Current progressive gender theory seems really inadequate, but it's popular because it's serving an important function - it's giving name and validation to actual experiences people are having. Does anyone have suggestions for a different theory that serves this function better?

i’m skeptical that people would arrive at something like the modern progressive idea of gender if gender as a concept didn’t already exist.

Acid Shill is calling for a total and complete shutdown of gender until our country’s philosophers can figure out what is going on.

Why bother to use the word gender? What does it do to enhance meaning that sex doesn't?

sex typically refers to biology. it is very clearly a real thing (even if you can’t draw perfect lines) with predictive power. gender typically refers to people’s identity/lived experiences (in the progressive framework)

All of that is encompassed by male and female. Sex. We identify as our sex. We have sex roles and dimorphic parts of experience and quality of experience. If there is no difference you could say so, but none was presented.

the chief counterexample is trans and nonbinary people who have a gender/identity/lived experience which doesn’t ‘match up’ with their sex

sorry, my original reply was supposed to be a three-tweet thread, but I apparently had a stroke and copy-pasted the same thing thrice, so it makes much less sense. i will try to get my thoughts together and write a thread tomorrowhttps://twitter.com/acidshill/status/1254662043975577600?s=21 …
