See if you can follow this conversation: "We're all assigned a sex." "No, sex is observed at birth." "...Did you get to choose the body you were born with?" "Of course not." "Then you were assigned a sex." I don't understand this logic, am I missing something?

At a stretch you could argue that you were assigned a sex by nature. Or God if that’s your thing.

Even that would imply there was a ‘you’ prior to your sex. We don’t ‘have’ a biological sex; we *are* a biological sex. It’s like age or height: we wouldn’t say we ‘have’ 30 years old or 5’5”. Only difference is that these characteristics *can* change and sex can’t.

They change, but you can’t change them - without severe health implications. My hair was brown when I was born. It is still brown. I wasn’t assigned brown hair, I have brown hair. I am brown-haired. I am more than the colour of my hair, but that remains the colour of my hair.

I hate to entertain this philosophical bullshit but look if you bleach brown hair blonde it literally scientifically is blonde That's the color it "scientifically" is You can tell by looking at it Either with the naked eye or with instruments, the color is the same

Looking at a thing and seeing what color it is is, in fact, science (as is measuring the wavelength of light reflected by it with a spectrometer) "Science" versus "cosmetics" Jesus Christ shut the fuck up
