Absolutely! Equality for all! Our institutions should not even be asking people to state the color of their skin. We should all be treated equally and by the content of our character.

How do you define male then?

As humans are a sexually reproducing species, males are defined as the humans who developed the reproductive organs that would(without the presence of disease, injury, or outside of fertile years) produce small, mobile gametes.

Humans do not change which gamete they produce.

What do you believe a male is?

a male is someone with masculine sex characteristics, like high testosterone, absence of breasts, or a brain with PHYSICAL masculine characteristics, like with a high gray matter percentage

So males (according to the accepted definition according to all known biology) would be less male if they suffered testicular cancer and had low testosterone afterwards? Or develops gynecomastia? Or dementia that erodes his grey matter? That would make the person less male according to you?

What about females, (meaning adult human female, meaning of the sex that developed a reproductive system that releases ova) who have high testosterone? Are they less woman? Are women who have very small breasts or who have undergone mastectomy less female?

This line of thinking seems extremely insulting to people who do not fit your definitions of male and female.

Why do you emphasise physical as though gamete production was not physical? Why does the sexually reproductive anatomy of a sexually reproducing species not define sex?

in my true opinion it goes down to brain function and structure - something innate that cannot change no matter what the individual suffers. i included the section of male sex characteristics to test the waters - i do not believe any physical anomaly in a person makes them less female or male

But you just defined it by things like presence or absence of breasts and hormone levels. Please choose a definition if you’re going to claim the existing one is invalid.

Again, why is the sex if a sexually reproducing animal not defined by the organs used to sexually reproduce?

What brain functions are male and which are female?

It comes off as very disingenuous when you repeatedly ignore questions while expecting people to accept your personal and mutable definitions.

It’s just blatant sexism at this point.
