GC: Thoughts on xenogenders and neopronouns? Why should "male" and "female" not be defined to mean one's gender besides sex? And if gender identity is not a real thing, why do cis, trans, nonbinary, etc people exist who have an internal sense of whether they're male, female, both, or neither?

Femaleness has nothing to do with feminineness inherently. It is something enforced on the majority of female people.

Male people do not receive this socialisation, and the claim that it is inherent reinforces the idea that female=pink!sparkles!maths hard:( Males who naturally gravitate towards things deemed feminine are feminine men. Not women.

Personally, I don’t identify as female or as a woman. I identify as a craftswoman and artisan. I identify as an aunt and housewife and sister. My femaleness is merely a fact, like my blonde hair or loose ligaments. It’s unhealthy to have an identity largely or wholly rooted in ones propensity to obey or disobey gender norms enforced on their respective sex.
