Gender Norms, Postmodernism and How We Identify and MeToo

Who decides what reality is when it comes to things outside of science? Remember, gender identity is not the same as actual sexual identity.

Male and female. Science.

What does that even mean? Men and women decide reality?

I’m a bird.

You may very well believe that and as long as you stay away from my car after I’ve washed it we will be ok.

That’s not what I mean.
You seem to believe there is an inherent difference up above in the dating/marriage question.

If a swedish couple adopt a black baby and raise it in Sweden, just as if it were their biological child, science can tell you the child is not Swedish but the child might feel swedish and identify as swedish for reasons beyond citizenship. Such as cultural. But because the child doesn’t look swedish, it’s up to others to decide what he is?

What I’m saying is that people get to choose how they identify themselves in other areas, so why not gender?

Zecarlo. You’ve already given away that you agree with me that there are crucial difference. You just won’t admit it in polite company.

That’s why I use the pronouns based upon male/female

Admitting differences is not saying you should be mean to people. You also avoided the question again.

I don’t think I want your opinion on the one drop rule.

I didn’t answer the question because we both agree about the reality of it. Because the debate is now only about being ‘mean.’ And I feel it is mean to expect me to pretend those differences we both agree exist, don’t. Those are MY feelings.

Darn it, I was about to bring that up too!

To be clear, a yes, so long as the friction is sufficient to stimulate climax?

If that’s what you think that means. Go hug your wife.

He’s talking about sexual organs and how they feel. I mean, intercourse is the subject in this case.

But whose feelings matter more, because you have to make a choice. You can hurt someone else or hurt yourself. How much does it really hurt you though? Will you go home and cry? Will you feel like you are less of a person? Will you contemplate suicide? Calling someone by their choice of pronoun is simply acknowledging they have a belief, it isn’t sharing it or betraying your own.

And you wouldn’t date men dressed as women, per the above. Ok, my replies to you would be the same.as to Z. Thank you.
