@ajbowmanofficial: Replying to @Scatpack23 “Made up” doesn’t mean imaginary. Language is made up. The phenomena we create language to describe aren’t. Science develops new terminology as our understanding develops. Rejecting a concept because the terminology is newer isn’t skepticism—it’s an argument from tradition. #genderidentity #lgbtq #transrights #EduTok #transgender

neilmartin509 :

The comment may be badly phrased but is, in essence, correct.

Jeremy hardgrove :

you do you and I do me. everything doesnt matter. everyone is entitled to feel the way they feel and be who they're meant to be

jimdoser2 :

Made up literally does mean imaginary. Jesus

eVEGANgelical :

All words are just made up

Red Flanders :

Comment is right.

jamesbetts722 :

made up was the wrong term it's the fact it's a choice for the person

avg_TT_enjoyer :

but things like germs, chromosomes and sexualities have a backbone in reality and would remain the same even after a full knowledge wipe. meanwhile gender would be built up different with other kind of borders and descriptions. exactly like any other made up construct. its the same for religions, there for sure would be new ones and they would have some similiar points but they would have entire different views. some people had mental problems, they talked about this problems and someone suddenly came up with the idea that they feel like x (how does anyone even know how x feels and if what the person feels is actually x or just their assumption because of their wish to describe their mental pain?). from that on suddenly someone developed a construct around it and at some point this construct had to be pushed on anyone else because validation was needed to keep it up and how do you better aquire it other than assuming everyone is part of it? its similiar to religions. people gather in communities, live in their believes and recruit anyone who is wavering. at some point their believes are above anything else and they try to force it on everyone. either in a friendly way or an offensive way.

duckeyedsmoke :

by that logic there is no gender identity?

texas misfit :

gender is a social construct because human beings have to put things in boxes because it makes certain people more comfortable to be a part of "us" and not them. Sexuality is a spectrum, there are people born with chromosomal differences that make them intersex (hell even in non humans trans entities exist) or that don't present as "typical". Transphobes are uneducated and thrive in their hatred and ignorance.

Gerard :

it's imaginary

JGT1170 :

It is perfectly obviously the poster means “empty” or “meaningless”.

krispyrichtee :

JustHere :

recognizing reality isnt hateful. its just normal

shortay Productions :

so how come you cant explain what a woman is ?

Charlie Mckechan :

I see why you’re confused, I think what you’re not understanding is the difference between subjective and objective reality

malena_taurus :

So talking about mens clothes and womens clothes and jobs and chores and stuff like that is actually for mentally ill and anyone can wear what ever they like and date anyone they like and do whatever they like? Since cis gender identity is also gender identity. So none of that ”it is for girls” or ”it is for boys” or ”men don’t do that” or ”women can’t be that”. Since they are gender identity things?

Scatpack23 :

Reread this several times till it sinks in.

iskald :

Tons of transphobes love going to a fancy house to call a celibate man in a dress father, so they get that identity doesn't have to line up with biology, they're just mad when someone else does it.

VibeWithKaylee :

Being transgender stopped being classified as a mental illness in major medical manuals during the 2010s, driven by the World Health Organization and the American Psychiatric Association to reduce social stigma while keeping access to medical care. - all words and languages are made up

scoutsleepee :

I wish men would stay in their lane. This affects WOMEN.

PhilMcCrevas :

Let’s call the anorexic fat then? Maybe tell the schizophrenic to listen to the voices! They are only helping!! Gender dysphoria is a mental illness as classified by your precious CDC so it should be treated as such

Peter in the Bush :

Gender is not a social construct as you like to say. A female deer is always a doe and a male deer is always a buck. Justifying insanity is another form of insanity

chardesenta30 :

Gender identity has been in DSM since 1980, but you’d have to read to learn history.

stevenmackay45 :

sex change to me is like the atomic bomb. think on Jurassic park film. Jeff goldblum says" scientists were so concerned weather they COULD do something. no one stopped to think if they should. like the atomic bomb. imagine if the first person ever to want to change sex was told NO. can't be done. but now we humans have made it SOOO easy . if that first person was told NO. that would be it. also these docs don't care about your mental state. they are just getting paid
