My complaint is not directed at trans people, but the people who care much about gender identity, and trans people are more likely of this kind because it's a common reason for transitioning. Cis people can and will do the exact same stuff.
> I don’t see why considering masculinity and femininity to exist on a spectrum is weirder than thinking there’s a hard line
This stab goes into the wrong direction. I consider both fiction. What people do seems like role play to me. It is okay with people commit themselves to it, but they need to know the limits to it. Or ask for consent beforehand.
The pink/blue was not a reference to US politics, it was a reference to the gender binary as displayed on the transgender flag. People who classify every other thing as masculine or feminine are difficult.
And to me, i don't have a gender identity, just like every other newborn human, beyond what other people attribute to me. against my wishes. I reject the "marginalized minority" approach to it as i consider it patronizing, I'm a self-responsible adult.
- latexr 2y ago> My complaint is not directed at trans people, but the people who care much about gender identity That’s what I understood. > The pink/blue was not a reference to US politics, it was a reference to the gender binary Again, that’s what I took it as. Especially since I’m not American and neither was the non-binary person I mentioned. I didn’t take your comment as political. Unfortunately, I think the medium of asynchronous text comments may be working against us here. I feel it would’ve been beneficial to have this conversation in person. Your take seems nuanced and not outright dismissive so I think it would be worth exploring further and attempt a consensus. But it’s getting late and I still have stuff to do. Still, thank you for a civil conversation and indulging in my questions in good faith. Have a nice <insert your time of day> and week.
