This doctor seems to believe that sex is a social construct

Which is interesting...

What kind of doctor conflates DSD's and trans people?

A non binary / trans one apparently

What kind of doctor?

One whose wokenesshas overcome his common sense and all the facts he learned about sex during his training.

Also a liar or delusional.

“but in many cases it is impossible to tell!”

In a tiny percentage of cases the sex is not immediately clear from an examination of the genitalia would be a translation for those who retain a rational view of the world.

They completely omit the fact that XX cannot mate with XX nor can XY mate with XY. That is how we define sex.

Before we understood genetics, yes of course we used other obvious visual cues - our bodies. It was still a scientific observation at that, but scientific all the same.

Yes, some people are born with abnormal configurations, but they do not disprove our definition of sex.

The arguments being used here are classic straw man arguments, where some truths are mixed in with massive assumptions (or downright misleading information) in the hope that the myths flow into the mindset as easily as the truths. They are essentially claiming that the XX and XY chromosome classification is an erroneous one, and that sex is / can be defined by other factors too. None of which are scientifically proven I hasten to add.

It's bollocks.

"It's bollocks."

Polite people say gametes.

Who would want a doctor that had forgotten their basic training?

"I’m a junior doctor working in the North East of England. I identify as genderqueer, pansexual, bisexual and polyamorous. I live in a flat with my two cats, Molly and Buster."

This berk has a few things in common with Our Dear Adrian

Polite people say gametes.

Good job I'm not polite! ;-)

Fgs no wonder the NHS is in the mess it is with idiots like this practicing medicine

Olga - please tell me you're not an illiterate optometrist ;-)

Apparently ze is also a "genderfuck"

Right

Some growing up to do I think

'They' have committed the cardinal sin of starting with 'so' and then indulge in a pathetic, infantile, narcissistic and breathtakingly passive aggressive self justification of their incoherent position. How many more times can these half wits keep up the agree with me or else line? Scientist! You are having a laff. They are not fit to practice if they are so incapable of ratiocination.

They would have been far better off raising the more interesting question of 'what makes us 'us' above and beyond being XX or XY'. That's the far more pertinent issue - and a better way to approach our uniqueness, our personality, sexuality etc.

It really seems to me that it's currently too difficult to explain why someone believes they feel like a woman (or a man), but if they persuade people they actually are a different sex to what their biology indicates, it's an 'easy' answer.
Sadly it's the wrong answer.

I browsed through a bit more of the blog. The bit where they went to the papers for being asked to leave a gym for inappropriate clothing is quite amusing.

Gender is a social construct.
There you go, I’ve corrected for him/her/it, whatever he wants to call himself.

Jesus. And we're talking about a doctor here? A medical doctor? Give me strength.

I just can't past the fact that a doctor believes sex is a social construct! When so many blood test results, organ function tests etc rely on what SEX the person is to detect disease or malfunction! Do they want to measure blood test results against gender FFS?

"When I use a word," said Humpty Dumpty.....

I think they just make this stuff up so they seem more interesting
Instead of cracking on with life and fun and family and friends

Because if they believed it then they really would have lost how to use their brain
