nonbinary.wiki/wiki/Assigned_gender_at_birth

Surely no matter how gender uncritical you are, no one can agree that girls are "assigned female at birth" based on their lack of a penis. Confused Angry. I won't get in to "what they consider a penis" for now. Hmm that deserves a thread of it's own. But the sheer misogny of women just being humans who lack a dick.

Assigned gender at birth is what people usually really mean when they speak of a person's sex. This is because a person's sex is much more difficult to determine than most people believe. When a person is born, a doctor assigns a gender by only looking for one thing: the presence or absence of what they consider to be a penis.

I've recently been trying to explain to my 5-yr-old DS in an appropriate way that no, it is not "like my willy has been cut off", it is that I have a different anatomy to him. If he can grasp the concept, it is rather alarming that grown adults can't.

My DD's sex was first recognized when I was about 15 weeks pregnant, via an antenatal blood test which analysed the foetal DNA that had crossed over into my bloodstream.

The insistence that sex is 'assigned' by a cursory glance at genitals is deliberately misleading or simply ignorant. Not that it matters, since objective material fact has long-since been jettisoned by transactivists.

If TIMs could stop calling their penises "clits" that would be great. It's a cock, guys, and everyone knows it. "Oblonged clit" was a particularly unfortunate term that was doing the rounds on Tumblr for a while.
