frankly if you're happy to break a romantic relationship based on genitals you shouldn't be dating anyone

It certainly isn't universally true that trans women are women & trans men are men. Its true according to one understanding of gender.
-
One I share more for ethical reasons than because this is evidenced & accompanied by a coherent explanation.
-
Feminists who think gender is cultural construct won't agree. Nor will Muslims who think it correlates exactly with sex & is God-bestowed.
-
oh, it is a social construct, but so is money or a job, it doesnt exist objectively but it does inside our society
-
Again, it depends what you mean by gender? Blue for boys, pink for girls? Then yes. Psychological & cognitive differences? No.
-
are you confusing gender with biological sex?
-
I am asking if you are. Some people use gender for the former & some for the latter. Claim different interests are culturally constructed.
-
no, gender and sex are different, scientifically they are defined as different

like if a woman has so many different meanings to people we shouldn't expect people to be the image of it u know
-
It doesn't really. Historically, geographically & by majority, it means 'person with a female physiology.'
-
Trans people complicate this & suffer as a minority. I think the solution is not trying to change language but promoting liberal ethics.
-
but sex and gender ARE complicated. we shouldnt pretend to say theyre clear cut when we know theyre not
-
They're not. There is an overwhelming correlation between sex & gender. Better to support the outliers than try to blur the whole issue.
-
correlation =/= causation and it does bc people who didn't were killed for it and people nowadays face discrimination for it
-
Interesting theory. Seems unlikely it would be pan-cultural if so.
-
well hinduism has actually had 3 genders for a long time now
