But how will we ever know what fake expectations of toys and activities we need to force on kids who won’t be given the chance to be their own people!? Won’t somebody think of the patriarchy!?

https://youtu.be/fpGqFUStcxc?is=lS42XTxtKalwJjv- Well no hold on cuz there’s a difference between what one term describes vs another ^ This video essay might help ur essay but in an unexpected way. Also note^ this is a progressive bashing on conservative mindsets for the most part but he does touch on this one distinction that trips us up when arguing with conservatives

Sorry not for the most part, in whole. He’s just also a doctor who wanted to clarify one small detail that might help us in our arguments when explaining identity vs sex vs gender & how all of these can coexist without diminishing any of our arguments

Not always. Sex isn’t totally immutable and it’s better to assess with a healthcare team what is there and what isn’t there than to just go off of ASAB. ASAB also often ignores the complexity of care Intersex folks may need.

Oop wait isn’t there another term next to the other two within the ASAB category that’s used for intersex cases? & also i haven’t seen the video i sent in a while but is it not mentioned on there too?

you are referring to basic healthcare practices right now lmfao. someone’s assigned gender at birth (their sex) does determine their expected base lines of good health. literally everyone has different health i didnt think i needed to explain that. some people share their assigned gender at birth, some people dont, sometimes it is relevant to the conversation. the lack of acknowledgement to intersex individuals is a problem in-and-of itself… but deeming biological sex that may bring these —

— conversations up, especially without transphobic connotations, then thats what it is there for. ignoring the existent binary doesnt make you any less nonbinary.

There isn’t a strict binary and you’re just adding on to what I already shared, hun.
