Gender Fundamentals

Defining Gender in the Most Human Way Possible

I think this is the best means to understand gender.

Human gender is the reproductive purpose and/or potential of the human in question.

Because of the recent executive orders dealing with gender, sports, and the military along with decorum in government, I think it’s still important to get our fundamentals down correctly. Part of why this isn’t going away is because the fundamental framework for the way we understand how humans use language is abandoned in order to win political arguments.

This definition is complete and unwavering regardless of what happens in the development of that human being. No egg fertilized by a Y chromosome has ever produced eggs and no egg fertilized by an X chromosome has ever produced sperm. Gender is a category of reproduction only. It is not a category of personality or preference.

Gender Is Reproductive Potential

Once an X or Y chromosome enters the egg, the reproductive purpose/potential of that human being is set. Permanently. That zygote will do its very best to produce a human being capable of producing viable sperm or eggs. That is it. Nothing more, nothing less.
