When Dawkins says he is a cultural Christian, he means that this is the religion he was brought up in and which was prevalent in his environment, and it's the religion he first started to deconstruct on his way to becoming an atheist. This doesn't mean he is somewhat/a type of Christian. The vast majority of Europeans and Americans (as well as other countries) are cultural Christians, no matter what they believe in. There's nothing disingenuous in observing, as an atheist, that one religion is more dangerous than another. Islam is, objectively, more violent at this moment (as a religion, not all individuals in it).

Determined vs defined. The mechanistic system by which a developing embryo is sent down the male or female developmental pathway is referred to as the “sex determination system”. It occurs at the species level. Humans use the XY sex determination system. Other species may use the XO system or temperature-dependent system, etc. Sex is defined at the organismal level based on the gamete they produce or would be expected to produce.

Robert Sapolsky has much better and more interesting views on human behavior. JK has been pushed to this point I think though, I would urge you to look into what she actually stands for because I too, like you thought she was taking it too far, but I think she is actually doing something important now.

on the topic of sex determination vs definition, sex determination is the biological process an organism goes through to become what we would call a male or a female whereas definition is more looking at sex across species and deciding what we should call a male versus a female. when dawkins says there are no exceptions that is true because we define it that way. the problem with what dawkins is saying is i think we should make a distinction with how we think about sex when looking across species versus looking at humans specifically, and especially deciding whether an individual human is male or female. as you said there are people who produce both types of gametes and people who produce neither. there are many other characteristics that make up sex in human beings which really matter. as you mentioned, your hormones matter very much in a medical sense, and to touch on the initial topic, this does matter for scientific research since a lot of research just lumps everyone into the category of male or female the applicability of these studies for trans and intersex individuals unclear. it seems to be relatively common to see people with an evolutionary biology background that think of sex in the way that dawkins does, which makes sense at it is useful to simplify it down to just gamete size when looking across species but its disappointing to people so unwilling to adopt a different way of thinking in a different context. as a side note sex dimorphism is when a species has differences in size, appearance, etc between males and females. i think what you were referring to is hermaphroditism, which is when members of a species are both male and female.

You disagreed that genes have an effect on a person's sexual orientation? Because that's all Richard Dawkins was saying about sexuality, that there seems to be a genetic component that helps to determine sexual orientation. What is objectionable about that? That people can't choose their genes? Aren't you afraid of holding that position? There are four ways for genetics to relate to sexual orientation. 1. That there is SOME genetic basis; 2. there is NOT SOME genetic basis; 3. there is NO genetic basis; or 4. it's ALL based in genetics. There are no other options. Dawkins is supporting option #1. You seem to disagree. So your options are 2, 3 and 4. I assume you disagree with #4, which leaves #'s 2 and 3. If there is NO genetic basis, sexual orientation must be decided/imposed by some non-genetic component (probably culture, society, or environment). That would mean that conservatives are justified when they try to pray the gay away (if they see anything other than heterosexual as bad that is). I don't think you hold this view either, because you probably think that people don't decide their sexuality. That means your position is probably #3, that there is SOME evidence that is NOT genetic influences a person's sexuality. But someone holding position #3 gives the appearance of not wanting there to be evidence for a genetic basis to sexuality. In other words, you (if you do actually hold position #3) seem to want evidence for position #4. You seem to want there to be NO genetic basis for sexuality. You seem to want sexuality to be influence solely by non-genetic factors (culture, society, or environment) which means that conservatives would be justified by keeping non-heterosexual teachers out of their kids' schools. Wouldn't it? If you read this all, thank you for your time. I hope you'll reconsider your position. You can disagree with Dawkins on how sex should be defined without disagreeing with everything he says.

@@Chloe-qd5vx I agree. The science or rather lack thereof has leaked. Puberty Blockers are the same medication described to chemically castrate sex offenders. The Center for Investigative Reporting revealed in 2017 that the FDA had received more than 10,000 adverse event reports from women who were given Lupron off-label as children to help them grow taller. They reported thinning and brittle bones, teeth that shed enamel or cracked, degenerative spinal disks, painful joints, radical mood swings, seizures, migraines and suicidal thoughts. Some developed fibromyalgia. There were reports of fertility problems and cognitive issues. The medication has a detrimental impact on the development of IQ, control groups have shown consistent results that were peer-reviewed and agreed upon. The FDA in 2016 ordered AbbVie to add a warning that children on Lupron might develop new or intensified psychiatric problems.Transgender children are at least three times as likely as the general population to have anxiety, depression and neurodevelopmental disorders. Last year, the FDA added another warning for children about the risk of brain swelling and vision loss.
