Sexual dimorphism is the reason that there are billions of humans created by reproduction not because someone assigned our sex at birth.
June 20, 2021 at 02:49
I completely disagree. Who has discovered this "mental sex". By mental do you mean immaterial? Before the discovery of hormones and extensive advances...

Can a male be turned into a female? How? Can a male have a period and give birth? Has reality changed since I was born?
