The point I was making is that there are no books back then that use the word gender to be anything other than a biological male or female.
the problem is that "back then" the genetic components (xx,xy) were not even known. Gender and sex decoupled when sociology and psychology studies group and individual relations. Back then, psychology and sociology didn't exist yet and mental health was still seen as a primarily spiritual matter.
Again, this is reference to the other persons statements that the current meaning of gender was defined and understood even back then. Im citing known science books as old as possible in return, i need to see the term being used the way the left has defined before this decade.
You keep saying " The left" but as I mentioned the only ideologies that have a problem with the concept of gender tend to be traditionalist right ideals. Libertarian right ideals seem to not insist on strict gender definitions. As far as books and studies, I can find some papers and studies for you after I return from my vacation. I know there has been research that stretches back to the 60s on this topic.
Ok. When a baby is born, will the hospital document on the birth certificate whether the baby is male or female? How do they do that? Seriously, what is the point of doing that anyway now?
Usually it's based on genitals, personally I think it's just a tradition that has stuck around and it's not a necessary documentation, but it's just there so we as a nation continue it for census reasons.
Sure. Im not denying that, today, gender has been redefined to be a social construct - who the person is inside his/her head. My arguments are saying that social constructs are or just believing you are internally/psychologically aren’t facts.
It comes off to me that you dont really understand what social constructs are and how they function. I'm not sure what you mean by facts, because you are taking how a person presents and identifies based on societal constructs of gender. Genetic prescriptions such as XX, and XY primarily function to tell the body to develop, but dont dictate the social norms. Such as clothing, make up, demeanor, toys, jobs, etc. Those are constructs reinforced by society and the performance of these expectations seem to be the heart of Feminism, trans ideology, and Non binary people.
What about people who identify as a different age. Such as a 23 year old, why cant he/she identify as a 50 yr old. That person can be just as mature and probably even at the same health.. is it because of biological reasons here?
The difference here is that you are talking about a measurement of time (age) vs a societal constructions on what makes a person a man/women.
You are the one who hasnt read much. First of all, this segment on color is incomplete because its followed up in another response in where i am asking for the reasoning behind the change of blue and pink being identified for boys and girls.
I read the entire message, I didn't quote the entire grouping because I dont see the point in arguing tangents when I find your foundation to be in error.
I used to work as a concept artist for Lego back in 2014. You also didn't understand my argument. It takes more work and conceptualism to design toys for girls than for boys. Because based on the norm, boys just end up having their toys go on a battle. With girls on the other hand there imagination is much more deeper because their is an actual story behind it.
No, I fully understood your argument. You are arguing about the norm, norms are reinforced by cultural/societal constructs. Since you have worked for LEGO, you are probably also aware that for the majority of LEGO's history there was no specific gender targeting. However in the late 70s and early 80s restrictions on how toys could be marketed were relaxed. Based societal expectations of men and women toy companies and TV reinforced several aspects of culture through marketing. A lot of female franchises were created by accident because there was such a misunderstanding on how to market towards women. I'll read the article in a little bit. Thank you for sharing. I did skim them however, what I find interesting is that the article mentioned that the toys were played with based on expectations of gender roles. Does this not also validate the testimonies of trans people that claimed to identify with traditional masculine and femenine roles and how they knew they were different?
You are free to join in on responding to the video link of Joe Rogan, Sam Haris, Majeem on this.
I'm a fan of the Joe Rogan Podcast, and I used to watch videos by Harris back in the days of YouTube Atheism. I'm not sure why I should give much credence to Harriss's stances however since Harris isn't really an expert in this field. Harris argues from a nueroscience perspective, while most expertise around Trans and Non Binary phenomenon is based in sociology.
