"Society" is present at every birth like, "Yeah you can be female". I mean, we can't decide what sex a new baby is lol what I'm trying to say is that gender is a social construct after all. Do they tell us? I don't really have an answer to that, but all my life I've been told to act like a man, like, if I don't act and look the way society wants me to be then I'm wrong or acting like a girl. Do you understand that? I'm lucky for growing in a society that is actually making changes. Even when I have to face stereotypes, I feel lucky that I can do many activities that would get me punished in the past. Maybe the way you read my post was too literal?

ltlmnstr 2,771 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I read every comment and no one wants to mention Gender Dysphoria Like we have studies of brain scans of Trans people with brains that are formed differently. I’m really tired of every Trans discussion on here it becomes a bunch of Cis people telling Trans people they are not real. Where are the Trans members of GGD? Band together.

imnotyourbabe10 6,120 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 It is a damn shame that, with access to science and tech at our fingertips, many cultures or societies still believe that gender is a "real" thing. Gender is a social construct, a performance, a "thing" that is "reified". There is a difference between biological sex and gender. I vote that we start labeling babies not as "boys" or "girls" but as "penis" or "vagina" or "intersex" as applicable. By labeling them with the binary boy/girl, we are already imposing societal assumptions or socialized roles/norms onto the child. I hate to use the sex organ as the way to classify but it might be better than "pink and blue," you know? I would also point to Goffman's analysis of bathrooms to demonstrate that gender is a construct. There is no inherent need for men/women's bathroom differentiation when the need they serve is biological and a shared biological function, no less. Why the separation? That is the societal imposition or assumptions around the differences between the genders. (This is oversimplified but was just trying to get the point across briefly).
