I could understand somebody identifying with a gender they weren't assigned with at birth. I could even maybe understand somebody who identifies as neither gender. I'm still going to make fun of them for being fucking weirdos, but you know I get it on some level. It's not that absurd. Especially if you accept the idea that gender and sex are distinct. But someone identifying as an animal or whatever the fuck... like there's gotta be a line we draw somewhere... right? Because that's just retarded.
>>84746953Gender and sex being "distinct" is, and remains, a fringe, insane theory predicated on semantics. The word "gender" became popular because people in the past were coy about saying "sex".We are at the intersection of progressive liberalism where one side has to win out: either men and women are the exact same mentally, and thus equal, or they have different brains and are not equal. One of these conclusions has to be reached in order for transsexuals and the concept of "gender" separate from biology to exist.With all that being said, transsexuals are such a non-issue and have only been pushed to the front because the Epstein class of Jewish billionaires is obsessed with transhumanism and controlling nature. Epstein himself was obsessed with transsexuals and saw them as a way to create more rape toys for himself.
I'm not a psychologist, a psychiatrist, an orderly at a mental hospital. I don't have any reason at all to listen to someone's delusions. So I don't. You should try that. Not caring.
>>84747013I'm like 90% sure gender was a linguistic concept at first referring to different types of declensions found between nouns in Indo-European languages and only later got appropriated so sociological concepts of sex-based identity.
>>84747030>sociological concepts of sex-based identityThis.Gender is a social construct, nothing more.There's no reason why humans can't form a society that completely ignores gender. In a society like that, "gender identity" would be a meaningless concept, and the only thing that people would associate with themselves would be the "sexual function" of their body as either designed for giving birth or designed for squirting semen. Each person's "sexual function" would have no psychological or social impact on them -- similar to how a person's eye color has no psychological or social impact on them -- it's just a physical detail about their body that's ignored by society 99.9% of the time.
