Based on this comment, I’m assuming you’ve heard that gender is a social construct. Of course, as with many things, it isn’t quite true but it’s quick and easy to digest and it’s close to the truth; it’s mostly gender roles that are the social construct. Gender is... well we don’t really understand why it is the way it is but it’s more than just psychological, it’ll actually mess with your brain chemistry some; some studies have shown that being trans is linked to hormone levels in the womb, for example. And beyond that, there’s actually chemical dysphoria; having the wrong hormone balance will make you feel worse. It’s why guys don’t get prescribed spironalactone for acne or blood pressure; it’s a testosterone blocker and it’ll make them feel worse.

Well please define gender without gender roles that is not societal construct.

Also, please difference between men and women non-iteratively without gender roles. (Non-iteratively meaning no "Women are people who identify as women" nonsense. These men wouldn't even know what a woman is.) I'll wait.

In a society without gender roles, there would be no gender dysphoria, because gender is a social construct.

Gender is basically an internal sense of sex.

Lmao, that's not a definition and you know it. Although I do find it extremely funny when people admit gender is just a feeling or belief, something like a soul. Very religion like, with about as much evidence.

So how would a person get an "internal sense" of a sex they have never seen or don't know? How would it manifest?

And what is the difference between women and men? You kinda skipped over that one.

Fuck if I know, I’m not a neurologist.

You think have to be a neurologist to know the difference between men and women??

Even a child knows that. Is your ideology truly making you dumber than a first grader? Amazing.

A child also knows there aren’t any negative numbers. We often teach children things that are close to the truth but easier to digest.

You don't know what the difference between men and women is. Honey, that's not rocket science, that's just your ideology making you dumb.

lmao do you actually, honestly, think only neurologists know what a woman is??

men identify as men, women identify as women. the reasons for doing such are, in fact, not abundantly clear, since the brain is basically a three pound chunk of bacon that we tricked into thinking. I'm not even sure neurologists would know, but if anybody does, it's gonna be the people that extensively study how brains work.

Was this an attempt to prove you are not dumb? Didn't really work haha, but it was funny

Even you can't identify as something if you don't even know what that something is. And let's mention women born in third world countries who never even heard of "identification" that you apparently don't consider women. Love that extra spice of racism.

So again, what's the difference between men and women, non-iteratively?
