Seen this on reddit and thought it was an interesting question that largely is not talked about.
It is largely an issue that gets sidelined and hidden because people don’t want to talk about it or accept that it exists. Hopefully this gets some traction to break that marginalisation.
Usted to be defensive back when I considered myself a male. Then I understood that “male” and “female” are not so much biological facts than a state of mind. Or a social role if you want to be generous.
Now I consider people who believe in gender to be idiots. Misandry and misogyny are both sides of the same coin - genderism. As is being proud to be male/female.
Generally male and female are used to refer to biological sex, and man/masculine and woman/feminine refer to gender.
You certainly have a valid point and I agree with you, but it is not nice to call people idiots.
That’s the strangest statement I’ve heard in a long time. If we’re talking about gender identity, then perhaps there’s some truth to it, but denying the existence of biological sex and the differences between men and women is akin to flat-earth level science denial.
I’m intentionally using a little bit of a provocative phrasing here to make people think. Hope it leads you down a rabbithole of philosophy and sociology trying to deal with sex and gender
You’re not using provocative phrasing; you’re redefining the meaning of words to align with your personal worldview. I’ve been there and done that. My entire sexuality has been nothing but a rollercoaster for several decades, but at no point has it led me to deny scientific facts. You can deny biological differences all you want, but that will only lead to you butting heads with the harsh reality of the world for the rest of your life.
Lol this is a similar level of cope as gay men who claim there’s no such thing as straight men.
You’re genderfluid, and that’s fine. Most people are not.
The entirety of the animal kingdom (of which we’re a member) would disagree with this.
