Nobody ever can define "gender"

submitted by xxo1111 from self.GenderCritical

I ask people, what is, for example, a woman?

They answer "somebody who identifies as a woman" Yeah, but what is the woman they identify as? They don't answer the question, they just part the narrative they're force fed.

What is gender? It's a social construct right? What if a person identifies as trans but is stuck on a desert island or lives in seclusion from society? They would still be trans even if they didn't participate in society. Is it a psychological construct? If yes, how is it any different from gender expression? And why do trans people always get body dysphoria, even if they don't get gender role dysphoria? Doesn't that show that it's somehow connected to sex?

So many fucking questions and if you question their narrative you're a heretic and a bigot and on the same level as a nazi or a religious zealot.

They can't even define 'female'. I think instead of saying "sex vs. gender" we should start making clear what is actually meant: male & female vs. masculine & feminine. Most of the time: female vs. feminine, should suffice. E.g. female is real, femininity is a construct.

They want to appropriate the terms used for sex: woman, girl, female etc. to refer to femininity.

I never noticed the gender dysphoria thing before. It's true of gender incongruence too. Gender incongruence criteria is the strong desire to be the opposite sex, &/or the strong dislike of your own sex. So 'gender' in both cases is referring to sex.

So, you're right, in order for transgender to even be a thing a woman has got to be an adult human female. A transgender person is someone whose sex & preferred sex are mismatched – this definition is probably hate-speech, for being too straightforward. It simply says 'sex', instead of "assigned biological natal sex at birth". They even get triggered by the tautological 'biologically male', but won't hesitate to call Caitlyn Jenner 'female', never "socially re-assigned female after transition". It's a sexist double standard.

That's because their narrative is bullshit and they know it. The only defense they have is to attack anyone questioning it.

Many do claim to get gender role dysphoria. They say wearing dresses gives them gender dysphoria if FTM and wearing pants causes dysphoria for MTF

I wonder how they feel about togas and kilts?

And that's why the transgender ideology is BS. Well I mean beside that fact that one cannot change sex and that women are not a sub-class of their sex, these people can't even define what "gender" means. They don't understand that all "Gender" really is, is just "Masculinity" and "femininity", personality and interest traits that ANYONE can lean one way or the other on. Never mind the fact that these people don't understand where the concept of "Gender identity" came from which was the pedophilic sexologist/psychologist John Money and his messed up experiment he did with David Reimer and his twin brother Brian Reimer. Whenever I bring this up, these people don't even know that.

Like s/SnowAssMan said, these people want to cancel out sex and have femininity define women and masculinity define men because it's the only where their little ideology works and that's why they get pissed at Gender Critical people because we see through it and know it's bullshit.
