Gender is more complex than a binary. It’s not an inate thing, but it’s also not entirely a social construct.
No! It is just a social construct and by saying that you made yourself a whole lot of transphobic friends.
What it means to present as a man/woman changes over time. So there is no way gender can be innate to people.
If gender were a pure social construct then they wouldn’t feel wrong with the gender assigned to them by society.
Gender dysphoria is real but that doesn’t make gender not a social construct. If you want to be a woman and women wear dresses, you will want to wear a dress. If women wear hoodies, then you want to wear hoodies.
I never said you needed to care, I said you needed to be polite if you make a mistake.
Ok, from now on, every time you call me “deaf_fish”, I will tut tut you as say I think you mean “deaf_fish who likes the C programming language”. If you don’t remember to address me as such I will feel bad and it won’t be very polite of you.
Edit: I have a question for you if English never had gendered pronouns, would you still be disagreeing with me?
I am glad I went back to the basics.
