You keep saying "gender differences exist." No, gender is sociological. Sex differences exist (which is part of the issue). Comparing gender stuff with sexuality as if they're like for like is also deeply flawed.

Well, if you're only talking about things like 'blue for boys' and 'pink for girls' by 'gender', I agree, this is socially constructed. Usually, people include cognitive, psychological and behavioural differences tho.

I'm struggling to see what this has to do with gender dysphoria. Unless you're saying men with certain verbal ability, spatial ability and communication style are not really men. Which sounds very problematic to me.

And if you're not conflating "gender" with "sex", then you onus is on you to explain what gender is. You haven't done so. Unlsss you think our brains are hard wired for boys to be drawn to blue and girls to pink.

Gender is behaviour and expression amongst other things. There is credible science which explains the statistical differences between the sexes, BUT these are minute in comparison to the differences between individuals of each sex and not that important in most cases.

Ahd a lot of that is down to hormones. Hence why trans men experience a higher libido due to testerone. But again, that doesn't explain what Helen's saying.

What am I saying that you disagree with exactly?
