"The slippery slope fallacy is an argument that claims an initial event or action will trigger a series of other events and lead to an extreme or undesirable outcome. The slippery slope fallacy anticipates this chain of events without offering any evidence to substantiate the claim."
Claiming that gender and sex isn't a simple black and white, either or dichotomy, does not automatically lead to 7 billion genders.
That's how.
Just because there are different varieties of (for example) male, doesn't mean they aren't all male.
That's..... That's kind of exactly what that means.....

Things are rarely as complicated as people would like to make them out to be.Is it more complicated then we think?

That's an anomaly and it doesnt mean there are more than 2 genders.
It can mean both male and female together. So not binary, possibly ternary.

Again doesn't mean there are more than 2 genders. Hermaphrodite isnt a gender it's a biological anomaly.
.I'll stick with the science.

I might agree

Spoke too soon, didn't you
No, you don't. Because you disagree with what's posted. And the science.
But nice attempt at playing "right".
People who are intersex have genitals, chromosomes or reproductive organs that don’t fit into a male/female sex binary.
Intersex: What Is Intersex, Gender Identity, Intersex Surgery
No, either sex can identify as the opposite gender, even as toddlers, before you'd think they had any awareness of sexuality at all. This is a real phenomonon, just like homosexuality. Children and adolescents will gravitate to the culturally typical dress and behaviors of the opposite sex. Some even insist they are that gender, or insist on dressing as it.
Now I don't understand it. I never recall "feeling" male, but this is what's reported and observed in many cases. Some people are truly uncomfortable with the social roles traditionally assigned their anatomical sex. If we value our neighbors' happiness and prosperity, why would we not do our best to accommodate them?
I didn't say they were. I've even met homosexual transexuals, if you know what I mean. Gender and sexual identity is quite diverse. Our awareness of of it may be new, but the diversity has always been there.
OK, keep in mind that we're differentiating between anatomical or genetic sex, and social "gender" identity.
So anyone with at least one X chromosome you're defining as female? That's not always a functionally or socially practical designation. Insisting on a binary designation of diverse social identities or chromosomal variants causes a lot of misery.
Such anomalies are quite common, though, and not only in humans.
I find it odd that gender diversity is such a hot-button issue. Why would anyone care?
Not quite sure what you are saying here; are you agreeing with me that the fact that there are differences between biological males, doesn't mean they aren't all males? Or am I misunderstanding you.
Probably the latter. But that's ok.
Of course! But lipstick and a wig does not make you a woman.
I don’t think there is such a thing as “feeling like a male”.
Traditional (sexist) roles have all been eliminated. If a biological female wants to be a soldier, that doesn’t mean she is a male.
Why do they need my accommodation to be happy? Why is it so important to them that I confirm what they want to believe about themselves?
So what did you mean when you said “to have male interests, and a sexual attraction to females”? And what are “male interests”? Is there such a thing anymore? If so, give examples.
The person I was initially responding to (post #4) said gender and/or sex.
No; I said with only X sex chromosomes.
True! These Abnormality happens with all mammals; and there is no they/them in the animal kingdom, they are all male/female; binary.
Yes! Why do they keep bringing it up? The way I see it; if you wanna believe a man can be a woman, and a woman can be a man, that’s fine; believe what you wanna believe. But if you gonna insist I believe it? That’s different.
Not just mammals. Homosexuality appears common in birds, as well.
Abnormality? Define, please. Is it a statistical thing? Are blond hair, green eyes or left handedness abnormal?
"...a man can be a woman, and a woman a man?" This is the same binary taxonomy that's been found to be wrong, no?
