    Perhaps a misunderstanding due to societies recent attempt at broadening the concepts of sex and gender

    No, not at all.

    There’s no “mudding the waters”, he’s just ignorant of what “sexual dimorphism” meant, and not clever enough to check it before leaving a most ironic comment about “making it sexual”.

    You mean “muddying the waters”, by the way. Another example of your ignorance.

    I’ll stick with what can be tested, reproduced and proven

    Don’t lie. You’re very much writing like a “only two genders and I don’t see how ‘sex’ and ‘gender’ are different despite there being a very clear scientific consensus on it” - guy.

        You could have at least Google searched it before attempting a gotcha, there are three methods. One doesn’t actually change the color, but the other two do.

            a brown eye tortured into become blue

            Your English rather poor, comrade. Better practice front of mirror more times.

            If you’re born Vladimir, but you move to the West where no-one knows it, and you introduce yourself as Robert and everyone calls you Robert, are you not then Robert?

            Gender is not in your DNA silly. That’s the whole “gender is different from sex” that’s the scientific consensus. You said you rely on science, yet now you argue your brainfarts are more valid than consensus of the entire scientific community?

                That is the science, gender is a part of this makeup

                I refer you to the image I posted earlier.

                Here, have it again.

                #Sex refers to “the different biological and physiological characteristics of males and females, such as reproductive organs, chromosomes, hormones, etc.” Gender refers to "the socially constructed characteristics of women and men – such as norms, roles and relationships of and between groups of women and men.

                I’m afraid you just might be cognitively incapable of understanding that sex is different from gender.

                Like trying to teach a dog to whistle, this.

                    “New definition”?

                    Oh my sweet summer child, just because you’re hearing about it only now doesn’t mean this difference in sex and gender is new.

                    No, no, no.

                    It’s older than the written word,

                    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_gender#History

                    In Mesopotamian mythology, among the earliest written records of humanity, there are references to types of people who are not men and not women.

                    Also, you don’t seem to understand the scientific side of the biological effects of HRT.

                    No, transitioning doesn’t change your DNA. No-one has argued it does. This doesn’t even remotely mean trans women are men or trans men women, and to make the argument that XY-people are all men or XX-people all women is to literally deny science, like a Flat Earther.
