The reason you don’t get it is because logic is incompatible with stupidity. Stop wasting your time with these clowns. All they are saying is that your status as a man or a woman is determined by your personality traits (if you’re masculine you’re a man, if you’re feminine you’re a woman) which is a sexist lie all by itself. It is the literal equivalent of claiming that I might not actually be a Black woman because because I don’t like hip-hop and didn’t grow up poor. If you know better than that then you know better than to accept this sexist garbage spewed by gender ideologues. They just might have white supremacists beat with how proudly regressive and stupid they are. Besides, Most of these “transgenders” are trans-PRETENDERS anyway, aka basic azz white kids seeking to forge an identity as an oppressed minority. Talk about privilege- when you literally have nothing to worry about in life other than typical growing pains so you just start making up crap to paint yourself as “marginalized”. Pathetic!

Raises and partially answers the question of what happens when our identity is defined by feelings (or for those evolutionary psychologists out there...chemicals floating around in our head). One of the speakers actually states there is no explicit end or limit to someone on their identity journey. Can't help but think from a science perspective here - if the same individual's gender or "internal sense of self" would in fact be the same if they were raised with different family, societal constructs, experiences that lead to different feelings (chemicals). Conversely the Christian world view is that your identity exists outside of your feelings/chemicals, "The human heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked, who can really know it?" Jeremiah 17:9 which probably explains with the steady decline or polarisation of the Christian perspective from society we are seeing a corresponding increase in definitions, societal challenges and instability.

Like a man feeling more like a woman and the same goes for the opposite, or smth, isn't that just a personality thing? Not a gender thing, but just a man liking something you don't usually see a man likes sometimes, a man acting like a woman can also just be because of the media or experiences he absorbed throughout life or he genuinely just took a liking to certain things, like to dolls and pink stuff. It's not that huge of a deal, so I don't get why transgrender is a thing and I'm really trying my best here, I am, but my child brain can't wrap around this whole trans thing. Rather than gender or sex problem I think it's just how people can and have varying personalities made genetically or by the medias and experiences they had… It's the best I can do to understand this.

You're doing pretty good I think. Gender is a societal construct. We as a society at some point decided that "females" played with dolls and "males" like cars. If you are a male who likes dolls and she/her pronouns, then you're not a male. This is entirely arbitrary and stereotypical. However, unfortunately, we do live in a society. And this society runs on a binary system, whether we like it or not. Almost everyone has lived with this for so long that it is hard to understand that this system doesn't actually make much sense. Afterrall, we're just all humans with three different types of biological sexes. Why does the way we dress and things we like have to matter in that? To fit into society, we are expected to fit the standard of "male" or "female" boxes. However, if your sex is male but you're not one internally, then you do not fit the box. An error in the binary system. The term to use then is "Trans" (think biology class, when you were learning about cis and trans golgi bodies in Cell). A person whose gender doesn't fit their biological sex is labelled as Trans. They can "transition" into their gender to fit in the other binary box. (or maybe, fit into both boxes, or none at all) You said gender as a personality thing. To slightly correct it, "it is an identity thing." Being trans is about *who you are* as opposed to *who you are wrongfully perceived by society to be.* If society considered gender to not be limited to binary then there wouldn't be this conversation at all. Let everyone be who they are. At the end of the day, if we're all nice and kind to each other, then why do stereotypical gender labels have to matter? We're just people, man. We're all gonna die one day and what's in someone else's pants isn't gonna matter then.

Hi there, yes entirely fair. in the same way that some terms become outdated and other things are brought into existence language needs to be reflective of the word it's used to describe. In the same way people have had to unlearn words like colored, oriental, mongoloid, calling things "gay" or "retarded." I supposed yes, these words would be unknown but new words are introduced into the lexicon all the time. At one point guacamole wasn't a household term, nor was salsa or even cherry coke but as we recognize them we need to identify them accordingly. Ze / Xe / Ey have actually been introduced into the English language as non-binary pronouns several times but they're not commonly taught because of how repressed/ isolated the trans population has been. You likely don't need to know the names of cheeses they don't sell in your local markets or plants you rarely encounter. When they become part of your world they deserve their own proper linguistic terminology : ) Hope that helps!

@@Sprayfaint I disagree about why neopronouns have had such trouble historically. It's a long time interest of mine. I've been seeking to get some neutral pronouns established for many decades, long preceding the more recent non-binary identification (my reason was more about feminism and avoiding presumptions of male defaults). There have been LOTS of attempts over the decades (you've probably never heard of "co" and "per" and such, which came and went with few ripples), but each has only been used in some small context - nobody could agree to standardize them, each group made up their own, there was no accumulated momentum. The recent surge in neo-pronouns also ran into almost the same problems. Except this time, rather than different sets of pronouns scattered sparsely over time and place, there were dozens hitting at once and in effect competing with each other. Again, no ability to agree and compromise and push one consistent set. It's hard historically to change structure words like pronouns; we add nouns and verbs and adjectives (or new meanings of existing ones) all the time, but pronoun changes tend to take literally hundreds of years to change. When you combine that human tendency with a plethora of proposed new varieties, and expect people to remember every person's individual and *current* preferences, it's a really hard sell, at least among this species. This involves an imposed cognitive load which does not resonate with people as justified. Sure, we can learn whatever pronoun a daughter uses, but for everybody we meet - when many are barely able to remember names? Not going to happen broadly and sustainably. However, even more recently, "they/them" has gotten by far the most traction I have ever witnessed as an acutely interested participant/observer. This is not a neo-pronoun, it's a variant on an existing usage. Yay! In my quest to avoid unnecessary he/she assumptions but also communicate well, I settled on using "they" when I could several decades ago. Like "if a user wants to delete their answer, they can click on the red X at the bottom". If done well, few people will notice, and this use of "they" to represent an unknown or unspecified person actually goes back centuries (tho its popularity has varied over time). The most recent usage has expanded that historical usage to incude a new thing -known persons who identify as non-binary. Semantically, there is a difference between "person of unknown gender" and "person of known non-binary gender". But "they/them" has recently become used for both, a small linguistic innovation. To be honest, I was rooting for standardizing on a neopronoun set like "zie/zim" because it would preserve the semantic nuance described above and avoid singular/plural ambiguities. I like expressive language. But since no such neopronoun is winning out linguistically, I'm happy enough to have "they/them" as the new standard, and hoping it succeeds for the long run. But the core reason we may settle on "they/them" is that we as a community have been utterly unable to come to any consensus about a single neo-pronoun set. If we were more cooperative and collaborative, more of a real functioning community, we could do that - and I'd be glad to throw my full support on the new standard as well. This is a historic moment where the language might permanently shift - but only if we could form consensus. Failing that, "they/them" is ok. I believe that (whether we like it or not) the approach of everybody choosing idiosyncratic neo-pronouns from a large set of options, is going to be in the end a temporary and forgotten historical fad, known someday only to specialists in linguistic history as an amusing quirk of the early 21st century. (Read up on the roots of "okay" to get the flavor of that). But the usage of "they/them" for indeterminate and neutral gender may just stick around for the long run. I'm not advocating this so much as predicting it.

The sense of inner self refers to one's subjective experience and understanding of themselves, including their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about who they are as a person. For transgender individuals, this sense of inner self may conflict with the gender they were assigned at birth based on their physical sex characteristics. In other words, they may feel like their true gender identity doesn't match the body they were born with, which can cause significant distress and discomfort. Sense of inner self is like your gut feeling, your vibe, your intuition about who you are at your core. And for transgender individuals, that vibe might not match what society expects based on their birth-assigned gender.

They would recognise this was only furthering the oppression the black community has faced from white people. Whereas women are being lambasted for saying "Don't call me a cis woman, or a person who menstruates, I'm a woman". Or are being called transphobic for saying that it only furthers the oppression of a minority group who have been historically (and are still!) oppressed to force them to change their own identity language to please others. Or we're "transphobic" for identifying that the experience of being a woman is different to the experience of being a trans woman, and we are equal, but different. We're not even allowed to speak out as ourselves, as people with lived experience in the category being debated, without being called transphobic!

So telling someone "be a man!" or "you're such a girl" is wrong, because it forces someone to behave in a way they might not be comfortable with. But telling someone that has feelings of being any other gender than what they are, based on their body, that they are trans is good, despite the fact that you use the same exact gender stereotypes to reach that conclusion? What do you suppose drives a young boy to grow his hair long and put on makeup and dresses, if not to swap one set of gender stereotypes for another? Shouldn't we instead just conclude that gender stereotypes are irrelevant, and shouldn't be used as a basis for determining our behavior or indeed anything in our lives? Is the solution to eliminating the "boxes" of male and female behavior to create a third box to put people into? Couldn't we instead just ignore gender stereotypes and live as we wish, laughing at those who stubbornly adhere to them and pointing out their absurdity? Couldn't we stop "teaching" children that they have accept this new third box, and instead teach them to ignore the entire concept of boxes by living virtuous lives, free from the arguments around gender conformity? I invite you to consider that there is a higher road to be taken that the one presented in this video.

Sex doesn’t determine what you are and how you choose to be, our gender identity and how we express it is completely within our control.

Well if genders were colors, it might be like going from red to purple. Red isn't purple, and purple isn't red, so while red is very similar to purple, it isn't the same color, and generally needs to be seen as it's own color.

So if you look at it from seeing nonbinary people as just another gender, yes it is possible to physiologically transition into being intersex. It's fairly uncomplicated and simple to do.

+lakon childs The term "trans" originates from a Latin etymology which means "across". When referencing the term "transition", it describes a process where something changes from one state to another. People who claim to be non-binary do not tend to undergo a solid transition, rather, they usually simply choose to dress slightly differently from most people. There is nothing inherently wrong with expressing one's self how they choose, but people seem to be conflating gender with self expression. Gender does concern some internal conceptions of an individual about themselves, but it is also a method of categorizing an individual into a biological sex, based upon secondary sexual characteristics. Transgender individuals will usually attempt to undergo hormonal and/or surgical procedures in order to adopt these secondary sexual characteristics in order to be perceived as the opposite sex, even if their biological sex does not actually change. Moreover, there are some very real biological discrepancies between men and women -- psychologically, actually. This is not indiscriminately true for every man or woman, but there are general tendencies for men and women to possess certain personality characteristics, behaviors, and interests. It is precisely this discrepancy which makes gender dysphoria a very real concern, where someone whose fundamental psychology is not compatible with their physical body. Perhaps some people who claim to be non-binary do experience dysphoria, but it is also true that many individuals to adopt this label do so on behalf of a political fad. In fact, the same can be said of certain traditional cases of transgenderism; however, there is significantly less repercussion in changing one's wardrobe than changing one's physical body. For some people, non-binary is an easy way to claim the status of "transgender", even if their attempts to actually transition into anything are extraordinarily limited if existent at all. It really overshadows the legitimate concerns of many authentic transgender individuals. I think it important to promote further research into the topic of non-binary identity, but it is important to differentiate between those who truly feel dysphoria versus those who simply wish to dress differently and/or gain political status.

I like to explain it like this: Sex and gender are completely different. Someone with a penis may identify as a man. Another person with a penis may identify as a woman. And another person with a penis may identify as both and neither! It’s not the genitalia that makes gender, it’s how we perceive and think of ourselves. The chromosomes and genitalia are under that “sex” label. I am genderfluid. So at one time I might feel more masculine and sometimes I physically present that way and other times I present neutrally or feminine. Everyone is different though! The ‘gender unicorn’ is an incredible diagram that lists a multitude of things and I find it SUPER helpful for those wanting to understand but getting a confused or overwhelmed :)

Why conflate 'gender' and 'sex'? The speakers are confused because they view gender and sex as the same. Sex is simply biology, gender is subjective. Sex is just fact while gender requires a faith-based belief. What about those of us who aren't into faith? We know our sex cos it's just biology but we don't embrace faith. Why exclude us?

Ok,now I know a bit more which is good. I know now I am cis gender for example. 3 weeks ago I didn't even know the difference between gays and trans.

@quanta2770

I think the start of the video covers your point on the distinction between “trans” and “gay”. My understanding is that: - the term ‘gay’ is used to describe people attracted to the same sex. So, being ‘gay’ refers to someone’s *sexuality*, ie sexual preference. - the term ‘trans’ refers to someone who breaks away from the limiting, stereotypical cis male / cis female binary system. That is to say, people who are “born male” or “born female”, and live their whole life happily accepting that gender assignment + gender role. In this sense, being ‘trans’ refers to someone’s *gender* (or gender identity). Gender and sexuality are of course two different things! And when you have two different factors, it creates not just a spectrum, but an axis. As an example, one person may identify as a straight, trans female. Someone else may identify as an asexual, cis female. Both identify as female, one is trans while the other is cis, and their sexualities are pretty much an unrelated other part of their identities. Please correct me if I am off base on any of this ❤

The degree to which this presentation depends upon and reinforces gender stereotypes is concerning. Basically, but the definitions used here, I don't think I've ever met a human who is cisgendered, as in completely in alignment with all gender stereotypes. (Watch for yourself, I am not exaggerating how they frame it). So we are all trans. And any young person who doesn't completely identify with the stereotypes is encouraged to consider themselves trans. That's not helpful to anybody. It misrepresents the trans experience, as well as the experiences of most other humans as a false binary: if you are completely in alignment with every concept your society currently associates with your birth sex, then you are cis; otherwise you are trans. That is not inclusion or good sense.

@@zephsmith3499 in a way, yes, gender is a spectrum, but for a large amount of people it is quite binary, thus the binary gender system that is female and male. Also along with what you are saying, sex is also technically a spectrum, with slight (or not so slight) variations between person to person, that's just how it is, does that make everyone intersex? No, it does not. The system of binary and non binary sex and gender is so unfathomably complex, physiologically, that we simplify it down to the nearest binary or non binary, similar to how 1/3x3 is simplified to 1 instead of 0.9 with the 9 indefinitely repeating, of course there are larger leaps than that, but for the majority, that's how it is. To addon, technically all people who were born male are trans, or at least some form of intersex, seeing as we all start out as females until the Y chromosome is activated leading to male genitalia and whatever is Y chromosome specific. Of course, like most things, I have simplified this quite a bit by taking trace variables out and only going with the basics, though it would change very little, if anything, if I include them, it would just be a whole lot more typing. P.S. anyway, I'm going to go to sleep now and will check to see if there is a response sometime in the late evening tomorrow. P.P.S. as a side note, gender is how you identify, say a person is AMAB and identifies as male, are cis, but if someone is AMAB but identify as female or other they are trans, the second of the 2 would more specifically be non-binary.

@@hiimapenguin Since gender is about socially constructed stereotype clusters, and nobody fits all the stereotypes, I can understand that one simplified model is to think of it as a spectrum. (I personally far prefer to abolish the stereotypes and let people have whatever mixture of stereotyped or non-stereotyped traits they wish, but I nevertheless can understand how the simplified 'spectrum' model would appeal to some people). Biological sex on the other hand is at heart about reproduction; all else is just secondary markers associated with sex. There are exactly two gametes. There is no third gamete, and no gamete which is 1/4 sperm and 3/4 ovum. The only way for mammals to reproduce is to combine exactly a gamete from each type; not two of the same type, not two of one type and one of the other, exactly one of each. That's as binary as it gets, and biologically this goes far beyond homo sapiens. Of course, there are sometimes genetic and development errors which cause some of the secondary and tertiary markers typically associated with (but NOT comprising) sex to be atypical. A tiny proportion of humans is born with truly ambiguous genitalia, for example, and this is called "intersex". But intersex people do not comprise a third sex, or produce gametes which are 1/3 male and 2/3 female. There is no spectrum of sex - though one might find a spectrum in such markers as penis size or clitoris size, but those are not sex, they are markers statistically associated with sex. Some people accidentally or deliberately confuse secondary markers of sex with sex itself, and I am familiar with their arguments but find them scientifically unsupported, closer to the old debates about how many angels can fit on the head of a pin - abstract word games divorced from physical reality. None of that wordplay matters to sexual reproduction which still requires exactly one male gamete to fuse with exactly one female gamete, period. No postmodern philosophy changes that binary reality. Gender does not become binary, or biologically determined, just because some people personally think of it that way; gender is still socially constructed and they are still somewhere on that socially constructed gender spectrum. And sex does not become a spectrum just because some people confuse it with the secondary traits typical of a sex; they are still mammals with no third gamete type nor intermediate gametes for biological reproductive purposes. I'm not saying this to harm anybody, it's just trying to be rational and thoughtful. These facts are 100% compatible with treating all people (of *any* combination of sex and gender) kindly and compassionately. Being kind and compassionate does not require ignoring the factual universe. Nor does it require us to reinforce gender stereotypes, telling people what social constructions are only for women or only for men. It is not hateful to reject coercive stereotyping. I am advocating acceptance and tolerance and appreciation of human diversity - and also factual honesty, and there is no conflict whatsoever in that approach.

Can I ask a question to you guys? I hope asking to you will be useful and informative, unlike the video. I really don't get the core concept of "gender". I'm biologically a male. Let's say tomorrow I want to paint my nails, make my hair pink and wear makeup. What prevents me from doing that? Nothing, should be the correct and most logical response. In an actually progressive and inclusive society, nobody would feel the need to judge another person based on their sex, and more in general nobody would assume that certain things and behaviors are for men and some are for women, simply because it's clear that sex and behaviors are not mutually implied in any way. In a society like this, where everybody can feel and act as they want and desire, why would anyone feel the need to change sex to get "permission" from people to do and be certain things? If the "masculine" and "feminine" stuff is just a social construct (and it is, in fact) and not an actual consequence of your sex, why validate this construct by switching sex to pair your gender identity with the sex you think it's associated with? I really really don't get it. And please don't elude the question by saying "trans people don't hurt anyone, they just want to be happy", because as you know this topic has many other potential implications on a large scale that should be carefully considered.

So no, they can't just "relax" and expect everything to be sunshine and rainbows.

Your choice of gender seems to be based off what the traits of a certain gender are based off of what society views those genders as. But my question is why does the gender norms even matter? It seems that switching gender based off of how one feels makes gender obsolete. It seems like those who decide to transgender feel the need to assign themselves a name such as transgender due to gender norms. Why can't you just be a person who feels feminine or masculine in some aspects? Why should how you feel have to place you into a gender category? Why can't you just be a person who feels whatever you wanna feel? People are just people, I don't understand why gender norms even exist when in today's society people can look and be anything.

@own4801

Жыл бұрын

Being transgender is not about "switching gender based off of how one feels." It's about a deeply felt sense of incongruence between one's assigned sex at birth and one's gender identity. It's not just about personality and emotions, it's about a fundamental sense of who you are. And as for your question about why gender norms even matter, well, have you ever heard of something called "systemic oppression?" Yeah, that's kind of a big deal. Gender norms and expectations are deeply ingrained in our society, and they often lead to discrimination and violence against people who don't conform to them. And as for your suggestion that people should just be able to feel whatever they want without having to place themselves into a gender category, well, that's a lovely idea in theory, but it's not how the world works. Gender is a social construct, but it's a powerful one, and it affects everything from how we're treated in the workplace to whether or not we're safe walking down the street at night.

So basically a person can do nothing to change their appearance and just claim to be anything they want. Yeah, that will go over real well..... Lol that is exactly why people have concerns about this topic. I used to think they were wrong, but now people like the ones in this video make me see how far that slippery slope is headed. I care more about safety and freedom than I care about hurting your feelings, or whether or not you throw "transphobe" at me. Also, calling it "assigned" gender implies that it's normal not to relate to your genitalia. No. That is highly unusual, as you even admitted. And nobody is 100% masculine or feminine, so the term nonbinary is irrelevant and meaningless.

I do disagree with the point/laws saying that mig-gendering someone is an act of violence punishable by law and sentenceable to prison for speaking what you thought was right on an observation. You can be corrected and educated on the proper pronouns and that's how we move forward as a society but to go to the extreme of imprisioning someone just because of that is a little too much. This will always happen (everywhere around the world) unless people wear their pronouns on their forehead or face, you will be misgendered ALL THE TIME. Does that mean every person who you come across needs to be imprisoned for that, I dont think so. What about formal documentation when someone is writing a paper to a general audience are they conformed to list out every pronoun list that is growing everyday and changing will that person be criticized about what pronouns were used rather than focusing on the topic the person actually wanted to present when the writer had no bias or objection to how a person should live their life.

I have an honest question, and I really don't want to upset anyone or be edgy, just trying to be more informed! What makes it so that instead of choosing to be male or female, you would choose to be for example non-binary, without body dysphoria? In case it has to do with social norms, why would you not just choose to behave as feminine or masculine as you prefer at any given time? I consider myself to have quite a few feminine traits, being a man, and if anyone has a problem with that, it's theirs to deal with if they want to remain in any kind of relationship with me. Thanks in advance, looking forward to your insights!

So three things: 1, identity is not a choice, but labels are. To use an analogy, if you were feeling tired, you probably didn't choose to feel tired, but you might choose a way to describe that if someone asked you depending on how you felt, e.g. "I'm feeling sleepy/tired/exhausted." So for me I didn't choose to be nonbinary, but I did choose to start describing myself as Nonbinary/Genderqueer/Androgyne, because those words best match how I feel. It's kinda confusing, but basically think of it as "born this way", same as sexuality. 2, nonbinary people can have dysphoria. It can be similar to the dysphoria experienced by binary trans people e.g. I have dysphoria around my body being too feminine, which trans men may also experience. It can also be different to the dysphoria experienced by binary trans people e.g. I have dysphoria over not be called by they/them pronouns, and I have dysphoria around not being able to look "feminine in a boyish way". I don't imagine that many binary people would feel like that. 3, gender identity =/= gender roles/norms. I like pop music and the colour purple and having long hair. Doesn't make me a woman. I also like electric guitar and the colour blue and male-dominated STEM subjects. Doesn't make me a man. What I think does make me the gender that I am is the way I want to be perceived. I want to look in the mirror and look androgynous, and I want people to see me as neither a man or a woman. So to me it doesn't matter what traits you have - if you're happiest being perceived as a man by yourself and by others, you're a man. Hope that helped!

And secondly, understanding and respecting someone's gender identity isn't about memorizing some complex algorithm. It's about basic human decency and treating people with respect. It's not that hard to use someone's correct pronouns or call them by their chosen name. So next time you feel like complaining about how "difficult" it is to acknowledge someone's gender identity, take a step back and consider how much harder it is for trans people to live in a world where people refuse to respect who they are.

Great video; very positive. One point though, as far as I know no-one is 'assigned' a gender at birth. You are assigned a sex. You made the distinction between sex and gender in the video, and that is completely valid. That the childs sex will match their gender in most cases is irelevant as far as the doctors/midwives are concerned.

There is no evidence of any kind for "an internal sense of self" separate from the body. This "internal sense of self" is nothing more than a thought in the brain, which is part of the body. Thoughts just take place in the brain, there is no such thing as a thought separate from a body. The brain-body system is one system, there are no thoughts outside it.

Well, well, well, if it isn't another ignorant soul who thinks that just because people in developing countries struggle with basic needs, they can't care about social issues like transgender rights. Let me break it down for you, sweetie. Just because someone is struggling to find food and water doesn't mean they don't have the mental capacity to care about other issues that affect their fellow humans. And as for your "chode blocking my vagina" comment, I'm not even going to dignify that with a response. It's disgusting, immature, and shows a complete lack of understanding about the complexities of gender identity. So let's get one thing straight, honey. The world is a strange and diverse place, and people can care about more than one thing at a time. So next time you feel like spewing some ignorant nonsense, maybe think twice and educate yourself before embarrassing yourself on the internet.

People seem to be saying gender is a social construct, however it seems more accurate to me that *gender roles* would be a construct instead. In my opinion at least people should be able to express themselves and act the way they want without having to change their gender to explain their behaviour. Because a few years back people would say when a boy acts feminine, it would be breaking gender norms. However nowadays people would assert that it means the boy is actually a girl. What I’m saying is that it seems like people transition because they don’t fit the gender norms of their biological sex. But it is still very possible for a boy to act feminine and a girl to act like masculine? Secondly, is being transgender a choice or is it something you are born with like gay or lesbian people? I’m not very knowledgable about gender or sex and I would like some clarification about this… I’m not trying to attack anyone I would just like to understand better :)

I might get some hate for this, but understand that this is not coming from the place of hate, but concern. I feel like a lot of these people seem to be confusing aesthetics and personality with gender identity. Men and women have been dressing in gender non-conforming ways since forever, it`s part of growing-up and experimenting with your fashion, or being part of different subcultures. Also, by definitions of femininity and masculinity changes throughout cultures and history, what is considered masculine in XXI. century Korea is not the same as what is considered masculine Scandinavia during the viking era. None of that makes anyone transgender tough without having gender dysphoria and having the desire to physically change their biological gender to match the gender they identify with. Bluntly put, unless I at least to some degree want to transition into the another gender (aka want cut off what I was born with and replace them with the opposite genitalia), I am not transgender, sorry. I somehow feel like trans and gender identify in general somehow became the new fashionable thing for young people to rebel against societal norms with, but being trans is not a subculture or fashion choice like being goth, rocker, Lolita etc., and it can a very painful experience for a lot of actually trans people. It made into "this", is actually quite disturbing. I am not coming from a place of hate or anything like that, do not misunderstand, please. I fully support the trans community and always have. However, I am worried that there inherent dangers to seeing being trans, nonbinary etc. as a fashion statement or special, to the community and on the individual level as well.

There are multiple concepts of liberalism. The usage in the phrase "liberal democracy" (which would encompass a variety of political parties and philosophies allowed to compete fairly) is different than the usage in "a liberal American Democrat" (one particular philosophy). Europeans and political science use "liberal" to refer to a political philosophy which Americans would find closer to libertarianism. Etc. The core concepts common to these variations are respect for the rights of individuals to seek their own destiny. Authoritarianism is illiberal. Capitalism is implied by some but not all concepts of liberalism. And many political liberals support social welfare capitalism with regulated markets, a kind of hybrid between socialism and unfettered capitalism. Capitalism and socialism are not polar opposites; the are two among many ways to organize the economy of a society. But there have been many diverse societies around the world historically, before either of those two came into play. Either of these (historically recent) approaches tends to cause problems when totally dominant, which is why all developed nations today us some hybrid, seeking a sweet spot.

So the voters will pick their political leaders and then the leaders will make decisions to regulate the market. Socialism means that the government own all resources and make all decisions about the production. Socialism fails everytime.

@@christerpalmgren7019 My assertion was that social welfare capitalism is an attempted hybrid between capitalism and socialism. In the US, many people call for "socialism" but say they mean "democratic socialism" or "social democracy" and use various European nations as their examples. However those are at core capitalist countries with primarily private ownership, albeit with extended social welfare modifications which aim to give people some of the promised benefits of socialism, without actually being socialist. Marx and others expected capitalism to become ever more oppressive until the workers revolted. Instead it adapted, with labor laws and environmental reforms and social welfare (like social security, some form of government supported medical care, food assistance, etc). Instead of driving everybody but a few into poverty as the socialists expected, (modified) capitalism did the best job ever of bringing people out of it. (That's not to say there are no downsides or that we have reached perfection!! It's an ongoing process). But some are instead true socialists who advocate for government ownership of capital. I ask them for the examples of countries whose socialist outcomes they would like to emulate. Most often, they either point to social welfare capitalism instead, or cannot name any. Since the historic examples tend to be economic failures and/or too authoritarian for them to want to emulate, this puts them in a quandry. I'm sure you are aware of the "well, it's never been done right, all examples to date have done it wrong, but I know how to do it right" style of response, but I politely press further. I think they are well intentioned. My goal is not to mock or "own" them, but to stimulate some deeper looks at the difference between abstract theory, and how the real world works. And I'm open to learning from them; I don't have perfect understanding. I'm just a skeptic of utopian visions; as you say, too many dismal failures to make them attractive. Until and unless somebody provides some better evidence of real world success, I'm politely not buying.

This feels like the gender bending 80’s is back, but it’s been re marketed and rebranded. Having grown up through the the glam rock era, punk, Goth, New Romantics and of course the whole gender bending 80’s, non if this is actually new, apart form the language being used. There was no denial of biological reality back then. Gender non conformity, breaking gender stereotypes is all about going against gender expectations which is based on your sex. Once you deny sex exists, well you are not really “gender non conforming”. What I see now is a movement that promotes gender conformity. “I’m feminine, therefore I must not be a man”. Rather than “I’m a feminine man, deal with it”. I understand though. Society can not stand gender non conformity and they were outraged by the gender bending 80s. They hate masculine women and feminine men. As a butch lesbian, who came out in the 80s, I know only too well what society thinks of women like me. Who don’t conform to gender stereotypes. Who don’t dress for the male gaze. It has told me over and over I am not a real women. However I stand my ground. I will not let society take away my womanhood simply because I don’t conform. The medical world has largely ignored the female body. Research has revolved around males. Women are treated like mini males, despite our 6500 genetic differences. No matter how I dress, or my sexuality, or how l identify, it won’t change the fact that the medical world doesn’t give a shit about half the worlds population and the more we deny biology, the more we shoot ourselves in the foot and allow the medical world to keep on not giving a shit about Us.
