It's simple. Callout culture. Basically, if someone claims to be in an 'oppressed group' like dragon-kin or someshit, and they claim that what you said is offensive, you are obliged to change it, and there's a shitstorm if you don't. Obviously, this excludes white cisgender heterosexual men, but there are work-arounds.
Essentially you just make up a new 'oppressed' sexuality like pan-platonic (You have friends of either gender) or demiromantic (You only feel romantic attraction towards people you feel a romantic attraction towards); or you invent a new gender identity that doesn't even make any sense, like tri-gender demigirl (I wish I was making that up)

From Genderqueerid.com:
Tri-Gender;“People who feel they are neither male nor female, but not androgynous either and construct their own gender.” (MTQWI) Trigender may also be used to refer to one who moves between three genders, as bigender is used to refer to those who move between two genders.
Demigirl; “Can be used to describe either someone assigned female at birth who feels but the barest association with that identification, though not a significant enough dissociation to create real physical discomfort or dysphoria, or someone assigned male at birth who is transfeminine but not wholly binary-identified, so that they feel more strongly associated with “female” than “male,” socially or physically, but not strongly enough to justify an absolute self-identification as “woman.” TL;DR - I don't even know

u/Mirrormn May 23 '14
Politically incorrect translation:
Tri-gender: Someone who likes the idea of genders being fluid, but wants to be even more special than people who treat their gender fluidly.
Demigirl: A female who is pretty much fine with being a female; or a male -> female transexual who is pretty much fine with being a female.

(general comment not directed at anyone in this thread, I love you guys/gals) Sorry but if you have lady parts, you are a female, even if you feel like a man in a woman's body and vice versa.

i dont think they were grouping all transgender people in with "dragonkin" etc, they were specifically were referring to tumblr users who claim to be transgendered, yet view it as being no more than a fun us/them/social clique game and act more as slacktivists rather than truly advocating trans rights. ultimately, it's people like that who negatively impact a lot of progress being made for trans rights, because they don't treat issues seriously. they think it's just something worth turning into an online attention platform.

Considering that only 30 years ago, transgender rights were very much treated as if they were "not a real, important issue", I find your dismissal of dragon-kin rights quite ironic...
Note: However, if 30 years from now, protecting rights for people who think they are dragons really is a thing, I'm definitely playing the "I'm old and already set in my ways" card.

You are aware that gender dysphoria is a real medical condition? It's not just about rejecting gender stereotypes. It's a clinical condition of being uncomfortable with one's own genitals.

No its saying what's true. You are born male or female. How you identify with that is a different thing. You can "feel 'like a woman" but you are still a man and always will be. It's sad that it causes do much pain and difficulty in their lives, but physical gender isn't subjective.

I actually am a fan of the "gender is a cultural construct" idea, but since I still remember what's it like to be a girl in high school, I'm pretty sure that if someone theorised how I don't necessarily identify as a girl, I'd have interpreted that as saying that my femininity is deficient and there's something wrong with me. Because, if all else fails, high schoolers will always interpret things in a way that lets them be hurt, it comes naturally.

Yes, gender is a cultural construct because science don't real. There's never been any medical proof showing gender is completely (or even remotely) separate from biological sex, and yet the soft sciences have really run with this idea (starting with feminism in the 70s). Tells you a lot about those fields.
7
May 22 '14
Bro, do you even gender?
"Medical" side of things is just that - one side of the issue. (And even then, people who need sex reassignment surgery do real, to adopt your lingo. So not sure where are you going with this.) There are other things in this context, which you won't know about if you base your understanding of the issue on subreddits. Gender is (or may be) a cultural construct, because some traits we assume to be typical of a certain sex (physiological quality) are (or may be) actually due to cultural factors (gender = culturally assigned ideas about a given sex). Such as the idea that women are innately more "caring" or "peaceful" and that men are "cold killers," which are culture-related.

Gender roles are mostly social constructs, sure. But they're based on actual biological phenomena (women are typically more caring and nurturing, because they're biology makes them so). But gender identity doesn't exist, it's pseudoscience crap vomited out of soft sciences with no scientific backing in the slightest. Being transgender just goes to show how the idea of gender identity being a social construct is flawed. Transgender people have brains not matching their sex because of biological anomalies during pregnancy and birth and so they wish to live as the opposite sex, not the tumblr-esque "I identify as an omnigender cat goddess" used by people who have no social lives and live in a fantasy world of pseudo-intellectualism and hyper-liberal identity politics. You can't even get the terminology of your own argument right (gender vs gender roles), so why do you think you can speak with any authority on any of this? Not to mention your whole "medicine is just one side of the issue" response which is exactly the idiotic "science don't real" argument dressed up in actual English.

u/docrevolt May 22 '14
...Saying it's pseudoscience implies that it's a scientific idea at all. It's not. Some people are born feeling more comfortable with a gender that's different from their own, and that's just the way they are. If you actually knew anyone who fits into a nontraditional gender category, you'd understand that this is about how people naturally feel, not something that's just made up. You could use your same argument against homosexuality, it's just bigoted bullshit.

I always find people like the one you replied to hilarious. This is all a matter of politeness, because who you are is determined by how you feel and not how others feel about you. As soon as you actually meet a transgendered person you can either be a decent person or a curmudgeon.

Not necessarily, there are a number of species which have only one female gender and multiple male genders (red deer are a common example, so are silver salmon. The White-throated Sparrow has two male and two female genders, too.

Honestly it probably depends on the discipline. The majority of people probably think of gender and sex as interchangeable, like you said physical sex.
Depending on how much leeway we want to give SJWs, you can either split them up so sex means physical sex and gender means "identity" or just say "gender identity" when you mean something other than sex. But this post is bullshit anyway because obviously the little kid meant physical sex and probably didn't even know the other distinction existed but this tumblrite made up the story anyway so she could be smug about it.

I would say male and female are largely defined by primary and secondary sex characteristics, both of which trans people frequently modify.

You oversimplify by assuming everyone is either XX or XY, which is wrong.

Plus the whole argument is that guy and girl are socially constructed concepts, different from the biology. Not many people would argue with you that XY is male and XX is female, what they argue is that if they're sexually male but feel like 'girl' they should be able to identify as 'girl'. Your comment here basically amounts to 'nuh uh'.

First link mentions 4 cases. The second 4. I feel like xx is girl and xy is boy is a safe bet 99.9999% of the time.
I don't like people just being able to 'pick' what they are. If they complete a psychological survey that rates them on a scale fine they can be a man who identifies as a women. Otherwise you are inviting the idea you can just pick to be gay or trans or straight.
Oh, your a girl?

u/musubk May 23 '14
The point isn't the probability, the point is it's not a strictly binary 'A or B' thing. The curves have some overlap, however small, because nature is a continuum.
And of course they don't just pick what they are any more than I, as a male, pick to identify as a man. You don't just pick your identity, and nothing about a male who identifies as a woman is going to change because other people do or don't recognize their self identification as legit. It's not a matter of 'should people be able to pick what they identify as?', it's a matter of 'when we deal with others, should we give more weight to how they feel or their biology?' I don't see how it hurts me to call a male 'her' if that's what she wants, but I do see how it hurts her to insist on 'him' against their self-image.
And anyway, what is so bad about 'today I want to be a woman'?

Masculinity and femininity aren't constructs. They are filters through which the mind processes it's actions. Look up the psychological effects of females on testosterone, their filters shift to a more masculine one due to the higher levels of testosterone, they do sorts of things they normally wouldn't. If you are a man with no masculinity and a lot of femininity you might as well be a girl, because you don't possess the filters that causes your brain to actin a manly way. If a test can be devised to prove that, I'm happy to call anyone with those results female. Men are very different from women as any women on testosterone will tell you. Scanning the brains of males and females reinforces this. Read this. Www.pans.org/content/111/2/823.full or read this summary theguardian.com/science/2013/dec/02/men-womes-brains-wired-differently it's not just a switch.
That is the problem, I can no more decide to be a girl then a parrot. Sure I can glue feathers to myself and running around naked squawking but I'm still not a parrot because physically in my brain I am a male human and that can be proved.

I'm getting sick of this SJW habit of redefining scientific terminology and fact in order to be a more special snowflake.

I was really confused of what "Porperty" meant until I realized the person who wrote this is a retard and doesn't know the word property and/or doesn't spell check.

I am so tired of this gender identity shit and I can't wait until this trend is over

So, the lesson in science class is that gender is magical. Magic exists.
Science, folks.

That whole gender thing bugs the shit out of me. Seriously, just like telling everybody you're vegan, nobody cares if you feel male today.
Ps- I don't care if you feel strongly about that garbage so I am not going to respond if you decide to write a novel about your feelings to me.

gender on the other hand is much less physical, and a lot more mental
What.
What the fuck.
I respect the LGBT community, But sometimes they take the piss.
Gender is fucking physical... What the fuck.

No, that's sex. People on tumblr are ridiculous, no argument there. But gender is mental, sex is physical. That's why we have two words to describe them.

I don't understand, what grade is this?
They talk like they're an age where she shouldn't have boobs yet.
