consider this : if "Some people are uncomfortable with society making distinctions based on gender, and it causes them grave discomfort with the growth of their own bodies" therefore it would imply that if people didn't make that distinction based on "gender" discomfort with their bodies and subsequently the desire to change it , by deduction this means that "gender" is the problem and people who reactionally change based to that distinction , based on gender , not only do not fix the problem but only perpetuates it
Yes and no. It’s true that society plays a significant role in causing gender dysphoria by imposing strict gender norms. However, claiming that making changes to align with societal expectations of gender isn't valid or doesn't "fix the problem" is an oversimplification.
Changing society is incredibly difficult and requires massive effort. But what people can do is make their own lives more comfortable. Aligning oneself with a gender that feels right—whether shaped by society or not—often causes comfort. If that involves surgery or changing one’s appearance, then why not? Transgender people, like anyone else, usually carefully consider every option.
The idea that 'gender' isn't real and therefore trying to align with it perpetuates a problem doesn’t hold up. Gender, however constructed, has real effects on people's lives, and denying that doesn’t help solve the issue.
Never really said anything in forms before but had to jump in. Very true though that gender is stupid.
