Have you considered that those scientists might be bias and pushing an agenda. Gender is a biological absolute.
Gender is highly contextualized by time and place. Like, if you want to talk about scientists being biased and pushing an agenda, look at modern western science for pushing a flawed binary narrative.
Non-binary genders are not a modern invention. The idea of third genders/non-binary genders is as old as human civilization, because gender is socially constructed and subjective, and people’s ideas about gender have changed over time and between cultures.
In Mesopotamian mythology, among the earliest written records of humanity, there are references to types of people who are not men and not women. In a Sumerian creation myth found on a stone tablet from the second millennium BC, the goddess Ninmah fashions a being “with no male organ and no female organ”, for whom Enki finds a position in society: “to stand before the king”.
In Babylonia, Sumer and Assyria, certain types of individuals who performed religious duties in the service of Inanna/Ishtar have been described as a third gender.
Inscribed pottery shards from the Middle Kingdom of Egypt (2000–1800 BCE), found near ancient Thebes (now Luxor, Egypt), list three human genders: tai (male), sḫt (“sekhet”) and hmt (female).
The Vedas (c. 1500 BC–500 BC) describe individuals as belonging to one of three categories, according to one’s nature or prakrti. These are also spelled out in the Kama Sutra (c. 4th century AD) and elsewhere as pums-prakrti (male-nature), stri-prakrti (female-nature), and tritiya-prakrti (third-nature).
Many have interpreted the “eunuchs” of the Ancient Eastern Mediterranean world as a third gender that inhabited a liminal space between women and men, understood in their societies as somehow neither or both. In the Historia Augusta, the eunuch body is described as a tertium genus hominum (a third human gender),
The ancient Maya civilization may have recognised a third gender, according to historian Matthew Looper. Looper notes the androgynous Maize Deity and masculine Moon goddess of Maya mythology, and iconography and inscriptions where rulers embody or impersonate these deities. He suggests that the third gender could also include two-spirit individuals with special roles such as healers or diviners
Anthropologist Rosemary Joyce agrees, writing that “gender was a fluid potential, not a fixed category, before the Spaniards came to Mesoamerica. Childhood training and ritual shaped, but did not set, adult gender, which could encompass third genders and alternative sexualities as well as “male” and “female.” At the height of the Classic period, Maya rulers presented themselves as embodying the entire range of gender possibilities, from male through female, by wearing blended costumes and playing male and female roles in state ceremonies.“
Andean Studies scholar Michael Horswell writes that third-gendered ritual attendants to chuqui chinchay, a jaguar deity in Incan mythology, were “vital actors in Andean ceremonies” prior to Spanish colonisation.
Two-spirit individuals are viewed in some Native American cultures as having two identities occupying one body. Their dress is usually a mixture of traditionally male and traditionally female articles, or they may dress as a man one day, and a woman on another.
In Pakistan, the hijras are officially recognized as third gender by the government,
Well that’s stupid. All this proves is that special snowflakes are older then we thought.
Wait, did someone argue myth when discussing science? Really? There isn’t a third gender, there are genetic mutations and abnormalities. There are genetic flukes that are usually sterile because they are mess ups and their genetics were never meant to continue.
“Yeah but what about this culture over here that still lives in favellas and praises an eight armed goddess, they have 7 genders, so obviously it’s totally normal”
Let’s just abandon everything that’s made western society successful because I need to feel special about being an effiminate male because my dad never told me to grow the fuck up.
lmao, buddy, everything that made western society “”successful”” is violent imperialism and colonialism. For someone who has a header going on about truth, you sure do believe a lot of lies, don’t you? Like, talking about the Native American tribes alone before Europeans started fucking things up… Racist, transphobic, and ignorant ain’t a good look for you.
P.S. - F&F is a woman, buddy. Dial back the whining about men who don’t fit your idea of ~masculinity~, because it’s not relevant to the conversation and no one cares that you’re threatened by men who aren’t traditionally masculine.
See your mistake is thinking I give a fuck or think any of that was wrong.
The earth is a finite resource with multiple competing interests.
Conflict is natural, and it means there will be winners and losers. People can whine all they want, but it’s just annoying, it doesn’t mean anything.
Also, western society is successful, compared to south America, most of Asia, most of Africa, and basically all of the middle east - all of whom tried their hand at imperialism and werent as good at it as we were. So, yeah, eat me.
You: look at all these dumb primative people making up genders who live in huts Me: Actually, it’s been proven that indigenous people like Native American tribes were quite advanced and intelligent- You:
Easier to stay ignorant and whiny than to admit that people know more about “truth” then you do, eh? You lost the second you went “I don’t care” in a conversation about truth, facts, and history.
I think we’re done here, kid. You’re not interested in anyone criticizing you or discussing things. Don’t both replying because it’s gonna get ignored, since you obviously have nothing of actual use to say.
You, someone who doesn’t know the difference between sex and gender: There are only two genders! We need two genders to be able to reproduce! WAKE UP SHEEPLE
Me: It doesn’t matter how many sexes or genders there are, you’re in no danger of reproducing with any of them
