I process them as male!
I know in my og thread I said birth sex but actually it's more how they pass, which often but not always correlates with birth sex.

Everybody keeps talking about validity and idk wtf it means for something to be valid. They can feel however they want to feel, nobody's stopping them. Just, my understanding of the word gender means I process that photo above as male

I'm having a bit of trouble parsing your tweet so forgive me if I'm not fully understanding you - but if he looks male, that indicates a huge amount about his place in society and how he's treated by others, most closely around reproduction.
I'm continually clear what criteria for male the progressive framework uses - usually they say "feel male" but this makes no sense to me and I haven't found anyone yet who can answer my questions about what that means more deeply

Oh yeah the gender I think they are does not match the gender they think they are sometimes, that is true. For example if that person in the photo told me they were a woman, that wouldn't change the part of my brain that sees the photo and goes "man"
