For the umpteenth time, the Oxford dictionary reports how people use words. Do you think they make up definitions? Do you think there are dictionary laws? Maybe dictionary police?
And I've pointed out how the dictionary hasn't really separated gender from sex. Apparently you can't either. So that explains why the dictionary hasn't. They've added a few more words in there, but the words don't actually separate sex from gender.

Yes and the dictionary couldn't decouple gender from sex either.

No they haven't. They say they have, but they haven't been able to. I'm supposed to take your word for it?

Tell me how has gender been decoupled from sex? Give me an example.
Sex has to do with chromosomes. Gender does not. It’s simple really. A child can understand it. When my son was little he had no issue with the concepts.

And I’m pretty sure I’ve seen you in similar threads where this exact thing is being discussed. I’m a bit worried about your memory, since I’m not saying anything that hasn’t been explained before. Or is it the case that you block out things you don’t want to hear?

You don't get it. The ideology is that everyone is gender fluid. You've seen the John Wayne vs Paul Lynde examples of different genders. The ideology is gender is not based on anything of particular substance.

What children and young adults are being taught is they're whatever they choose to be based on whim. That male, female, gay, straight are false constructs. That supposedly in reality it's all fluid, regarding everyone.

You know a kid will take whatever dad tells them as pretty much gospel when they are young. They don't know any better. Explain it to us adults.

What is gender and how does differ from sex?
Oh I have been. And so far everyone has done exactly what you have done. They have stood on the hill and said "Gender is not sex. Everyone knows that, even a child understands." But none of them have ever been able to define gender apart from sex. I am guessing you can't either that's why you are falling back the Ole "even my kid understands".

Tell us, how did you explain the difference to your little boy?

I’m an American. I cannot suddenly say I identify as Canadian because I feel like it.
Wow, no, you totally possess this “ability“; I think you’re only lacking the “desire”.

Schools are the de facto “social-indoctrination-centers” for the children in our society; many ideologies are taught there.
Religion has its own sphere and locations to indoctrinate the willing to their brand of “faith”.

The language is in flux, yes.
This is tangential though.

You don't get it. The ideology is that everyone is gender fluid. You've seen the John Wayne vs Paul Lynde examples of different genders. The ideology is gender is not based on anything of particular substance.
Men produce either XX or XY sperm cells, women only produce ova that are XX.
Yet every single human being is made from the fusion of these cells, is it really so inconceivable that sometimes the brain (which is “wired” only after the genitals are formed), might express the genitalia of the opposite sex?


What children and young adults are being taught is they're whatever they choose to be based on whim. That male, female, gay, straight are false constructs. That supposedly in reality it's all fluid, regarding everyone.
Over 99.3% of people will be either cis-male or cis-female. They’re trying to teach the ~0.6% that it’s okay if they feel like they’re not part of the ~99.3%.

That's all old school construct. New wave transgender ideology puts that away. XX and XY comosomes are completely irrelevant to gender. Genitals are completely irrelevant to gender. Cisgender is only one of dozens of genders. And anyone can be any combination of any of the many genders. Also gender is selective and can change or fluctuate from one gender to another. There really aren't any rules to it actually.

If you're going to defend something, it's best to have a clear understanding of it.

You know what I meant. Where I’m at currently defines my nationality, not what I identify as

In other words reality defines who and what you are.

Whatever. I’ll be dead and hopefully part of the Church Triumphant by then.
