View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
Hmm, I'm still not understanding what makes anyone feel like a woman internally. It sounds like for you, you relate gender to the balance of hormones that you prefer to have/take, but not every trans person is on hormones.
Do you think females and males have different types of souls? I am a biological woman but I think my soul could be any gender in different lifetimes. I have dressed up like a man numerous times and put a sock in my pants and went out for the night. it felt amazing, I felt hott as fuck. I didn't feel some internal feminine voice telling me it felt wrong. The only way I would feel like it felt wrong was if I was trying to get the attention of a straight man that night, being that I also looked like a straight man haha.
So, for myself, I see my physical gender appearance being more of a "for mating purposes" thing , or "this makes sense for society and gets me the best returns". And I enjoy the hobby of beauty / femme stuff. But I would probably be much happier if I never had to think about it, honestly. And if we weren't judged so harshly for not being beautiful.
Most of being "feminine" is performative anyways, it feels like playing dress up (and i'm saying this as a biological woman). Anyone can have fun channeling that energy. Why can't males also play the same kind of dress up, take estrogen, look feminine. Why does that make them a "woman" though?
I understand someone more femme presenting preferring the pronoun "she" be used socially, but I don't understand the importance of having the hard label "woman" in a more solid scientific context .
But I love ya'll regardless. This is just my thoughts on gender as a whole.
I've fought my whole life to be heard and respected by men and seen as an equal, as the same. so I struggle to understand this sometimes. I even think a lot of my biological female friends repress so many aspects of their personalities
There's nothing here!
