True, I don't deny that. I'm referring to gender norms.

2019-02-25 18:38:37 UTC  

@AstralSentient gender roles follow the lead of nature. Men , masculine, women, feminine

2019-02-25 18:38:59 UTC  

Can a man give birth?

2019-02-25 18:45:05 UTC  

Any direct evidence for that?
Otherwise it is just assumption.

2019-02-25 19:05:13 UTC  

Men can give birth

2019-02-25 19:06:09 UTC  

Also being stronger and proving the constructed idea of masculinity are very different things

2019-02-25 20:11:48 UTC  

@Madeline <3 men can give birth? This stuff right here is the problem

2019-02-25 20:12:05 UTC  

You want to redefine the word man. I see no reason to follow suit

2019-02-25 20:38:28 UTC  

😂

2019-02-25 20:38:36 UTC  

Yeah that's kinda eh

2019-02-25 21:37:37 UTC  

How hard is it to Google the meaning of words? I guess it's easier to stay wrong and use the "fake" card 24/7 isn't it.

Sex: "either of the two main categories (male and female) into which humans and most other living things are divided on the basis of their reproductive functions."

Gender: "either of the two sexes (male and female), especially when considered with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones. The term is also used more broadly to denote a range of identities that do not correspond to established ideas of male and female."

2019-02-25 21:41:10 UTC  

There is no "redefining" the words when they're straight from the definitions.

2019-02-25 22:59:09 UTC  

What sourc urban dictionary?

2019-02-25 22:59:52 UTC  

Either way, the only useful definition is the one based on biology

2019-02-25 23:46:40 UTC  

It also isn't as simple as binary, there are intersex people out there where their exact biological sex is ambiguous. Regarding gender, there are multiple possible gender identities. Altho masculine and feminine is the dominant binary, and is applied to the sexes.

2019-02-25 23:58:10 UTC  

Google the definitions. I admire your ability to pick and choose which facts are correct and which facts aren't, based on your beliefs.

2019-02-25 23:59:53 UTC  

Sex is biological. Gender is social. Hence, trans*gender*. You can redefine English words or decide they don't exist if you want.

2019-02-26 00:06:22 UTC  

Transgender is not a gender

2019-02-26 00:08:51 UTC  

I don't think they meant that, just that the term refers to something malleable.

2019-02-26 00:09:04 UTC  

But also, there is Transsexual

2019-02-26 00:09:17 UTC  

Not a gender.

2019-02-26 00:09:41 UTC  

That's a sexual deviants preference

2019-02-26 00:10:52 UTC  

It being someone who changed their gender identity along with medical assistance to change some characteristics, a subset of transgender

2019-02-26 00:12:08 UTC  

Not a gender.

2019-02-26 00:12:24 UTC  

Gender is either Male or female.

2019-02-26 00:12:43 UTC  

This is not complicated

2019-02-26 00:12:43 UTC  

Nobody is arguing that transgender is a gender

2019-02-26 00:13:23 UTC  

Okay. That makes sense then.

2019-02-26 00:17:18 UTC  

Being transgender means that your identified gender is not the same as your assigned gender

2019-02-26 00:19:43 UTC  

That makes no sense

2019-02-26 00:20:18 UTC  

You cant just identify as something you are not

2019-02-26 00:20:34 UTC  

That would mean you have a disorder

2019-02-26 00:21:52 UTC  

Do you have real evidence for this or are these just your feelings?

2019-02-26 00:22:12 UTC  

Plenty of studies

2019-02-26 00:23:00 UTC  

Can I identify as a native American if I'm not?

2019-02-26 00:23:21 UTC  

Can I identify as a war veteran if I'm not?

2019-02-26 00:23:34 UTC  

The problem here is entirely a semantic one

2019-02-26 00:23:56 UTC  

The problem is people encouraging destructive behavior
