Why should we*

I dont mind using pronouns or anything and i go out of my way to respect this new gender crisis but it makes 0 ****ing sense to me and if its only getting harder to not write it off.

There are instances of people naturally changing sex
Really rare but it's happened.

I understand this to an extent and get it for men and women who wake up every day feeling like theyre in the body of the wrong sex. However when you meet someone who is John one day and Jackie the next it seems more like confusion than something that deserves its own gender identity and there are a lot of genders identities that seem to do this. Why is it so hard to be a male who happens to have feminine gender characteristics to be cis? You are who you are, i dont really understand the point the gender spectrum for these types of feelings. We dont need a gender for guys who love Celine Dion. I want to see science.

the only thing science tells us is that there is very little difference between the sexes in terms of the brain

That's kinda confusing.. if the brains are largely the same what does it mean exactly to be a woman trapped in a man's body

Right I'm just trying to comprehend what it even means to think you have the wrong body if it's not a brain thing

Cause clearly there's nothing wrong their actual bodies

Care to explain? The gender spectrum lies between masculine and feminine. How is it deeper than a biological man or woman identifying with gender characteristics that don't fit their biological side of the spectrum?

I feel like its analogous to someone asking you your sexual orientation and then you making some **** up because "well I like dick, but men are gross.. and I only **** women in the butt, so im a floopadoopsexual." Nah dude, youre just bi with a preference.

China’s one child policy was the only substantial environmental law in human history.

I think most of it is subconscious to the point where you wouldn't really consider it unless you found yourself "in the wrong body"

If you really believe this than it seems to me every person is their own gender since we are all unique which brings us back to: who cares what gender you are?

In my experience its used more as a justification. “You wouldn't understand cause youre not x gender” type stuff when in reality they probably dont understand either since as you said earlier its hard to articulate.

I read a reddit post the other day in which someone identified as a hermaphrodite and their explanation was because they looked androgynous. After a short mostly civil back and fourth we agreed to disagree. Ill have to see if i can still find aome of the justifications used
