Nuts, berries, seeds, roots rather than fruit.
So is gender constructed by society as many liberals would have us believe? So if we teach boys to be less assertive and to play with dolls or play games in the school yard that will have a certain knock on effect, we can change the nature of gender?
Youād need to nip them just to be sure
Iāve genuinely no idea what youāre trying to ask there pal.
Weāve all these lefty nut bags saying theyāre gonna use gender neutral pronounās and names and let the kid decide their own genderā¦ Like itās a choice or something that society constructs. If itās a construct how can you be born in the wrong body? If itās a construct surely you can reconstruct it? The abuse @alf_stewart got here for asking these questions was totally uncalled for. Not one of his detractors attempted to answer questions he raised.

Testosterone affects brain development so brains of boys and girls develop differently from before they are born.

Can it be a construct if it is also something inherent that people feel.
If itās a societal construct then it canāt also be a sense of self. So is a biological female who feels they are a different gender reacting to societal construct or an internal sense of self.
Gender is also the only thing where people are permitted by society to self identify without external evidence. If a white man said he self identified as black heād be rounded on as deluded or racist.
Where is that drugs thread?
Thereās two genders, male or femaleā¦ You āidentifyā as one or the other apparentlyā¦ The traits of each are supposedly constructed by society. Some liberals seem to go as far as letting their kids āchooseā their gender and what they identifyā¦ They try and let the child choose itās gender by using gender neutral terms/ games/ clothes etc etc.
My point is, is there not some kind of contradiction in all of that?

There is.
But if you challenge it youāll be called prejudiced. Woke dogma has replaced religious dogma. Prejudiced is the new blasphemer.

There are people out there (probably always have been) who are male but identify as being female, and vice versa. Not a huge amount but nevertheless they exist.
What do you say to them? Youāre a man and suck it up?!!
Is gender the same in all societies?
Does it mean the same to be male or female in all societies? Biological sex isnāt a construct. Gender is.
I personally think all that gender neutral stuff and letting your kid choose is a bit too far and all that gender reveal stuff is fucking mental, but hey ho, itās their lives and their kids.
Even biological sex isnāt binary because you can get people who are born hermaphrodites
At some point you just have to accept that itās a stupid argument. The argument itself canāt happen without adopting a stupid vocabulary and pseudo scientific language specifically invented to promote the idea.
First world problems I suppose.
