Because "sex" isn't really a feeling in your head, known with any certainly only by yourself. It is really something else altogether. A better comparison than chemistry reducing to physics would be combustion reducing to phlogiston.
Does it? What does it say when it speaks for itself?
I have no idea.
Did you read the stuff version where she is a model girly girl?
Cutting off your dick doesn't remove the muscle mass or skeletal advantage.
I'm very pleased she's upset. 10/10 to Silverberg.
Mate, that is utter bollocks.
The person is a psychological mess with PTSD, drug and alcohol abuse and the fact that she identifies as female has nothing to do with the crimes, although no doubt identifying as female at Mt Eden Jail in the 1970s and '80s would have been very hard time.
I'd say that the majority of people use "male" and "female" to denote sex rather than the applicability of gendered norms, nearly all of the time. Looking back through these threads, you're literally the only person here saying that "male" and "female" refer to something other than physical sexual characteristics.
I only saw two in which the terms "male" and "female" were clearly being used to denote masculine and feminine social expectations, and they were both old statutes written in Victorian times. In the other examples, other adjectives ("rugged, strong, independent" or "real") were doing the bulk of the gendered work. In one case, the silver screen hypermasculinity of John Wayne was invoked in lieu of adjectives.
It seems to me you are probably confusing the first two highlighted terms—which often do imply gendered behavior—with the second two highlighted terms which rather rarely imply gendered behavior per se.
Because that would be a true statement.
The ACLU defines sex as gender. That's about as "sex isn't real" as it gets.
Anytime!
The "what is a woman" thing was particularly not-helpful.Anytime!
I think this is even worse than fallacious, though, b/c the GOP is going to keep winning so long as Democrats get stumped on easy questions like "What is a woman?" or "Should females be allowed to have their own spaces or leagues?" When President DeSantis is nominating his second or third SCOTUS pick, it will be in part because the left very publicly fell for a load of nonsense such as the idea that sex refers to a feeling in your mind rather than a biological adaptation.
