I don't know if you're purposely misunderstanding what I'm saying just to appear aloof. I said two posts ago I don't know much more on the topic of gender beyond what I just now read in a dictionary and have known for awhile.
So that's just it then I guess? I'm arguing with a loving dictionary? Are you just gonna stuff out "I DONT KNOW" every time I hit you with a point that requires thinking?
How do you know that people don't take gender seriously? I mean, I don't know either except for the fact that you're still arguing about this.
There are people who take gender seriously. Just as there are people who take bigfoot seriously lmao
I think the common pronouns I listed earlier explains what "gender" is supposed to be. If you still don't get it then I don't know what else to say
How the forget is anyone supposed to understand it? Nobody can give an adequate definition other than "something to do with masculinity and femininity and we need labels for ???????? reasons because something something something in the mind, also you're wrong if you disagree"
You're basically just projecting onto the argument now. I gave the textbook definition of gender. If that's not good enough for you, then find your own god damn definition
The 'textbook definition' says it appeals to social and cultural differences. AKA: A made up social fairytale for special snowflakes. I am trying very hard to find a legitimate definition that is not this, but all I'm getting is "the definition of gender is; gender"
This line of thought is perpetuated by a small amount of people that reside in their own corner of the internet. I can assure you most people don't think like this.
And yet, they still exist, within the confines of your handicappedly loose and infinitely changing definition of 'gender'. You just agree that the ideology sounds loving stupid when applied to an extreme case so you're quick to throw these cases under the bus to defend the pile of garbage as a whole.
Where is this horsestuff even coming from? This is almost completely unrelated to everything I've been saying. If you want to go yell at somebody for this, then actually find a place where this is relevant instead of complaining to us
You were asking for a definition and I gave the conventional definition. Yet that still wasn't enough, I guess. At this point you're better off doing your own research since you're not going to be content with anything anyone here says.
You asked if being a male-to-female transloveual meant that you have latent feelings of washing dishes. If you don't think that's a stupid question than you have more deep seated issues than the "sjws" you're complaining about.
You're not even arguing anymore.
There you go again calling pronouns useless. There's a reason we say "That's her soda" instead of saying "That's its soda". That's how english works. The removal of masculine or feminine pronouns would be extremely confusing.
I'm calling stupid made-up pronouns useless, because they are. The only 'masculine' pronoun is the male pronoun and the only 'feminine' pronoun is the female pronoun, and when you start assigning different pronouns to the wrong people for 'muh identity' reasons, stuff gets confusing.
I can't answer a lot of these questions because I'm not trans. Research them yourself, listen to what people have to say with an open mind instead of dismissing it with "lol you're delusional"
Maybe you should try and think about it instead of dismissing me with "lol you're wrong" then kek
I'd research it if I wanted to. I'm asking you, because you're actively defending it on the internet.
Actually I did provide a link full of history, but OK, whatever you say lol
You provided a link to two centuries of people saying the same stuff and still failing to give a legitimate reason as to why anyone should prioritize gender over biological love.
Are you actually claiming transgender doesn't exist? Look around. And before you dismiss them as delusional, read into biology a bit. Here's how prenatal development works: in the womb, a lot of stuff is controlled by hormones. If something goes wrong at the wrong time, stuff can develop improperly. Ex: if a child has XY chromosomes, it's genetically a male, but if there isn't enough testosterone present during the proper time in the womb, it will develop with a vagina.This is stuff that's well known, and if you don't believe me, you can look it up yourself. You keep saying "biological love" but in this example you having two conflicting biological aspects.
So what you are pretty much saying is that being trans-gendered is a product of defective development in the womb? Yeah, I agree it can be possible to become confused with something like androgen insensitivity syndrome, but at what point does the 'gender identity' come into play? At the end of the day, this person is still either very male or female. Biological defects will still never create a third gender.
Also, I'm fairly sure that in order to start hormone therapy or love reassignment surgery, you need a psychiatrists OK. So there's that factor in determining whether someone is legit or just attention seeking, an actual professional in the field, far more knowledgeable on the subject than you or I
You don't need a psychiatrists OK to bitch on the internet about how society won't accept your true identity.
