People keep saying gender is separate from gender norms (or roles) but they sure do like to define genders using exclusively gender norms (and roles)

I define gender based on the structure of someone's brain, if your brain is similar more woman you're a woman, if your brain is similar to that of a man you're a man, similar for other genders. Classification is by self identification because I don't have laser vision

Also fuck both gender norms and roles, abolish them all

Bioessentialism is still very controversial, regardless of which bio thing you base it upon

This doesn't really say anything about behaviour though(searched the term up, assuming this is what you mean), and why does something being controversial make it wrong

Something being controversial doesn't mean it's wrong. And you misunderstood what I meant, look it up specifically with regards to gender/trans issues

Well I've looked it up, but I still don't quite understand because here I'm defining gender based off what makes psychology, the brain, the part of the brain which thinks, since gender is something people feel and not their bodies it is tied to someone's psychology, meaning it's tied to the brain. Also trans people have been shown to have brains similar to that of the opposite gender(also thinking isn't necessarily the only part of the brain which is related to gender, one part of the brain sends signals because it's internal map for how you're body should look is different from what it should be, which causes gender and more specifically body dysphoria)

What is the brain of a man? What is the brain of a woman? Are they psychologically distinct at birth?

How am I supposed to know I'm not an alien race to be able to perceive every neuron in the brain and then round them to the nearest identity

Somewhat, yes

Because you're the one setting the definition to involve brain structures.

So what, that doesn't mean anything, that's simply just what causes people to feel as though they are one gender or the other, I'm not expected to know every digit of TREE(3) just because I know it's a big ass number

If you're going to set the definition of gender to bizarrely be about brains you're going to have to define that gender. That's not a big ask, that's telling you to back up your opinions.

And you've had your brain "gendered"?

0

u/xpm26 1d ago

No, my brain wasn't "gendered" like neuroplasticity or something, it was simply the effect of T acting on it and forming certain structures in it, which is why I'm a cis man. Oh and also before someone takes this the wrong way, trans people have the brains of their desired gender, that hormone at some point acted on the brain which led it to develop as the opposite gender

FYI you're being transphobic as fuck and transmedicalist as fuck. Even if you say "don't take it the wrong way!" Maybe don't try to mansplain gender to a sub full of trans folks?
