'gender binary' is Reality...
It's a physical reality, yes, but should it have be more than that?
I personally think that if expectations weren't so strongly thrown at people for what constitutes a man or a woman, there'd be less people feeling a need to surgically switch their presented gender to feel comfortable with themselves. The presence of a penis or vagina would become more trivial with time.
FFS. There are 'mental health sites with26 fking genders to choose from based on 'how you choose to identify'....LOL....and Australia has been badly infected with this garbage...I was surprised to see that.
Yeah, that shit's weird to me too to be honest.
On one hand, it helps for streamlining, but on the other it further emphasizes the importance of gender instead of valuing being yourself despite it.
Being yourself has interesting ramifications when you are start including the mentally ill/ Personality disordered....so...there needs to exist a line in the sand somewhere....or we are going to have more otherkin bursting out of the internet and into legislation and Social Justice Warturds squacking at "microaggressions' and telling me how I am to 'feel' about their bullshit.....which is not going to work...lol...at. all.
There'd be less fighting if there was less weight put onto the importance of it. What makes things like Otherkin harmful is the levels of escapism present, their denial of being human. We are human, we are our gender, but we don't have to be a gender uniform list of traits as a result of that. If there was less to run away from, we'd have less crazy expressions of escapism.
Also the blatant idiocy of Feminism, needs a clean up...
That depends strongly on which "Feminism" you're meaning: Equalism versus Femnazi.
Gender as a whole really just needs to stop being taken as if it's such a big deal.
As for your mention of "mental illness", much of it is culturally designated. Homosexuality was once a DSM entry for instance, and what's deemed a disorder in some places is either absent or accepted in others. In many a layman's terms, quirks stop being seen as disorders once it stops causing disorder.
