It is about the person who is identifying themselves

also just because it was a small part of society doesn't mean it was generally accepted by general society

Exactly

I know that

Can you site your sources rq?

I'll do the same

GG @nathaniel, you just advanced to level 3!

I wrote an article on this a few months back. Hopefully your sources can give me more insight :)

Just because some people are different doesn't mean that they are another gender. everybody's bodies are different. I totally agree with that. But to say gender roles or behaviour of someone of a certain sex is totally socially constructed is very wrong.

Much of it is expressions of biological realities.

Never said you were wrong about the dysphoria part

Gender not sex

Separate ideas

Sex is biological

Science

Gender is sociocultural

Not saying you're wrong

Just saying we have different outlooks on a topic with no true right answer

sex and gender are the same thing tho

The human brain and body are among the most complex structures of the known universe

To a certain extent. Sex is more chromosome and genetically based. Gender can vary across cultures

on the doctor birth certificate it says the sex of the baby, male or female

But it really depends

Yes the sex you're right

But chromosomes are raerly checked

You could be XXY and never know

search up the definition of gender on google

It is an international foundation. It's fine to be skeptical. I don't trust the government lmao

I check more sources than just Oxford dictionary

But I still will :)

search up gender and then search up sexes

"especially when considered with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones"

Google like you said

yeah

"refers to the biological differences between males and females, such as the genitalia and genetic differences. “Gender” is more difficult to define, but it can refer to the role of a male or female in society, known as a gender role, or an individual's concept of themselves, or gender identity."

Thats what I said-

there's more definitions to it, that's just one of them

Exactly-

ok
