Scientifically inaccurate.
There are people with extra X or Y chromosomes.

Abnormalities are perfectly possible, and do happen (as above).
Even so, you must still technically be one or the other, there is no 3rd human gender.
(Fun Fact: You must have an X chromosome to survive).

Two sexes, not genders - whilst the terms are often used interchangebly, scientifically, they are different.
Sex - biological (male or female, with occasional exceptions such as hermaphrodites/intersex)
Gender - social construct relating to behaviours and characteristics
https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/envir...der/2019-02-21
Quote:
Sex and gender are different concepts that are often used interchangeably. The UK government refers to sex as being biologically defined, and gender as a social construct that is an internal sense of self, whether an individual sees themselves as a man or a woman, or another gender identity. They encompass many different identities and may be non-binary (that is, not a man or a woman).

Re: Backlash as BBC teaches NINE year olds there is 100 Genders
So - sex vs gender is like apples vs oranges.
That's OK. Trans are either male or female; simples.
Thus, public toilets are differentiate by sex not gender. Get my drift?

It must make life so much easier when you have a binary* view of life...

My logic is impeccable and, of course, you haven't been able to refute it.

True, but “gender dysphoria” usually relates to male/masculine, female/feminine and the
incongruence between one’s sex assigned at birth and one’s gender identity. Though gender dysphoria often begins in childhood, some people may not experience it until after puberty or much later. Hence transgender and/or gender reassignment.
We can dance around the subject of gender but it boils down to two.
The notion that there are tens and hundreds is crazy, and pandering to a super minority. Same as the absurd pro-noun issue as calling an individual “they” which is incorrect on every level.

Why refute something that’s based on a false premise?

Plenty of other examples(fat when not, legs not belonging to them) where people think they're something they're not. Difference is, they are considered to have a mental illness.

How does it hurt calling someone by their preferred pronoun?
You lose nothing, and gain their respect by respecting their choice...

Well two things here:
1. I am happy to refer to people on an individual basis how they wish to be addressed. Even how stupid and totally incongruous to the English language it may be, and I will address people how they wish to be addressed on an individual basis.
2. I will not however be “told” how address another person. I will not conform to compelled speech. Secondly what are these other “genders”? Outside of the male/female/trans I’ll Stretch to Bi ( although that is a sexuality) what are the definitions of the other 94 genders?

How do you prove that mine is a false premise?

Respect? Which side kicks up one heck of a nasty fuss when the wrong term is allegedly used?
Why is promotion and encouragement of one set of circumstances to be criticised and the promotion and encouragement of a similar type of circumstances not to be criticised?

You may refer to me as "your highness" in future.
