A contradiction in the liberal view of gender
#40
RE: A contradiction in the liberal view of gender
-and Statement A implicitly claims that our gender roles are not strictly logical. That gender a doesn't actually follow from possessing peen, and gender b doesn't actually follow from a lack thereof. That they are meaningfully -arbitrary-.

I'm not offering this as a judgement of you, merely trying to help you understand that you, too, have ideas regarding gender.  I do as well, we all do, even when those ideas don;t jive with what we know, intellectually.  Such is the compelling nature of social programming. So, too, do trans people.....and whichever gender they identify as or wish to have been - I have an ethical compulsion to accept. Statement B.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
