Because there are people who do not fit within this binary classification. Therefore either a) these people are neither biologically male nor biologic...
Some people have both XX and XY. Are they male or female? Some people have XX male syndrome. Are they male or female? Some people have XYY, some XXY, ...
Then I’ll ask the question I asked before: Given that some human has ovotesticular syndrome caused by 46,XX/46,XY chimerism, what is the biological fe...
I think he's pointing out that you started by claiming that every human is either unambiguously male or unambiguously female without exception, then y...
See Report of Fertility in a Woman with a Predominantly 46,XY Karyotype in a Family with Multiple Disorders of Sexual Development Under your account, ...
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority The simple fact is that trained psychiatrists are far more qualified than you to determine wha...
The claim that some are making is that every single human is either unambiguously male or unambiguously female, and that so-called “intersex” people d...
See 46,XX/46,XY. Some of their cells have an SRY gene, some don't. Are they male or female according to your distinction? Is the existence of a single...
You appear to be equivocating. Here are two plausible interpretations of your claim: 1. They believe they are biologically male when they are biologic...
That doesn't answer the question. Given that some human has ovotesticular syndrome caused by 46,XX/46,XY chimerism, what is the biological feature tha...
In the most extreme case there's ovotesticular syndrome, where someone has both ovarian and testicular tissue, and can be caused by 46,XX/46,XY chimer...
It's not clear to me what delusion you believe they have. We've already established that trans men don't believe that they were born with a penis or X...
I’m focused on actual people trying to live their actual lives. Trans people aren’t just some philosophical hypothetical. They exist and they often ne...
You don't need to know. Just let people take a piss in peace. It's not hard. Why you are even thinking about other people's genitals or chromosomes or...
What do you mean "think beyond the statistics"? You're suggesting we ignoring the facts? Because the facts are: Whether or not it "makes sense" to you...
I addressed the relevant issue. Trans people are at a greater risk when they use the bathroom according to their biological sex and cis women are not ...
I don’t know if they’re disproportionately assaulted in bathrooms as opposed to other places, but they are at greater risk if forced to use bathrooms ...
So trans women ought to suffer using men's bathrooms, risking being abused, because cis men might pretend to be trans women to use women's bathrooms? ...
No link between trans-inclusive policies and bathroom safety, study finds Transgender people over four times more likely than cisgender people to be v...
You tell me. You seem to think that there are good reasons to separate bathrooms according some biological binary. What are those reasons? Perhaps whe...
I don't need to understand why they wish to transition to understand that trans men do not believe that they have a penis. Indeed, the very fact that ...
Firstly, not all do. Secondly, you'll have to ask them, not me. Thirdly, the same can be asked about anyone who undergoes cosmetic surgery, whether tr...
If someone born without a penis believes that they have a penis then they would be suffering from a delusion, but this isn't what trans men believe. W...
Because of the anti-trans agenda. There is such an uproar in some circles against trans women using women's bathrooms that masculine-looking cis women...
Well then now we get into murky territory. Who gets to decide whether or not a trans woman looks enough like a woman to use the women's changing room?...
If they've had surgery, how would you know? What about trans men (esp. after hormones and surgery)? Ought they use women's changing rooms because they...
@"Tobias" So the summary of the argument of that paper is: In other words, for some X it is conceivable that: 1. "X is good" is true 2. "You ought do ...
A meaningful question to ask is why we have such separations. For sports it's to give biological women a competitive chance, and that may be a reason ...
This may be an interesting read: Good and Obligation. I don't have access to the full paper, but I'll look to see if I can find it (for free) somewher...
The point I am making is that if truths exist then the proposition "only I exist" is a logical contradiction. Therefore if "only I exist" is not a log...
In your previous post you alluded to the existence of mathematical truths, e.g. if "2 + 2 = 4" is true then the truth that 2 + 2 = 4 exists. Presumabl...
Take the following exchanges: Exchange 1 Michael: Why ought I give money to charity? Tobias: Because giving money to charity is good. Exchange 2 Micha...
The term "intersex" exists for a reason. Human biology is complex, and English vocabulary does not fully account for this complexity, and so the sugge...
This seems to me like saying that if I kick a football through a window then I didn’t cause the window to break, as if I’m causally responsible only f...
The brain states of listeners. You could read up on speech perception for more technical information on the physics of neural activity responding to a...
Why do you think that the adjectives "male" and "female" properly refer only to the status of the SRY gene and not chromosomal sex or phenotypic sex? ...
Is “X ought to be done” synonymous with “I ought to X”? Then that’s the issue of contention. According to Kant, “for if the moral law commands that we...
If "X is good" is synonymous with "we ought do X" and if "we ought do X" is not synonymous with "I ought do X" then "X is good" is not synonymous with...
Well, "I" and "we" mean different things, so "I ought end world poverty" is not synonymous with "we ought end world poverty". That’s the (semantic) di...
So it's not that I ought to end world poverty, only that we ought to end world poverty. That's a pertinent distinction. Perhaps, then, "X is good" is ...
And there are people who have neither an XX nor an XY karotype, therefore according to your own definitions there are people who are neither biologica...
