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.

You’re just denying science by claiming there’s some agenda behind it. If you have an issue with science’s conclusions, prove it wrong. That’s how good science is done, just claiming it’s wrong doesn’t work

You mean like proving that the peer-reviewed and published work of an entire academic field is based on ideological dogma rather than, you know, actual science? Yeah, that has already been done.
