1) "This video is not for people who disagree with me." Well who the fuck is it for then? To massage your own ego? It doesn't say much for your debating skills if you have to exclude people who have different opinions. The simple response to the opposition is 'do some research'. Funnily enough that's the pathetic standard of argument throughout the whole video.
2) Just as a little side note, in no way is sex a social construct. In what way are scientific facts manipulated by social constructs? Doesn't this deluded idiot think it's weird that just about every single other species of animal has two different sexes. With the whole myriad of different social environments in the natural world, isn't it strange how transgender individuals are not found in nature. And secondly, if sex is a social construct then why does life revolve around sexual reproduction? That's the fusing of two different gametes from opposing sexes. How the fuck does that mean sex is socially constructed?
3) "Basing gender on perceived sex is oppressive." Assumptions are now oppressive apparently. You just couldn't help but play the victim card could you? When you haven't got a factual based argument to stand on you whip out the feelings, because of course they're far more important in a scientific debate.
4) "Biological sex has stuck around as unquestionable fact". Can't imagine why factual information would remain factual.
5) You don't need to test chromosomes at birth to identify the biological sex of a child, you can simply look at the phenotype, which is significantly different for males and females.
6) "You can't tell a person's chromosomes by looking at them". Yes you can, it's called karyotyping. And yes you can also get information from looking at them. You're actually describing the information you can see from them, it's called a phenotype, and is critical in understanding genetics. It's almost like chromosomes determine the sex characteristics of an organism isn't it? And since when are genitals not visible? What fucking bodies have you been looking at?
7) The biological definition of sex is not perfect, but it does describe a trend, and that's how scientific characteristics are assigned. It's true that some women are not going to have ovaries because of genetic defects or diseases such as cancer, but that's exactly the point, the difference are caused by disease and defects, and not by social changes. Would this person also think that humans are not biologically bipedal because Stephen Hawking uses a chair. 0.6% is the estimated American trans population, which is in no way significant.
8) Men with penises do vary in beard length, but surely the fact that women typically don't grow facial hair is proof that sex isn't a spectrum. The amount of testosterone an individual has in their body is a spectrum however, and the amount a person has depends on what sex they are. That's just basic genetic variation, and does at no point mean sex chromosomes are interchangeable. Your genes code for the amount of testosterone found in your body, not your feelings.
9) Yes you can have hormone treatment, BUT THAT DOESN'T ALTER YOUR SEX CHROMOSOMES. Just because you can lop off your cock doesn't mean biological sex is interchangeable. In fact lopping your cock off and having hormone treatment aren't natural in any way, so cannot be used to disprove that biological sex isn't a natural phenomenon.
10) "Genitals aren't a great indicator." I'll bet you a million pounds that genitals are a fucking great indicator, because aside from genetic defects, which obviously describe a trend, they are fucking great ways to distinguish between sexes. Either that or doctors look at the genitals of a baby just to be really awkward. And as previously explained removing a man's penis still makes him a man, because it doesn't alter his sex chromosomes. It doesn't matter if 3/5ths of a man is more commonly associated with females, because science does not work on a consensus, and the factor that causes sex differentiation has not been altered. How many fucking times am I going to have to repeat that?
11) "There's no reason to divide XX and XY people." I'm sure there's millions of reasons why this is such a fucking dumb idea. The main ones being medical care, scientific studies, and sexual reproduction. But yeah you're right, none of those things are important are they?
12) Yes sex is defined by things that are changeable. So is temperature, is that a social construct? Good luck in biologically altering your chromosomes. And yes the unchangeable parts do have a real world effect because they're your whole genetic makeup. Do this thing even understand what a gene is?
13) SEX IS NOT FLUID. YOU CAN'T CHANGE SEX CHROMOSOMES. Stop ignoring the critical role chromosomes play.
Well apparently this was proof that sex is a social construct. Sure there's some stupid counter-evidence, but where's the biology? Anyway, the bottom line is that sexual dimorphism is universal in humans. If that isn't the case then I implore this bellend to try and give birth, or if this thing isn't a biological man then find a biological man to try this experiment on. Sexual dimorphism is not a social construct, so whatever this thing is can fuck off. I have nothing wrong with people cutting themselves up because of a misconceived gender issue, but please don't you fucking dare try and manipulate evidence based scientific facts with this sociological feelings based bullshit.
