@Tweeterandthemm @JennaFights4You My year 10 biology textbook, Tweeter. It has tables of the terms for the different genders of the same sex in different species. Horse Male = stallion Female = mare Chicken Male = rooster Female = hen It means that to define gender you need also to specify the sex and species

@ProperStewart @JennaFights4You "As gender is the species specific subclassification of sex" What source are you using?

Want to know a good example of transmisogyny? I have people on here all day long calling me a "man", deadnaming me, calling me the R slur over and over. If I even lose my cool once, they will 100% jump at the chance to say "Oh there is that male rage" or some other stupid shit like that. Thus, in the face of their blatant disrespect, hatred, and hostility, I'm forced to play nice for the sake of optics. That's transmisogyny.

@ellandnora @JacintaAllanMP Could we aim to address both, Warren?

@ProperStewart @JacintaAllanMP I’m so fucking over culture wars. I don’t actually care who’s pissing in the next dunny. Can we please focus on important issues? Domestic violence is more important than chicks with dicks Ffs. Get a grip

Rachel Halse is a nurse. She's a mum of two - including beautiful Joey here. And I’m proud to announce that she’s our Labor candidate for Ringwood. Rachel knows the pressure families are under - juggling work in emergency care, raising two kids and staying on top of the bills. And she knows Labor governments deliver the support and services families rely on. That's why she's running. To give back to locals and ensure every child - just like Joey - gets the best start in life.

@Tweeterandthemm @JennaFights4You Important question, Tweeter, thank you. As gender is the species specific subclassification of sex, And sex is the genetic potential for reproduction, And sex is immutable, Sex and gender are not changed by changing gender id, medications, or surgery.

@ProperStewart @JennaFights4You "But sex and its subclassification into gender does not change." Could you please explain that to me?

@Tweeterandthemm @JennaFights4You Sex is the genetic potential for reproduction and is subclassified into species specific genders An adult of the male sex of the human species is, by gender, a man. An adult male of the equine species is, likewise, a stallion So not all adult males are men But all men are male

@Tweeterandthemm @JennaFights4You Accepted. Gender id is an internal sense that is unverifiable, changeable, and may not include either (non-binary) or may include both (pan) of the two genders! Gender expressions are the external projections of a sexual stereotype of one of the genders. Neither define gender.

@ProperStewart @JennaFights4You Gender identity refers to a person’s internal sense of being male, female or something else; gender expression refers to the way a person communicates gender identity to others through behavior, clothing, hairstyles, voice or body characteristics. Transgender is an umbrella term

@Tweeterandthemm @JennaFights4You Does that mean a woman who is a brickies labourer is a man, Tweeter?

@ProperStewart @JennaFights4You with physical attributes such as chromosomes, hormone prevalence, and external and internal anatomy. Gender refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviors, activities, and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for boys and men or girls and women.

@Tweeterandthemm @JennaFights4You I suspect you are referring to gender roles and gender expression again, Tweeter. They certainly change between cultures and even in the same cultures over time. But sex and its subclassification into gender does not change.

@ProperStewart @JennaFights4You These influence the ways that people act, interact, and feel about themselves. While aspects of biological sex are similar across different cultures, aspects of gender may differ. apa.org/topics/lgbtq/t…

@SaketGokhale Definitions matter, honourable member. If Sex = genetic potential for reproduction Gender = species specific subclassification of sex And Gender identity = self belief Is it not possible that a transwoman is: A male by sex A man by gender And a transwoman by gender?

A Trans Man is a MAN. A Trans Woman is a WOMAN. I OPPOSED the draconian Transgender Amendment Bill in Rajya Sabha today. It is a pure unbridled EVIL act by the Modi Govt & and an attack on the basic rights of transpersons. Today is a day of shame.

@RubyJeanette2 @Heccles94 Not one surgical or medical intervention was successful in changing the patient’s sex, Ruby.

@Heccles94 Still crazy to me how people can call it abuse when it has an insanely high success rate and a low regret rate

It’s saddens me to see that so many adults are blinded by ideology when it comes to children. You should love children for who they are, not only if they comply with your idea of gender or sexuality. Let children be children, encourage them to be who they are and simply love them.

@RubyJeanette2 @Heccles94 The huge lost to follow up rates reported in previous studies would suggest that the findings of satisfaction might be flawed. 78% of detransistioners did not tell their treating team they had detransitioned!

@Heccles94 Nobody tells kids that Santa doesn’t exist, Harry, The kids just grow out of it.

@JennaFights4You @Heccles94 So Jenna, Tell us all why you couldn’t accept yourself for who you were?

@Heccles94 I never understood how people can choose hatred and rejection when their child comes out as gay or trans. How do bring a child into this world and that is the 'make or break it' moment?

@Heccles94 You have a very valid point, Harry. Infants have no concepts of sexual dimorphism. Issues arise when kids start to perceive differences between sexes. That occurs long before puberty begins. It occurs when someone is old enough to say “boy germs”!

I’ve never understood why we segregate kids by gender anyway, surely this plays into the false narrative that boys and girls should have different hobbies? Can’t we just let kids pick what activities they want to do, and let them to that with other kids who also want to do the same?

@Tweeterandthemm @JennaFights4You If gender id is different to sex and gender, how does changing gender id change their sex or gender?

@ProperStewart @JennaFights4You "The follow up question is, of course, how these men become girls/women." They change their gender expression.

@Tweeterandthemm @JennaFights4You Help me understand, Tweeter. Is your proposition that gender expression determines sex and gender? Gender expression requires a definition of sex and gender, As does gender identity, So neither gender expression nor gender id can be used to define sex or gender, can they?

@ProperStewart @JennaFights4You "Is it through changing sex, changing gender, or changing gender identity?" Through gender expression.

@Tweeterandthemm @JennaFights4You There’s the key! A man can express himself to reflect a stereotype that is feminine. He can wear a dress or put on makeup. He can believe he is a woman. He can tell others he is a woman. But is he a woman by definition?

@ProperStewart @JennaFights4You As in their gender id is a woman but their gender expression is a man?

@Tweeterandthemm @JennaFights4You Thanks for that Tweeter. The follow up question is, of course, how these men become girls/women. Is it through changing sex, changing gender, or changing gender identity? Or do you believe they change all three?

@ProperStewart @JennaFights4You Are girls/women.

@Tweeterandthemm @JennaFights4You So it is also incontrovertible to say that a man can be male and a transwoman at the same time, wouldn’t you say, Tweeter?

@ProperStewart @JennaFights4You "I hope you agree that gender id is not the same as sex or gender, Tweeter." Yes.

@Tweeterandthemm @JennaFights4You Scientifically, gender is the species specific subclassification of sex and so also is binary, immutable, and verifiable, You might be confusing gender with what I call gender roles. Gender roles are the societal expectations of conformity to sexual stereotypes.

@ProperStewart @JennaFights4You Gender refers to the characteristics of women, men, girls and boys that are socially constructed. This includes norms, behaviours and roles associated with being a woman, man, girl or boy, as well as relationships with each other.
