Debate Topic : There are only two genders.

Now, Let's jump straight into it. Context Now, Just to set the record straight. I am not here to debate on the premise that gender and sex are completely correlated. I do believe that sex does not necessarily determine gender, As the complexity behind the biology of a human being is much more intricate. However, When we are born we either have XX or XY chromosones. That much is an undisputed fact. As such, The laws of nature and society have dictated that while things are deeper than they appear, There are also limits. I shall now present my case. Argument One - The Biological Argument The simple fact is that we as human beings are designed to be one of two genders : Male or female. No more, No less. While we can say that XX and XY chromosones are not the sole determinents of gender identity, Such as stating that children are unaware of their gender identities as young individuals, There still remains a constant. And that is two. If someone was to come out as transgender, There is nothing wrong with that. If someone was born intersex with both characteristics of a boy and a girl, Vice versa. It is up to the individual to determine who he or she is. However, He or she cannot be anything other than a man or a woman. Those are the parameters of the society that we live in. And that is the precedent that we should set. Any argument that has stated that any of these people classify for a non-binary third gender do not have scientific weight to back that up. There is a scientific question about it, That much is not being disputed. But phenomenons play no part in altering that which is basic biology. Argument Two - Gender dysphoria Stating that there are more than two genders creates an inherent uncertainty amongst many young individuals who seek to better understand who they are as people. When we fail to draw the line as to the limitations of the human element people will without a doubt be conditioned to believe that gender is a very fluid construct. Don't get me wrong, Encouraging people to be comfortable in coming out as who they are is inherently important. However, If we want to tell our kids to reject their identities in favour of being a non-binary homosapien to conform with society's new belief structure that you can be anything and everything you choose to identify as, Then you're going to face some serious problems in the future. I can't just come out tomorrow saying that I identify as a rabbit just because I believe that I have the characteristics and biological mindset that I am a rabbit and then expect everyone to recognize me as such. When we start to adopt a non-binary approach to gender in society, Then we pave the way for a variety of ridiculous loopholes that serve no purpose other than to alienate males and females from their own identities. If someone wants to come out tomorrow saying that he's neither a man nor a woman, That person can do so provided it lives in his own bubble without expecting the rest of society to conform to its identity. Because there is simply no great scientific study which can back that up at all. Argument Three - Social Application The argument surrounding the non-binary third gender is highly controversial and often gets unnecessarily convoluted. For example, Activists in the past used to argue that gender is only a social construct while sex is a biological reality. Now they argue that sex is a social construct while gender identity is destiny. You can infer what I am getting at here. The lack of scientific application of being 'non-binary' in the real world has led to a lot of subjectivity on the topic of transgenderism. And since a great deal of this is subjective based on the individual, It's almost ridiculous to expect society to accept each and every one of these seperate definitions that each and every activist has on the topic of transgenderism. Like I said before, Drawing a line and stating with a firm grip that there are only either men or women in the world today is necessary. Those that are transgenders are not transgenders at all. If a woman is born with the biological mindset that he is male, Then he is male. Vise versa, A man who identifies as a woman is a woman. And that is that. Nothing else. The terminology of transgenderism has become so convoluted and ridiculous that it has no social application in society whatsoever. And with that I now turn the floor to my opponent to present his case. Apologies for the slight lack of detail, I was a little preoccupied finishing another debate up. With what my opponent now presents I shall use the next round to elaborate in greater detail. Over to you.
