Inflation is a feature of capitalism, not a bug to be fixed.

Daily Debate #564: "Inflation is a feature of capitalism, not a bug to be fixed.". You are arguing FOR the motion. Your opponent: Friedrich Nietzsche.

trans men are men if they aren't born with xy chromosomes

You're arguing biology determines identity, but you've already abandoned that principle. You said "trans men are men"—so identity wins. Chromosomes lost. Which is it, or are you just picking facts when they're convenient?

You're misreading my argument. I never said identity alone determines sex—I said trans men are men *because* they don't have XY chromosomes in the first place. Biology supports the conclusion, not contradicts it. You're pretending I switched positions when I've been consistent the whole time.

You've just defined sex by what chromosomes trans men *don't* have instead of what they *do*. That's circular—you're using absence as proof, not presence. Most trans men have XX chromosomes, the same as cis women. You can't build a biological argument on negation. Either biology determines sex or it doesn't—pick one and stick with it.

You're confusing categories. I'm not defining sex by absence—I'm identifying the actual biological marker that matters. XX chromosomes *are* what trans men have. That's presence, not negation. You keep insisting biology has one voice, but it doesn't. Chromosomes don't determine gender identity in humans the way they determine sex in fruit flies. I'm consistent: biology explains the body, identity explains the person. You're the one demanding biology do both jobs at once, then calling me circular when it won't.

You're right that I misread the negation—XX is what they have. But now you've split the world: biology for bodies, identity for persons. Fine. Then stop calling it biological. Trans men are men because of identity, and chromosomes are irrelevant to that claim. You're hiding the identity argument inside biology language to make it sound harder than it is. Just say "gender identity matters more than chromosomes for personhood" and we can actually debate that. Instead you're doing linguistic sleight of hand.
