Music Banter - Political Discussions for "Adults"

I think the subtlety arises because we experience our gender in many layers. The first is obviously our sex, there's also an obvious layer of superficial conventions: how we dress, act, our interests, etc. I think that there's something in between though, a part of our gender that's mainly sexual (but not our sexual orientation). I think that's part of why I, and many other young tomboys, come to identify themselves pretty unambiguously as female once they reach puberty. I'm not sure though and I need to go to sleep so maybe I'll read this tomorrow and be like 'what'

discrimination and exclusion for anyone who isn't cis gender is very real, and maybe you're living in a fortunately progressive place to not be aware of that

also I prefer to listen listen to the experiences of marginalized groups directly instead of demanding they prove themselves to me with "Science" or whatever, it's not really important whether I understand it

I don't demand anything of them

I'm just being honest about how I see it. I believe it's trending and people are jumping on the bandwagon. Not like that means I want to treat them any differently.

What do you think about otherkin?

Do you buy that they maybe should've been born a different species?

Yet that is largely what they proclaim and is what their actions seem geared towards

Eg injecting hormones of the opposite sex, plastic surgery designed to mimic the opposite sex, etc

again yes but no sometimes it depends can be

Vast majority are the way I described

Men who want to be women or vice versa

Those are people who you know are genuine. Anyone willing to take hormones or have surgery isn't playing games

As for the in betweens.. Yeah some of them are jumping on the band wagon
