It's contextual based on where you are and who your around. That's how social constructs work. 'passing' as another gender is just learning and performing that

It's contextual based on where you are and who your around. That's how social constructs work.
'passing' as another gender is just learning and performing that role.
Your definition of a gender is just the stereotypes you've amassed over time based in interactions with people who share similar traits (physical or otherwise)
Surgey isn't a hard requirement. Especially if you were lucky enough to get on blockers before the wrong puberty hit.
- fillippo 4y agoThere's not really any such thing as the "wrong puberty" though, it's just puberty.
- l3uwin 4y agoYour endocrine system can fuck up in a lot of ways related to amount, type, timing, etc of hormone production and not only testosterone and estrogen. There are definitely wrong puberties
- Vt71fcAqt7 4y ago>'passing' as another gender is just learning and performing that role. What role would that be in an egalitarian society? And if it's different in every society, how can you be 'born' as a woman, which is a social construct?
- Vt71fcAqt7 4y ago@l3uwin your comment is [dead] so I can't respond (I didn't flag you) but when I said "how can you be 'born' as a woman, which is a social construct?" I was refering to people who claim to be born as the opposite gender, such as a male saying they were really born as a woman. If gender is a social construct, this claim makes no sense.
- l3uwin 4y agoIdeally, none. And woman is an arbitrary term, when talking about biological sex use female/male/intersex etc... Gender != sex
