RE: The Farce of Gender Pronouns — No Respect for Anything that Undermines Freedom of Speech

in #gender7 years ago

I'm ok with people living any way they like if it doesn't hurt others. I'm happy to hear them out and try to understand them. But I will not adopt the labels set by mainstream society when they try to dictate what is normal. Luckily I haven't encountered anyone who wanted me to use some new gender pronoun.

As for transgender, I have doubts about the whole concept. It obviously stems from real deviation from typical gender roles which is totally fine, but those gender roles are defined by society, so the whole thing seems a bit reactionary to me. That being said, I wouldn't pour these doubts on someone who identifies as trans because either way they obviously don't fit into the past idea of normal and it can be hard growing up like that, they don't need to deal with a person they don't know doubting them. It would be interesting to see if something like transgender would develop in a society with drastically different ideas about gender roles.

If Someone who is trans happens to read this, feel free to share your opinion here. No hate, I am happy to hear you out.
