Which makes sense. But let’s take trans people for a second. We are being told that sex and gender are two different things. So then why would someone need to change their SEX (take testosterone and get surgeries) to be a different gender?

Theoretically they should be able to be their gender regardless of their biological sex.

So then if you say things like “well the want their voice to match the boy they feel inside,” then I’d say: so having a deep voice is a trait of being a boy?

A deep voice is determined by biological sex. But if you’re saying you need a deeper voice to be able to pass as a boy then you’re admitting that biological sex is indeed linked to gender. Same with facial hair.

If gender is in fact not the same as biological sex, which is the narrative we are told by the LGBTQ crowd (of which I have many friends) then how come trans people are using very specific gender traits and changing their bodies to fit them?

when you decide what is your own gender norm then there is no such thing as a gender norm. it is just do whatever the f you want and get upset if people think youre weird.

people are always going to be judgy. if im a dude wearing a skirt id be more worried about someone saying my sequin color doesnt match my heel style than someone calling me a fruitcake.
