I see that all your viewpoints are now revolving around bowing down to material reality. It sounds to me like you're dependent on the system and impulsively fighting to protect it. When it comes to that point I tend to think the person is just making excuses to justify the world's atrocities. It's ironic how you try to present submitting to material reality as "self acceptance", when that's literally giving yourself up.

I don't really believe I have a gender really, or that anyone does. That's also part of this material reality crap. There's just something wrong with this particular brain. You do have an internal body map and this is why amputees feel like they still have lost members. I'm guessing that's where the problem is, along with some sense of how to perceive the world and use my brain. But I'm not a doctor or a brain scientist. Beyond that I'm skeptical of any male/female differences that aren't hormonal or cultural.

That's not true. My viewpoints are that if someone makes a claim - you - there's an innate gender something - you need to prove it. If you don't really believe it, then why is it being argued is real? Why is it being pushed as real on children? Why is it being pushed to change law? Amputees once HAD their lost body part. You don't have an internal map for a body you never had. Do you believe you can be transracial?

I'm not claiming to understand how it works. I don't even know what it is. And those who are pushing it on anyone, let alone children, most certainly don't. But it does happen in a small number of people; whether that's enough to consider them a different gender is up for debate.
