Battle of the Sexes

Let’s talk about sex. You know. That question that appears on driver’s license applications, job applications, medical history questionnaires, and so many other forms. I will just tell you the truth right now. Male and Female. Man and Woman. Boy and Girl. Masculine and Feminine. Superman and Wonder Woman. And most importantly, Adam and Eve.

NOW, let’s talk about the birds and the bees baby. At least the part where sex aka gender is concerned. According to any reputable and real science source, the sex of a baby is determined by the sperm of the father(who falls into the male category). To be more specific, there are chromosomes in the sperm that determine the gender. The father’s sperm carries either X or Y chromosomes. The mother’s egg only carries an X chromosome. (Mother falls into the female category.) So depending on which sperm reaches the egg first determines whether you’re having a boy or a girl. XX makes a girl and XY makes a boy. Biology 101.

Therefore, it is not discriminatory or disrespectful to declare with all honesty that there are only two genders. 2! It is irresponsible and unethical for a Biology major, scientist, or doctor to state otherwise. Maybe you’re not a fan of science. Okay, well let’s get physical. Anatomy type physical. Male bodies and female bodies. Well, anatomy is still a branch of science but you just can’t see a chromosome. On the other hand, most of us have seen the beauty of a baby being born. Either in real life or on tv. I think we can all agree that there are only two genitalia. 2! Genitalia are the “male or female reproductive organs especially the external genital organs”. This is the medical definition. There are cases where a person may have both.

The point is that there are not 72 genders. Sex is not assigned, it is inherited based on the chromosomes. Gender identity is not a complicated subject. We are born either male or female. That is the absolute truth. We either choose or are influenced to be otherwise. There are many different studies that lean towards the belief that people are born gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, non-binary and so on. Saying that it is a choice or preference is quickly attacked. I challenge anyone to first read Romans Chapter One. It addresses the root cause of sexual orientation and behavior contrary to nature. It even mentions what happens in the brains of those who practice unnatural sexual behaviors. This explains the differences in the heterosexual and homosexual brain as discovered in certain studies. This is a book that was written almost 2,000 years ago as part of the New Testament. Yet, it speaks to this issue of today.

So let the people make up words like “genderqueer” and “pangender.” Let them call themselves what they will. It is really a remake on what used to be called “self-expression.” And we are all free to express ourselves in any manner we see fit. We are not required to change the way we use pronouns. Science is science and until scientists discover 72 new variations of chromosomes in the HUMAN body to prove 72 genders exist, male and female it is!
