I had biology class in high-school too. But no one ever needed a blood test to figure out if they're male or female though. Personally I'm aware that lots of people are a mix of "male" and "female" but that's not what Yamato's case is about, is it ? I mean, you're talking about intersexuality, meanwhile Yamato is supposed to be a male-transgender. The first one concerns observations, blood samples and whatnot--- the latter concerns feelings. Tell me if I missed something.
I'm not talking about intersexuality but both it and transgender (and on a related note, what defines male and female plus man and woman as different constructs), which keeps being studied by scientists beyond reducing it to feelings.
Do you realize this hits you back too?
Nah, it doesn't.
You don't have to be a biologist to know a dog is a dog or a horse is a horse. You have billions of men and women who you can confirm as a man or women based on visible and biological markers. It's fine if there are groups of people who wish to be identified differently from the norm but that doesn't mean the rest of us can't keep using the same methods that we've been using to identify genders.
You don't have to be a biologist to know a
Homo sapiens is a
Homo sapiens either, but we aren't talking about species but something way more nuanced and out of sight. "Biologicla markers" certainly encompass way beyond what is visible and any method that won't take into account genetics, hormones, brain structures..., among others, will be inherently flawed. Which makes sense since the average Joe isn't a scientist, whether an endicronologist, a neurobiologist, etc.; but then you have the same average Joe comparing the distinction of gender and sex within the same species to distinguishing a dog from a horse because so far it has worked for him, in spite of the obvious
petitio principii lying behind this reasoning.
Those groups of people don't
wish to be identified differently from the norm, by the way; I can guarantee you this isn't some kind of a whim as they wish for a significantly harder life in pretty much every aspect possible.
I don't have to be accurate since I was speaking in general, everything is clear from the body features, specially for cases like Yamato which an anime character. for accuracy moustache, beard and voice might be ignored, but we can't ignore the genitals.
morals do exist, this is a fact, everybody has a feeling for what is right & what is wrong, some of them just denying his morals, because he knew if he accepted them, then he will have to accept that there must be a creator who built those morals within human body
Oh, now I get it, you are religious; sadly for you, whatever creator you believe in didn't put any moral in our hearts, hence why those rules of behavior we accept as shared as they're beneficial for a specific society to work tend to evolve beyond the old-fashioned teachings of the sacred text establishing those morals.
And of course you have to be accurate and ignore the genitals as they not only may not fit the standard but also aren't the only thing determining this; but doesn't surprise me that you'd speak in general since this kind of simplification of the world is exactly what conservative reactionaries tend to cling to.
