Description

To fully layout the actual resolution:

"Resolved: A trans person is the gender they identify of"

Theweakeredge: Instigator (Pro)
Juice: Contender (Con)

Definitions:

Transgender - "An adjective that is an umbrella term used to describe the full range of people whose gender identity and/or gender roles do not conform to what is typically associated with their sex assigned at birth. While the term“transgender” is commonly accepted, not all TGNC people self‐identify as transgender."

Gender - "refers to the attitudes, feelings, and behaviors that a given culture associates with a person's biological sex. Behavior that is compatible with cultural expectations is referred to as gender-normative; behaviors that are viewed as incompatible with these expectations constitute gender non-conformity."

Sex - "refers to a person’s biological status and is typically categorized as male, female, or intersex (i.e., atypical combinations of features that usually distinguish male from female). There are a number of indicators of biological sex, including sex chromosomes, gonads, internal reproductive organs, and external genitalia"

Relatable.

@Juice

One of your sections is based on the definition of transgender, the sources they come from, the history of such, and who it is logically fallacious. It is important to be precise. Regardless I will save all of that for my rebuttal. I will try to have most of it typed out tonight, expect a post either tonight sometime around 3 or 4 or tomorrow.

I work best in the middle of the night don't ask why.

@Theweakeredge

5 days? I just couldn't be bothered doing it on the weekday. The definition is exactly the same, well, the important bits are. I'm interested to see your response.

@Juice

The number of logical fallacies that contained...... You spent 5 days on this argument? And you still got my position wrong? I very specifically told you that I did not use WHO or dictionary.com as a source for the definition of gender because it was outdated. The definition I use in the description is not from who, and paying attention would prove that.

And we're off!
