6 panel comic, all panels show a student at a desk and a teacher pointing at a board

Top pair:

1 basic math(s): on the board is the number minus one within a root symbol, both within a red circle with a line through it, implying there is no root to minus one.

2 advanced math(s): on the board is the root of minus one equals i

Middle pair:

3 basic physics: on the board it says “3 states of matter”

4 advanced physics: on the board the it says “3 states of matter” but the 3 is crossed out and replaced with a 4 which is also crossed out and replaced with a 7+

Bottom pair:

5 basic biology: on the board it says: " 2 sexes" above a simple table that shows F and M

6 advanced biology: on the board it say: “sex ≠ gender” above a graph of bimodal distribution where one peak is marked M and the other F. At this point the student reacts: “Nooooooo!!!
My 2 genderinos”

    I didn’t know there was more than 4 states of matter. Neat.

    • Solid: Matter with a regular and fixed arrangement of particles.
    • Liquid: Matter with an irregular and flexible arrangement of particles.
    • Gas: Matter with no definite shape or volume, and particles that move freely.
    • Plasma: Matter that is ionized and electrically conductive.
    • Bose-Einstein condensate: Matter that is cooled to near absolute zero and forms a superfluid.
    • Fermionic condensate: Matter that is composed of fermions that pair up and behave like bosons.
    • Quark-gluon plasma: Matter that is extremely hot and dense, and consists of quarks and gluons.

    Also gender is like the photon: it’s a wave on a spectrum,

    It’s just not accurate to say gender as a spectrum is advanced biology. That isn’t to say gender isn’t a spectrum, but it’s not advanced biology.

      Fair, but when those arguing against you claim to have biology on their side and that it says there are only 2 genders, it becomes “advanced”, it’s all relative

      Most of psychology is entirely made up.

      But anyway, the fact that trans people exist would seem to contradict your premise.

          I’m not quite sure how gender not being equivalent to biological sex is confusing to you or anybody else. It’s a genuinely extremely simple concept, almost as simple as Apples not being Oranges. Nobody is denying that the biological sexes are different, that’s literally the point. Somebody who feels like their gender doesn’t match their sex will want to change their gender. Because gender is not scientifically able to be measured in anyway it’s entirely down to the individual. And best of all it doesn’t involve you at all so I don’t know why you care.

              If you’re going to use words scientifically, they need to actually describe something that is in the world and not just in your imagination.

              That’s ridiculous, there’s loads of things that are both real and all in our imagination. Such as the concept of imagination. Or bravery. Or intelligence. Or sociopathy.

              What a weird stance to take.

              You are an evil person actively doing trans people harm.
              Your “opinions” are bigoted garbage and you are bigoted garbage.
              Thanks for trying folks, in future just report and I’ll ban, no need to debate transphobes here

      Ok, so what is gender, and what is sex? The terms are used in different ways, why?
