People express themselves in different ways

People have different notions of "self"

That doesn’t make them not male or female

You cannot escape your true self, no matter how much you pretend to be someone else.

You cannot change your sex through any mechanics. End of story,

In terms of sex, sure

But we're not talking about sex, Mongol

Neither in gender.

"Gender" refers to identity, to self-identification, to expression, to perception

Gender is a product of capitalism to sell us shit and fight communism

Gender was made by bathroom companies to sell more bathrooms

Somewhat based

I need to sleep. Goodnight.

Gender existed before capitalism but okay

Also, let's not even get started on how the sexual spectrum exists

BECAUSE IT DOESN’T EXIST HAHA

(It does)

As countless studies have proven

Everyone's a tidbit bi

Some moreso than others

Not really, that’s just a bunch of flamboyant personalities or “quirks” claiming to be unique by attempting to subscribe to some niche psychology that has neither received scientific verification nor recognition.

@Light dont care

Literally just used to sell us shit

Enkrum, gender is defined by society

Inherently, sure, it's just personality, it's just self-expression in some manner

But as society has determined the gender of certain clothes, activites, etc.

It's thus part of gender expression

- which largely, if not entirely, derives from and correlated to biological sex.

That’s about on par with neglecting the genetic aspect composing a 60% influence in socioeconomic factors.

Do you consider someone wearing lipstick, a dress, with a lovely manicure done, going shopping as masculine as someone with... I don't know, a battleaxe aloft over their head, wearing nothing but the furs of animals they've personally hunted and wrestled, @Deleted User ?

(The answer is no)

You're recognizing gender expression in that moment

You're recognizing gender

Generally, expression and identity correlate, unless an individual is suppressing themselves, in which case, there might be a departure

But, in a Hagelian way, we seek to make others view us as we view ourselves

"gender" is just a term to solidify "gender expression" and "gender identity", it makes no comments on sex

We've got other terms to do that

Arising from latin, of course

trans-*, and cis-*

like 99% of people (or thereabouts, I don't know the number), are cis
