how can you be transgender if gender is a social construct and therefore not real?
how can you be transsexual is sexuality is biological and therefore immutable?
>>
>>43379112
>if it's biological it's therefore immutable
Retard logic

>>
(mental) gender and (reproductive) sex are both immutable so transgender and transsexual are both inadequate or misleading terms
>>
>>43379168
trans means across not changing
we just have bnct sizes of the opposite sex

and sex isnt immutable
>>
>>43379112
sex is real, but it is also not immutable. also you can change your gender expression without changing your sex.
>>
>>43379112
transgender and transsexual are words that describe a group of people, so arguments about the meaning of the words doesn't actually matter that much - said people are going to exist whether or not you like the word they use to refer to themselves

how can you be american if nationality is a social construct and therefore not real?
the answer is that gender is social construct but it matters and the belief that you are the gender you identify as is not the same as saying that gender is social construct
>>
>>43379112
social constructs are a thing humans make to communicate and operate in the world. money is one, and so is the idea of a tree. the idea that gender and sex are complete immutable is retarded when it's very clearly not. inject someone with estrogen for long enough and their bodies change. the idea of Man and Woman is ultimately subjective and vibes based, there is no standard that doesn't include or exclude everyone you want to be men and women. usamericans have to be the most retarded people alive
>>
>>43379257
nationality is not an attribute of your physical being or personality.
saying nationality isn't real is like saying toyota owners aren't real.
you don't really understand the concept.

America is a real country therefore i am an American

yeah money is just as real as a tree lmao
you don't even believe your own bs, how can you expect me to?
>>
>>43379785
retard, it's our classification calling something a tree that isn't real. wipe away humans from existence and the things we call trees will remain but the rules that we decided is the definition of trees won't please read with comprehension you ape

How are you on 4chan and have never heard of stereotypes? It's the concept that people from different countries look and act a certain way.
>>
>>43379112
even without the concept of transsexuality id still be considered a sexual anomaly that’s incompatible with most people so i don’t give a fuck really
>>
>>43380026
that has to do with ethnicity and culture, not legal standing as a citizen
>>43379862
we classify trees based on their immutable attributes.
a tree was a tree before we understood what it meant to be a tree
>>
>>43380027
Trans women are normal dyadic male men. Having severe autism doesn’t make you a woman.
>>
>>43380104
Gender is legally recognized.
Culture is involved in what traits are considered masculine and feminine.
People are told they "don't look" American, similar to being told they don't look female.
I don't get how you don't get this. It's kind of fascinating.
>>
>>43379112
gender is real caused by hormones
gender roles and the social performance of those roles are the construct
cis gendered people preferred gender role aligns with their natal sex
trans gender people preferred gender role aligns with the opposite natal sex
hope thos helps.
>>
>biological and therefore immutable?
biology is mutable. we can make blue corn.
>>
>>43380322
the legal recognition of gender is a reaction.
the government did not invent gender, it is not intrinsic to a nation.
you still don't understand nationality vs culture or ethnicity.
>>
>>43379112
>how can you be transgender if gender is a social construct and therefore not real?
they have ulterior motives for proping up the social construct of gender
>how can you be transsexual is sexuality is biological and therefore immutable?
by exploiting the fact that a surgically inverted penis is homologous to a vagina in most contexts
>>
>>43380405
trvke
the point is that the body is more mutable than one's gender identity
>>
>>43380496
Legal recognition of gender is a reaction
And yet, while humans weren't created by the government, freed slaves in the United States were recognized as people as a reaction to the Civil War. Laws move. It's why we have an appeals system.
>don't understand culture vs nationality and ethnicity
So make me understand. Again, you fascinate me cos you seem so autistic you can't understand parallels if the names are different, since that's all you've got so far.
>>
>>43380381
gender is determined entirely by chromosomes >>43380405
>>
>>43380608
i already explained what nationality is. didn't you learn this in middle school?
the rest of that isn't relevant to anything.
>>43380405
yeah by manipulating genetics. they don't turn the corn blue after it's grown.
>>
>>43380822
>they don't turn the corn blue after it's grown.
if we did, the corn wouldn't be any less blue
>>
>>43380952
thus proving you view gender/sexuality as nothing more than an aesthetic
>>
>>43380730
no. you could argue partially but definitely not entirely. it's mostly hormones
>>
>>43381012
everything is aesthetic
>>
>>43380104
the label and the trees themselves are quite mutable. we made bananas into something meant for birds into something meant for humans. same with corn, or potatoes or apples and carrots. your certainty in your correctness stinks of american burger farts.

nooo you cant compare humans to cultivars! reeeeee

manipulating genetics is not the same as chopping off your dick
not to mention the fact that everything we've genetically modified is a warped abomination in comparison to it's natural form.
most fruits and vegetables don't even produce seeds and broiler chickens are crushed under their own weight after a year.
these things exist to be consumed.

How can you respond to this thread seriously? Just look at picrel

Something can be a social construct and still real. Money is a social construct, it has value bc society has agreed it does. Money's still real. Social construct = man made idea dependent on social consensus

Thus quoth the chud, fouling the /lgbt/ thread for many hours together, answering each post within the space of two minutes. Children perishing of blood cancer is Nature in her most natural form, and yet do we battle against it daily at monstrous cost. Thou retardest thine own self with a caveman’s philosophy, crying ‘Ugh, me think Nature only good and civilization evil!’ even as thou hammerest upon thy computer and devourest thy bread. Go then, shit thyself to death in the wild woods upon naught but savage berries, good Grug. The world would be far the sweeter without such as thee.

Both of your questions start from false premises.

Just because something is a social construct doesn’t mean it isn’t “real” in a practical sense—because we live in society. Money is a social construct, and so is language for that matter. If you want to take the position that neither of those things are “real,” then I don’t know what to tell you.

Just because something is biological doesn’t mean it’s “immutable.” Hair color is biological—it’s genetic—but you can also dye your hair. Eyesight is biological, but you can get contacts. Gene-editing technology alone forecloses almost any version of your position.

For the record, I’m a cisgay and I find most trans people annoying. But I find midwits who think they are smart one hundred thousand times more annoying.
>>
>>43384689
you don't know what immutable means. dying your hair does not change your actual hair color. you're just hiding it.
bleaching your hair blonde does not make you a blonde, it makes you a brunette with bleached hair. you will never be blonde. you will never be a woman. you're just a pretender. the only person you're fooling is yourself.
money and language are not personal attributes, they are systems. everyone knows that money and language are not real,
nobody demands that you believe money has innate physical value.
you are not required to pretend that a dollar is not a cotton sheet dyed green, everyone knows and accepts this. the value of a dollar and it's physical form are not in any way at odds with one another.
by contrast, the denial that trannies live in is borderline schizophrenic. it's actually a form of self-loathing.

if you hate midwits, you must be suicidal.

Saying that transgender or transsexual people don’t exist is like saying that Toyota owners or Mexicans aren’t real. See >>43379246
>>43380104
All matter is inherently mutable, retard.
>>
>>43385949
trannies don't exist, people who crossdress and call themselves trans exist, but they are not actually trans, because they never look more like the opposite of their birth sex, so the moniker is ill-suited
>>
>>43379112
I can literally alter my gene expression to express the female genes and mute the male ones, or vice versa.
>>43379168
Reproductive sex is immutable but reproductive sex is also irrelevant for people with non-functional/removed gonads. It's bizarre to obsess over it. Like do you think trannies think they can get pregnant?
>>43384971
>>43385971
>the only person you're fooling is yourself
Tonight I caught up with someone I met a year or so ago. I know for a fact I've outed myself to him. Anyway he was talking about how he didn't realize I was so involved in advocating for trans rights. I told him it was a matter of personal survival. He didn't understand.
Somehow he forgot I was trans.
That's not even the first time that's happened. Or that someone took it to mean I was FTM (and I guess REALLY not trying).
The most fucked up thing is that time I went to a urologist and they inspected my junk and charted me as FTM.
Cope, seethe, etc.
>>
>>43385971
Words gain their meanings from how they are used, retard. Your absurd claim that “trans people don’t exist” is predicated upon an assumption that “trans” means something different to what it actually means
>>
>>43385971
Trans people exist whether you like it or not. Trans people exist no matter how much you insist that they don’t.

>how can you be transgender if gender is a social construct and therefore not real?
Technically, you can't be. But, since gender is still effectively real to everyone in practice(it's made up bullshit but still important, like social class used to be), one still can transition from one to the other.

If we accept that gender isn't real, what else would you call changing one's gender(that's imaginary) than being transgender(that's also imaginary)?

It's like, if I play a video game and I transport goods on WoW, am I a transporter? What other name would you assign the thing?

>>43379871
>Girl stfu
No, no. OP has a point. Race is bullshit. Black people are only black because society decided. If you look at the genes, "black" as a race makes no sense. Literally the one of only things unifying them from a biological standpint is the mellanin gene. Same goes for whites or asians. They look different. That's all race really is usually.

There’s nothing in any of my replies that even remotely suggests that I might be an autogynephile. You are psychotic.

>how can you be transgender if gender is a social construct and therefore not real?

I mean personal inclinations and physical experiences are real. The time period I'm in and the enforcement of its norms are real. it doesn't mean the exact two adult gender categories we have are like an Eternal Truth, and that we must and should continue enforcing the norms in the exact same way forever.

>how can you be transsexual is sexuality is biological and therefore immutable?

I assume you mean "sex." the short answer would be that transsexual used to be the term for what I was (like my doctors called me that, my community called me that) and I still identify with it out of habit. I don't usually say it though, because it's picked up a lot of embarrassing baggage over the years.

The longer answer would be that physical sex has a lot of different...axes, factors involved other than just gametes or chromosomes or genitals, and 1) most of those are on a spectrum (ugh) and 2) many of them can be changed by physical transition.
