I'm sorry if I offended anyone...I have NEVER used the expression "bro"...I was using a term of endearment that I use with males as well as females...indeed, if I know someone I'd likely call them "darling"...moreover, I know that the only way to know if someone is a man or a woman or some other gender identity is to ask them...
But let's get the essence of the debate...I wasn't stating an opinion...I was stating a fact...man and woman are the gender terms, if we are talking binary identities or expressions...male and female, are the biological sex terms, that biology usually expressed in anatomy...I may have a sex change, but that procedure would be cosmetic...I may look like a female, but my chromosomes will remain male...
And why is this distinction important?...because it's lack is leading to rights issues...for example, transgender rights campaigns invoking a legislative backlash to prevent transsexual women, including post-ops, having spousal rights in Texas...that's transsexual women (MTF) not transsexual men (FTM)...
Let's not forget that the accelerating rate of exceptionally brutal trans murders worldwide - currently around 20/month - are almost entirely of transsexual women...while FTM men have surgical challenges, most of the social challenges are borne by MTFs...
And please note the neutral tone of my observations...I'm not intending to offend anyone...but I will not deny reality...
