The Endocrine Society, an international organization of over 18,000 endocrine clinical specialists and researchers, has released a scientific statement that asserts there are only two sexes — male and female — and that biological sex is measurable and is to be differentiated from gender identity.
(Snip)t “biological sex is often confused with gender in our society,” and asserted:
The two sexes are differentiated as females, who have ovaries and produce eggs, and males, who have testes and produce sperm. In mammals, females typically have XX chromosomes and males typically have XY chromosomes. All sex differences in the zygote, or fertilized egg, stem from harboring two different sex chromosomes.

We've come to an awful state when something this simple and obvious must be restated. Follow the science?

For some people this is confusing depressing and an act of micro aggression. Time shelter in place with a grande almond milk cappuccino with one pump of vanilla.

This is a totally unacceptable attack on every woman who is really a man and every man who is really a woman! When this gets more widely publicized the next Endocrine Society convention will have to held in the the CEO's garage or basement because no convention hall in these woke United States will dare to offer these quack scientists a venue to foment their fake science.
(And all food service for their convention will have to be potlucks. Even Subway and Pizza Hut will refuse to cater it.)

Demo-commies have always had a problem with the facts. That's why they consider 2+2=4 to be evidence of white supremacy. For them facts are just inconvenient opinions. As long as the American people allow this dysfunctional minority to make the rules for all of the rest of us, we will be in serious trouble. The CONSTITUTION is THE set of rules-to-live-by and is the envy of the world. Demo-commies and the professional victim community want to overthrow it, for "equity" .... JUST SAY NO to the re-distribution of your hard-won earnings to those who want something for nothing.

Maybe we should start calling this "settled science" back to the leftists.

It's heartening to see this esteemed group use the word "sex" - - but - -
- - it's very disheartening to see L-Dotters use the word "gender" - - which is a grammatical term - - not a biological one.
Please - - my beloved fellow L-Dotters - - do not use the word "gender" - - except in a grammatical context. The vile, evil leftists use that word to blur the distinction between biology and grammar. Do not play into the hands of the evil leftists. Please STOP using the word "gender." The correct word is "sex." Don't allow the evil leftists to corrupt our language.

“biological sex is often confused with gender in our society,”
No. Gender has always meant biological sex.
It was used in polite conversation where the word "sex"
was deemed inappropriate.
"Sexologist John Money introduced the terminological distinction between biological sex and gender as a role in 1955. Before his work, it was uncommon to use the word gender to refer to anything but grammatical categories.[1][2] However, Money's meaning of the word did not become widespread until the 1970s, when feminist theory embraced the concept of a distinction between biological sex and the social construct of gender. "
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender - hardly a "far-right" source)
"Plastic Gender" was invented by feminazis
as part of their War On Reality.

Amazing that this needs to be stated explicitly. This is a "hard fact" that has been known for 100,000 years by all human or proto-humans.
Only the 'extremely intellectual' folks can be confused by this.

FINALLY!!! SANITY!!!
I mean if here were supposedly what, 53 genders (?!) then how come when people are having gender reassignment surgery they can either be male going to female or female going to male....hmmm?
SEXUALITY is fluid - that can change day to day, moment to moment, so you can be attracted to, have sex with any number of people you want whenever.
But there are only the two GENDERS, deal with it.

But since "gender" is an entirely artificial notion based on thoughts and feelings, every person's gender identity is whatever they say it is. And in practice, each person's gender identity is as personal and unique as their fingerprints. I declare that LGBTQ should have a 'K' added (for 'konosexual', to accommodate mine).
Leaving the arena of sarcasm... Distinguishing persons by their sex is valid, based on reality, and quite useful in practical terms. "Gender" is just a linguistic device, without any meaningful use.

In linguistics, gender assignment to words has been around for hundreds of years. In Spanish, for example, 'the pen' is assigned a female gender and is called La Tisa and the pencil is masculine, or El Lapiz. Even in the social sciences, gender is considered a social construct (e.g., made up like Kwanza) vs sex, which is biological. Why are our super-educated betters on the left so confused?

Yes this is all true and not to be nit picky but there are those who are born with part of their body XX and part XY (hermaphrodites) where the sex is indeterminant--a larger percent of the population than one would think. Some of these children have their sex "picked" by the parent followed by surgical augmentation. Sometimes the child grows up to realize maybe the parents were wrong.

Susan Berry M.D. has been sensible and grounded for as long as she has been in practice. I think she was head of the AMA, which has sadly declined into producing infinite numbers to put on diagnoses for the now impossible process of billing. She was a contributor to the discussion when some foolish women were paying to have silicone injected into their chest. We have progressed to having Fauci flip a coin to decide the proper news media “covid” conviction of the day, or month. Perhaps we should assign him to determine how to decide to buy “It’s a boy” or “It’s a girl” cards.
