No words.

Well, she's a fuckwit, isn't she?

(She/he/it/them or whatever, naturally).

So she has two biological parents? In which case she can be certain one is male and other female. Assuming she was not an IVF baby, one has a penis and produces sperm, the other has a vagina and produces eggs. She can make a pretty big assumption about how the eggs and sperm got to meet... especially if her parents are or were in a loving relationship. So she does know about their sex, gender, sexuality (at the time of conception), genitals and hormones. What she should say is that thinking about her parents having sex is a bit Eewww so she prefers not to think about it.

I was reading that earlier. I love Jane Clare Jones. I'm not in twitter but I do read it regularly and she is usually my first go to.
I just saw this on Twitter too which is a good response to the "can't tell what sex" crowd.

I've only skimmed it but Jane Clare Jones used some sort of archaelogical reference and this young woman popped up to say it was being misused/oversimplified/misunderstood or something of that sort. Fair enough. How it got from that to this is beyond me.

I’m confused what on Earth this conversation was.

And when did biology and/or sex ed go out the window at school? Doesn’t look like this person even had the basics!
