Then what does “biological sex” refer to? You seem to be saying that even though the vast majority of biological men have an XY karotype and that even...
Because AmadeusD is claiming that every human is either biologically male or biologically female, and so that no human is intersex. If his claim is tr...
We can, and do, talk about intersex individuals having both a female phenotype and a male karotype, or having both a male phenotype and a female karot...
And there are factual examples of trans women being raped or sexually assaulted in men's prisons. In fact, according to this, "the total number of tra...
What's maleness? You missed the preceding sentence: Is a biological male any human with testes and a biological female any human with ovaries? If the ...
You were responding to my question to BitconnectCarlos, who claims that it is acceptable for a trans woman who passes as a biological woman to use wom...
Are you saying that a biological male is anyone with an SRY gene and a biological female is anyone without an SRY gene? I believe that Jane passes as ...
Why does appearance matter? If the concern is the safety and well being of cisgender women, and if you say that trans women who pass as biological wom...
Everyone should generally strive to act in ways that facilitate social cohesion and integration, and one such way is to not lash out when someone you ...
Who gets to decide whether or not someone is passing? Is the masculine-looking cisgender woman who is often mistaken for a man required to use the men...
So your suggestion is that bathrooms should be divided by "has a penis" (including trans men with an artificial penis) and "doesn't have a penis" (inc...
But if the law requires that one's biological sex determines which bathroom one can use then plenty of women will be outraged by Leo Macallan in a wom...
Which sentences are synonymous? Surely not "X is good" and "I ought do X" because ought implies can but "X is good" does not seem to imply "I can do X...
By this you mean "biological men should not be allowed access to biological women's spaces"? But the question is: should prisons be divided into one s...
Why should transgender women have to be exposed to cisgender male violence for cisgender women to be protected from transgender female violence? If yo...
Well yes, they are. That's why they are classified as biologically intersex rather than biologically male or biologically female. There is no set of n...
I don't really understand what you're saying here. We ought be allowed to question authority and criticise what others say, but we ought not be allowe...
What else have I done? Then let's not consider some elected official. Ought the employee who falsely accuses (and knowingly so) his colleague of theft...
Yes. According to this, "infertility affects many – but not all – intersex people." Each person's sex gametes (sperm or egg) contain a complete set of...
I'm not sure what you're trying to argue there, or if you've misunderstood my argument here. I accept that "99.9% of people fall into two non-overlapp...
How have I abused my position? You obeyed, so I didn't punish you, and I might not have even threatened to punish you for disobeying. The only thing I...
Assume one does. I promise John £1,000 if he kills my wife. John then kills my wife. I renege on my promise. Ought I be punished for my involvement in...
There's not always the exchange of money, it might only be the promise of money, and surely a promise is just a speech-act? But there might not even b...
There is no single determinant in these cases. You seem to believe that the English words "male" and "female" refer to two clearly defined, mutually e...
How do you distinguish between action and speech in the cases mentioned? Biden isn't physically placing handcuffs on Trump and throwing him in jail; h...
What molecules determine someone to be either a man or a woman? But also your use of "immediately apparent" suggests that you think that biological se...
What about biology determines if someone is male or female? You don’t seem to recognise that being intersex is a biological condition. That’s part of ...
Determined by what? Is this also true of those who undergo sex reassignment surgery (including genitals)? Or is it only “natural” appearance that matt...
It was non-binary with ambiguous genitalia, i.e biologically intersex. The general gist I get from your answer is that the divisions should be “cisgen...
If your concern is the risk of sexual assault, a relevant question is: is a transgender woman more likely to sexually assault a cisgender woman in a w...
I think that many of these discussions tend to get caught up in pointless arguments about what the “real” meaning of a word is. If you choose to use t...
@"NOS4A2" If Biden, when he was President, were to have instructed the Department of Justice to arrest his political opponents and hold them in prison...
How does this address such statements as: 1. The universe was created by a supremely powerful deity 2. Intelligent extra-terrestrial life has visited ...
Mathematical platonists distinguish themselves from non-platonists like nominalists. Each group seems to understand what the other means, hence their ...
From here, "latonism about mathematics (or mathematical platonism) is the metaphysical view that there are abstract mathematical objects whose existen...
Different people may mean different things by "exist" but I don't think different people mean different things by "mathematical platonism", else there...
The question is ambiguous. Consider these two claims: 1. According to the Lord of the Rings canon, orcs exist 2. According to crazy folk, fairies exis...
I haven't made an error. You have. I explained it quite clearly in my last post here which you opted not to address. Firstly, you brought up chess as ...
