How so? What is the word we should use for a person with a penis or a vagina? Just because there are other possibilities does not mean we do not have a word for these two cases. Is biological female/biological male acceptable?It kind of does.
It appears that you are conflating gender and sex. Gender is how one expresses oneself, sex deals with whether one has an XX or XY chromosome pair. If one is born with a penis or vagina. He/she/they whatever is more of a gender issue. It is how one expresses oneself. If a guy told you his name was Bob it would be rude to call him "Rob" and even worse to call him Steve. Why would you call someone a name other than they wish? When a person tells you that they prefer to be referred to as "he" and is biologically female what difference does it make to you? Why insult a person by not calling them what they preferred to be called? It won't harm you. Calling them something other than they wish can harm them.How so?

I am not confusing gender and sex. I have repeatedly said I will call anyone whatever they want to be called. My question remains. What do we call a person with a penis or vagina? What word do we use? is biological male/biological female acceptable? I seem to get pushback from those terms.It appears that you are conflating gender and sex.

Are you worried that you might date a transwoman by mistake?

The issue is for many reasons a man may not have a penis. But he's still a man, even if traditional societal views would say otherwise.How so?

Ok, thank you. I did not know about the AMAB and AFAB terminology.I think most trans people are fine with the the use of those terms (biological male/female) as long as you use them appropriately. Additionally the most accepted terms are "assigned male/female at birth" (AMAB, AFAB). The reason these are preferred is because after a certain amount of hormone therapy, trans folks begin to break away from their biological sex. For example, a trans man (female to male) who has been on testosterone for several years will need male doses of certain medications or drugs. They are somewhere between biologically male or female. So AFAB would be the most accurate. Hope this made sense!
EDIT. You could also say genotypically male or female.
This is all coming from a trans person fyi.
I agree. I am only asking what a person with a penis or vagina is called. It was answered by someone else.The issue is for many reasons a man may not have a penis. But he's still a man, even if traditional societal views would say otherwise.
I do. Now what do we call a person with a penis/vagina? If you don't want to answer the question JDMS did.You call them what they want to be called.
I already answered that. You just responded to that post.I do. Now what do we call a person with a penis/vagina? If you don't want to answer the question JDMS did.
And I expanded on this question to bring up the point going by genitals isn't a consistent means of defining people, and that's before the trans issue is brought.I agree. I am only asking what a person with a penis or vagina is called. It was answered by someone else.
No, that's not remotely what I said, you assume there are essential traits about being a man or a woman that are purely physical in nature, but those don't manifest absolutely even in cis women. Do you think all women have to have a uterus and particular secondary sexual traits we tend to associate with being female? Because then you're discounting probably more women than you realize.Ok, so, a "man" can as well be then a woman, which makes it impossible to be trans, because there is nowhere to transition´, nothing that would make person woman or man? By what I know, nowadays there are no boy or girl toys, clothes... nothing, which is why person can't transition to anywhere, because there is nothing that defines woman or man.
More importantly, why is it anyone's business unless it's a situation that directly involves your genitals?I already answered that. You just responded to that post.
By the way, when you first meet someone how would you know how they are equipped?
Except the assigning is often done by people having cisnormative assumptions in the first place, like with this stupid stunt of gender reveal parties that essentially is just telling people about your baby's genitals without being upfront about it. Even the person who popularized it admits it's a dumb idea now and it's exploded (no pun intended) into stuff that has literally caused property damage and other major damages because we can't just not be extra about everything out of insecurity.I think this phrasing is problematic. To say "assigned" is a bit inaccurate. The gender of a baby is based on the basic biological category that is observed. How gender evolves and is felt as a child grows and matures would be more a matter of assignment, namely personal assignment.
I see many intolerant conservatives complain that homosexuality is created by grooming and other nonsense, so they are attacking how adults assign this status. So to say gender is assigned at birth could be interpreted as adults accused of grooming and alternative gender influence.
Except we generally are talking about gender, not sex, when we are referring to people and their identity thereof that can incidentally align with sex. If your first question when you meet a person is their sex, I'm pretty sure you're cruising to be on a registryI am not talking about pronouns.
I do. Now what do we call a person with a penis/vagina? If you don't want to answer the question JDMS did.
OkI already answered that. You just responded to that post.
I have no idea and do not care.By the way, when you first meet someone how would you know how they are equipped?
Yet, this is not my question. I am not defining anyone by their genitals. I have said many times I will call anyone what they want to be called. This has been answered by JDMS and I am satisfies with that answer.And I expanded on this question to bring up the point going by genitals isn't a consistent means of defining people, and that's before the trans issue is brought.
Sigh, I just asked a simple question that JDMS answered. No one else did.Except we generally are talking about gender, not sex, when we are referring to people and their identity thereof that can incidentally align with sex. If your first question when you meet a person is their sex, I'm pretty sure you're cruising to be on a registry
