Get some fucking perspective
If gender is a social construct, then why are they giving people hormones?

A social construct is a concept that exists not in objective reality, but as a result of human interaction. In the case of sex hormones for trans people, and if gender is a social construct, it would be to influence the way people interact.

"Trans" is a social construct, sex is an objective reality.

You can kick a transwoman in the balls, you can not kick a transwoman in the trans.

You can kick a transwoman in the balls
Are you saying a transwoman who has had bottom surgery isn't a transwoman anymore? Are they a cis woman in that case?
you can not kick a transwoman in the trans.
So you would say that because you can't kick a black man in the black, race is a social construct?
That's unusually enlightened for this part of the internet. Congratulations on your social construct of intelligence, that is not an objective reality because you can't be kicked in the intelligence.

That's a castrated man with a meat-mâché simulacrum of a vagina.
You certainly can kick a black man in the black, although I wouldn't recommend it as they're prone to violence.
Congratulations on your social construct of intelligence, that is not an objective reality because you can't be kicked in the intelligence.
We've known for quite awhile that the seat of intelligence is the brain, kicking someone's head in would have a marked effect on their intelligence.

So you agree that if it's a social construct, then they don't need hormones.
[–]ActuallyNot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun - 8 months ago (16 children)
No. I agree that if it's a social construct then the need for hormones would be to act on that social construct. Vis. to influence the way people interact.
How did you get from there to "don't need"?

I don't know, is it?

It's biological. 100%.
That's why they have surgeries to pretend at the other sex.

Are gender and sex the same thing?
[–]Tom_Bombadil 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun - 8 months ago (11 children)
Male/female. Boy/girl. Man/woman.
Trans gender women want to be women. They want to change their gender. Transition their gender from male to female. They try to have sex changes.

I'm not understanding your meaning.
