We can positively ID a person as a certain gender, but we can’t negatively ID them as not a certain gender.

This is the part I'm confused by. Positively identifying someone as one gender identity negatively identifies them as other gender identities. If you can identify someone as, for example, a woman, you also by definition have a way to negatively identify them as a man. So I don't think we have a definite way to positively or negatively identify someone.

I don't think this response effectively rebuts his comment

This is actually a general problem with strict definitions. See also the sandwich question. Definitions are in reality built more on consensus than rigor.

I don’t see any difference between male and female ability in regards to intelligence. Saying that their brain develops differently seems like an invitation to the argument, that women aren’t mentally able to do the stuff men do.

This is a pretty slippery-slope-ish argument. Brains have plenty of differences that don't have anything to do with general intelligence. There's a lot going on in there.

Noooo bigmachole got banned? Mods are you aware it's satire?

You cannot logically rebut a bad worldview. Plant seeds of doubt, protect yourself, and move on.

Well, I suppose it protects your session

Sorry, I must've misunderstood who the argument was about. That is indeed not hypocritical.
