... of people who still obstinately see gender identity as something to debate and criticize rather than recognize and accept.
Would you say the same thing for national and racial identity? Which identities are allowed to pride yourself in?
I hope you see the point behind that.
- uffle 2y agoThat's a good point. A male identifying himself as a woman makes about as much sense as a Polish identifying as a Korean.
- blueflow 2y agoLets not have this degenerate into transphobia. My critique is directed towards gender identity in general and equally applies to cis people.
- uffle 2y agoMy critique was too. Makes no sense to identify with a category you don't actually belong to.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoThis topic makes me think about identity and who gets to change the definition of it and who doesn't. I think it is fascinating how the battleground has shifted over time from conflict over objective interaction in the real world to etymology and the internal classification systems people use to model the world.
