If you think you were right, which part of biology is the sex identifier? You haven't answered that.

I have already very clearly articulated my answer to this. Go back up a couple of comments and read it again if you need to.

though I would argue it potentially changes your sex

Then you are arguing against the prevailing medical and scientific opinions, gender affirming care can assist with aligning secondary sex characteristics but does not change the patients sex.

It has long been an argument of the trans community that gender and sex are different, which Im not disputing at all but you are trying to make unclear.

Feminizing hormone therapy is used to make physical changes in the body that are caused by female hormones during puberty. Those changes are called secondary sex characteristics.

For your convenience you can check the difference between primary and secondary sex characteristics here:

HRT is gender affirming care and is not a ‘sex change’ which is outdated and offensive.

It’s odd that you’re trying to ‘debunk’ what you see as a bigoted term and you’ve come full circle to something even worse.

You should look up the difference between sex and gender before you continue arguing down this route.

Light blue ball

Male

Medium height dressed in a long sleeved pale blue collared work shirt, wearing jeans, with a brown belt. Brown hair. Non-descript facial features.

Tennis ball sized

A white, rectangular wooden table.

I already knew, the picture formed instantly on reading the prompt. Initially my perspective was looking directly at the ball then when I read the part about pushing it off the table my perspective shifted further back.

If you can't pinpoint a single specific one

So my answer must be simple, when discussing a complex topic, but you will circle back to claims of complexity to dismiss anything I say.

That is hardly a good faith response.

I would say it is the sum of biological processes that result in the expected sexual dimorphism observed within the majority of the population, resulting in biologically male or female traits.

If their hormones are such that they are growing in the manner you'd expect for a male or female then they are biologically that sex

Show me a research paper that makes this claim. It is called gender affirming care and not sex affirming care for a reason.

AFAB/AMAB is for the original status.

You're literally splitting hairs when the phrases mean the same thing.

“Biological male” is a scientifically misleading phrase

The phrase seems to be very clear in meaning, could you tell me what you find misleading about it?

If that's the case, then aren't they *biologically* women?

Biologically male or female would be more correct as gender is a social construct. Also the term is referring to their original status pre-hormonal or other gender affirming care so no.

that you probably failed

Sorry to disappoint you but I have never failed a subject and have completed higher education.

”basic biology”

You’re the only person here who has used that term.

the water a few minutes prior going won't do anything.

That depends entirely on which end you put the water in

It seems like you've mostly read about Drukhari from second hand sources as opposed to the novels or codexes, or at least from recent ones.

The Drukhari LITERALLY get off on being evil.

It is more like eating a good meal than anything else based on descriptions in multiple novels.

They know they’re doing wrong,

Define 'wrong', they are from a different culture and morality is always veiwed through a cultural lense. There is no universal morality and wasps are proof of that.

That it keeps Slaanesh at bay temporarily in pure self interest

You eat living things because you must (yes plants included) out of pure self interest. Again morality is not universal, if you believe it is please show me a kilo of compassion or a gram of altruism.

the Aeldar, who they could join btw

Potentially join the Craftworlders, as many would fail and die before they could effectively mask themselves from Slaanesh. Going from Craftworlder to Corsair to Drukhari is much easier than the reverse.

And for the record the Craftworlders all worship a god of murder... which they have a lot of issues with and do recognise as a moral problem. Not necessarily an improvement.

Plus it ignores that the Ynnari succeeded and offer a viable alternative and every single Drukhari that didn’t immediately convert

The overwhelming majority don't know for certain that the Ynnari's claims are true, and they're from a society where trust is nearly non-existant. Read the Queen of Blades novel about Lelith Hexperax for some good insight on this point. Again Ynnead is not exactly a morally good god, and is at best neutral, as it is a god of death.

The community name is available and I’ve tried with/without images and the description field.

Could an admin please message me so I can get the community created? Thanks
