“nobody wants to confront the idea that we can _learn_ to want to be another gender.”
It’s impossible to have the idea that you want to be another “gender” unless you have learned to want it. The ideas of “gender” and that you can switch yours have to come from somewhere; you have to learn them. Just as: you can’t want to be a doctor unless you’ve learned that there is such a thing as a doctor and that it’s something you can be.
- pjc50 4y agoVery confident to assert that this act of imagination is impossible, that nobody in history has ever spontaneously had the idea of trying on another gender's gender-marker clothing and worked from there.
- leephillips 4y agoDid this somebody from history also spontaneously know that the clothes were markers of another gender?
