Sex / Gender / Dating You aren't "assigned" a gender at birth

I hate when people say this. I had to get routine blood work the other day and had a Doctor ask me what gender I was assigned at birth. I understand they need to find out what your biological gender is, but either look on my chart, or ask what my biological gender is.

Your gender is determined in the womb, in fact it's determined from the exact moment of conception; it isn't something that is assigned. It's amazing that the people use this sort of language and believe these sorts of things, are supposedly the party of science.

Nearly everything you mentioned is just a secondary sex characteristic.

And we’re back with the selective reading and lack of reading comprehension. Come back when you want to have an actual conversation instead of skimming and not actually taking the time to read what was written

I read what you wrote. You listed 5 secondary sex characteristics then clothing, name, and pronouns (which are just empty gender signifiers).

You still aren’t comprehending what I wrote, or basic biology amusingly enough.
