Gender neutral.

Gender fluid.

Gender confused.

Gender nonsense.

An unconscious patient is brought into a hospital emergency room. Upon removing the patients clothing, hospital staff determine that the victim is one of two genders – male or female. The doodle and the va-jay-jay are the deciding factor here, not sociology professors.

Please don’t get me wrong, if someone wishes to identify as a different gender that is their choice. It’s of no concern to me. But when people argue that gender is a social construct, something needs to be said because that’s absurd. Sure, gender can be and is impacted and influenced by social constructs, but simply choosing to switch genders does not trump biology. Put simply,

– a woman who chooses to be a man is not suddenly impervious to cervical cancer.

– a man who chooses to be a woman is not suddenly resistant to testicular cancer.

– a woman suffering from endometriosis didn’t just eat a bad burrito with the boys Friday night.

– and a man who determines he wants to give birth cannot do so without surgical assistance to install some serious plumbing.

Simply thinking one way will not change the biology of the situation. At the end of the day, listening to your bodies biological chemistry will tell you more truth than any sociology professor will.
