A contradiction in the liberal view of gender
#41
RE: A contradiction in the liberal view of gender
How I basically understand it is that gender is defined by what someone identifies as, basically how they feel.

Transgender people therefore don't believe they have the wrong gender, they believe they're in the wrong biological body.

A separate issue from that seems to be gender roles.
Extreme "liberals" think it's all imposed by a patriarchal society, logical people think that people with different biological realities have different tendencies in relation to their behaviour, along with peer pressure and things like that in society.

I'm still stuck on where the contradiction is though.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
