That there are men (xy) with female parts

This is your misunderstanding right there. XY is not automatically a man. You are the one making the claim that chromosoms define if you are a man or a woman, and the PhD and the other guy are telling you that there are people born with XY who are cis women with female genitalia. You are wrong.

they talk about xx becoming xy

No, they are saying no such thing. They are telling you that there are people born with XY but who have female genitalia and grow up to be cis women. No one told you that some XY people changed to XX, or XX to XY. This does not happen. This is not what the PhD said, and this is not what the other guy explained to you. You are wrong. And you keep claiming that everybody else is wrong, without ever questioning your own understanding.

Now you’re saying it

No matter what conservatives like you or that doctor say

They are telling you that there are people born with XY but who have female genitalia and grow up to be cis women

what’s in your pants doesn’t determine gender

??? No one said it determines your gender. We're telling you that it happens. Obviously there are XY people who grow up to be cis men, trans women, but also cis women, and surely trans men as well, or anything inbetween, with any form of gender expression you can think of. You're the only one making this all up for some reason.

Has y = man

No y = woman

no matter someone’s parts or how they act changes that. Stop being sexist

Has y = man

No y = woman

No. You are conflating chromosoms, gender, sex. The PhD is telling you that you are wrong. You are claiming that you know better than them. The whole meme is about you, you have Dunning-Kruger, they have a PhD.

okay without being sexiest, what is the difference between a man and a woman that isn’t sex?

(Hint: there is none, but feel free to parrot whatever fox news tells you)

[–] Uruanna@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

No one has said anything about any of that, you are making up this argument out of nothing, no one has tried to define what a man or a woman is - except you, actually. You are moving the discussion and muddying what is even being argued about, so you can pretend I'm a conservative for some reason and the doctor is as bad as an anti-vaxxer. Even though you're the one who tried to declare what a man or a woman is, when that wasn't the subject at all. You are projecting.

My mistake, I thought you said gender and sex were different
