"assigned"? How can it be assigned when it's a natural state of being? That's like saying the kids also get assigned hair color or eye color at birth.
They're trying to co-opt language "assigned at birth" is a trans phrase
Fair. As always I defer to what the individual themselves prefer when asked.
Funny thing, both of those can change too. I was blond when I was a kid, now my hair is brown, and when I'm old it'll be gray.
You're missing the point. If a kid is born and has brown eyes does the doctor "assign" his eye color? As brown? Or does he observe the eye color as brown?
Saying the doctor "assigns" the eye color could mean it's up to the doctor to decide, when it really isn't. The doctor can't look at brown eyes on a newborn and say, "yup I'm going to assign that as blue"
Because it's not always one or the other. Sex and gender are far more complicated than just X or Y.
They're not.
What's not?
I see, even the simplest English sentence is confusing for you. No wonder you think the way you think...
No, I just want you yo be explicit about what you believe, because the argument goes in two directions. You're either confidently ignorant, or you're a bigot. If it's the former, you might actually learn something. I don't waste my time arguing with bigots, though.
Wut?
What about intersex folks? Or folks with mutations on their x and y chromosomes?
