Comment on How do you "feel" gender?

My take on this is pretty simple, and manages to alienate tradwifes and transbians alike: gender is a social construct, and like most social constructs worth freeing yourself from. “Assigned” is a key word here, no one is born with an inherent gender to be right or wrong. Sex is a separate concept entirely, currently immutable and relevant only in the context of reproduction. Being the best you you can be (and defining what that means) is a lifelong process with no shortcuts or easy answers. Allowing a false dichotomy between hard tough exploiter and soft pretty resource to shape your very sense of self is a tragic waste of the miracle of experience. That perspective is useful only to this sick society’s goal of total extraction, not our human need to love and be loved
