Contradiction

Nice

Uuuuugh.

"Social construct" does not mean "fictional."
"Gender" is not the same as "sex."
All of this is new neurological, genetic, and psychological territory, and should be treated as such ("let's study this and try to understand it" rather than "this doesn't exist" or "this is absolutely and concretely a thing").
None of this threatens you or your way of life. Choose kindness.

If gender is not the same as sex (it is), then why are leftists so upset that Trump is trying to get the wording of laws changed from "gender" to "sex", when "sex" is what was explicitly meant by the use of "gender" at the time they were written?

Legally, gender and sex are the same thing, and he isn't saying that social construct equals fictional, he's stating that is male and female is subjective, we could actually say that females are abusing males because the terms male and female are subjective to the user. As for kindness, you cannot lie to someone about who or what they are(including if that person is yourself) and pass it off as kindness. Lying is the opposite of kind, its evil. It's why my parents didn't teach me santa claus exists; they loved me enough to do that

When something is a "social construct", that doesn't mean that it's necessarily subjective (at least, not in the way the word "subjective" is commonly used); it just means that it's determined by the society rather than biology. Male and female absolutely exist in our society, and very concretely at that.

Re: kindness: once again, this is new territory that requires research and serious study. Those who ascribe to the "there are more than two genders" side aren't lying - they have a hypothesis that is born out of personal experience. Like literally everyone in the world. Be kind, recognize that someone believing there are more than two genders doesn't hurt you in any way, and if you really care about the issue, fund some actual research that gives actual answers.

besides, what are you talking about, it isn't determined by biology. How do you think we got the terms in the first place?! Besides, false authority. The "society" you speak of is just filled with people trying to push their IDEAS onto others, and are willing to do whatever it takes to further their own agenda. As for it not hurting us in any way, lets talk about the Texas wrestler Mack Beggs, who was born a biological girl and decided at a young age (along with her mother's permission) to start increasing her levels of testosterone to that of an adult male. She then decided that she was a girl again (idk why) and further decided to enter multiple wrestling tournaments as a girl. She DOMINATED every single tournament that she entered, to the point where some question whether she should play entirely. If you take a look at this girl/boy, she looks like a dude in almost every respect, including size. Don't tell me transgenderism isnt starting to hurt other people around them when stuff like this happens.

I'm explaining the term "social construct" as it relates to gender, that's all. Your perspective on the subject is absolutely valid, but also wasn't in question.

Societal norms are a powerful thing, albeit nebulous, often contradictory, and changeable (see: dress codes in a business setting). If you think societal norms don't carry authority, try getting a job with a face tattoo. If people trying to push their ideas on to other people disqualifies them as an authority, then there are no human authority figures.

Mack Beggs did not decide to be a girl again. He was required by the state of Texas to compete against girls because he was born with female genitalia. He continually pushed to be able to compete on the boys' team, but was denied. He'll finally be competing in the men's division in college.

This situation shows not that "transgenderism" is hurting people, but that the lack of acceptance of trans people hurts people. If he'd been allowed to compete where he belonged, no girls would feel cheated out of a shot at the state title. Their disappointment is not caused by the fact that Mack is trans; it's caused by Texas' failure to recognize it.

I think they shouldn't have put the people who did have to wrestle him/her through that.

If the "they" you're referring to is Texas' University Interscholastic League, I agree with you. They should have let him wrestle with the boys, where he belonged.

no i think that they should have put his/her legitimacy as a boy or as a girl to the test, and they should have not even let him/her wrestle if he/she was over the weight restrictions for that class.(im not saying that he/she was, but he/she could have been)

He wrestled at the proper weight, that's not in question that I'm aware. The reason he'll be wrestling in the men's division in college is due to the amount of testosterone he's taking - it's a simple rule that doesn't even take gender into account. Pretty genius, really. No need to take a stance on a controversial issue, while providing a path for trans people to compete where they belong and keeping short-minded people from altering their bodies just for a competitive advantage.

yeah

I don't believe a corrupt society should be where we get our traditions and our ideals

just because your personal experience says its so doesnt make it true

Tell that to people who believe in God. I'm sure that'll go over well.

i believe in God, but i don't base my belief off soley personal experience. That would be naive

;)

ig thats a good idea XD

i hate it when people say there are more than two genders but as soon as i start beating my wife oh no you're "abusing women" and "sexist"

i cant remember the statistics on this may may, but i do know women abuse their children more. might be because a bunch of dads run away so the mum is the only one there to beat them lazy zoomers but i dont know

shuttup nerd nice tumblr glasses XDDDDDDx
