I'm LGBT. This, supposedly, is a website for that section of the population.
Yes - but that poses a problem for you, not a solution. Because people in every day society *do* conflate sex with gender, all the time.
You are diluting your own argument without acknowledging it. You might have been seen as being 'not a boy'. That does not mean you were seen as, or treated as, 'a girl', any more than any 'camp' young boy would be 'violently punished' for gender transgression.
You've completely missed the implication of your own sentence. Social concepts are defined 'in the interactions between individuals and society'. Being a woman is not simply 'how I feel'. It's how people treat me. It is a role that I play in society and where I fit in the structure of that society, including all the…
You say I'm wrong about what gender is, and then utterly fail to contradict me. I could just copy-past my entire last response and it is all left standing by your response.
No child is male or female presenting intentionally. I wouldn't have known the difference between dresses and trousers unless I was told. That doesn't make children 'genderfluid', for example, until they figure it out. It's not my conceptualisation, I'm telling you that is what gender is, definitionally. If a…
This is tricky, because once somebody has committed a criminal offence, that's inherently a matter of public concern. But, equally, we have laws in the UK that mean that after a certain period of time after a criminal offence has been committed and you have completed your sentence, you're not required to disclose it…
Are they 'personal constructs' or 'social constructs'? The latter. That does not exclude personal identification, but equally it is not ruled by it. If you were male presenting, you were a boy as much as any other male presenting child that never identified any differently.
I would never call a transwoman a 'man', or a transman a 'woman'. But the idea that someone who transitioned later in life and later identified as a 'woman' was therefore born a girl just seems wrong to me. You've said it yourself - gender is a 'social construct'. It's not a subjective opinion. Like grammar, even if…
I'm not convinced 'people' are pissed. This is the first I've heard of it. A few isolated incidents on Twitter maybe.
That's neither what she meant, nor what it sounded like.
Bieber is an unprofitable dud? You must be talking to us from 10 years in the future because he is one of the biggest stars in the world right now.
It is different. You'd have to be a total fucking moron not to understand that.
Seriously? How does that make her unsympathetic? I think a lot of people would agree with her.
Robertsons Golden Shred. That marmalade tho.
Well no, not really. Because inequality with e.g. family law does not actually exist.
Jesus Christ America. Get with the times. Seriously.
It was for a movie role.
You are a genuinely unintelligent human being. That's evocative of some sympathy, I'll admit.
