Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
You'd have to ask someone who feels they need those changes.
How can you say they don't need the changes if you're not them?
-- A2SG, remember Horatio...
Telling children that they can have any career they want seems less realistic than telling them that they can be any gender.You're taking the rarest of mental health exceptions, we are talking really rare exceptions, taken those exceptions into the public sphere and are wanting to tell little kids in kindergarten - not that they can have any career they choose when they grow up and encourage thinking towards adulthood nooo... They want to teach them they can be any gender?
Really? No... Just no.
That's stupid quackery... And far more dangerous to kids than snake oil.
They were biologically male. Now are the terms effeminate and macho familiar to you?What was John Wayne's gender? What was Paul Lynde's gender?
Yeah they're personality traits.They were biologically male. Now are the terms effeminate and macho familiar to you?
Because someone who doesn't know anything about the Duke, might easily say the guy in the picture looks effeminate.Why did you post that picture?
He looks effeminate to you? But that wasn't his personality. You think that there was a contradiction between how he appeared in that photo and his biological sex? You think he was exhibiting 'feminine qualities untypical of a man'?Because someone who doesn't know anything about the Duke, might easily say the guy in the picture looks effeminate.
That picture is widely circulated because it doesn't fit his on screen image.He looks effeminate to you?
So gender is just another word for personality.But that wasn't his personality.
Nope.You think that there was a contradiction between how he appeared in that photo and his biological sex?
Nope.You think he was exhibiting 'feminine qualities untypical of a man'?
It looks less masculine than the apex of masculinity you're using him as an example of.You think that wearing shorts like that makes you less masculine?
They're indications of a man pretending to be a woman (if you're talking about a man in wearing women's clothing and make up)How about a frilly shirt? Heels. Silk scarf. Makeup. Are those indications of someone who is macho or effeminate?
A man disguising himself as a woman is just that; a disguise.One of my children wears them. The other doesn't. Do you think you could tell their biological sex using to that information?
Those are personality traits. You're basically arguing the whole way that gender is being used as another word for personality.Nah, of course you can't. But you could tell which one was more masculine and which was more feminine.
A little bit of both. But are you also saying "gender" means "personality"?What about yours? Did you choose them? Or did they develop naturally?
So if someone feels comfortable wearing frilly shirts and silk scarves and makeup then do you think that person's personality aligns with what you consider to be male or female?Those are personality traits. You're basically arguing the whole way that gender is being used as another word for personality.
Personality is certainly part of gender. There is a range of personality types, some of them more often associated with biological females, some more with biological males. But not always.A little bit of both. But are you also saying "gender" means "personality"?
I'm a little lost here. It seems you're saying gender is defined by personality and taste in clothing.So if someone feels comfortable wearing frilly shirts and silk scarves and makeup then do you think that person's personality aligns with what you consider to be male or female?
You do seem a little lost. I'm just describing certain preferences and personality traits that people have. That are often associated with either males or females. Quite often they align with the sex of the person who exhibits them. Sometimes not.I'm a little lost here. It seems you're saying gender is defined by personality and taste in clothing.
Going by what you're saying the word "gender" is just another way of saying "style" and "personality".You do seem a little lost. I'm just describing certain preferences and personality traits that people have. That are often associated with either males or females. Quite often they align with the sex of the person who exhibits them. Sometimes not.
So if the Duke, for example, was found to enjoy wearing frilly dresses and silk scarves and makeup in the privacy of his own home, then I wouldn't have a problem with it. Would that be a problem for you? Would it be feminine or masculine behaviour as you see it?
'Just' another way? No. Don't jump to conclusions. I'll ask the question again:Going by what you're saying the word "gender" is just another way of saying "style" and "personality".
So is it being said that a person who doesn't dress and or act like a typical male isn't a male?Personality is certainly part of gender. There is a range of personality types, some of them more often associated with biological females, some more with biological males. But not always.
