Yeah that’s gonna be a real struggle for me. Thanks for the time, though.

It doesn’t offend me, i just find it difficult to understand everything. From what I read in the last couple hours they didn’t come from science but from activist and intersex communities and were adopted in some scientific fields, particularly medical and social field that interact with people. They don’t seem to be used widely or much in most of science, such as biology, zoology, genetics or ecology. Which just make shit even more confusing.
Anyways, thanks for the time, I’ll need to keep at it.


This is so confusing…and in this space it’s important to use non-colloquial terms? Maybe I’ll just have to block this space instead of getting so much hostility for using the wrong terms. There’s no info on that in the about info which would have been helpful.


Why didn’t we keep the old words for the old concepts and make new ones for the new concepts? Who is deciding all this? In another thread they said male and female aren’t used for reproductive systems differences anymore, are they right or are you?


Who decided all this? I’ve never heard anyone use Aman or afab at all. Do doctors and scientists confirm to this?


It is very confusing. It was not so confusing until the existing words were all changed to not mean what they did. Now nobody can even tell me if there are words for the concepts that the words once meant, even though the concepts still exist but now don’t have words. Almost like it’s an effort to erase the very concepts. Which wont work as long as ppl find meaning in those concepts and the distinctions they make.
Am I just crazy to consider groups of humans with the same reproductive organs to be meaningful things to have a words for?


Is male not an assigned birth sex based on reproductive organs? What do we call everyone who has an inny and everyone who has an outy genitals?


I genuinely don’t. Y’all have played around with language and concepts to the point it isn’t clear what lots of stuff means, especially if one’s hobby isn’t ally studies. Since, apparently, I don’t have hobbies, I guess it isn’t.


What’s a guy, in this context?


Then you should understand how concepts can change and being gay doesn’t require dudes at all.


Last I checked, you had to prefer playing with other dudes to be gay.
I mean you don’t have to have a penis anymore to be a dude, so…


Says Iran…like…what? They have no more credibility than the US does in this.
Narcissist. Just ask, what would Trump do? That’s narcissism.
