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

It depends on what discipline you're using to examine the hair. If you're studying the DNA that programs the hair follicle, it will show DNA for brown hair. If you're studying what color light is reflected by the hair, then it's blond.

This is an analogy for transgenderism. If you throw a bottle of Madonna blond bleach and a bullet bra at a brown haired man, they might, from afar, appear to look like Madonna. But if you study this man's DNA, it will tell you he's a brown haired man.pic.twitter.com/j7CKlnBwaS

Yes you can. I am an adult human female carrying a male fetus. How do I know? Because I am pregnant and there are Y chromosomes in my blood. Husband just took a 23 and me DNA test. They told us something we already know: he has black or brown hair and he is male.
