Why is smooth skin associated with feminine, none of the females I have seen including myself have smooth skin, are you saying I'm less female for not having smooth skin :/

Do you believe gender exists and is biological then? I thought GCs believe gender is not biological and is actually a social construct even if there are differences between the hair, skin, bones, etc of males and females

I have only heard transmedicalists argue gender is biological and is not a social construct, like Blaire White argues gender is biological because of the differences in hair, body, bones, etc of males and females and he says there are male and female brains because he's a transmedicalist; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9WqfBDjRF8

At the end he calls "feminine" men and "masculine" women "defects"

I'm not gc and I'm closer to transmedicalists or trans realists. I don't think you can abolish gender.

Benjamin A Boyce is trying to coin the term "gender positive" (on YouTube).

yeah I've watched a lot of his content. I'm not sure I agree with him but I appreciate all the interviews he's done.

I'll need to look up his definition video.

A basic question I have for him is he can't really agree with gc that gender can and ought to be abolished. He's really far too essentialist for them. But he also kind of agrees with every anti trans ideology around.

I do agree that a lot of gender theory is an absolute mess.

I do wonder if a new gender theory will emerge. More robust and scientific. But it's so politically difficult. I think it's true that defining the "gender is," can quickly become the "gender ought."
