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

View parent comment

I can describe how I experience gender - an inherent sense of the kind of body parts and hormones that feel right to me. Not a cultural belief. Not everyone experiences it this way but I do, I would still be what I am with or without society. I'm saying this as someone who's had a sex change btw this is not me saying that your assigned sex is the one that determines your gender. I'm saying that gender is a real thingand trans people are absolutely a real thing.

Sure, but you haven't actually answered the questions I have. And physical things and hormones are your sex, not your gender.

Can you define what makes any gender?

For instance, what does male mean when you remove any relation to physical sex?

You're dancing around the question, like everyone I ask. It's a direct question, not "tell me how you feel about yourself", or "define the concept of gender".

Just tell me what makes something male, or what makes something female, etc.

Apologies if this sounds rude - it's just that people end up dancing around this question a lot, and a few have acknowledged that they don't know how to answer it. I have yet to have anyone define "female" without relating things that are based around stereotypes (such as ways or thinking or enjoying certain things) or resorting to reference to physical attributes.

Dude no one can feel their hormones actively working on a cellular level to which you describe.  I don't suddenly feel my testosterone activating . What you're feeling is in your head.
