Oh hey little buddy!

Sure thing. Claiming to have a gender identity in the first place is definitely not rooted in misogynistic stereotypes, nor is it narcissistic arrogance to insist that you have some internal understanding of what it is to be/think like the opposite sex. Not at all. 🙄

Eta- sexed features exist. Fact. Trans people alter their features to attempt to resemble the opposite sex all the time. Another fact.

Claiming that despite being a trans person you are against thr concept of gender and don’t reinforce it- false and comical.

It isn’t based on stereotypes its based off a sex trait group orientation instinct. Maybe.

It isn't like anything to be the “opposite sex” the term is defined by the experiences of the people existing not some essentialistic conception of “female” thought/experience, quit arguing against someone else’s argument.

I probably reinforce gender less than you do. I mean we know that you believe that there exist “male” and “female” appearances so thats pretty gender normative by itself.

Your posts, and posting history, give the exact opposite impression, LOL. They are replete with, and reflective of, the sexist sex stereotypes called "gender," in fact. And they make you come off as "typically male" as well as male supremacist.

Your chief aim here seems to be to "reinforce gender" by trying to get everyone else to agree with you that the regressive, sexist, misogynistic sex stereotypes you hold dear are both "instinctual" and universal in all humans (and some other primates too).

Your secondary aim here seems to be to make people think you are an authority on the issues under discussion.

I don't think you're making much progress in achieving either aim.

This has nothing to do with stereotypes and I never claimed to be an expert.

Also calling me “male” is both bad form, and stereotyping of people who actually identify as males.

Why is it "bad form" to name someone's sex. Male isn't something anyone can identify into or out of. It's just a basic fact of life, like female is. Also, male is not confined to "people." Millions of other animals as well as plant species are male or female too.
