The community barely exists and certainly isn't toxic. Mass downvoting is a great way to undermine the conversation though
They can have bones with a little CRISPRing
Yeah, that's great for flagging spam or stuff that's not relevant to the community it's posted in. Downvoting content that's good for a community just because you don't like the community is like the godbotherers that yell at people about sin during pride celebrations. Don't be like them.
Sure, but all that imperfect categories and blurry lines and whatnot is exactly what gender is for. The controversy section is indeed interesting but not really relevant. It's good to use more specific terms like CAIS when appropriate, but if you want some term to refer to all such similar situations, intersex shouldn't be used.
Sex is simple and serves an important purpose in biology. If we redefine sex into something that isn't based around gamete size then biologists are just going to make up a new word that means what sex used to. Biology is hard and messy and discovering such a widespread rule is a major scientific win.
The "people will never vote for a woman" crowd is sort of right. A woman will never be elected with the current DNC, but only because they view a woman candidate as an excuse to be shittier. They think their base will hold their nose and vote for a worse candidate just because of what's in her pants.
AOC might get elected because she's interesting on her own merits and has enough name recognition to not be buried by the DNC. They'll do their best to prevent it though.
