It seems like a contradiction between a proclaimed ideology and an expressed one.The wordings of -your- statements? I thought these were the statements of others, accepted by liberals? If it seems like a contradiction, it's because you have a sloppy mind.
Quote:Arbitrary, and rather valueless. I don't think this ideology, call it what you like, finds stereotypial gender roles compelling.Society, however, does.... as do gender disphorics. If you have a dick, no matter how "girly" you feel...even to the point of wanting to lop of your business....will make others see you that way - and so you have to manifest or accentuate affectations suitable to the gender role.
This isn't limited to trans, either. As a male with peen, you'd still have to "act like a man" to be taken -as- man...if you feel like a man and want to be one...
......and if you don't.....good luck to you.
Quote:Haha... it sort of has to do with what I'm studying. I'm a joint major between two faculties, Environment and Business, so there's a very clear distinction in my mind between the two factions and their beliefs. I'd suspect that is the origin of my phrasing. I've never specifically studied sociology, psychology, or ethics, so I don't think it would be accurate for me to apply this viewpoint to them.lol, environment and business but no ethics? Jesus christ...are you studying to be an oil baron?
Quote:I agree strongly with A, which is why B doesn't seem as pertinent.
Too bad you don't set the metrics of societal conformity and pressure, I guess?
Quote:I couldn't care less. But I don't think it should matter all that much if someone wants to be called a girl or treated like one.So you don't "otherwise agree" at all, you simply agree. Problem solved.
