar 12, 2026, 1:48 PM
@light Because woman is a social construct and this is quite easy for me to prove, so denying someone womanhood is not about facts, it is a social choice to be cruel and uninclusive
- Mar 12, 2026, 1:56 PM
@ambiguous_yelp 1) "woman" and "man" are only social constructs according to a particular, very modern, definition of "woman" and "man"
https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/11/21/the-categories-were-made-for-man-not-man-for-the-categories/
(the author is genderist like you, but he also shows my point that definitions and categories are arbitrary)
2) Even if you could somehow "prove" that your definitions were factually correct, that would be no excuse to force them on people. Bad ideas deserve arguments, not bullets. - Mar 12, 2026, 1:59 PM
@ambiguous_yelp Oh, and 3) it's not cruel. Just like saying to a person suffering from psychosis that their psychotic delusions are not true.
Just like anything, it can be done kindly or cruelly depending on your attitude. - 🌱🏴🅰️🏳️⚧️🐧🔧 Ambiyelpambiguous_yelp@veganism.socialMar 12, 2026, 2:00 PM
@light You have the burden of proof to show that gender is objective
- Mar 12, 2026, 2:05 PM
@ambiguous_yelp Honestly, I am open to the idea that it isn't. I have to say, all the violence being done and threatened to make people like me shut up isn't convincing me any though.
