"gender dysphoria isn't real!" dudes when i force them to wear dresses

@noinconsistency I don't think that what they would feel is gender dysphoria, but rather the fragility of their masculinity and insecurity over what other men will think of them.

@inquisitrix @noinconsistency Yeah it would be more like being treated as a woman in context that matter and then being forced by a logically to medically transition. That's why I say if gender identity isn't real, then a CIS person should have no problem transitioning with no dysphoria

@ShellTerminal @inquisitrix @noinconsistency Gender identity isn't real in the sense that gender roles are a social construct and not inherent. Things that are social constructs still matter to our brains but that is dependent on nurture and not nature, hence the "not real" tag. It matters, we feel it, but it's not inherent

@amsiseepy @ShellTerminal @noinconsistency Call it sex identity if you want to make up a bullshit definition of "gender identity" to reflect literally only the social aspect, but there absolutely is something innate in your brain telling you which sex your body is supposed to be, and distressing you when it's not.

@inquisitrix @ShellTerminal @noinconsistency Your body, yes. How you're treated/look, no. Gender roles and societal expectations of what a man and a woman is like and is supposed to be are entirely made up and there's nothing inherent about them. Humans have had different gender roles across history with different-

@amsiseepy @ShellTerminal @noinconsistency Yeah but they relate to the thing in your brain telling you which sex you're supposed to be. Then you grow up and develop and observe the people around you and internalise that you're supposed to have the same role as the people of the sex you're supposed to be.

@inquisitrix @amsiseepy @noinconsistency It's like how we are treated and look is rooted in biological essence 🤭 or is that too much biological essentialism "made up" for one day 😏
