      Essentialism is the whole thing we are trying to oppose, yes There is no fixed definition of what makes you "you" - either it's all of it or it's none of it

      You’ve ‘gone on the record’ to say you could be you even if you had another body. You are claiming there is a ‘you’ that us entirely independent of your biological substrate. How is this not essentialism?

      It's social constructionism My identity exists as a result of how I interact with and am perceived by others It's the only reason I'd still be "me" if I got conked on the head and woke up with amnesia

      This is completely the opposite argument you made earlier. You said you could still be you in another body; now you are arguing that you would still be you if you lost your memory but retained the same body. Nobody has denied that.

      I'm saying both are equally valid or invalid There is no essential self

      I’ve never said there’s an ‘essential self’. I’ve made it perfectly clear I do not believe in a ‘self’ prior to, or independent of, your body. That is the belief of those who wish to alter their body surgically and hormonally to bring it into line with their ‘true self’.

      The self isn't in the body either, it doesn't exist period

      Or, rather, it's a socially constructed concept, it exists only because we believe it exists and interact with each other on that basis From an "objective" perspective a living and dead body have exactly the same atoms, etc

      Now you are just ripping off Watchmen. I’ve already stated one of my reasons for rejecting ‘innate gender identity’ is that I reject innate identity; that your sense of self is constructed through interaction with others. But you interact with others via your body.

      You are embodied. Your body places limitations on what you can be, and your interactions with others are mediated through that body, and through the meanings imposed upon that body by society. This is a fundamental principle of the GC feminism you *reject*.

      Well, rolling over and deciding that if society has already picked a meaning to impose you can't argue isn't very feminist at all
