Really? Can you provide a list of gender roles that only apply to women, and another list of gender roles that only applies to men?
Disclaimer: I am not transgender and I am not an expert and my views are changing as I learn more about transgender people. This may not be 100% accurate but it is how I see it as of now.
I am not talking about gender roles or anything that 100% only applies to one gender. I am talking about personality traits, preferences etc. In our society it is acceptable for most women to wear dresses or skirts, most men do not want to wear dresses. Makeup is the same way, most men don't want to wear makeup in the same way they most women do. It is about how men and women are different in their personalities etc.
Over 75% of elementary school teachers are women. Why? Because there is something about teaching little kids that women find satisfying more than most men. Same way with engineering, 80% of engineers in the US are men. I think there is something about this field that most men like and most women would rather so something else.
Add all these things up and if a person resonates mainly with the opposite gender then they may want to identify as that gender.
Money is real because everybody agrees on it’s value. Everybody does not agree on this redefined version of gender
Over 60% of Americans say they are more supportive of transgender rights than 5 years ago. Everyone is never going to agree but most people do agree that transgender people should not be discriminated against and that is rising every year.
So right and wrong means nothing to you, if you can get enough people to go along no matter how absurd, you’re good with it huh? I don't operate that way.
Me neither and I never said that morality does not exist. 20 years ago gay marriage was supported by 35% of the population, now it is over 60%. Society changes what we believe about social issues. Gender is one thing that is changing as well.
I still equate gender with biological Sex.
That is OK but I think you should think about how that belief affects transgender people.
Please list some of these social constructs of what a woman is supposed to be.
I did above. And its not about what we expect a woman to be like but what most women are like.
While we are at it, why don’t we pretend 1+1=3 because it makes someone feel better about themselves?
Because this would lead to catastrophe and people would get hurt. Treating transgender people with respect harm no one. You have never come up with how calling a person a particular pronoun harms you in any way.
Why don’t we pretend that reptile is a mammal because it makes someone feel better about themselves?
I don't see the need in this but at least no one would get hurt.
I’ll tell you why; because it’s wrong!
Why is it wrong?
