About the "gender is a social construct" argument.
If Gender is a social construct, and not at all dependent upon the brain, or genetics, and is simply an enforced idea by society... How do transgender people exist?
Discuss.

Edited by Nepgear: 5/5/2016 3:04:09 AMTo some degree, yes. Biology tells you that there is a fundamental difference between men and women, but some things like women are only meant be caretakers along with other things like that could easily be completely be blamed on society.

1 ReplyBy reinforcing gender stereotypes and then conforming to them. Being a feminine man or a masculine woman is just blasphemy. Gotta wear 'girl clothes' or 'male attire' to [i]truly[/i] be whichever gender it is that you want to play pretend as.

Gender, as I've understood it, is the social behaviors and expectations of each sex. I.e. men wearing pants, women wearing makeup, etc. But of course different cultures have different standards for the sexes.

25 RepliesIt's not a social construct. It's determined by your genes. Anyone who says otherwise needs to go back to 6th grade biology class.

2 RepliesUh.. what? Transgender is more of a social construct then identifying as an actual sex.

1 ReplyBecause the world wants to create "relative truth" , take away your common sense, and say "as long as your happy, you're normal" as our standard.

2 RepliesIt's an idea enforced by society by gender roles, you know, like a man having to provide for the family or not show emotions, or a woman being submissive to the husband and taking care of the kids. Transgender people, I think, I'm probably wrong because they confuse me, feel like they fit the stereotypical gender roles of the other gender, e.g. a man wanting to be a woman because the man might not be "manly," he might feel more feminine and emotional, so he might want to be trans. [spoiler]I don't know though, just my guess on it[/spoiler]
