Some Information About Sex From A Scientific Perspective

I recognize that I am stepping out onto a dangerous limb here. And perhaps even you realized it when you ended the discussion with kthxbai.

Maybe no discussion is needed. But I guess its what I do, I see words and I want to add words. I have opinions!

And my opinion is that mostly we talk over each other and fail to define our terms and only think we are disagreeing with each other because we are actually not communicating with each other. (not you and me, by the way but just the way I see lots of 'societal' (non) discussions on trendy and/or important topics.

There is a law of the universe, that everything is polar, everything has 'gender'. And this is off the top of my head, but this is gender as in polarity as in two sides. Like a magnet has two poles, so gender has two poles but of course there is many stops along the spectrum.

See I think her scientific explanation actually makes a lot of sense, and I wonder how many people will make it through the 33 tweets. There is a range of 'sex' along a spectrum of male to female (gender?). We could even have one sex for every person! Individualized medicine sounds very nice.

Now, in terms of using words to mean things, a different sex for every person doesn't make much sense because then we are just using our names and then our 'sex' classification as such doesn't carry any meaning outside of the scientific sense where by it means who we are as an individual.

Certainly no one is asking me about how to use words, but since I think we all form language together by use (except in spanish where they have the Royal Academy of the Language), I know that I am helping to define our language by how I use it and how I accept it being used.

So, on Earth we have a north and a south pole, (there is no east pole or west pole thats just hard science) but when we tell people where we live, we don't just say, North or South, we have numerous different ways to talk about where we live. The most accurate could be something like this:

4.9210° N, 75.0631° W (exact specification)

But sometimes its enough for us just to say:

Latin America (broad categorization).

But just don't get me started on the subtle differences between Latin America, Hispanic America, Ibero America, Central America, South America, the Americas or Andean America. ;p

Sex and gender are two different things, really: sex is about your biology/parts/genes/hormones, and gender is about how you identify/are treated by society. A lot of people don't make that distinction, though, and then you get into a hornet's nest of people who didn't make it past ninth grade biology telling a transgender person they couldn't possibly be what they say they are, because they're an innie in their pants! ...or whatever.
Oh man, when I took Spanish in school, for the first three years none of my teachers used nosotros, one of them specifically telling us she wouldn't because "they only use that conjugation in Spain" (what if we went to Spain?). Then in 10th grade, for one year, I had a teacher that taught it and expected us to know it, and then two more years of never using it. And honestly, I'm like, we're in Colorado, I say y'all, nosotros should be taught! LOL
