im a little confused bc i think theres a few different ways to interpret what you said but i think you meant that its like christians who dont really follow jesus' teachings and stick to more crude, older writing?

Yeah. The same way they ignore advanced biology for basic, older, flawed teachings, a lot of Christians ignore what Christ said in favor of listening to the OT

Sometimes things are simplified for the purposes of middle or high school biology. Like you *think* you know the Krebs cycle in 9th grade bio and then you take AP and realize it’s way more complicated

remember being in 1st or 2nd grade and being told you cant have part of a number? or you cant have negatives? and then years later youre in algebra and learning about quadratics and imaginary numbers? your "fact" is only that so long as it is useful to keep things simple when teaching someone who is uneducated.

No one ever told me negatives can’t exist or there can’t be parts of a number. And I’m not denying the existence of intersex individuals but those are an extremely small minority that are born that way and that’s in their DNA. You can’t use naturally occurring examples to justify non-natural examples, it’s apples to oranges

“are born that way and that’s in their DNA” To be clear, there is a significant amount of evidence that trans people are in fact born that way, and it may in fact come down to genetics. Identical twins have a significantly higher rate of both being trans than fraternal twins, for example. See DOI 10.1038/s41598-025-06265-6

But ultimately, sex is different than gender, and gender is heavily influenced by the society you live in. It’s a cultural construct. Sure, it’s associated with sex, but there’s not some inherent gender setup. There’s been societies that had third (or even fourth or fifth) genders. They’re not amazingly common because sex and gender are, again, associated- but they exist. If being transgender is “non-natural”, then literally all gender is. We consider it important but it’s not 100% bio.
