Brilliant explanation. It is all social interpretations of complex biology, all the way down.

Bang goes the validity of everything you've just said. Ad hominem and strawman arguments about cis people are not useful. There's no logic and no evidence to this point.

Quote: "It's cis people who go along with the social designation of their gender, which means that if anyone's gender is "social" as opposed to "biological," it's cis people."

I mean...it might be useful to read the next sentence, where I say cis people's gender is not in fact social? (also, there's nothing ad hominem or strawman about that argument; words mean things, or should.)

also, "you said one thing I disagree with so nothing else you say can be true" is really a silly form of argument, Caz.
