huxley:

Where is the gender “dark matter” of all this gender cosmology? Dark matter makes some sense in physics cosmology on the grand scale. To me the gender theory cosmology is cough, cough, bullsh*t. All about power. Lesbians hate it, women/females get scr*wed by twisted guys (mostly) with serious psychological issues.

Posting a link to a Bitchute video seems to get my post spam-binned.

An interesting discussion with Professor Ray Blanchard, a published expert in the field of Transsexuality before the field became hyper-politicized.

(Removed Link — could try googling “Bitchute Edward Dutton Ray Blanchard”)

TL;DR: It’s complicated, but encouraging pubescent kids to do irreversible stuff is just plain stupid and evil.

Ray,

The Left found that they couldn’t bend the term “sex” to do what they needed politically as it was too well established as referring to the two biological sexes. So they took a less well known term from linguistics, “gender”, which being less well established could be bent and twisted for their own purposes and then threw out the word “sex” and replaced it with the newly redefined “gender.”

And as said above “the issue is normalization, tolerance, or rejection” with the emphasis on “normalization,” forced acceptance, and celebration. The reason is to drive another nail in the coffin of the West and the hated middle class.

There is a narrow normal distribution of sex and sex-correlated gender. The transgender spectrum, including homosexuals, whether conceived, evolved, or progressed, are the outliers. The issue is normalization, tolerance, or rejection.

“Once upon a time gender was equivalent to biological sex.”
What time was that? Sex is a term from biology and refers to a classification of individuals as male or female based on chromosomes. Gender is a term from lingusistics and refers to a classification of noums as masculine, feminine or neuter based on the language. I used to live in Germany and in German nouns have gender. It has nothing to do with sex. As far as I could tell, it had no rhyme or reason. I was having gender confusion because some of the nouns would change gender depending on their use. I asked the language instructor how to keep track of these trandgendered nouns. She told me to forget about it, it even confuses the Germans, so I did. I have never suffered from gender confusion again. Can you tell me when gender became used for the word sex? As far as I can tell this was first used by Dr. Money who was advocating so called gender fluidity.

Sex: male and female. Sex-correlated gender, physical and mental (e.g. sexual orientation) attributes: masculine and feminine, respectively. The notable difference between trans/homosexuals, trans/bisexuals, trans/intergenders and trans/neogenders is that the latter suffer from a cognitive dissonance that evolves with an inability to reconcile between sex and gender. Trans/homosexuals are notably stable in that respect, in that the gender bias of each partner in a couplet does not progress and liberalize.

At some point it’s almost a meaningless distinction

Jimmy:

I don’t think so. I’ve known gays, mostly male, for whom having sex with a female would be as unattractive as it would be for straight guys to have sex with a male.

Women are more likely than men to be bi.

From what I gather there are males and females who feel hard-wired to be the opposite sex, but that doesn’t determine their sex partners.

The difficulty seems to be that there are a fair number of people who can be fluid on either scale or both, which muddies the discussion.

People are complicated.

On the hard-wired score, I’d boil it down:

Most straights and gays say they are hard-wired to their preferred sex partners.
Bis say they could go either way depending.
Some trans say they are hard-wired to identify as the opposite sex.
Some trans say they are gender-fluid.

My guess is that it has something to do with imprinting, like the baby geese who imprinted the Konrad Lorenz, as their mother, because he arranged things so he was the first moving object the goslings saw and he made a quacking sound.

At some point it’s almost a meaningless distinction. Once someone makes a decision, it be claimed as “hard wired.” It’s like asking if there is free will, or nature vs nurture, or calling something like obesity or alcoholism a “disease.” “Gee, Officer Krupke….”

I thought the usual claim from these activists is that some people are hardwired to be some gender that is at odds with their bodies or chromosomes. That seems similar to what gays claim about their orientation.

Jimmy:

It is a problem. Old-fashioned gays, let us call them, claimed they were hard-wired to be attracted to their same sex — not that they necessarily identified with the opposite sex.

There were cross-dressers, who felt themselves to be the opposite sex to some degree, but could be either straight, gay or bi. Most drag queens, for instance, are straight guys.

So the gender theoreticians came up with a new binary, cisgender vs transgender. Cisgender means one identifies with one’s biological sex. Transgender means one identifies with the opposite sex. (It may be more complicated now.) But that’s not necessarily linked to which sex they are attracted to.

They haven’t worked the bugs out of this new unified field theory of sex/gender. There are old-fashioned gays who identify with their biological sex and are not at all keen to have trans people intruding, e.g. lesbians who don’t want a guy in a wig and high heels showing up in their spaces, whatever he says about gender identity.
