Exactly! These gender roles are ingrained in our genetics since cave man days. I resent it when young Millennials today think they can reinvent all that & make up several other genders or non genders. It’s like a massive scheme to brainwash society to test just how dumb people are so they can make some believe anything they tell us. I believe that’s all it is, a way to see how controllable the people are. Frightening too, that the Norwegian lady is threatened with prison for explaining the biological impossibility of changing your gender. That’s in another video, I believe by Fox News.
I'm guessing cavemen also never believed in a god until intangible ideas become valuable to morons! lol How can any religious person criticize when it uses the same foundation of belief. The hypocrisy is hilarious and no believer even understands how they've been played their entire lives!
No. These folks don’t let nature, reality nor religion get in the way of their agenda. They are okay doing super mental gymnastics and selling delusions. They know it is 🐄 💩 but hoping that if you feed people it they start to believe it.
"Gender" is simply a word that was commonly used synonymously with "sex", in order to avoid confusion with "sex" as an action. It's derived from the latin word "genus" which literally means "kind", "type", "sort". It has the exact same meaning as biological sex, and has only recently been used in it's perversity to describe individual depravities.
And it just happens that in the English language there were two words for sex. That's not the case in other languages - there is normally just one word that means biological sex. That's why the whole asinine gender ideology comes from the English-speaking word. It is, of course, a very recent phenomena and people started giving a different meaning to the word gender only in the 20th century, but at least in English one could say "my sex is male, but my gender is female, therefore I'm a female". Of course it's nonsensical, but in other languages one can't even do that. Translators trying to translate the insanity coming from the English-speaking world usually have to resort to using carbon copies of the English word gender, as there is no other way to translate the nonsense from English.
As a student (20 years ago!) I was corrected by a senior for using the word ‘gender’ to describe men and women. “Use the word ‘sex’,” she said, “Gender is a grammatical word used predominantly in other languages. People have a sex but not a gender.”
And anyone who says otherwise is gaslighting. Look at the term's usage in practically every single medium until very recently: video games, novels, news articles, etc. It's a synonym for sex, and "biological sex" is redundant. And anyone who gaslights you on this is evil and must be handled accordingly.
You narrow minded bigot! Don't you think it's a bit racist to ascribe words to particular languages? What if the word 'genus' identifies as Māori or French?
I agree with him. I am fed up with people catering to woke, pandering to woke fools..Last year I was asked by a Canadian census taker if I was the same sex as when I was born.. certainly I said and thoroughly disgusted by government asking me such a stupid question.
A person who was over 60 years old and a Male was asked whether he was pregnant, when he refused to answer such a stupid question he was not allowed to give blood which is why he was at the place.
@Pharisee Spotter No he looked what he was an Man over 60 years old. When he questioned the reason for asking this daft question he was told that they had to ask everyone. It seems common sense have been given the boot in favour of the daft agenda we have now. Besides Men cannot get pregnant only Women have that ability.
But claims that you can change your gender which presupposes that the terms are not interchangeable which they are. Hmmm, doesn’t seem very bright to me if he can’t even discern that which an infant could.
@@nanoobis Ugh, this is why we’re in such a mess when discussing this topic. Trust me, nobody was confused about this prior to the 1960s. People had a sex. That’s what they filled in on forms. But then “gender theory” took off in the social sciences, causing much confusion, hence why the words are often used as synonyms when they’re really not. Professor Winston is correct. Sex is his field. Gender is the woo-woo that came from social science, from people like Professor John Money (look up his dreadful experiment on David Reimer). The confusion is what enabled them to make such progress. People are scared to talk about biological sex because they’d be attacked as though they were insulting their sacred cow of gender.
@@nanoobischildren cannot discern if somebody is transgender if it's not obvious. If they pass successfully, most adults won't be able to tell either.
It's Crazy how we need to have such an educated professional answer the question what is a woman!! We should be asking these people how can we cure cancer or how can we feed more people around the world.. But no!! their time is taken up telling people an obvious truth.. That a female human is called a woman.
Piers is attempting to make his transphobic view more legitimate by recruiting scientist who happen to share in his ideology. This is not a scientific question but this is how Morgan is trying to frame it. The question is supposed to be super simple and by asking a "rational" scientist what a woman is means that any who would disagree are essentially "irrational" and deluded. He knows what he is doing and it's simply a way to promote his right wing narrative that he personally supports.
@@shroudedgrove4679 WTF you sound like a complete and utter looney,the science you speak of is totally pseudoscience and not real,not one human on the planet can change the sex they are born with and that’s an undeniable fact you cannot change even if you have surgeries or hormone treatment.

Even though I failed biology many years ago I think I took with me a grasp of the basic facts. I do get confused with gender. For me I always thought gender was just another way of referring to someone's biological sex. Sociologists use the word gender to refer to male or female sex norms. So I've always thought I fully understood the concept of gender. So if you can't change your biological sex (which you definitely can't) then you can't change your gender because your gender is your biological sex... You can dress and act like you think a woman is (if you're a man) but of course you don't then become a woman. And no one should be expected to address or think of you as a woman. You're just a man who likes the idea of being a woman. And I'm baffled as to what a man means when he says he identifies inside as a woman. I've actually never heard a clear explanation of how what it is a man feels that makes him think he's having the sort of feelings only women have. I mean what feelings does he have that he thinks aren't attributed to his male sex. Being a man shouldn't limit how you can feel and act. You can be sensitive and whatever other stereotype of being what a female is supposed to be. So in conclusion I think the word gender is a very simple thing to grasp and when applied to humans it should just be male or female. Any other type of gender is just a meaningless made up word. Same for being gender fluid which is nonsense. I'd happily accept trans women if they just said they were a man but they would rather dress and act like a woman because it just feels right for them. But when they insist that they are a real woman I have to disagree. Thank you for your time.
It seems to me that gender is nothing other than someone's proclivity to conform to sexist gender stereotypes. This is why I think the trans phenomenon is so regressive. If a female doesn't identify with the female stereotypes, more and more of them are identifying as trans men rather than simply being a female that doesn't confirm to gender stereotypes. This completely undoes all the work that has been done to break down stereotypes and promote equality of the sexes.
I totally agree with what you said, and in fact I've written many similar posts. Especially the part about what does it mean when a man says " I feel like a woman." No-one has ever explained what they mean by that?? I think actually that we should get rid or the word "gender!" Gender is a social construct and it seems if you "identify, act and dress like a woman" that makes your "gender" a woman!! Biological sex is immutable. So why even have such a bullshit word as gender?? Just use "male and female, man and woman." Simple!! I totally agree with your closing statement: "I'd happily accept trans women if they just said they were a man but they would rather dress and act like a woman because it just feels right for them. But when they insist that they are a real woman I have to disagree." Yeah, just because I say " I feel like I'm a dog", and then I get a tail surgically sewn on to my ass, and paint my nose black, that doesn't make me a dog does it??
@@mikthe2004 Good points. I've only really started to think about these things over the last few weeks. Gender was no big deal awhile back. I don't know how long but say 10 years ago. It was just a simple term to refer to if you were male or female. I was always aware of gender norms as I studied sociology. So there are a lot of what you could call stereotypes of behaviour and feelings associated with gender. I remember when I was studying this that I thought a lot of it was nonsense or that I didn't identify with some of the male stereotypes. I identified often with some of the female gender stereotypes. But I didn't want to rebel against being labelled male. But now young, vulnerable and questioning young people see that they have more choices of gender to identify with that they think identifies them more. But all these new genders seem to me to be meaningless. I really hate the non-binary gender a lot of people now choose to identify themselves with. How cool it is to be neither male or female or male one day and female the other! Crazy nonsense... When I was young and studying sociology I knew that so many things defined who I was and they were nothing to do with gender or biological sex. Like memories and experiences and my own unique thoughts. But also I knew I had common feelings that all sexes surely had, that unite both biological sexes in a common humanity. I suppose we still need the two genders of male and female because they are useful for defining biological sexes. Part of me wants to just forget all about these issues as they make me angry. But they are popping up in the media all the time now and often it's just plain madness and people are being bullied or shamed or threatened into going along with it and not criticising it.
@@marlowemarlowe4893 You're absolutely right. Most people don't realize that sex and gender are not the same thing. The definition of gender is : "The state of being male or female as expressed by social or cultural distinctions and differences, rather than biological ones, the collective attributes or traits associated with a particular sex, or determined as a result of one's sex." No-one can change their sex - it's immutable. But you can change your gender simply by self identifying as the opposite sex. Lots of people - myself included - have a problem with that. If I put on a dog suit, and get a tail surgically sewn on my ass, am I a dog?? Obviously not. But a man putting on a dress, styling his hair a certain way, acting like a woman, and calling himself a woman means we all have to accept him as a woman - and going by the definition of "gender" she is right!! The problem is that 600 years ago, when the word gender was invented, it probably meant the same as sex? Now gender has evolved - especially recently - to mean something else. I actually believe we don't even need the word gender? I think we have evolved way past the sexual stereotypes that existed when the word came to mean what is does now?? I'm like you. All this talk about genders drives me nuts!! LOL!! Do we even need the word gender?? Apart from giving transgender people a word to hang their ideology on, is there any other purpose for the word?? Couldn't we just use the word "Sex" instead?? Wouldn't it make things a whole lot simpler?? What do you think?? For example: NY City now has on their drivers licence 3 Gender choices. Man, Woman and "Other"!! (WTF is "Other?") Would it not be better instead to have 2 Sex Choices - Male, Female? Doesn't that make things a lot clearer?? Not only clearer, but a lot more factual??
@@mikthe2004 This is why the definition of "gender" has no science behind it. You can alter and change it as you please, and it depends on culture and norms. Also, why do "gender confused" people want to alter their appearance so they can look like the opposite SEX? For me, it's just biology. Do what you want, express yourself the way you want. But you are either male or female and you cannot change that.
It’s not really an argument he was just simply stating undeniable facts,it’s totally impossible to change the sex of any human being on planet earth period.

This is how they are able to open the door and invite in their views and opinions and either change the fact or add fiction to them. The best way to deal with to these clowns is to ignore them and those who are pushing their nonsense on the rest of society.

"That question is hate." That's how they are shutting down logic science and reason. I mean they deny science until they need surgery and hormones. They deny gender until they wish to be surgically altered to become a gender. Couldn't make it up
It's sad that people wont say what a woman is in case they are called a bigot because of a small percentage of people. The fact that these people are more afraid of being called a word than standing up for what's right and facts is showing how low the human race has fell and how far being a woman is being set back and our rights are lost once again.
I think it's hilarious how "-ist" and "-phobe" are used like a trump card of shame. People like that can call me what they like, it's not going to change my mind about fundamental truths like biology. "Me: Men cannot be women" "Idealogue: TRANSPHOBE!" "Me: Alright, so I'm a transphobe. Men still can't be women".
I don’t care what they call me. And I don’t accept the T’s in the slightest. They are nothing but d e g e n e r a t e clowns. It is not a tenable position. Call me what you want.

The guest's clarity about fundamental (karotypic) definitions sex, of male and female, is welcome; how incredible that our culture needs to be reminded of this. But when he argues that one can change *gender*, what does he mean? What is the definition of "gender"? If we're going to talk about "trans-gender" people, then we have to know what "gender" is. I'm seeing competing ideas, including that "gender" is some individual feeling of identity, or that gender is just another word for personality traits, or that gender is "a social construct." Can one change their personality traits or change a "social construct" by having the body mutilated? Some people say gender is the same thing as sex, some people say it's not the same thing as sex; why do we use some of the same words to describe gender and sex if they are not the same thing? Gender is the social interpretation of sex. It's the expectations that a culture or society has about behavior, appearance, speech, work or family roles, etc, for men and for women. These expectations differ from one culture to another and within a given culture these expectations change over time, so gender actually is a "social construct" IMO. It's the socially-constructed interpretation of sex, and sex is purely binary, male (having a Y chromosome) or female (lacking a Y chromosome), no other options. So there are exactly two genders, male and female, because there are exactly two sexes, male and female. And since gender is a "social construct", it is NOT what someone feels or says about themselves. Individual assertions of identity are more likely ANTI-social constructs. Some people are uncomfortable with their sex or with what their society says about their sex (i.e. their gender) and seek to alleviate this discomfort by presenting themselves in society as the sex that they are not. People who make this choice should not forfeit basic civility or human dignity but they have no right to expect anyone else to join with them in entertaining a counterfactual pretense. Neither one's sex, which is at the chromosome level, nor one's gender, which is a social statement rather than an individual statement, can be changed. People can dress as they choose, wear makeup or not as they choose, and select names as they choose, but cannot change what they fundamentally are or what society says about what they fundamentally are. Fantasy "genders" other than male or female are a nihilistic disconnection from reality; one can just as rationally assert the power to fly, or to be magic, or to be invisible. These are simply the narcissistic delusions of children who pretend to be exempt from the human condition.
I agree entirely with your interpretation of the matter. In regards to the gender being binary and immutable, I also agree, but let me add my own interpretation of an answer to that particular question. My perception is that the idea of transgender is, to put plainly, that someone has transitioned their gender. Now I would assume that means that they exemplify the common feminine characteristics associated with woman, whether that be through appearance or social interaction. I see no issue with the terms “trans woman” or “trans man”, which accurately portrays the comportment of said being. However, that terminology is supposedly not good enough as many of these people desire the baseline use of woman, rather than the objectively accurate depiction. And therein lies the problem. I believe even the fertility expert himself portrayed them as “woman” instead of “trans woman”, which in my opinion is not accurate or honest to the nature of reality. I agree that gender is not mutable, but people can assume the social normalcies of the opposite gender by which they are born, making them transgender. And to that point gender fluidity between the two sexes has relevance, but provides further social complication. In the end, regardless of their desires to be seen and understood by the totality of society as the other gender, that is not up to them (as you stated). Some people will recognize it, some won’t. Personally, if a trans woman is clearly feminine in nature, appearance, and mannerisms, I am naturally inclined to call them she and would do so without prompting. But they are still a trans woman, not a woman, and that is something I can’t concede. I have taken up a lot of space here, but I would like to pose a question that has come to mind with my own thought on the answer. What about the case of androgynous people that frequently get misgendered due to their undefined characteristics? The mistaken gender is not a new phenomenon, nor has it been a problematic one in the past. The idea that people aren’t allowed to be confused about someone’s gender doesn’t take into account the fact that people have always existed who don’t fit the stereotypical norms of the gender of which they belong. And those people may take offence to the misgendering, but I see that more as a consequence of individuals not displaying the traits that frequent their sex much like what people claiming to be transgender may experience. It is essentially an issue of clarity. In any case, it is up to individuals to decide what to say and how to present themselves to society, and there is no grounds to expect or compel others use the words that they want used. Thank you for your comment. It was a very well phrased and thoughtful description of the topic. Cheers!
Great comment, although I'm not sure that I agree gender is a societally constructed description of the traits associated with men and women. Every (or the vast majority) of animal species have two sexes, male and female. "Man" and "woman" are the names for the human versions of those two physiological states. It's no different to saying that "rooster" and "hen" are the names given for male and female chickens. A by product of the bio chemistry and physiology of those two versions of human that exist primarily to establish a biological role, specifically for the point of parenting is largely why men and women are fundamentally different, and therefore will tend to follow different interests and preferences. These traits we'd usually describe as "masculine" and "feminine". Up until relatively recently (on a universal, rather than human scale), those roles were actually required for fundamental human survival and as our culture and society have developed have just followed on and continued. The "problem" (for want of a better a word) is that the environment for which those roles were required for our survival has radically changed, meaning that most of the situations that required the specific skill set of one or the other either don't exist at all or exist to a lesser degree, especially in the west. Traditionally, men did jobs that were required physical strength and stamina (steel work, farming, construction), whereas women did jobs that required maternal care (nanny, nurse, textile work). These days the vast majority of people work in an office doing administrative, clerical or financial work which can be done by either. All of this means that the boundaries for those traditional roles that find their roots in biological pre-determination have become more and more blurred. I also think that women's rights movements have blurred those roles further which has partly been the cause of this idea that the differences between men and women aren't as large or clear cut as they are. I'm not for a minute saying that male and female equality is a bad thing, particularly given that so many of us are doing the same jobs, but it doesn't take a huge leap of reasoning to realise that if you start with a premise of "men and women aren't different", it doesn't take long to get to, "men can become women and women can become men" if you extrapolate that logic further. Perhaps if we are able to accept that "men can do feminine things" or "there's nothing wrong with a masculine woman", without trying to say that those things don't fundamentally change who and what you are, that will get us to the sort of environment where men who don't feel that they conform to masculine stereotypes don't need to feel that they must be women.
@@SteelR4t I enjoyed reading your interpretation of the issue. So many of todays issues are to the claim that society enforces hard gender lines, which I honestly don’t think has been nearly as prevalent in recent generations as it was historically. We’ve all heard the “man up” or “act like a lady” mentality of fathers in decades past. But instead of using our modern understanding of masculine and feminine temperament variation within every individual to say something along the lines of, “feminine men and masculine woman, although not as typical statistically, are prevalent in society, and their temperaments should be fundamentally respected and forced compliance to a gendered standard dismissed,” a portion of society has decided to take it to the extreme opposite by declaring that feminine men or masculine women SHOULD be recognized as female for the former and male for the latter, disregarding biology entirely. Simultaneously we hear the rhetoric of woman being the oppressed sex while men are inherently seen as the oppressors. One can’t help but think that this rhetorical negligence has aided in promoting people to switch genders or sex (although that is not physically possible). Masculine woman may now believe that changing their identity to male will give them greater opportunity than remaining female since woman are oppressed. A he same time, men who are conditioned to believe that men are oppressive in nature might now change their gender in order to remove themselves from a subset of people that they deem “evil” in a sense. In my opinion, the issue is comes down to how these people view themselves in relation to how they have been taught to see each respective gender. They are personal crises of the self requiring validation from without because of an inability to separate themselves from the irresponsible sweeping generalizations pervading society. Thank you for your thoughtful point of view. Cheers!
@@Christopher-iv6sn Very well put and I totally agree. What you say about women feeling oppressed or men being labelled as toxic I think is absolutely where some of this has come from. For a little while I've held the belief that men who feel ostracised because they don't see themselves as the burly, womanising, physically imposing, beer drinking, stereotypical "man's man", especially in a society where that stereotype has only negative connotations which conveniently forget the positive are far more likely to want to "become" a woman to take themselves out of that negative societal subset. I also think it's highly ironic that a group of people who champion "spectrums" and diversity feel that they still need to confirm to one box or the other, rather than just truly embracing who they are.
@@SteelR4t the irony is astounding to me as well. I would like to also call myself out for a common misconception that even I just perpetuated in my phrasing. I said “fathers of decades past” when referring to the the historical parenting styles that promoted gender extremism. I should have instead said “parents of decades past” as this rhetoric was, and in cases today still is,most certainly prevalent in both mothers and fathers. There was an interesting thread that I came across recently that you may find interesting as it pertains to your last statement of acceptance. It is a relatively recent twitter post chain by a new father. The post starts off with the fathers own admittance that he sees his ideology on gender, that of femininity having superior connotations to masculinity, as a virtue, which is emblematic of the modern trends we see today as well as a directly opposite and equally extreme idea than the “man up” mentality of generations past. As the father raises his newborn son (I believe he is a single father, but could be mistaken), he consistently encourages the use of traditionally feminine clothes, toys, media, etc. by his son and purports it to be virtuous by nature. The son, however, has no interest in the feminine, repeatedly showing preference to classically male products. The example in the thread is toys of farming equipment over dolls, plain t-shirts with cars over fuzzy sweaters with multi-coloured animals. At first the father is devastated, and admits to even fearing that his son is actually prototypically masculine, and therefore will be a bad person. But as time goes on, he comes to realize his flaws in the way he sees his child and instead decides to embrace his son’s temperament as his natural state. The result is a happier son, a happier father, and even a better relationship between father and grandfather as their relationship was strained due to their own differentiations of temperament in todays climate. The story is quite compelling and has a beautiful ending. I commend all people who instead of trying to choose their child’s life choices decide to embrace and nurture the natural inclinations of children instead of vilifying them. Many people today are lost because they were taught that the way they are is either “evil” or “oppressed” when, in my opinion, the only one of those concepts present is coming from the parents themselves. I will try and find a link to the thread and post here when I do. It is worth a read and clearly displays the exact issue we discussed here. All the best to you and yours!
People like Robert Winston give me hope for the House of Lords. He's a thoroughly decent man who probably would not have gone through the toxicity of the political system to get elected, but I'm very glad his temperament and knowledge are in our legislative bodies.
We've got to the stage where sentiment, emotions and feelings are now taking precident over scientific fact. There are folks who think they can create their own bespoke science to suit their own agenda.
If a trans person is missing, and four months later skeletal remains are dug up from the harbor muck. Is it problematic if the police announce that the sex along with the approximate age of the remains if they could belong to the missing trans person? Is it bigoted if the remains turns out to belong to the trans person then? Should the Police not announce the sex of the remains in an effort to figure out who it is?
You change gender but not sex? Not sure I agree on changing gender, seems like an attempt to offer some kind of compromise. Is it fair to say that sex = male/female and gender = man/woman? Well what about boy/girl? Is a boy a different gender to a man? If gender refers to typical characteristics associated with a particular sex, such as men having short hair and women wearing dresses, how far can one lean into those other characteristics to be considered to be of that gender? If an adult human female has short hair is she a man? Or does she (or he, as the case may be) have to wear trousers too? If I dress up as Amy Winehouse for a few hours on Halloween am I temporarily a woman? Would it be fair to say that I actually am Amy Winehouse for a few hours?
Yeah, it is an attempt for compromise. I've seen no proof yet that they are different things. Changing the perception of your gender/sex doesn't mean you actually change it.
Yeah, the professor was contradicting his own definition considering he based his on chromosomes and you can't change those by mutilating your body. Also, Piers forgets an important word in the definition of a woman, it's a "HUMAN female adult". If you only use "female adult", this can apply to an important number of mammals which we never call women.
The one thing about this whole debate I find the most (read: "hypocritical, counter-intuitive and ridiculous") is that many people who identify as "trans" trot out the belief that "gender is a social construct" and they don't want to confirm to heteronormative stereotypes. If you are a man, and don't feel you align with those male stereotypes to such an extent that you want make yourself look like a woman, isn't that just affirming those stereotypes that you're so upset about? If you REALLY don't want to conform to gender stereotypes, then stay as you are and just be who you are without mutilating yourself to change from one predetermined box to another one.
Firstly the difference between gender and sex was clear from the very beginning. I dont know why on this interview they say trans people are confusing that. They and conservatives are the ones who are confusing that. The use of word "woman" is being always used in the gender sense as he explained and people on this comment agree. Secondly, is not up to us to tell people how they want to express themselves in this world. Period.some people choose to express themselves through religion.
@@geha9450 Well done for completely missing the point, but I'll answer yours in any case. Firstly, I'm not suggesting people can't choose how to express themselves. It's when the compel other people to recognise it at the expense of their rights and or against logical reason and basic biological fact. Secondly, whilst woman is a gender, gender and sex are the same thing. If you are an adult human female, you are a woman. If you're an adult human male, you're a man. As the professor said in the interview a man who has surgery to alter his appearence to be more like a woman, and has more feminine traits, that does not make him a woman, which ever way you spin it. So please, cut the "anything anyone says they are is their right of expression" nonsense. I have no idea at all what the hell conservatism or religion has anything to do with this conversation, so that point makes no sense either.
@@SteelR4t my point is that forget the biological aspects of it on the video . (which by the way is wrong) You accept people who want to express their role in world as Christians or Muslims or etc. Why then not accepting someone who wants to express him or herself in another gender. Why is that bad? Nobody is telling that trans people are biologically women. The word woman is used on the social, gender meaning. Of you prefer to call them trans go ahead but then don't tell me gender is not a spectrum
@@geha9450 Gender is not a spectrum. And the fact you are telling me a world leading biologist is wrong about biology is typical of the idiocy people like you expect everyone else to accept, not to mention its blind arrogance. The word woman means "adult human female". It has nothing whatsoever to do with socially recognised feminine traits. You can be a feminine man, that does not make you a woman. You can be a masculine woman, that does not make you a man. Whilst there are of course different levels of masculinity or femininity in men and women, those two words describe their biology, not their self perception, or those traits that are usually associated with one sex / gender or the other. (Notice I put gender and sex together.. that was intentional. The two words are synonymous. I don't care if you don't believe that's true. That's your perogative.. you're still wrong.
The word 'Woman' is not used as a social word. The word Woman is clearly defined as: 'an adult human Female'. Males are not Females/Women. Feminine Males exist. We need to expand the Male category.
The mistake they made was saying we conflate sex and gender, what people are really doing is conflating gender with personality. Gender is just a semantic term applying only to language. there are 2 sexes and over 7 billion personalities in our human population at present, this is why the trans activists insist that gender is a spectrum, what they are describing is the myriad differences between each human individual's personality, not their gender, gender should just be synonymous with sex as it used to be, that's one of the evil's of modern leftist tactics, they change language to confuse people to suit their revolutionary narrative, just like newspeak was used in George Orwell's novel 1984.
@Pharisee Spotter What did you mean by that load of gobbledygoop? Gender has always been synonymous with sex. You are guilty of the leftist plot to make words meaningless (and consequently make the truth subjective rather than objective) by blathering a lot of clever sounding nonsense to confuse us simple but honest folk into believing what you newspeak talkers have to say. 1984 wasn't meant to be a textbook, it was meant as a warning.
@@zorls Silly people arguing over what a word "means the them". All words have definitions. Look it up. Gender is not defined as being related to sex. Sex is defined by shape and function, while gender is a societal role that can change. Simply, you are either male or female, if you put your pinky finger out while drinking champagne that does not change sex, but it might change how people view your gender.
the other side of the coin also- people in sport who were born genetically female and transitioning to male have an unfair disadvantage as they didn’t go through male puberty
But these people are competing in sports and winning everything. In fact it would be quite the opposite so they won't even bother. The only people doing this are men.
Females delay their transition, so they can continue to play on the Women's team. Most Females don't qualify for the Mens team. My son played High school sports. If you not in top 20 on the track team, swim team, tennis team you don't qualify to be on the team. Most Females are not in the top 20 range and can't make the Boys/Mens teams.
The estrogen Males are the ones who cry all the time. If you don't validate them as a passable woman. And if you call them 'sir' they have a complete meltdown.
A woman is an adult human female… and since you can’t change your sex you then can’t change your gender as it is inextricably linked to sex (though I would argue the idea of gender separate from sex is wholly ridiculous and unnecessary)
Imagine doctors amputating healthy organs to further confuse people when the job of a doctor is to help them. Cutting off a man's genitals and then cutting out a section of his Colon to make a passage that resembles a vagina is completely sick and should not be allowed. This leaves the man with genitals that smells of poo. I heard a story from a young man who was left in this position and now he's been watched 24/7 because he wants to commit suicide. He actually believe the operation was going to make him feel like a woman and he would be happy. Instead he sad and smells of poo all the time. These doctors should in prison.
i don't think many trans people agree about competing with cis people in sport, though. it shouldn't happen anyway because it's akin to taking steroids.
When push comes to shove White trans drop “trans” and try to be White. It is called “hiding in the closet”. It is cowardly but I don’t expect bravely from people not brave enough to recognize their own gender. Blacks trans are the same but get treated no different for they are still Black.
No problem, just base sports categories on sex, not on gender. So make 2 categories, XX and XY and allow both XY men and XY women in the XY category and the same for XX. That way nobody is questioning your choice of gender but sports are still fair.
@@jondoe7936 Well the fact that if you took your own DNA after a "transition" and made a clone, that clone would be your actual sex STILL! I quote transition because the reality is mutilation. A modern day willing eunuch!
I agree except for that you still can’t change your gender. Cutting off your breasts doesn’t make you man. What about a very petite woman who barely has breasts? What about women with a double mastectomy? Are they all of sudden a man?! Ludicrous.
@@hippychick4583 but all anyone really cares about is biological sex. All I care about is which of the two biological sexes you belong to. The xx chromosome category or the xy category. Sports, public bathrooms, etc. use this system to determine who is allowed to take part in what. Replace the female universal washroom sign with simply XX and do the same for male bathrooms with XY. Enter the one that applies to you. Why is THAT so difficult to comprehend? Whether you chop your tits off, dye your hair purple or prance around in high heels sporting a beard is irrelevant.
These people never get the real theraphy they need. Instead they pump them up with hormones and give them experimental plastic surgeries. They mutilate them and can't provide any replacement sex organs. They leave them with scars and wrong sex hormones.
Yesterday I was traveling along the NJ turnpike. Walking out of the ladies room as I was walking in was a hairy-assed MAN. He wore shorts, a tank top, had short cut hair. I was FURIOUS! He had absolutely ZERO feminine qualities - he wasn't even trying to appear female.
Ugh. I used to argue with my parents about the trans bathroom thing, saying that it was going to start and stop with trans women who just wanted to pee. How naïve and wrong I clearly was. It is absolutely appalling to see where this has all traveled.
@@RoaringMind the irony was, as I was waiting in line, I said no one in their right mind would want to become a woman and have to wait in long lines. He proved me wrong.
It has always been accepted that for competition in certain sports to be fair, women would only compete with women and men with men. We now have para-Olympics which recognise that physical handicaps should also be factored into the equation. So why not simply introduce a third category for trans-sportspeople?
Because it's about validation not fairness. Not putting transwomen with women is viewed as heresy because "they are women" (but notice transmen seem more than comfortable still being on women's teams). Since they'll never admit women get the short end of the stick in this exchange (forced to compete with women on T or men born with it) due to "feelings" the aim is to beat down the female category by force or with guilt. It's the most blatant manipulative bull I've ever witnessed allowed to be pushed by the powers that be. Most people would say just let them get their own category like women did, like the differently abled did, but it was never about finding their own place to begin with. The nature of the current movement is invasive to the core. This group isn't being led by the trans folk of years gone by who want their own place and are aware of their biology. They don't even recognize sex anymore.
@@sianais I do agree with you. To be honest I was really "calling their bluff". First there would be very few people competing in that category because I believe trans-people are a tiny minority - it's the "woke" lot that have jumped on their bandwagon to give THEMSELVES a cause - in other words to make themselves seem important. Second, as you so rightly pointed out transwomen might be happy competing against transmen, but the reverse would certainly not be true!! They'd finish up still dividing sports competition by sex, just the wrong way round. This is a pretty good summing up of the gender issue. th-cam.com/video/zDC4yNIDX3s/w-d-xo.html
Sex = gender, and we've known this for a long time now. It's the very reason the roles we're expected to play based solely on our biological sex are called "gender roles" to begin with. This professor seems to be defining gender by some arbitrary list of sex characteristics, which is very odd, but not as odd as what those who are pushing transgenderism have said.
Gender according to some universities is more of a state of mind. Basically what you do and how you think determines your gender, (taking stereotypical traits from society weither feminine or masculine will determine your gender in theory) I for one disagree with the notion out right. I understand how this thing came to be and the plight of what is being attempted, but by these means of doing so will only lead to destruction by way of confusion.
@Lil' Pumpkin 🎃 it's not necessary according to some universities. Every individual has a reason for getting surgery, in my opinion its to fit in with the stereotypical image of a women ( considering that most people "see" women as women) Again in my opinion its all confusion and hypocrisy, it's all emotional bullshit.
@@darklaw7766 yes of course, I personally don't subscribe to the ideal of gender "identity" what you are and who you are, are 2 different things. This whole gender identity thing came about when society started to define men and women based on feminine or masculine traits and actions. Some people don't want to conform to a stereotypical ideal of a women or man by societies standards which go beyond "what" a person is (in my opinion)
yet people are not arguing that sex can be changed. gender is social, sex is biological. if you see someone and assume they are a woman (whatever that means to you, even if you are extremely conservative and only define woman as biological female) you will treat that woman as you do "women," in general, because of how you socially perceive them. we do not treat people based on what their birth certificates say, do we? we go based on our gut. or let's say someone looks 12, and you treat them as such, until you find out they are actually 24, you will talk to them like a child. they were biologically 24 the whole time, but you don't start treating them differently till you that information and start seeing them as a 24 year old. socially, they were 12 up until the moment you started treating them like a 24 year old, even if biologically, they were 24 all along. if this person dresses and acts like a 12 year old intentionally, they are now deliberately wanting the world to treat them as 12 socially. who cares what their reasons are, the point is that the way you treat them is different than a doctor treats them because sex and gender are different. so, back to the woman/man concept: if you realize later that the woman is "actually a man" then you will start treating them different, as either you do a man or as a trans woman, depending on how you see them. so, the way you treated this person when you THOUGHT they were a woman IS what gender is. this is what gender means. how we treat each other and expectations we have about each other SOCIALLY based on gender roles and assumptions. not biologically. all these right wing mouths who keep bringing up the biological aspects are proving that they are missing the point of the debate. plus this guy says elon musk is not a biologist.. again focusing the conversation on chromazomal differences when that is not the point. when people bring up "oh what about sports though" they are focusing on one specific place where things are grey and using that to block people's rights in every other aspect of life. who care about sports, sports are the not a core important aspect of life and liberty. plus, we separate men and women based on ability. the real problem is that we should have unisex physical divisions rather than sex based divisions. i mean look at the NBA: the average height of a player is 6'6". that's crazy, that's almost a foot taller than the average male height. yet no one complains we should divide the nba to make it fair for the 99% of men who are not born extra tall. i don't mean to say we need to allow trans athletes in female sport, i mean that if someone is basing their arguments against non-biological women on sports representation, why are they not instead focusing on the actual rules governing the actual sport? and by the way, if you look at how trans women IN sport compete, they overwhelmingly do NOT dominate over female women... so the data even shows that if we are to ban anything, it should instead be a trait that seems to predict dominance in a sport, and not fear of the sexes intermingling. and also obviously cavemen did not know anything about chromozomal makeup between the sexes. i assume she meant to say that cavemen did not have the distinction between men and women, and males and female. and that's also inaccurate. many cultures dating back to before written history have concepts of 3rd gender, or of males/females taking on the traditional roles of each other in society. since gender is a social construct, it changes over time, and our ancestors could and did see it very differently, and in many different ways over the millenia.
" i assume she meant to say that cavemen did not have the distinction between men and women, and males and female." You assume wrongly. She meant "cavemen" knew who was a woman and who was a man by looking.
@@SilverSixpence888 she said (paraphrased, sorry i cant play the video and have the comments open at once so i am trying my beat to quote her) "it pains me that people dont know what a woman is, even caveman knew what a woman is". her inference here is that cavemen did not distinguish between gender and sex, as if they are one and the same, further suggesting that this correlation is so basic as for our ancestors to understand it. this is the premise i countered in my comment.
The word "Gender" is derived from the Latin root meaning "to beget; to procreate; to generate; to create; to produce." The Principle of Gender: "Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles; Gender manifests on all planes." This Principle embodies the truth that there is GENDER manifested in everything--the Masculine and Feminine Principles ever at work. This is true not only of the Physical Plane, but of the Mental and even the Spiritual Planes. On the Physical Plane, the Principle manifests as SEX, on the higher planes it takes higher forms, but the Principle is ever the same. No creation, physical, mental or spiritual, is possible without this Principle. An understanding of its laws will throw light on many a subject that has perplexed the minds of men. The Principle of Gender works ever in the direction of generation, regeneration, and creation. Everything, and every person, contains the two Elements or Principles, or this great Principle, within it, him or her. Every Male thing has the Female Element also; every Female contains also the Male Principle. If you would understand the philosophy of Mental and Spiritual Creation, Generation, and Re-generation, you must understand and study this Hermetic Principle. It contains the solution of many mysteries of Life. We caution you that this Principle has no reference to the many base, pernicious and degrading lustful theories, teachings and practices, which are taught under fanciful titles, and which are a prostitution of the great natural principle of Gender. Such base revivals of the ancient infamous forms of Phallicism tend to ruin mind, body and soul, and the Hermetic Philosophy has ever sounded the warning note against these degraded teachings which tend toward lust, licentiousness, and perversion of Nature's principles. If you seek such teachings, you must go elsewhere for them--Hermeticism contains nothing for you along these lines. To the pure, all things are pure; to the base, all things are base. --The Kybalion. .
Sex and gender are interchangeable terms. Always have been. It’s only this group of attention seekers that claim it not to be so they can live in a fantasy world.
Brilliant doctor! Church of England is a so weak and allowing odd things to happen in their church. I am a woman and will try to explain myself scientifically to those that disrespect my womanhood.
Amazing he is clearly gender critical cuz he defined the operation a mutilating. I love him. The question isnt can you change sex. The question is 'is gender more important than sex'. The answer is no.
It's actually not necessarily showing a bias, as the word mutilation, by the dictionary definition, fits perfectly to describe gender reassignment. You're nit merely modifying something, but destroying it. The trans crowd love to complain at that word but it really is the right word.
Thank you very much again Piers. It’s simple: even if you change the shape of your body and/ or claim to be a woman you will never be one. It is not true you are… from any point of view, not only biological. Or, for example, what does it mean to have a “woman’s soul"? If you are not one, if you have never been one, what can you possibly know anything about it? About a woman’s soul? Trans people have to find their own place without taking out our place, our space. It was too hard for us women to achieve ours. I don’t even understand how we’re possibly having this debate... Nothing seems more misogynistic to me that a man can be considered a better woman than a woman, ever! or… that I say that I am a woman, being really a woman, may bother someone?!! This kind of thing can only be coming from anti-women people…
@@friedchicken4735 You speak as if you are trying to protect children. Like you are the heroes and the liberals are mentally ill people forcing misinformation down the throats of vulnerable impressionable kids. Oh no!! We must save the poor children!! This is because you have spent to much time in a conservative echo chamber. You need to get out more and read a little of the literature from the other side of the debate. You're clearly ignorant because teaching children about the reality of society is exactly how it should be. Children can and will make up their own mind and there are just as many conservatives polluting their minds, like yours has been polluted, with hateful bigotry, so I wouldn't be too concerned.
Funny how people said we couldn’t say what a woman was unless we were a biologist, and then a biologist agreed with what we were saying, that a woman is an adult human female.
It is so fascinating to me at least, that all fetuses start out as female, then the fetus either becomes male or doesn’t. So in a way, all men were women (at least in the womb, and only fetally)
Stop! that is ignorant and it is nonsense. The body has instructions called “how to build a human”. Every instruction on every page needs to be followed. Some people have pages missing and the body keeps going as if it has all of the instructions when it doesn’t. Being a male vs being a female are two different instruction manuals.

Exactly! These gender roles are ingrained in our genetics since cave man days. I resent it when young Millennials today think they can reinvent all that & make up several other genders or non genders. It’s like a massive scheme to brainwash society to test just how dumb people are so they can make some believe anything they tell us. I believe that’s all it is, a way to see how controllable the people are. Frightening too, that the Norwegian lady is threatened with prison for explaining the biological impossibility of changing your gender. That’s in another video, I believe by Fox News.
I'm guessing cavemen also never believed in a god until intangible ideas become valuable to morons! lol
How can any religious person criticize when it uses the same foundation of belief. The hypocrisy is hilarious and no believer even understands how they've been played their entire lives!
No. These folks don’t let nature, reality nor religion get in the way of their agenda. They are okay doing super mental gymnastics and selling delusions. They know it is 🐄 💩 but hoping that if you feed people it they start to believe it.

Brilliant comment by her!
"Gender" is simply a word that was commonly used synonymously with "sex", in order to avoid confusion with "sex" as an action.
It's derived from the latin word "genus" which literally means "kind", "type", "sort".
It has the exact same meaning as biological sex, and has only recently been used in it's perversity to describe individual depravities.
And it just happens that in the English language there were two words for sex. That's not the case in other languages - there is normally just one word that means biological sex. That's why the whole asinine gender ideology comes from the English-speaking word. It is, of course, a very recent phenomena and people started giving a different meaning to the word gender only in the 20th century, but at least in English one could say "my sex is male, but my gender is female, therefore I'm a female". Of course it's nonsensical, but in other languages one can't even do that. Translators trying to translate the insanity coming from the English-speaking world usually have to resort to using carbon copies of the English word gender, as there is no other way to translate the nonsense from English.
As a student (20 years ago!) I was corrected by a senior for using the word ‘gender’ to describe men and women. “Use the word ‘sex’,” she said, “Gender is a grammatical word used predominantly in other languages. People have a sex but not a gender.”
And anyone who says otherwise is gaslighting. Look at the term's usage in practically every single medium until very recently: video games, novels, news articles, etc. It's a synonym for sex, and "biological sex" is redundant.
And anyone who gaslights you on this is evil and must be handled accordingly.
You narrow minded bigot! Don't you think it's a bit racist to ascribe words to particular languages? What if the word 'genus' identifies as Māori or French?
John Money is the person who took the word gender from grammar and applied it to people. People don't have gender, words do.
I agree with him. I am fed up with people catering to woke, pandering to woke fools..Last year I was asked by a Canadian census taker if I was the same sex as when I was born.. certainly I said and thoroughly disgusted by government asking me such a stupid question.
Wow what an unbelievable stupid question that is,these people are dangerous delusional.
I was asked that as well in the Scottish cenus and if i was straight or gay which i thought was intrusive also.
A person who was over 60 years old and a Male was asked whether he was pregnant, when he refused to answer such a stupid question he was not allowed to give blood which is why he was at the place.
@Pharisee Spotter No he looked what he was an Man over 60 years old. When he questioned the reason for asking this daft question he was told that they had to ask everyone. It seems common sense have been given the boot in favour of the daft agenda we have now. Besides Men cannot get pregnant only Women have that ability.
As a Canadian - living in woke Toronto no less - l applaud your response to the census taker 👏👏👏

@@nanoobis Ugh, this is why we’re in such a mess when discussing this topic. Trust me, nobody was confused about this prior to the 1960s. People had a sex. That’s what they filled in on forms. But then “gender theory” took off in the social sciences, causing much confusion, hence why the words are often used as synonyms when they’re really not.
Professor Winston is correct. Sex is his field. Gender is the woo-woo that came from social science, from people like Professor John Money (look up his dreadful experiment on David Reimer).
The confusion is what enabled them to make such progress. People are scared to talk about biological sex because they’d be attacked as though they were insulting their sacred cow of gender.

Piers is attempting to make his transphobic view more legitimate by recruiting scientist who happen to share in his ideology. This is not a scientific question but this is how Morgan is trying to frame it.

Even though I failed biology many years ago I think I took with me a grasp of the basic facts. I do get confused with gender. For me I always thought gender was just another way of referring to someone's biological sex. Sociologists use the word gender to refer to male or female sex norms. So I've always thought I fully understood the concept of gender. So if you can't change your biological sex (which you definitely can't) then you can't change your gender because your gender is your biological sex... You can dress and act like you think a woman is (if you're a man) but of course you don't then become a woman. And no one should be expected to address or think of you as a woman. You're just a man who likes the idea of being a woman. And I'm baffled as to what a man means when he says he identifies inside as a woman. I've actually never heard a clear explanation of how what it is a man feels that makes him think he's having the sort of feelings only women have. I mean what feelings does he have that he thinks aren't attributed to his male sex. Being a man shouldn't limit how you can feel and act. You can be sensitive and whatever other stereotype of being what a female is supposed to be. So in conclusion I think the word gender is a very simple thing to grasp and when applied to humans it should just be male or female. Any other type of gender is just a meaningless made up word. Same for being gender fluid which is nonsense. I'd happily accept trans women if they just said they were a man but they would rather dress and act like a woman because it just feels right for them. But when they insist that they are a real woman I have to disagree. Thank you for your time.
It seems to me that gender is nothing other than someone's proclivity to conform to sexist gender stereotypes. This is why I think the trans phenomenon is so regressive. If a female doesn't identify with the female stereotypes, more and more of them are identifying as trans men rather than simply being a female that doesn't confirm to gender stereotypes. This completely undoes all the work that has been done to break down stereotypes and promote equality of the sexes.
I totally agree with what you said, and in fact I've written many similar posts. Especially the part about what does it mean when a man says " I feel like a woman." No-one has ever explained what they mean by that?? I think actually that we should get rid or the word "gender!" Gender is a social construct and it seems if you "identify, act and dress like a woman" that makes your "gender" a woman!!
Biological sex is immutable. So why even have such a bullshit word as gender?? Just use "male and female, man and woman." Simple!!
I totally agree with your closing statement: "I'd happily accept trans women if they just said they were a man but they would rather dress and act like a woman because it just feels right for them. But when they insist that they are a real woman I have to disagree."
Yeah, just because I say " I feel like I'm a dog", and then I get a tail surgically sewn on to my ass, and paint my nose black, that doesn't make me a dog does it??
@@mikthe2004 Good points. I've only really started to think about these things over the last few weeks. Gender was no big deal awhile back. I don't know how long but say 10 years ago. It was just a simple term to refer to if you were male or female. I was always aware of gender norms as I studied sociology. So there are a lot of what you could call stereotypes of behaviour and feelings associated with gender. I remember when I was studying this that I thought a lot of it was nonsense or that I didn't identify with some of the male stereotypes. I identified often with some of the female gender stereotypes. But I didn't want to rebel against being labelled male. But now young, vulnerable and questioning young people see that they have more choices of gender to identify with that they think identifies them more. But all these new genders seem to me to be meaningless. I really hate the non-binary gender a lot of people now choose to identify themselves with. How cool it is to be neither male or female or male one day and female the other! Crazy nonsense... When I was young and studying sociology I knew that so many things defined who I was and they were nothing to do with gender or biological sex. Like memories and experiences and my own unique thoughts. But also I knew I had common feelings that all sexes surely had, that unite both biological sexes in a common humanity. I suppose we still need the two genders of male and female because they are useful for defining biological sexes. Part of me wants to just forget all about these issues as they make me angry. But they are popping up in the media all the time now and often it's just plain madness and people are being bullied or shamed or threatened into going along with it and not criticising it.
@@marlowemarlowe4893 You're absolutely right. Most people don't realize that sex and gender are not the same thing.
The definition of gender is : "The state of being male or female as expressed by social or cultural distinctions and differences, rather than biological ones, the collective attributes or traits associated with a particular sex, or determined as a result of one's sex."
No-one can change their sex - it's immutable. But you can change your gender simply by self identifying as the opposite sex.
Lots of people - myself included - have a problem with that.
If I put on a dog suit, and get a tail surgically sewn on my ass, am I a dog?? Obviously not.
But a man putting on a dress, styling his hair a certain way, acting like a woman, and calling himself a woman means we all have to accept him as a woman - and going by the definition of "gender" she is right!!
The problem is that 600 years ago, when the word gender was invented, it probably meant the same as sex?
Now gender has evolved - especially recently - to mean something else.
I actually believe we don't even need the word gender? I think we have evolved way past the sexual stereotypes that existed when the word came to mean what is does now??
I'm like you. All this talk about genders drives me nuts!! LOL!!
Do we even need the word gender?? Apart from giving transgender people a word to hang their ideology on, is there any other purpose for the word?? Couldn't we just use the word "Sex" instead?? Wouldn't it make things a whole lot simpler??
What do you think??
For example: NY City now has on their drivers licence 3 Gender choices. Man, Woman and "Other"!! (WTF is "Other?")
Would it not be better instead to have 2 Sex Choices - Male, Female? Doesn't that make things a lot clearer??
Not only clearer, but a lot more factual??
@@mikthe2004 This is why the definition of "gender" has no science behind it. You can alter and change it as you please, and it depends on culture and norms. Also, why do "gender confused" people want to alter their appearance so they can look like the opposite SEX? For me, it's just biology. Do what you want, express yourself the way you want. But you are either male or female and you cannot change that.

These clowns are getting exactly what they want. People questioning basic unrefutable facts that never been questioned in human history. This is how they are able to open the door and invite in their views and opinions and either change the fact or add fiction to them. The best way to deal with to these clowns is to ignore them and those who are pushing their nonsense on the rest of society.
And the constant criticism of science........until they need science in the form of hormones and surgery.

The fact that these people are more afraid of being called a word than standing up for what's right and facts is showing how low the human race has fell and how far being a woman is being set back and our rights are lost once again.

I'm so glad to see your number of subscribers rising, Piers. It's not surprising of course & l love your show. You have a rare courage.
The guest's clarity about fundamental (karotypic) definitions sex, of male and female, is welcome; how incredible that our culture needs to be reminded of this.
But when he argues that one can change *gender*, what does he mean? What is the definition of "gender"? If we're going to talk about "trans-gender" people, then we have to know what "gender" is. I'm seeing competing ideas, including that "gender" is some individual feeling of identity, or that gender is just another word for personality traits, or that gender is "a social construct." Can one change their personality traits or change a "social construct" by having the body mutilated? Some people say gender is the same thing as sex, some people say it's not the same thing as sex; why do we use some of the same words to describe gender and sex if they are not the same thing?
Gender is the social interpretation of sex. It's the expectations that a culture or society has about behavior, appearance, speech, work or family roles, etc, for men and for women. These expectations differ from one culture to another and within a given culture these expectations change over time, so gender actually is a "social construct" IMO.
It's the socially-constructed interpretation of sex, and sex is purely binary, male (having a Y chromosome) or female (lacking a Y chromosome), no other options. So there are exactly two genders, male and female, because there are exactly two sexes, male and female. And since gender is a "social construct", it is NOT what someone feels or says about themselves. Individual assertions of identity are more likely ANTI-social constructs.
Some people are uncomfortable with their sex or with what their society says about their sex (i.e. their gender) and seek to alleviate this discomfort by presenting themselves in society as the sex that they are not. People who make this choice should not forfeit basic civility or human dignity but they have no right to expect anyone else to join with them in entertaining a counterfactual pretense. Neither one's sex, which is at the chromosome level, nor one's gender, which is a social statement rather than an individual statement, can be changed. People can dress as they choose, wear makeup or not as they choose, and select names as they choose, but cannot change what they fundamentally are or what society says about what they fundamentally are.
Fantasy "genders" other than male or female are a nihilistic disconnection from reality; one can just as rationally assert the power to fly, or to be magic, or to be invisible. These are simply the narcissistic delusions of children who pretend to be exempt from the human condition.
I agree entirely with your interpretation of the matter. In regards to the gender being binary and immutable, I also agree, but let me add my own interpretation of an answer to that particular question.
My perception is that the idea of transgender is, to put plainly, that someone has transitioned their gender. Now I would assume that means that they exemplify the common feminine characteristics associated with woman, whether that be through appearance or social interaction.
I see no issue with the terms “trans woman” or “trans man”, which accurately portrays the comportment of said being. However, that terminology is supposedly not good enough as many of these people desire the baseline use of woman, rather than the objectively accurate depiction. And therein lies the problem.
I believe even the fertility expert himself portrayed them as “woman” instead of “trans woman”, which in my opinion is not accurate or honest to the nature of reality.
I agree that gender is not mutable, but people can assume the social normalcies of the opposite gender by which they are born, making them transgender. And to that point gender fluidity between the two sexes has relevance, but provides further social complication.
In the end, regardless of their desires to be seen and understood by the totality of society as the other gender, that is not up to them (as you stated). Some people will recognize it, some won’t. Personally, if a trans woman is clearly feminine in nature, appearance, and mannerisms, I am naturally inclined to call them she and would do so without prompting. But they are still a trans woman, not a woman, and that is something I can’t concede.
I have taken up a lot of space here, but I would like to pose a question that has come to mind with my own thought on the answer.
What about the case of androgynous people that frequently get misgendered due to their undefined characteristics? The mistaken gender is not a new phenomenon, nor has it been a problematic one in the past. The idea that people aren’t allowed to be confused about someone’s gender doesn’t take into account the fact that people have always existed who don’t fit the stereotypical norms of the gender of which they belong. And those people may take offence to the misgendering, but I see that more as a consequence of individuals not displaying the traits that frequent their sex much like what people claiming to be transgender may experience. It is essentially an issue of clarity.
In any case, it is up to individuals to decide what to say and how to present themselves to society, and there is no grounds to expect or compel others use the words that they want used.
Thank you for your comment. It was a very well phrased and thoughtful description of the topic.
Cheers!
Great comment, although I'm not sure that I agree gender is a societally constructed description of the traits associated with men and women. Every (or the vast majority) of animal species have two sexes, male and female. "Man" and "woman" are the names for the human versions of those two physiological states. It's no different to saying that "rooster" and "hen" are the names given for male and female chickens.
A by product of the bio chemistry and physiology of those two versions of human that exist primarily to establish a biological role, specifically for the point of parenting is largely why men and women are fundamentally different, and therefore will tend to follow different interests and preferences. These traits we'd usually describe as "masculine" and "feminine".
Up until relatively recently (on a universal, rather than human scale), those roles were actually required for fundamental human survival and as our culture and society have developed have just followed on and continued.
The "problem" (for want of a better a word) is that the environment for which those roles were required for our survival has radically changed, meaning that most of the situations that required the specific skill set of one or the other either don't exist at all or exist to a lesser degree, especially in the west. Traditionally, men did jobs that were required physical strength and stamina (steel work, farming, construction), whereas women did jobs that required maternal care (nanny, nurse, textile work). These days the vast majority of people work in an office doing administrative, clerical or financial work which can be done by either.
All of this means that the boundaries for those traditional roles that find their roots in biological pre-determination have become more and more blurred. I also think that women's rights movements have blurred those roles further which has partly been the cause of this idea that the differences between men and women aren't as large or clear cut as they are. I'm not for a minute saying that male and female equality is a bad thing, particularly given that so many of us are doing the same jobs, but it doesn't take a huge leap of reasoning to realise that if you start with a premise of "men and women aren't different", it doesn't take long to get to, "men can become women and women can become men" if you extrapolate that logic further.
Perhaps if we are able to accept that "men can do feminine things" or "there's nothing wrong with a masculine woman", without trying to say that those things don't fundamentally change who and what you are, that will get us to the sort of environment where men who don't feel that they conform to masculine stereotypes don't need to feel that they must be women.
@@SteelR4t I enjoyed reading your interpretation of the issue. So many of todays issues are to the claim that society enforces hard gender lines, which I honestly don’t think has been nearly as prevalent in recent generations as it was historically.
We’ve all heard the “man up” or “act like a lady” mentality of fathers in decades past. But instead of using our modern understanding of masculine and feminine temperament variation within every individual to say something along the lines of, “feminine men and masculine woman, although not as typical statistically, are prevalent in society, and their temperaments should be fundamentally respected and forced compliance to a gendered standard dismissed,” a portion of society has decided to take it to the extreme opposite by declaring that feminine men or masculine women SHOULD be recognized as female for the former and male for the latter, disregarding biology entirely.
Simultaneously we hear the rhetoric of woman being the oppressed sex while men are inherently seen as the oppressors.
One can’t help but think that this rhetorical negligence has aided in promoting people to switch genders or sex (although that is not physically possible). Masculine woman may now believe that changing their identity to male will give them greater opportunity than remaining female since woman are oppressed. A he same time, men who are conditioned to believe that men are oppressive in nature might now change their gender in order to remove themselves from a subset of people that they deem “evil” in a sense.
In my opinion, the issue is comes down to how these people view themselves in relation to how they have been taught to see each respective gender. They are personal crises of the self requiring validation from without because of an inability to separate themselves from the irresponsible sweeping generalizations pervading society.
Thank you for your thoughtful point of view.
Cheers!
@@Christopher-iv6sn Very well put and I totally agree. What you say about women feeling oppressed or men being labelled as toxic I think is absolutely where some of this has come from. For a little while I've held the belief that men who feel ostracised because they don't see themselves as the burly, womanising, physically imposing, beer drinking, stereotypical "man's man", especially in a society where that stereotype has only negative connotations which conveniently forget the positive are far more likely to want to "become" a woman to take themselves out of that negative societal subset.
I also think it's highly ironic that a group of people who champion "spectrums" and diversity feel that they still need to confirm to one box or the other, rather than just truly embracing who they are.
@@SteelR4t the irony is astounding to me as well.
I would like to also call myself out for a common misconception that even I just perpetuated in my phrasing. I said “fathers of decades past” when referring to the the historical parenting styles that promoted gender extremism. I should have instead said “parents of decades past” as this rhetoric was, and in cases today still is,most certainly prevalent in both mothers and fathers.
There was an interesting thread that I came across recently that you may find interesting as it pertains to your last statement of acceptance. It is a relatively recent twitter post chain by a new father.
The post starts off with the fathers own admittance that he sees his ideology on gender, that of femininity having superior connotations to masculinity, as a virtue, which is emblematic of the modern trends we see today as well as a directly opposite and equally extreme idea than the “man up” mentality of generations past.
As the father raises his newborn son (I believe he is a single father, but could be mistaken), he consistently encourages the use of traditionally feminine clothes, toys, media, etc. by his son and purports it to be virtuous by nature. The son, however, has no interest in the feminine, repeatedly showing preference to classically male products. The example in the thread is toys of farming equipment over dolls, plain t-shirts with cars over fuzzy sweaters with multi-coloured animals.
At first the father is devastated, and admits to even fearing that his son is actually prototypically masculine, and therefore will be a bad person. But as time goes on, he comes to realize his flaws in the way he sees his child and instead decides to embrace his son’s temperament as his natural state. The result is a happier son, a happier father, and even a better relationship between father and grandfather as their relationship was strained due to their own differentiations of temperament in todays climate.
The story is quite compelling and has a beautiful ending. I commend all people who instead of trying to choose their child’s life choices decide to embrace and nurture the natural inclinations of children instead of vilifying them. Many people today are lost because they were taught that the way they are is either “evil” or “oppressed” when, in my opinion, the only one of those concepts present is coming from the parents themselves.
I will try and find a link to the thread and post here when I do. It is worth a read and clearly displays the exact issue we discussed here.
All the best to you and yours!

If a trans person is missing, and four months later skeletal remains are dug up from the harbor muck. Is it problematic if the police announce that the sex along with the approximate age of the remains if they could belong to the missing trans person? Is it bigoted if the remains turns out to belong to the trans person then? Should the Police not announce the sex of the remains in an effort to figure out who it is?
You took the words out of my mouth
Was thinking the same
You change gender but not sex?
Not sure I agree on changing gender, seems like an attempt to offer some kind of compromise.
Is it fair to say that sex = male/female and gender = man/woman?
Well what about boy/girl? Is a boy a different gender to a man?
If gender refers to typical characteristics associated with a particular sex, such as men having short hair and women wearing dresses, how far can one lean into those other characteristics to be considered to be of that gender?
If an adult human female has short hair is she a man? Or does she (or he, as the case may be) have to wear trousers too?
If I dress up as Amy Winehouse for a few hours on Halloween am I temporarily a woman? Would it be fair to say that I actually am Amy Winehouse for a few hours?
Yeah, it is an attempt for compromise. I've seen no proof yet that they are different things. Changing the perception of your gender/sex doesn't mean you actually change it.
Yeah, the professor was contradicting his own definition considering he based his on chromosomes and you can't change those by mutilating your body. Also, Piers forgets an important word in the definition of a woman, it's a "HUMAN female adult". If you only use "female adult", this can apply to an important number of mammals which we never call women.
He is a coward.
XX AND XY cannot be changed or confused period.
The one thing about this whole debate I find the most (read: "hypocritical, counter-intuitive and ridiculous") is that many people who identify as "trans" trot out the belief that "gender is a social construct" and they don't want to confirm to heteronormative stereotypes.
If you are a man, and don't feel you align with those male stereotypes to such an extent that you want make yourself look like a woman, isn't that just affirming those stereotypes that you're so upset about?
If you REALLY don't want to conform to gender stereotypes, then stay as you are and just be who you are without mutilating yourself to change from one predetermined box to another one.
Firstly the difference between gender and sex was clear from the very beginning. I dont know why on this interview they say trans people are confusing that. They and conservatives are the ones who are confusing that. The use of word "woman" is being always used in the gender sense as he explained and people on this comment agree.
Secondly, is not up to us to tell people how they want to express themselves in this world. Period.some people choose to express themselves through religion.
@@geha9450 Well done for completely missing the point, but I'll answer yours in any case.
Firstly, I'm not suggesting people can't choose how to express themselves. It's when the compel other people to recognise it at the expense of their rights and or against logical reason and basic biological fact.
Secondly, whilst woman is a gender, gender and sex are the same thing. If you are an adult human female, you are a woman. If you're an adult human male, you're a man. As the professor said in the interview a man who has surgery to alter his appearence to be more like a woman, and has more feminine traits, that does not make him a woman, which ever way you spin it.
So please, cut the "anything anyone says they are is their right of expression" nonsense.
I have no idea at all what the hell conservatism or religion has anything to do with this conversation, so that point makes no sense either.
@@SteelR4t my point is that forget the biological aspects of it on the video . (which by the way is wrong)
You accept people who want to express their role in world as Christians or Muslims or etc. Why then not accepting someone who wants to express him or herself in another gender. Why is that bad?
Nobody is telling that trans people are biologically women. The word woman is used on the social, gender meaning. Of you prefer to call them trans go ahead but then don't tell me gender is not a spectrum
@@geha9450 Gender is not a spectrum. And the fact you are telling me a world leading biologist is wrong about biology is typical of the idiocy people like you expect everyone else to accept, not to mention its blind arrogance.
The word woman means "adult human female". It has nothing whatsoever to do with socially recognised feminine traits.
You can be a feminine man, that does not make you a woman. You can be a masculine woman, that does not make you a man.
Whilst there are of course different levels of masculinity or femininity in men and women, those two words describe their biology, not their self perception, or those traits that are usually associated with one sex / gender or the other.
(Notice I put gender and sex together.. that was intentional. The two words are synonymous. I don't care if you don't believe that's true. That's your perogative.. you're still wrong.
The word 'Woman' is not used as a social word. The word Woman is clearly defined as: 'an adult human Female'. Males are not Females/Women. Feminine Males exist. We need to expand the Male category.
The mistake they made was saying we conflate sex and gender, what people are really doing is conflating gender with personality. Gender is just a semantic term applying only to language. there are 2 sexes and over 7 billion personalities in our human population at present, this is why the trans activists insist that gender is a spectrum, what they are describing is the myriad differences between each human individual's personality, not their gender, gender should just be synonymous with sex as it used to be, that's one of the evil's of modern leftist tactics, they change language to confuse people to suit their revolutionary narrative, just like newspeak was used in George Orwell's novel 1984.
@Pharisee Spotter What did you mean by that load of gobbledygoop? Gender has always been synonymous with sex. You are guilty of the leftist plot to make words meaningless (and consequently make the truth subjective rather than objective) by blathering a lot of clever sounding nonsense to confuse us simple but honest folk into believing what you newspeak talkers have to say. 1984 wasn't meant to be a textbook, it was meant as a warning.
@Pharisee Spotter And you don't have to look hard to spot the pharisee, just look in your mirror.
@Pharisee Spotter Yes it does mean that you smooth brain.
Gender has always been connected.
@@zorls Silly people arguing over what a word "means the them". All words have definitions. Look it up. Gender is not defined as being related to sex. Sex is defined by shape and function, while gender is a societal role that can change. Simply, you are either male or female, if you put your pinky finger out while drinking champagne that does not change sex, but it might change how people view your gender.
@Pharisee Spotter false, the terms have always been interchangeable. And you know that. Liar.
Disappointed to hear that Macy Gray has backtracked.

the other side of the coin also- people in sport who were born genetically female and transitioning to male have an unfair disadvantage as they didn’t go through male puberty
But these people are competing in sports and winning everything. In fact it would be quite the opposite so they won't even bother. The only people doing this are men.
Females delay their transition, so they can continue to play on the Women's team. Most Females don't qualify for the Mens team. My son played High school sports. If you not in top 20 on the track team, swim team, tennis team you don't qualify to be on the team. Most Females are not in the top 20 range and can't make the Boys/Mens teams.

Imagine thinking sewing a few different body parts on yourself turns you into a different gender.
Imagine doctors amputating healthy organs to further confuse people when the job of a doctor is to help them. Cutting off a man's genitals and then cutting out a section of his Colon to make a passage that resembles a vagina is completely sick and should not be allowed. This leaves the man with genitals that smells of poo. I heard a story from a young man who was left in this position and now he's been watched 24/7 because he wants to commit suicide. He actually believe the operation was going to make him feel like a woman and he would be happy. Instead he sad and smells of poo all the time. These doctors should in prison.
They don’t even do that. It’s more like genital mutilation and the butchery of bodies. You cannot just fashion a penis or vagina and attach. Lunacy.
i don't think many trans people agree about competing with cis people in sport, though. it shouldn't happen anyway because it's akin to taking steroids.
Yes, it's just the woke activists who are so utterly ridiculous (bunch of raging narcissists).
There is no such thing as "trans rights", there are human rights, equality under the law, for people who may or may not be trans.
When push comes to shove White trans drop “trans” and try to be White. It is called “hiding in the closet”. It is cowardly but I don’t expect bravely from people not brave enough to recognize their own gender. Blacks trans are the same but get treated no different for they are still Black.
There is no such thing as trans.
No problem, just base sports categories on sex, not on gender. So make 2 categories, XX and XY and allow both XY men and XY women in the XY category and the same for XX. That way nobody is questioning your choice of gender but sports are still fair.

@@hippychick4583 but all anyone really cares about is biological sex. All I care about is which of the two biological sexes you belong to. The xx chromosome category or the xy category.

Ugh. I used to argue with my parents about the trans bathroom thing, saying that it was going to start and stop with trans women who just wanted to pee. How naïve and wrong I clearly was. It is absolutely appalling to see where this has all traveled.
@@RoaringMind the irony was, as I was waiting in line, I said no one in their right mind would want to become a woman and have to wait in long lines. He proved me wrong.
But he probably felt like a woman that day, or perhaps he/she forget to use veet cream in the morning.
@@jbh8174 idgaf about his feelings
It has always been accepted that for competition in certain sports to be fair, women would only compete with women and men with men. We now have para-Olympics which recognise that physical handicaps should also be factored into the equation. So why not simply introduce a third category for trans-sportspeople?
Because it's about validation not fairness. Not putting transwomen with women is viewed as heresy because "they are women" (but notice transmen seem more than comfortable still being on women's teams). Since they'll never admit women get the short end of the stick in this exchange (forced to compete with women on T or men born with it) due to "feelings" the aim is to beat down the female category by force or with guilt.
It's the most blatant manipulative bull I've ever witnessed allowed to be pushed by the powers that be. Most people would say just let them get their own category like women did, like the differently abled did, but it was never about finding their own place to begin with. The nature of the current movement is invasive to the core. This group isn't being led by the trans folk of years gone by who want their own place and are aware of their biology. They don't even recognize sex anymore.
@@sianais I do agree with you. To be honest I was really "calling their bluff". First there would be very few people competing in that category because I believe trans-people are a tiny minority - it's the "woke" lot that have jumped on their bandwagon to give THEMSELVES a cause - in other words to make themselves seem important. Second, as you so rightly pointed out transwomen might be happy competing against transmen, but the reverse would certainly not be true!! They'd finish up still dividing sports competition by sex, just the wrong way round.
This is a pretty good summing up of the gender issue.

Because then no one would fuss over them and the whole point is to fulfil their need for attention. Also they won’t get to humiliate woman.
Trans will never have uterus or phalopian tubes and will never ovulate
Trans men can
Why does he say he can't answer the question right before he answers the question?
The Russians and Chinese are laughing so hard....
Sex = gender, and we've known this for a long time now. It's the very reason the roles we're expected to play based solely on our biological sex are called "gender roles" to begin with. This professor seems to be defining gender by some arbitrary list of sex characteristics, which is very odd, but not as odd as what those who are pushing transgenderism have said.
They aren't arbitrary characteristics - they are sex-defined characteristics (XY and XX and how that plays out).
Gender according to some universities is more of a state of mind. Basically what you do and how you think determines your gender, (taking stereotypical traits from society weither feminine or masculine will determine your gender in theory) I for one disagree with the notion out right. I understand how this thing came to be and the plight of what is being attempted, but by these means of doing so will only lead to destruction by way of confusion.
I think your talking about satan the hermaphrodite no? And 1 thing you steered towards was rite ie he will be crushhhht
@Lil' Pumpkin 🎃 it's not necessary according to some universities. Every individual has a reason for getting surgery, in my opinion its to fit in with the stereotypical image of a women ( considering that most people "see" women as women) Again in my opinion its all confusion and hypocrisy, it's all emotional bullshit.
It is not your "gender" you are changing, it is your identity.
@@darklaw7766 yes of course, I personally don't subscribe to the ideal of gender "identity" what you are and who you are, are 2 different things. This whole gender identity thing came about when society started to define men and women based on feminine or masculine traits and actions. Some people don't want to conform to a stereotypical ideal of a women or man by societies standards which go beyond "what" a person is (in my opinion)
yet people are not arguing that sex can be changed. gender is social, sex is biological. if you see someone and assume they are a woman (whatever that means to you, even if you are extremely conservative and only define woman as biological female) you will treat that woman as you do "women," in general, because of how you socially perceive them. we do not treat people based on what their birth certificates say, do we? we go based on our gut. or let's say someone looks 12, and you treat them as such, until you find out they are actually 24, you will talk to them like a child. they were biologically 24 the whole time, but you don't start treating them differently till you that information and start seeing them as a 24 year old. socially, they were 12 up until the moment you started treating them like a 24 year old, even if biologically, they were 24 all along. if this person dresses and acts like a 12 year old intentionally, they are now deliberately wanting the world to treat them as 12 socially. who cares what their reasons are, the point is that the way you treat them is different than a doctor treats them because sex and gender are different.
so, back to the woman/man concept: if you realize later that the woman is "actually a man" then you will start treating them different, as either you do a man or as a trans woman, depending on how you see them. so, the way you treated this person when you THOUGHT they were a woman IS what gender is. this is what gender means. how we treat each other and expectations we have about each other SOCIALLY based on gender roles and assumptions. not biologically. all these right wing mouths who keep bringing up the biological aspects are proving that they are missing the point of the debate.
plus this guy says elon musk is not a biologist..
again focusing the conversation on chromazomal differences when that is not the point.
when people bring up "oh what about sports though" they are focusing on one specific place where things are grey and using that to block people's rights in every other aspect of life. who care about sports, sports are the not a core important aspect of life and liberty.
plus, we separate men and women based on ability. the real problem is that we should have unisex physical divisions rather than sex based divisions. i mean look at the NBA:
the average height of a player is 6'6". that's crazy, that's almost a foot taller than the average male height. yet no one complains we should divide the nba to make it fair for the 99% of men who are not born extra tall. i don't mean to say we need to allow trans athletes in female sport, i mean that if someone is basing their arguments against non-biological women on sports representation, why are they not instead focusing on the actual rules governing the actual sport? and by the way, if you look at how trans women IN sport compete, they overwhelmingly do NOT dominate over female women... so the data even shows that if we are to ban anything, it should instead be a trait that seems to predict dominance in a sport, and not fear of the sexes intermingling.
and also obviously cavemen did not know anything about chromozomal makeup between the sexes. i assume she meant to say that cavemen did not have the distinction between men and women, and males and female. and that's also inaccurate. many cultures dating back to before written history have concepts of 3rd gender, or of males/females taking on the traditional roles of each other in society. since gender is a social construct, it changes over time, and our ancestors could and did see it very differently, and in many different ways over the millenia.
" i assume she meant to say that cavemen did not have the distinction between men and women, and males and female." You assume wrongly. She meant "cavemen" knew who was a woman and who was a man by looking.
@@SilverSixpence888 she said (paraphrased, sorry i cant play the video and have the comments open at once so i am trying my beat to quote her) "it pains me that people dont know what a woman is, even caveman knew what a woman is". her inference here is that cavemen did not distinguish between gender and sex, as if they are one and the same, further suggesting that this correlation is so basic as for our ancestors to understand it. this is the premise i countered in my comment.
Love Prof Winston - voice of reason!!
What is a male though? Why is it the woman who needs defining? This is so insulting.
You're so sensitive.
If you're insulted by that, you should get out more.
Keep putting out the truth
The word "Gender" is derived from the Latin root meaning "to beget; to procreate; to generate; to create; to produce."
The Principle of Gender:
"Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles; Gender manifests on all planes."
This Principle embodies the truth that there is GENDER manifested in everything--the Masculine and Feminine Principles ever at work.
This is true not only of the Physical Plane, but of the Mental and even the Spiritual Planes. On the Physical Plane, the Principle manifests as SEX, on the higher planes it takes higher forms, but the Principle is ever the same.
No creation, physical, mental or spiritual, is possible without this Principle.
An understanding of its laws will throw light on many a subject that has perplexed the minds of men.
The Principle of Gender works ever in the direction of generation, regeneration, and creation. Everything, and every person, contains the two Elements or Principles, or this great Principle, within it, him or her.
Every Male thing has the Female Element also; every Female contains also the Male Principle. If you would understand the philosophy of Mental and Spiritual Creation, Generation, and Re-generation, you must understand and study this Hermetic Principle. It contains the solution of many mysteries of Life.
We caution you that this Principle has no reference to the many base, pernicious and degrading lustful theories, teachings and practices, which are taught under fanciful titles, and which are a prostitution of the great natural principle of Gender. Such base revivals of the ancient infamous forms of Phallicism tend to ruin mind, body and soul, and the Hermetic Philosophy has ever sounded the warning note against these degraded teachings which tend toward lust, licentiousness, and perversion of Nature's principles. If you seek such teachings, you must go elsewhere for them--Hermeticism contains nothing for you along these lines. To the pure, all things are pure; to the base, all things are base.

Sex and gender are interchangeable terms. Always have been. It’s only this group of attention seekers that claim it not to be so they can live in a fantasy world.
Facts finally
Irreversible facts that can never be changed
Brilliant doctor! Church of England is a so weak and allowing odd things to happen in their church. I am a woman and will try to explain myself scientifically to those that disrespect my womanhood.
As woman I thank men like Lord Robert Winston exist and defend women. We have a new form of misogyny coming from this trans community.
he still thinks u can change gender
What is a trans? There is no such thing.
It's not coming from the trans commmunity. It's coming from woke trans activists. They aren't the same thing.
Don't pander to the idiocy..
Amazing he is clearly gender critical cuz he defined the operation a mutilating. I love him. The question isnt can you change sex. The question is 'is gender more important than sex'. The answer is no.
Actually,they are the same thing and used to be defined as such before wokeism.
@@dnnyshdy5189 exactly this is nonsense. Treating them as separate reinforces this dumb ideology.
It's actually not necessarily showing a bias, as the word mutilation, by the dictionary definition, fits perfectly to describe gender reassignment. You're nit merely modifying something, but destroying it. The trans crowd love to complain at that word but it really is the right word.
@@sockinvaders I agree with you fully
The terms are interchangeable.
Depends what one means when one uses the term “gender”.
Sorry, there is no such thing as gender.
Damn that Esther girl looks amazing
Anytime someone crumbles under his line of questioning, can we say they felt Piers Pressure
Funny how they are only asking "what is a woman"... are men excluded from being a gender now, or does everyone know what a man is?
Maybe because there are more men pretending to be women that the other way round.
@@SilverSixpence888 your probably right. They are very clearly using it as a way to get access to kids too.
Very well said
Thank you very much again Piers. It’s simple: even if you change the shape of your body and/ or claim to be a woman you will never be one. It is not true you are… from any point of view, not only biological. Or, for example, what does it mean to have a “woman’s soul"? If you are not one, if you have never been one, what can you possibly know anything about it? About a woman’s soul? Trans people have to find their own place without taking out our place, our space. It was too hard for us women to achieve ours. I don’t even understand how we’re possibly having this debate... Nothing seems more misogynistic to me that a man can be considered a better woman than a woman, ever! or… that I say that I am a woman, being really a woman, may bother someone?!! This kind of thing can only be coming from anti-women people…
Love professor winston !!!!
Isn't it refreshing to hear an opinion without hissy fits and name calling?
Elon Musk is just trying to score a date to make up his teenage lonely years
you prob right to some level.
It's not a complicated debate.
For their own reasons men and women want to identify as the opposite sex but women are the ones that lose out.
This topic is getting so boring now
Until TRA' leave women and children alone, no it's not
@@friedchicken4735 You speak as if you are trying to protect children. Like you are the heroes and the liberals are mentally ill people forcing misinformation down the throats of vulnerable impressionable kids. Oh no!! We must save the poor children!!
This is because you have spent to much time in a conservative echo chamber. You need to get out more and read a little of the literature from the other side of the debate. You're clearly ignorant because teaching children about the reality of society is exactly how it should be.
Children can and will make up their own mind and there are just as many conservatives polluting their minds, like yours has been polluted, with hateful bigotry, so I wouldn't be too concerned.
The Asylums have been closed there use to be various years ago now the lunatics are wandering among us.
A man in a woman's prison is particularly unsettling to me.
How did ancient people know the differences of male and female without genetic science?
Funny how people said we couldn’t say what a woman was unless we were a biologist, and then a biologist agreed with what we were saying, that a woman is an adult human female.
here you are in 2022, questioning what a woman is
It is so fascinating to me at least, that all fetuses start out as female, then the fetus either becomes male or doesn’t. So in a way, all men were women (at least in the womb, and only fetally)
Stop! that is ignorant and it is nonsense. The body has instructions called “how to build a human”. Every instruction on every page needs to be followed. Some people have pages missing and the body keeps going as if it has all of the instructions when it doesn’t. Being a male vs being a female are two different instruction manuals.
