Your thoughts on gender

the established norms for my sex

 

In other words, fuck the standards. I'll do what I want.

Seems i grew up much too sheltered from the "established societal norms".   Nuclear family was all-female (granny, mother, sister;  by death / divorce / birth), with accordingly somewhat more female social interaction than male.   I think my mother would be called as a "tomboy" (hate that word),  and i fully took after her.  "Gender"  has never really registered on my radar as an issue, other than i was really baffled by 'girly' pursuits as a kid, they seemed stupid to me.  

In anonym online environment, i'm mistaken for a man 9 out of 10 times average, just by the content / syntax.  (I feel somewhat flattered by that, as offline it could never happen - and i still quite a bit despise the stereotypical female psyché. The bovine kind  which manifests in voting behaviour & such.)

So how did i happen to grew up regarding 'societal norms' as inferior to my own standards - something called 'analytic thinking' instilled from a very young age, i think.   'Society' is only the sum of its individual elements, after all.

Your thoughts on gender

Cricket stated: source post

I don't view gender as binary, but more fluid. It seems somewhat unreasonable to expect an individual to conform to another individual or societal standard for behavior based exclusively on genitalia, which is exactly what we tend to do.

I don't identify or follow the established norms for my sex at all and do believe that gender differences are very exaggerated. There are some general neurological and physiological differences between men and women but differences between individuals within those gender classifications are fairly great as well. Many gender differences in behavior are the result of societal expectations which vary greatly between cultures.

In other words, fuck the standards. I'll do what I want.

Perhaps the 'standard' exists as a ploy. Reverse psychological type manipulation to encourage disputing the standard. It's human nature to defy the standards time and time again. Just look at the Berlin wall, the french revolution, modernism, civil rights movements. It's fair to assume any system or standard most likely will be rebelled against at some point, and if you are aware of that how easy it would be to manipulate millions of people. Most likely isn't that complicated but, just indulge in my paranoid hypothetical ramblings will you.

Do you see gender as a binary thing?If so, how do you feel about each gender overall?

I see gender as how people identify themselves. None of my business.

Do you tend to get along with one over the other?

As long as I dont want to fuck you, dont expect me to care about your gender. I get along with you or I dont.

Which parent were/are you closer to?

My dad, if I have to choose one of them. But I wouldnt say I'm feeling close to either of them.

How closely do you identify with the established norms for your sex? Do you think gender differences, even if often exaggerated, do have a biological basis, or do you believe they are 100% a social construct/illusion? Or, do you believe they exist but are now naturally less pronounced because we live in a world where technology compensates for physical limits?

Can we define "the established norms for your sex" ? Also, what exactly has your sex to do with your gender? Not too much, as they are not necessarily the same.

interesting, as this is an incredibly narcissistic stance to take.

And you still believe that "narcissism"  is a thing??  

 

(Well it is an obscure clinical condition affecting an infinitesimally small percentage of the population.   Not to be mistaken with the popular buzzword "narcissism".)

Privately, i support all cases in need of genuine support. 

But my support ends when they turn a needy case into an entitlement. 

That's  why none of my gay friends / acquaintances would come out of the closet publicly.  It's not the supposed & mythical "homophobia" they abhorr,  but being associated with the alphabet-soup loony crowd.

Which "needed" surgery nearly always ends in suicide.  Statistical medical fact.

"I would say we are reaching a point where gender fluidity is almost problematic...again, because of societal expectation."

There's never going to be a stability reached and maintained, or a balance that doesn't get tipped.

You totally fail to discuss what you think is a male vs female attribute, just hinting at a few things.

I think this is a drunk post.

Like I said, you guys pretty much covered that and I didn't have much to add to what was already said. Should I elaborate?
