View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?

View parent comment

You seem to have gotten distracted by the language point. We agree that gender is arbitrary. I didn't ask why Iran still cares. I asked why you still care. If its arbitrary, where is this so called problem? How can there be any "logic" to it in the first place - can you spell it out for me in a formal manner? If it truly doesn't matter then why is it living rent free in your head?

Yes I will spell it out for you, though your snarky “rent free” comment makes it seem like you’re the typical 16-20 year old immature redditor not really interested in a real conversation, I’ll still spell it out for you.

The notion of gender is incoherent and illogical.

The notion of gender makes people feel alienated, as they fail to associate to one (or more) gender(s).

The logical solution is to reject the concept of gender, because it is the culprit behind people feeling alienated.

Using that very same concept of gender to “solve” the problem that gender is posing is incoherent and irrational.

Lastly note the context, where I was replying to someone saying basically “internal sense of gender” is some magical thing that you “just know”, that is a load of bullshit and self gaslighting, the error is to think that how you feel about who you are has to, in any way, have anything to do with a completely made up concept of gender.

As to “if it doesn’t matter why is it rent free in your head”, that is a weak and pathetic argument, this is reddit where people have exchanges, if I were to assume everything you made comments on lived rent free in your head you’d look like even more of an ignorant moron than you already do
