I seriously don’t understand the obsession with the dictionary definitions of sex and gender being different. Why is it such a commonly argued point? And why is gender-obsession such a common thing for teens and young adults on the internet? It is such a little part of your overall personality and identity, at least in my view. And I don’t think any other previous generations of teens were ever so obsessed with their own gender identity, as far as I know. It’s mainly an internet thing to make such a big fuss about where you fall on the “gender spectrum.” I don’t get it. Does it really play such a big role in their lives?
From a "Terf"* standpoint, gender and sex being different is important.
Biological sex being a dimorphic, material, definable reality vs gender being a set of traits, like masculinity and femininity. Whilst it's accepted by normal people that gender is binary - ie, your biological sex dictates you gender, troons argue that gender is purely a choice, something you can self-identify with.
They argue therefore, that self ID is more important than biological sex. Some even argue that biological sex isn't a real thing. Which is lunacy. Rhys McKinnon is fond of arguing that humans aren't sexually dimorphic at all. Others, like Emmy Zje believe they're biological females purely because they've chosen the gender identity of woman.
They use intersex people as a shield in this argument as well. They have nothing whatsoever in common with intersex people. They don't have variations on their chromosomes and they well know this. People like Jonathan Yaniv will pretend that they're intersex and have both male and female sexual organs - that's impossible.
Trans people, no matter how much they wish, try, pump themselves full of horse piss hormones, can never ever change sex. Never. They can mutilate their genitals all they like, they can never ever be the opposite sex.
So they say to hell with sex, let Gender Self ID be the defining thing in society.
In society, we don't assign "gender" at birth. We use science to determine biological sex. That's why a birth certificate will say SEX. Sex is Male or Female.
Troons however, have wrongly conflated sex with gender. They argue gender is assigned at birth. It is not. Female and Male are purely sex definers. Woman and Man are gender.
Yet - and this is the most ridiculous part - troons have been allowed to change their birth certificates to Female or Male. That impacts medical records and is factually and scientifically incorrect. That should never have been allowed to occur, because it's impractical, impossible and pure fallacy.
It's also dangerous and whilst I don't care if a troon dies because they want to lie about their biological sex in a medical setting, it's still a problem in society.
They should never, ever have been allowed to change their SEX - something that can never EVER change - on formal documents. You cannot have a penis and be female and you cannot have a vagina and be male.
So if you're asking if it plays a big role in their lives - yes it does. It plays a massive role in their lives because they're out to prove they ARE the opposite sex. Something they know is impossible.
Not only that, but being a fetish for most of these people, they live and die by the fetish. It's a powerful drug.
If you look at troons, a vast majority of them are sex obsessed. They have this fetish view that a female/woman is just a sex object, constantly craving cock, submissive, bimbofied. The bimbofication aspect is a huge part of their fetish in most cases.
So yeah, when you're a sex pest living out your fetish 24/7, it is the main puzzle piece to your identity.
