Basically, it's a set of socially prescribed behaviours and expectations based on sex. Men wear trousers and are strong, women wear dresses and are graceful. That sort of thing. There's a few different concepts mixed up in the idea of gender, but it's effectively the social aspects associated with sex.
- leephillips 4y agoNo that defines gender role. That’s clear. That is not the gender-as-inherent-property that make it possible to say that one is born in the wrong body.
- kemayo 4y agoActually, question to reevaluate: from that answer you’re okay with the existence of gender roles as distinct things from physical sex, right? Do you have any opposition to someone presenting as a gender role that doesn’t align with their physical characteristics? To altering their physical characteristics in ways they want to pursue? If so, is your original “(1)” point entirely objecting to people saying “I feel I was born in the wrong body”? I, and I think others, were certainly reading it as “trans people aren’t a real thing”, with the implied policy implications that carries with it…
- leephillips 4y agoThe only things I’ve objected to today are circular definitions.
- kemayo 4y agoIf you’re okay with everything I asked about, does whether gender is inherent matter?
