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.
Literally just used to sell us shit
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
But, there's those few instances
Mind you, few instances adds up to "millions of people"
Since we're discussing in terms of hundreds of millions to billions of people
Anecdotal evidence to support your argument doesn’t particularly help when there is evidenced, underlying preferences utilized by both sexes that ultimately contributed to our preconceived notions of what a man prefers versus that of a woman.
If you’re attempting to quote or derive from the philosophy of Virginia Prince, who utilized virtually no scientific citations, nor was even engaged in the sciences, in her novels on attempting to challenge those established notions, then, as stated before, ultimately perpetuating the same absurdity as that of a creationist.
