Gender is just a social construct.


Caitlyn Jenner was born as the wrong social construct. She courageously transitioned from one social construct to the other. She is stunning and brave.
Of course, only 2.

Well in the same way that anyone who has ever undergone an operation to solve a problem is stunning and brave, I guess so. I fail to see in what other way though.

I'll give it a read, certainly. :smile:


Its done. It is being reviewed for having the word 'su***de' in it. Once it's accepted,
you will get the tag...

just a warning ahead of reading it, it is very long.

I started this discussion in public and got mixed response, so what does TSR think?


There are only two gender even transgender people are one or the other

The terms are interchangeable I'd have thought. Same way the terms "gender reassignment surgery" and "sex change" are interchangeable.


Yet it's also society that says gender is a social construct and that your body doesn't define who you are...
SOMEONE SAID IT! There are three of course. Male, female and...

They do more.

That's what I had always thought, yet there are some who wish to morph the definition of gender to mean your feelings. This poll has demonstrated that society feels otherwise

Not society as a whole, only select factions, don't think that everyone has accepted the feminist movements ideology of these things, look at recent polling which shows to ththe contrary.

What makes it obvious?
Of course there are more than two genders. There's male, female, and there's attack helicopter.

I believe society as a whole still claims that gender is non differentiable from sex and rejects the neo liberalist definition of it.

Well what society claims and what is actually true are two very different things.

For many things that is true, but not for the definitions of words, a word only conveys a particular meaning because the majority of the society accepts and upholds it, look what happened to the word 'gay'.
There are two genders but people have tried to create more in order to feel special

Society =/= edgy teenagers on the internet, though.

You're confusing the idea of gender and sex. Caitlyn Jenner would have always had the female gender "social construct", hence why she decided to transition into a female body. She was assigned the wrong social constructs and she transitioned from one gender presentation to another in order to physically show her gender.
Yep. As someone once told me, "there are 2 genders and lots of psychological states" :u:
