Should “gender identity” be added to anti-discrimination laws?
No, there are only two genders which are genetically not psychologically determined
Sex (male/female/intersex) comes from a combination of your genitalia and chromosomes (there's more than XX and XY). Gender (man/woman/nonbinary) comes from your brain (different genders have differently sized and shaped brains). Human biology is a wonderfully complex field, every piece of the puzzle is important. That is a scientific fact, and those facts don't care about the fact that you stopped learning when you left high school.
If gender is psychological, then why is surgery so necessary for trans people?

Gender-affirmation surgery is not necessary for a person to be trans, as you can be trans without having any surgery or procedures, since your gender identity is psychological and not biological. Gender-affirming surgery is a part of what is known as gender expression, which is the physical means of expressing gender externally, whether it be biological, like surgery or hormone treatments, or even non-biological, like the way you style your clothes or hair or whatnot. Your gender expression does not inherently define your gender identity, since your gender expression is merely, as the name… Read more

If trans people commit suicide, that's called "natural selection", where the extremely ill have a natural desire to end themselves, for the betterment of society. The amount of resources required to help affirm trans people's gender identity is very wasteful. Tell me, who deserves more to be hired for a job? Someone who will spend a good portion of it on medication that isn't even needed for their survival (gender affirming care or hormones of their "gender identity"), or someone who will purely spend it on needed goods that in turn help sustain jobs and promote economic growth. While the production of gender affirming medication is a viable job, how does it help society? It only helps the trans people, but if there were no trans people, these jobs could be replaced with actually useful jobs in medication.

Because for some reason, they are convinced that trans surgeries can actually help them be more like the other sex, even though all it does is destroy their body
While it's true that sex and gender are distinct, it's important to consider how these concepts intersect with societal norms and moral values. For instance, many people argue that traditional male and female roles have been established for a reason and that they play a crucial role in maintaining stability in society. In this perspective, adding gender identity to anti-discrimination laws might disrupt the balance of societal norms and could lead to confusion. What are your thoughts on the potential consequences of expanding anti-discrimination laws in this way?
While it's true that sex and gender are distinct concepts, it is also important to consider the potential implications of adding gender identity to anti-discrimination laws from a practical standpoint. For example, including gender identity in these laws could complicate matters in sex-segregated spaces, such as bathrooms, locker rooms, or sports teams. This could lead to privacy and safety concerns for some individuals, as well as affect the fairness in competitive sports.
Moreover, while the human brain is complex and gender might have some neurological basis, these differences might… Read more
