No One Truly Believes Sex and Gender are Separate

Gender is not separated from sex. Political activists can claim what they want, but their actions say otherwise.

Take for example the left’s newfound hatred of author J.K. Rowling. She’s famous for creating one of the most renowned characters in all of fiction. Harry Potter taught many children about the evils of racism, classism, sexism, and the importance of inclusion and acceptance. That’s why it broke so many of their hearts when Rowling demonstrated her own bigotry by stating sex is real and defending Maya Forstater, who was fired for stating men cannot change into women.

"Dress however you please. Call yourself whatever you like. Sleep with any consenting adult who'll have you. Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real? #IStandWithMaya #ThisIsNotADrill"

Rowling was also vilified for mocking an article that used the phrase, “people who menstruate.”

The question is why? There are women “transitioning,” who haven’t yet taken enough hormones to destroy their sex organs, and there are people who identify as “nonbinary” who menstruate. But none of that matters. A period is biological. You can’t identify your way into or out of having one, believe me. So, why would people who identify with a different gender pronoun, care if they are not included in a process so deeply involved with female anatomy?

Cori Bush may be a congresswoman, but she’s an activist first. She testified before Congress on behalf of “birthing people,” to explain the difficulties minorities face while going through labor. Well, I’ve got news for her and everyone else; pregnancy is biological. I don’t care if a person with a vagina thinks she’s a man; only a woman can naturally give birth to a human child. There’s no sense in claiming otherwise and mixing the undeniably biological world with the fantastical.

Conservative commentators, such as The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh, constantly request activists to define what a woman is. Typical responses are whittled down into “whoever identifies as one.” Those “identities” are normally shaped around stereotypes that don’t define all women or can easily apply to feminine and/or gay men.

Walsh generally sees this as a copout, but his critics argue gender is dictated by society. It’s a “construct,” so your behavior and the way you want to dress and style hair should play a role in how you’re defined.

We’re told, “gender is a social construct.” Well, I reject that. Your idea of gender being a social construct, is a social construct.

If society gets to dictate how gender is defined, our society has already established it’s tied to sex. Undoubtedly. I fully acknowledge there is a vast movement to change that through media, woke corporate brands, and so on. Disney and Lucasfilm even went as far as to bully, slander, and publicly fire Gina Carano, a star on their hit series The Mandalorian. Politicians, desperate for relevancy, play along and pander to a tiny fraction of the population, because they are a very vocal part of their base, and victim politics pays very well.

Entertainers may be trendsetters, but many are also insecure and seek validation from their fans. Coming out doesn’t possess the same sort of challenges as the past, and gender identity is the new craze. It’s widely celebrated. Nowadays, corporations make Pride Month a greater spectacle than Black History Month. No one is stunning and brave for coming out as nonbinary. They’ll gladly take a few hits from haters as their fans uplift them as unique martyrs. The high of their adulation will block out internal unhappiness, at least for a little while.

But entertaining the fantasy that men can be women and vice versa doesn’t make it true. Abigail Shrier wrote in Irreversible Damage about some of the catastrophic harm done by women self-diagnosing gender dysphoria. Amazon banned When Harry Became Sally, even though writers like Chad Felix Green spoke in favor of it after it helped him deal with gender dysphoria.

When Zoey Tur placed his hulking hand on Ben Shapiro’s shoulder and threatened to send him home in an ambulance, the woke police would have you believe Tur is a woman and Shapiro was a villain for speaking on genetics. The panel on Dr. Drew condemned Shapiro, but he had a point. Why are we mainstreaming delusion?

Our society has bought into the idea that it is compassionate to lie, but at what cost? If people have inner unhappiness, there’s only so much hormones and surgery can accomplish. What happens to the women who find out they’ve made a mistake but have to get a hysterectomy? I’ve seen stories of detransitioners who once said their feminine voice was what they hated most, but now ruining it is their greatest regret. Chad Felix Greene believed Ryan T. Anderson handled the topic of gender dysphoria with respect and compassion, but that didn’t stop Amazon from banning his book.

There is a powerful group effort to shut down any meaningful debate on this topic. There is a reason why the gender police bothered Gina Carano about putting pronouns in her bio, and why they were so triggered after she mocked them with “beep/bop/boop.” They need assimilation. If everyone doesn’t buy it, it doesn’t work. They know, deep down, sex and gender are not separate, and their separation makes them meaningless. They resent reality, so they shun anyone who comes out in support of their great nemesis.

The only way for them to win is to trick the rest of us into admitting defeat.
