Why is Mumsnet so GC?

What gives you the impression that a person who has spent her entire life defying and dismantling gendered strictures and expectations believes that people should behave in gendered ways based on the biology they were born with?

We are all just anonymous names. We know nothing about you. We can only judge you by your arguments.

For clarity, a man is gender non conforming if he describes himself as a man even though he wears clothes associated with femininity. He is gender conforming if he describes himself as a woman because he wears clothes associated with femininity.

From what you have posted on this thread, the impression is that you are in the second category.

A lot more of my body is made of polypeptide chains than the pre-translation nucleic acid chains that code for them

Proteins, in normal parlance? Why use a long and a short word when one short word does the job? Well, I suppose they do come up to some extent when we're discussing sport, those that form muscle.

It's the structure and function of the organs made from the proteins that matter, and some of these are crucially different between the sexes.

And human-manufactured. It would be a synthetic material.

But BH would be there to berate us for being bigoted for not pretending it existed in nature.

Unfortunately for Butterfly, they can't even claim to be the originator of that made up term. That glory seems to go to some dude on a subreddit about beards.

Whilst I'm up for giving BH the benefit of the doubt that BH was just attempting creativity in adding to the existing word salad, 'Masculinium' is remarkably close in wordsmithing to 'masculinism' Masculism - Wikipedia

"The terms may also refer to the men's rights movement or men's movement,[b] as well as a type of antifeminism."

masculinium would undoubtedly be radioactive.

Masculinium would also fit very nicely into the Element Song but

It hasn't been discovered.

(We should lobby Harvard for the name when they find a new one!)

Magic sex essence is just a reference to spunk. Obviously.

It’s a bit like how Stan Lee invented his superheroes though. (Although it should be Butterfly Batched so no-prize)

Hiding your lack of knowledge or coherent thought behind impenetrable text or made up concepts and words is a common tactic for a particular sub group of people.

BH is so close to getting this but isn’t quite there yet.

The moment at which sperm meets egg is indeed the moment someone is conceived as a male or female. Masculinity and femininity aren’t part of the equation at all as they have nothing to do with biology.

That 'magic sex essence' was already coded in the sperm I am afraid.

And we don't need any analytical tool to see that 'magic sex essence'. It is observable in every. single. post. We have been telling you about your posts for years now. I think that 'magic sex essence' is so plentiful in your case that you cannot see what we have been saying. And you are surrounded by people being 'kind' to you that they never told you the truth. Or they did, and you couldn't believe it.

Masculinium? Fantastic! Now we clearly need the gorgeous Mr Menno's take on a disco classic....

(It's educational too!)

Oh it is infuriating to read this pseudo-scientific bullshit being spread around with the clear intent to try to make it hard for people to argue against you.

It does not make you look clever.

Especially given the egregious hypocrisy of asking where the magical sex essence is. From someone who is absolutely wedded to actual magical thinking about innate gender identities.

It’s like reading essays written by an arrogant undergrad who missed all the classes and is hoping that copious use of the thesaurus will hide their total absence of knowledge or understanding of the material.

Glad you're enjoying this!

Oh. That was anti-climatic.

I assumed that was the point. That people would look it up.

But I am prepped ready to receive the education about masculinium.... It should be great to learn new information.

A lot more of my body is made of polypeptide chains than the pre-translation nucleic acid chains that code for them but maybe the magical sex essence only exists in those?

Honestly, I assumed it was some new, bullshittery pseudo science which TRA's are pushing.

A note, don't Google masculinium. It takes you to a very weird blog.

@ButterflyHatched "Did the masculinium enter my body at the moment of fertilisation or was it added later?" Right first time! It came into the egg with the sperm and it's been swimming about in every cell of your body ever since! "Masculinium" is a fantastic word btw, makes the rest of your posts worth wading through.

I dunno @JacksonLambsEatIvy are you sure you’re an actual woman what with all this science knowledge? Surely sciencing is only for men while us women flutter & giggle and paint our nails

Tell you what. How about you 'educate' us and post the medical literature to 'educate us' all? I look forward to this one.... I really hope you finally produce some evidence to back up your words.

But but but...the gender sorting hat????????

My exact thought - what was TFE, 1970?

Honestly, ‘masculinium’. 🙄🙄🙄

The fact you think that’s actually a clever response - making up something that sounds like a chemical element to try to reify gender stereotypes - speaks volumes.
