Though not entirely, but it kind of depends on how you define both "sex" and "gender" in the first place, the latter in particular.
"Nice" comment on that score by "Hippiesq", the mother of a dysphoric teenage daughter:
Hippiesq: "If 'gender identity' were just the degree and specificity of feminine and masculine qualities, it might have some real usefulness in terms of being able to discuss differing personality traits - and maybe that was the origin of the term."
The problem is that too many are "reluctant" or unable to define their terms with the requisite degree of precision, accuracy, and intellectual honesty. As philosopher Will Durant put it relative to a quote of Voltaire:
Durant: “ 'If you wish to converse with me,' said Voltaire, 'define your terms.' How many a debate would have been deflated into a paragraph if the disputants had dared to define their terms! This is the alpha and omega of logic, the heart and soul of it, that every important term in serious discourse shall be subjected to strictest scrutiny and definition. It is difficult, and ruthlessly tests the mind; but once done it is half of any task."
Excellent synopsis of where we're at. Thank you, Lisa.
Agree. I actually laughed out loud at “and it’s unclear how you reconcile sex with genderfuck, or change the body to match it.”
Like trying to square the circle? 😉🙂
