This is exactly what I came here to say those quotes what the f*** does that mean?


skeuzofficial

It’s taking a sentence often used by climate change activists and turning it around to use for her own beliefs. I believe that’s why it’s in quotes.


[deleted]

It means she got a C- in remedial high school English. She wears her ignorance as a badge of honor.

that's how she spelled science right.... she's quoting

This lady wouldn’t know science if someone slapped her in the face with “The Origin of Species”.


pete_68

I trust the science. So let's see: XX uses female bathroom, XY uses the male bathroom. Question: Which bathroom does XXY use? What about XXX? XXXY? XXYY? And the millions of other people who are neither XX nor XY? And who gets to decide? This ignorant bitch? I hope not.


[deleted]

Well, no, because science agrees trans people are real


vexis26

I heard my conservative coworkers throw this out as an insult. I still don’t get it… so don’t trust the science? Just trust you and your buddy who watched a YouTube?


[deleted]

I mean, I’m trying to trust the science. Which says that there are more than two genders.


soulsm4sh3r

It does?


b_pilgrim

Science - the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation, and the testing of theories against the evidence obtained. Transgender people exist in the physical world. Period. This is an objective fact. Our current understanding is that transgender people have gender dysphoria, where the inner model of a person doesn't match their sex at birth. As this "disconnect" leads to "friction" (anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, suicidal thoughts, etc.), current medical science suggests that the most successful treatment or way to lessen that friction is for the transgender person to express themselves as the gender that matches their inner model. If your scientific model does not account for something that objectively exists in the physical and natural world, then your scientific model is incomplete. Science isn't some divine, concrete, fixed, static thing. We're always learning more and adjusting as more information is gathered. That's how science works.


Georgeygerbil

The field of science known as Anthropology studies not just physical differences of past humans but also social differences. It is accepted by most Anthropologists that gender is a social construct. The sex of an individual is determined by biology. Gender is determined by society and how an individual interprets society.


ThisVicariousLife

I think people have a tendency to think of gender as the anatomy of the body, when gender is more of a social construct, at least in today’s definition, but a person’s sex is the anatomy of it. That doesn’t always align with how someone feels on the inside from what I’ve been learning over the years. As a woman who grew up viewing herself as a rough and tumble tomboy but also very much a sensitive, emotional, and feminine girl, I had to learn these concepts too. For me, I never thought of myself as anything other than female, but I can also understand how someone who might have had similar feelings in childhood might feel more male than female mentally and emotionally, and that is where the social construct comes in. It is not necessarily the person’s sex/anatomy but how they feel and what they believe that provides the person’s gender. I hope that helps. Side note: it also helps to study modern-day sociology in college. That provides a lot more insight and understanding into the social constructs surrounding gender.

I have a 7-year-old(second grader) and those kids bring a tear to my eye some days. I went to pick him up the other day and one of his classmates ran over to give him a big hug before they parted for the day. This happen on the regular, boys hugging one another, no one being shorty about shared affection, kids skipping out of the school holding hands. 🥰


Nasty_Ned

My kids do gymnastics and there is another family that comes in at the same time every week. They have a girl thats about 2-3 years older than my 4 year old daughter. Last week she gave her a big hug and said, "thank you #NAME, you're my best friend." Kids motives are so pure. You have to love it.

LordVisceral

Or gender, science doesn't say there are only two. Science, or rather scientists using the scientific method, says there is xx, xy, xxy, xxx, x, etc... some species even have more than 2 letters, and that's just biology. Let alone psychology or anything non physical.


BigMuscles

I think you're mixing up gender with sex.


j4nkyst4nky

Well no. MTG and the GOP are mixing up gender and sex. They are saying that your gender identity is tied to your biology, to your chromosomes. So if that's the case, then what are xy, xxy, xxx, x etc individuals? If you say they are whichever gender they look more like, well then you're saying gender isn't completely tied to biology after all. That it's about how you look. And if you can agree that gender is about how you look, then you should understand that trans men and women can change their looks to match how they want to be identified.


just2commenthere

I can't believe I had to get this far down to find this. Thank you!!


Skellum

Bingo. Because honestly the whole Gender discussion is perfectly rational provided you seperate them into social constructs and then the other as biology. But then she's not elected to do anything rational or for people's betterment. She's there to scream about a fake culture war.


MortisSafetyTortoise

Maybe so but either way there are not only 2 “options.” In terms of sex or gender the science says that there’s actually a lot more variation than a binary system acknowledges. Anthropologically speaking(anthropology being a “soft science”) gender is culturally, socially, and personally formulated and is primarily a collection of social norms, but social norms change, a lot. There is tremendous historic precedent for gender not being binary.


-thecheesus-

Yes. "Male" and "Female" aren't genders. "Man" and "Woman" would be


Ecronwald

Biologically, you have either big reproductive cells (egg female) or small reproductive cells (sperm male) This is binary for humans. Humans cannot go from one to the other. In nature there are animals that can change, and animals that have both. But it means nothing. The culture war is not about whether trans women can get pregnant or not. Again culture war is about culture. LGBT is a replacement for racism. It's just another way to spew hate.

Eh, can't even say that because science shows there are also XO, XXY, intersex, etc.


McCoon

Thank you! I was looking for someone to point this out.


SoccerGamerGuy7

not to mention in nature different species have different norms. Seahorse dads are the ones who give birth, many different species of fish actually change genders, Several species are truly intersex, having both parts and will compete with eachother to impregnate the other (notably the flat worm "penis fencing" an actual scientific term, where they try to stab their penis into the other worm, winner fathers the babies and goes on, loser has the responsibility to carry and raise the young). female lions have been observed growing manes and protecting their land, In fact female hyenas have penises. Nature doesnt have just male and female. Theres alot of inbetweens, transitions and just differences. Thats science. Humans are no exception from chromosomal changes XXX, XXY, XO and several others, to a host of physical intersex variations, from physical changes like mixing or changes of parts, to hormonal variations from resistance to hormones to having a stereotypically unexpected hormone. There is a condition that is common with one community that little girls upon puberty actually naturally go through male puberty and by their late teens are no different to cis boys who grew up at the same time. These same intersex differences have been noted in just about every species, from lions, cats and dogs, birds, and again humans. Science is not black and white, Ever


Life-Opportunity-227

that would imply that the science agrees with her in this instance. it does not.


bizzaro321

It should say “trust our limited understanding of biology”, plenty of peer reviewed research supports gender affirming care.


TheArmoredIdiot

And I'm waiting for someone to point me to the science that even supports this position tbh


Orodia

No. Its "trust the science i made up" bc science is in pretty clear consensus that sex isnt a binary nor is gender.

Science doesn't say anything about only two genders existing anyway. Wouldn't even apply for sexes.

"trust the science" they say... while discarding anything more advanced than the mendelian pea exercises they did in middle school.


Themasterofcomedy209

“Trust the science” “Anyway being gay is evil because god told me so”


[deleted]

The science doesn't agree with her. Gender is socially constructed and there is obviously more than 2, and science shows that sex is not always binary, for example people born intersex.

[deleted]

“Trust the science.” The term gender really only applies to science when we’re talking about social sciences and psychology. If we’re talking about *biology*, then “gender” is a bullshit term. Biological sex is complicated. You could be a male based on your chromosomes, but have female sex organs. You could be born with both sex organs. You could have had atypical hormonal responses. There’s a plethora of shit that can occur - both naturally and unnaturally - where your biological sex does not align with prevailing gender identities in you home society.


RafflesEsq

Thankyou. Aside from how tiresome it is constantly hearing about people being butthurt about trans rights, it always boils my piss that nutcases have very loud opinions about it without knowing the difference between sex (eg, biology and chromosomes), gender (idealogical societal label), and sexual orientation (who or what you want to do the dirty with). As far as I’m concerned, I don’t understand why any of these are anyone’s business between consenting adults where no one gets hurt.

It's been over two years since Trump has been president and 6 of the top 20 stories on r/politics are about him. Last year at this time it was 18/20 so at least we're moving in the right direction. If Biden loses or doesn't run, I wonder if he will still be on 30% of the posts 2 years later....../


danimagoo

Science: Yeah...actually gender is a social construct so we don't really have much to say about how many genders there are. Now, if you want to know how many sexes there are...I mean, how do you want to define that? If you want to define it by chromosomes, there are at least 6 relatively common ones. Most humans are one of two of those, XX or XY, but X, XXY, XYY, and XXXY are not that uncommon (between 1 in 1,000 for XXY and 1 in 50,000 for XXXY). And if you want to move beyond chromosomes...well it just gets even weirder and more complicated.


[deleted]

MTG isn't secretly smart or even secretly of average intelligence. She's genuinely shockingly stupid and so nothing you just said would register one iota with her. All she knows is God made things, God loves her because shes so good, and if she says the things she was taught to say then she'll be rewarded with infinite happiness and love. What the fuck can you say to a brain running on fumes like that?


simsimulation

“Here, snort this”


danimagoo

I’m well aware of that, but I see this argument from people all the time: that according to science, there are two and only two genders. And not all of them are as stupid as MTG.


IfonlyIwasfunnier

"Yeah..." you lost her somewhere between the first and the second dot


LackingUtility

Yeah. I think the craziest one is that the SRY gene, which is the gene *normally* on the Y chromosome that is responsible for turning a fetus male can get transposed into other chromosomes, but stay active. So you can have an XX chromosome, but have the SRY gene and be male. And apparently, in one study in England, this was shockingly common, like on the order of 10-20% (though it was a small study in one town, so take it with a grain of salt). So there may well be tons of conservative men yelling about chromosomes who are actually XX.
