If gender identity is a social construct, then by definition it doesn't hold the same objective reality like for example, physics and biology does. Gender identity doesn't exist in nature the same way mondays, traffic rules, and money don't exist in nature because those are concepts that only exist in human societies. Meanwhile you'll always see things like physics and biology in nature, the things that do exist in human societies and everywhere else in the universe.

Then by definition, gender identity is a product of culture, and cultures have their own beliefs and behavioral characteristics of how one should act, what one should choose to wear, etc. But then by that logic, cultures can have different definitions of what a woman is. One culture may define a woman as a person who wears skirts while another culture can define a woman as someone who wears leather jackets. Different cultures imply there is subjectivity on defining what a woman is, rather than a universally objective, scientifically evidence based definition of what a woman is.

But even if I adopted the idea of gender identity, I can theoretically create a culture of my own that says "a woman is an adult female with xx chromosomes" and the best part is that there is scientific evidence to support my culture. Therefore, if you reject my culture, then you're being disrespectful bigot by rejecting my cultural idea of what a woman is.

But the reality is that culture is subjective while biology is objective. Therefore, it's 100% objective, undeniable evidence that you're a retarded faggot tranny that will never be a woman. You're just a delusional, cross-dressing faggot should kill yourself right now.

a culture with only one person in it is actually just a delusion

Physics doesn't exist in nature. Physics are representations of nature that humans create, and it can be wrong. Human civilization existed before the disciplines of biology and physics.

The equations are social constructs but the reality of the actual physics exist. The word "woman" is a social construct but the actual woman still exists in nature. KYS tranny nigger.

The whole concept of woman is a social construct because conceptualisation is inherently a socially constructed phenomenon. You insist on a simplicity that does not exist because you are either unwilling or unable to actually think about these things and are scared that the easy to comprehend concepts you were taught do not reflect reality accurately. Showing people like you that they're wrong is like trying to describe colour to a blind person.

>the reality of the actual physics exist
newton had to spend his career arguing that his model of motion was better than aristotle's. whole generations of people lived and died and fought and fucked and invented analog computers and undersea mines who would have laughed in newton's face if he tried to tell them about gravity. sapere aude

I'm not going to continue arguing with a stupid tranny, die already you ugly cross dressing pedophile nigger faggot.

Money is a social construct i guess it has no value

>>44994314
I wouldn't call physics and biology (or other similar sciences) description of "objective realities," as we only perceive physics and biology (or other similar sciences) via our own senses or ability to observe. So, in an absolute sense, they cannot be called "objective realities."

The point is that the sex division itself is constructed, as French materialists (who are still TERFs!) like to say: “gender precedes sex,” or, “there is no sex except that which oppresses and that which is oppressed.” In other words, culture determines the way sex is divided (for materialists, the man/woman division is merely the reification of the public/private division of labour, or Wert-Abspaltungskritik, if you want to sound smart lol).

A culture is merely the consequence of a material structure; it is the superstructural architecture. You can't really create a culture without that culture being determined by the means of production. At most, your culture can be a counterculture, but in a world where the bourgeoisie is in charge, it is the bourgeoisie and its ideology that have cultural hegemony.

This is precisely why trans people are a countercultural force. Can we really say that a brick is a woman outside of our communities and cultural spheres? No, a brick is a transvestite in bourgeois and patriarchal culture; that's how she is recognized.

And no, hon, you can't identify outside structures of oppression.

But these structures of oppression are constructed and can be changed through culture wars, or even through the proletarian revolution and the abolition of gender as such.

Basically: are trans women women? Answer: Not within capitalist and patriarchal culture.

Are they women in themselves? Are they “real women”? Answer: No, because the “real woman” doesn't exist. It's a social construction.

Will there be trans women in the super-mega-utopian communist magical polycule puppygirl future? Answer: No, because gender will be abolished as a social category.

Should you consider trans women to be women? Answer: Yes, because otherwise it makes me sad :c

Humans are products of nature and exist within it; therefore human sociology is emergent behavior from nature.
But even then you're over-emphasizing the social nature and ignoring the physical nature of transition. If adopting female behaviors was enough to manage gender dysphoria people wouldn't be spending tens or hundreds of thousands on hormones and surgeries.
>retarded
It was kind of you to concede in the OP sneedanon.
>>44995419
In fact sex itself is to some extent socially constructed.
>but muh reproductive biology
Sure but in this society we usually wear crotch coverings so you can't even rely on primary sex characteristics, which don't necessarily align with someone's real or imaginary gametes (DSDs, surgery). You are "sexed" by a combination of social cues and (once they have developed) secondary characteristics, interpreted through the lens of what's typical for your culture/ethnicity.

marxists love to tout their diagnostic system on the level of states and ethnicities. but do you ever see marxists trying to account for the birth of asceticism? how well we are served by anti-priests who reject the very spirit that animates them
>>
Gender identity: how a person categorizes/themself is driven by brain structures being more male/female leaning in the somatosensory, hippocampal, and hypothalamic regions. Dysphoria is hypothetically caused by the brain's body map (somatosensory cortex) being developed for the opposite sex, and sending signals to parts that don't match. Intersex brain is real.
>>
Okay. Morality, love, money and honor don't have a physical basis either, and yet, we make them real ourselves and they do a decent job of working for us. Case closed.

>>44995513
real women exist BECAUSE it’s a social construction. there’s no pre-social reality and the proletarian revolution is not a liquidating rapture. put the marxists down and read marx pls
