I will learn to accept that modern gender roles are increasingly arbitrary due to increasing socioeconomic decoupling from bodies. If theyfab baristas can pilot drones, and men never have to be stronger than women, gender is just pointless sexual aesthetic.

Ok

This gender thing is retarded to explain the trans experience, I don't want to be "the woman gender" I just want to be a woman, completely unrelated to normgroid society and their idea of gender
>>
transgenderism just enforces existing gender roles
you can't "become a woman" without acting out stereotypes you associate with femininity
>>
>>43160425
It’s almost like they’re men imitating women.
>>
>>43160425
you have to be a special kind of retard to think mtf or ftm are on average more gender conformist than their cis counterpart. Also, cis people "act on their gender" in the most pathetic, larpy and tribalistic way imaginable
>>
>>43160435
they don't admit that
and they fucking suck at imitation
>>
>>43160445
You say this as if trannys don’t default to misogyny when some TERFs (aka real women) dont adhere to beauty standards for women. I believe since real women don’t have to present in a feminine way, and they still have their womanhood this pisses off trans women who wish they were female
>>
>>43160477
yeah because terfs never mock trans people appearances or cis women appearances that are too masculine all the time kek. You clearly haven't thought about any of this for more than 30 seconds, just mindlessly repeating the 4chan talking tree

That's not what I meant. I'm not trying to say transgender people don't exist. I'm saying that as the traits which actually make masculinity distinct (increased strength, goal-oriented thinking, disinclination towards emotional intimacy) are just straight up penalties in a more connected world where more high-income professions are accessible to both genders (because they're knowledge work, not manual work at all), gender as expressing any sort of immutable truth becomes increasingly absurd.

This is why masculinity, which has generally always been defined as "don't be women" is becoming interpreted by wide swathes of men as literally "don't be productive citizens capable of knowledge work", because knowledge work is done better by well-socialized people... which tend to be women.

Other than having a vagina and not growing facial hair, what actually distinguishes a trans woman from a man in our age? Almost any trait that could be applied to a trans woman would be applied to a man. "They're brave, courageous, thoughtful, caring." These are all gender neutral traits. If you said something like "they love children," that would have been gendered in the past, but is now gender neutral.

terfs don't look like men like trans women do
the fact that trannies insult women's appearance for being masculine just shows they are superficial and not serious as well as demonstrating how trannies enforce gender conformity

(Cont.) Your "felt reality" is just aesthetics. Other than physical morphology, we're just trending towards a world where there's nothing actually feminine about wearing dresses because men can wear them too, and nothing masculine about working with a pickaxe because women can do that, taking strength boosters. Working-class shows will idealize women who resemble rugby players as desirable. What will you actually do to show that you're a woman.

The only thing holding us back right now is sentimental attachment to gender roles. Men are scared of reading books because it makes them women. If reading books makes you the other gender, maybe gender is already just paper thin.

Bitch ass nigga thinks men still hunt and women still gather. In civilized societies women and men have the agency to do whatever the fuck they want. Will they face persecution? Probably, so do emo’s for being alternative
>>
well i think the thing is gender qua category isnt necessarily the linchpin. the implication line reading books -> feminine -> not masculine -> weak will simply become reading books -> weak. gender is often simply a conduit, not its own phenomenon.
>>
>>43160721
>men have agency
explain the draft and infant male circumcision
men can't even hold hands in public without being shunned for being gay

a lot of people don't even have opposite sex friends, unless those friends are gay, esp. if they are married, gender roles didn't go away
>>
>>43160764
I think you need to go out more. Your way of thinking is very regressive.
>>
>>43160721
Look, I think you think you're talking to an incel or something, I personally want this state. I think gender's a load of shit, and people who spend their lives trying to be their assigned gender are comical, wasting their lives worrying about nonsense. It always cracks me up when trans women worry about passing, because look: gender is already dissolving. If Ilona Maher had transitioned at 22, she'd be a fucking gigahon or whatever. But she's just a woman. Most of people in repgen would probably pass better than Maher does, but Maher is not even trans. And if you truly don't pass, you can just get FFS, because gender it turns out is just inches of bone in your skull.

If you want to imagine there's some essential femininity that's been denied to you, you're welcome to. But it's just cosplaying an imaginary role, and some people who do it have a vagina from birth, and some people get surgeries. But they're both just using their imagination, hoping others buy it.

I think gay people should be set free from gender roles and that won't happen until transgenderism is abolished once and for all. Transgenderism is inevitably a series of social and sexual restrictions whose burden falls disproportionately on those were "once were" gay.

Abolish gender roles!
Remove all sex segregation!

>>43160808
They literally are. Gays wear makeup, wear whatever and act fem all the time. What the fuck are you talking about
>>
>>43160941
go to any dating app for gays and you will find plenty of "married" and closeted and discreet men
>>
>>43160953
That’s literally a fetish my guy. They get off on pretending to be straight
>>
>>43160414
>idea of gender

they only started asking this question like ten years ago they don't believe things or think about ideas
>>
>>43160969
