Gender is essential in today's political context. You can't understand contemporary politics without it. Science does not matter in a conversation about politics.
SEX is essential to today’s and history’s politics. Gender is a cultural expression of how sexual oppression has played out depending on the region and people. Clothing and makeup do not a female make. To believe so is wildly regressive and misogynistic.
Do I understand you to say that sex is essential to politics while gender is irrelevant? I can not agree with this, and it's not hard to find examples as to why.
Gender is only relevant bc of its basis on sex. E.g., a male wears a shirt w flowers in the US and is called feminine. In other countries flowers have no feminine connotation and very “masculine” men wear them flowers the time. That is gender. Sex is basis for all of it, oppression of female bodies
I cannot disagree more. You perpetuate your own oppression by insisting on the myth of immutable binary biological sex, which is the real social construct, here. That's so last century, along with the patriarchy.
We are all entitled to our own gender expression. And to respect that of others.
Idk if you just never took a science class but biology by definition is not a construct. It is a scientific fact. Everything you are describing is individual personality. Go express and wear whatever you wish! That doesn’t magically change you into a woman.
