I’m not motivated by politicians (I hardly ever listen to them or endorse them).
I’m motivated by the suffering I see in our society experienced by gender nonconforming individuals who feel uncomfortable in a world that believes in the gender binary.
It’s interesting that you mention treatment. I’m not sure if you know any gender nonconforming people, but “just go with the treatment and be done with it” doesn’t really reflect accurately the experience I’ve seen other people have. Hormones and surgery can treat the symptoms of dysphoria but the cause seems to be society and the expectation that all people fit in to a binary. (Please ask if you’d like me to elaborate on that.) So here I am proscribing a treatment for society: stop gendering things unnecessarily and stop supporting a hard gender binary.
- airstrike 8y agoThere are less gender nonconforming individuals than amputees. Let's tackle the big ticket items first.
- rabidrat 8y ago51% of the population are women, who suffer from these gender roles. That's a super big-ticket group right there.
- airstrike 8y agoThat's an entirely different issue from what we're discussing
- nisuni 8y agoAs a woman, I can tell I don’t suffer at all from gender roles. I am completely fine with gendered personal assistants, which was the original topic being discussed. And I don’t buy all this political crap regarding gender. Stop using all women to support your political agenda. Stop speaking for the 51%. Not all of us support you, don’t speak for all of us.

- wsgeorge 8y agoBelieve it or not, the other 49% also suffer from these "gender roles".
