I think that's for those "non-gendered" or "double gendered" people who believe that they're two genders simultaneously, which is tumblretarded and smacks of attention seeking. I assume the trans students are just going to be the sex they identify as.

You do know that non-gender and double-gendered people are a real thing, right? (As in, they have been documented by medical science for ages)

better "xe/xem" than "they/them" tbh. plural pronouns as gender-neutral singular pronouns are stupid

Wait, I though gender was just stuff you do or are expected to do by society or whatever. How can you document that medically?

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

Body dysphoria is medically supported because it's been documented by medical imaging that the brain of transgender individuals often shows a structure that is similar to those found in the opposite sex. Dunno how that applies to bigender or whatever, though.

What about effeminate men who don't want to lop their dick off and don't gently caress guys (and the ones who do), might they also have a structure similar to the opposite sex? Seems like that proves very little.

Yeah, you can probably chalk it all up to different brands of the same mental illness but the point is there's a difference between a trans person who's been through all the psych and medical rigmarole for years and come out the other side still wanting to go through with it and some depressed fat poo poo on Tumblr in severe need of therapy who buys one loving lipstick and declares "ok I am a woman now" and who balks at the idea that their condition requires actual, qualified attention. The former are a tiny, tiny, tiny minority of the population; the latter are like 90% of Tumblr users and the ones who mostly won't shut up about "trans issues".

Theoretically, it seems the idea is that an actual tranny is a hosed up weirdo who has an actual, medical case of the girly-brains, whereas a tumblr tranny is a hosed-up weirdo who has a case of the sad-brains and thinks becoming a girl is an escape route. I do not support this interpretation, personally.

hmm idk none of my points personally have ever been about the amount they complain, i don't think that's a valid criteria. but on the other hand if 90% are complaining so vehemently and with such ill-will ("die cis scum") then maybe there's something confused and angsty about the whole phenomenon. or maybe not. trannies all over the world seem to make it work, but the ones who make it work seem to be more like gay men with implants. like how some guys get turned into bitches in prison or something. they are dudes playing the woman's role. but to insist that they are actually a woman, that seems to be a step too far, and i saw you say that before, and i agree with you there.

me either. what if the brain is a gradient from masculine attributes to feminine attributes depending on the person, and that it could even change over time, from more than just hormone injections, maybe even environmental and behavioral factors. that's my personal hypothesis. but i'm not a feminist or a trans activist and i don't care to tell them about it because their world views are all hosed up in various ways.

On one hand, gender is only a social construct, and conditioned. but on the other hand, there are people that are *just so sure* that they're the other gender opposite from what society has up to that point conditioned them to be. Which is it, do people have agency, or don't they? modern SJW thought is all one big disjointed and incoherent mess when it comes down to it. no wonder it fractures into ever smaller and smaller pieces, fighting with each other and the outside shitlords on the way down. it's a race to the bottom. There's no possibility of unification, the people doing this kind of thing don't even know what that would be or why it is important. it's degenerate intellectual cannibalization.

Edit - What I mean is if gender is entirely conditioned, how is it possible, or desirable for a person to feel that they are the opposite conditioned gender from the conditioned gender that they currently are? Is conditioning automatically undesirable? Shouldn't they jump on someone who wants to be another conditioned gender? And that way of posing things makes the assumption that there is a thing that is you apart from your conditioning. What if you are nothing but your conditioning. And what if you have a part to play in your conditioning. It's all wrong, the way they approach things. "Society can't tell us who to be". Well, you are part of society. You are society, even. That's what conditioning is, the society within you. Either make a new model of society, or play along. And the problem is again, gender roles develop organically, you can't write some blog post and expect your creations to reflect something real about human nature. That would be play acting, cultish behavior.

That's why the entire feminist ideology backs themself into all these corners, and then when confronted on this, says "well different people believe different things and feminism represents all of them". Well in what way does it represent all of them, if there is no single unifying idea? If the single unifying idea is "woman first", then you've effectively said nothing, because you haven't answered the questions "why" and "how". "Woman first" is just a shapeless sentiment, not a philosophical proposition. And it's a reaction to "man first", if that was ever the case. I see feminism as a symptom of the degeneracy of society into philosophical incoherence, and nothing more. It's not the problem, or the solution, it's the symptom, maybe a necessary symptom to see and acknowledge. Or even definitely. However, something more is needed.

no one informed argues that gender is "just" a social construct. it is a part of biology that has serious social implications, which is why I maintain that people claiming to be "third" or "non-binary" gender are full of poo poo.
