To clarify: Trans people make sense to me in this context. They work inside caricatures - trans women will grow out their hair and wear makeup, and trans men cut their hair and wear suits. It seems clear the type of gender they're doing, and I get that.

I feel like I'm way more sympathetic to transness tho. Trans people have measurably different brains, and they generally put in a lot of effort to transition. I'm down with that. I think I meant genderfluidity that isn't trans.

there is SO MUCH to unpack here. this reads like you've been exposed to tons and tons of material regarding gender dysphoria, but have a stubborn contrarian reaction every time. like I really truly doubt you posted this with the expectation of having your mind changed

Honestly, there are a lot of males who haven’t earned the right to be “men”, though that is orthogonal to your point. We could solve this problem forever by calling people “small gamete” and “large gamete” — there is no way to equivocate on this that will pass a laugh test

How does one earn the "right" to be a man? Can't wait to hear the great takes this question will elicit. *sounds of popcorn popping, microwave beeps*

Gender is for nouns (and verbs and adjectives in other languages). Human beings are just men or women or hermaphrodites.

Psychology, and to a certain extent, biology, have discovered that gender is more akin to a spectrum. Sociology and linguistics are trying to keep up. As Mark Renton says it:"1,000 years from now there will be no guys and no girls, just wankers. Sounds great to me."

Plato was wrong and Aristotle was right. The judgment of "being a man" is not made through comparison to a particular ideal.
