You’re in a conversation and someone says, “People can decide if they’re a boy, girl, or nonbinary because sex is just something assigned at birth.”

What Would You Say?

When confronted with this comment, remember that neither science nor logic support the idea that sex is assigned at birth and here are three reasons why:

1. A person’s sex is acknowledged, not assigned.
2. Sex is determined by our reproductive system.
3. Disorders of sexual development do not create new categories of sex.
