A classic example of the judeo-christian appeal to misunderstood high school science: you just said if you ever are infertile you're not "male".

That's almost certainly not what you meant, which is: "My worldview is that no one is allowed to opt out of my gender foreverwar because of how much I benefit from the status quo."

Fertility and reproduction have very little to do with 'gender' except where people attempting societal manipulation try and force it to. From a scientific perspective the correlations are minimal and difficult to measure.

For a computer person, your logic sure is weak.

"If you've ever produced small, motile gametes, then you're male."

"If you've never produced small, motile gametes, then you're not male."

P → Q does not entail ¬P → ¬Q. Literally 100-level propositional logic, here.

Who's talking about gender, here? I'm not.

I'm talking about sex; specifically, the material basis for reproductive roles and the exploitation of female (sorry, AFAB) reproductive function for the advantage of male (sorry, AMAB) people.

You edited your post, so I edited mine.

But nice try.

In any case, if you're talking about this ill-defined and frequently unverified concept of "sex" then I'm uninterested in talking with you further. You're don't have any interesting insight into the subject. You can barely keep it together explaining logical implication.

Please find someone more interested in this level of discourse. I'm bored with it.
