Gender is a kind of improvised performance, a form of theatricality that constitutes a sense of identity
You are presupposing that people only are motivated by social expectations and not by biochemistry.
It's prob a mix of both.
Hello, Judith.
it's absolutely both, and even maybe more biochem leaning. There's a reason in almost every independent civilization that men did one task more often, and women did other tasks more often.
Not to say either's tasks are more important, both are necessary for a functioning society
Gender is a retarded meme in all the cases where it doesn't just match biological sex.
>inb4 muh hermaphrodites, they constitute .0000005% of the population and all they prove is it's possible to be born with broken genitals or endocrine systems
tell me something I don't know
nobody wants your opinion here
>male and female are "opinions"
>literally get out of my hugbox
>REEE SEX IS SECOND TO FEEFEES
No fucking point in sexual identity without the sexes to procreate, bitch
That's what I don't get. Trannies destroy the functionality of their sex organs for the sake of merely looking like the opposite sex. It's such a horrible decision I'm not surprised at all by their increased suicide rate.
>We don't want your opinion
/pol/ or not, a more diverse multitude of opinions will only enhance debate and make it easier to get closer to historical fact
If you get triggered that easily I can only suggest you go (back?) to Reddit.
Reddit is to the left my friend
Yeah, like how male gorillas protect the females and children, it's all just theatricality that constitutes a sense of identity, and not biology.
Ahh yes, the "Gender is a Social Construct" argument as pushed by Dr. Money. Look him up and his work, then get back to me.
>nobody wants your opinion
Speak for yourself cuck, I do want his opinion. This board isn't a hugbox, go to your favorite subreddit if you want that.
It's DEFINITELY a mix of not only biochemistry and social expectations, but culture, experience, evolution, history, necessity to both social circles and environment (ex.: Tibetan culture), etc.
Now, HOW MUCH of a mix? Really wish I had an answer for you...

Why is it always only MtF trannies that get blasted for this shit while FtM trannies are either ignored or even praised for their idiocy?
Literally female privilige even in gender delusions.
It doesn't fucking matter if someone's opinion is wanted, this is 4chin, we don't have an upboat system so every opinion carries the same weight as every other opinion. For instance, I can point out that everyone ITT is a faggot and whether you "want" that opinion of mine or not hasn't saved you from having to see it. Also, go fuck yourself and the game.
Because femininity is degrading and men who choose to look and act like women are the equivalent to adult baby fetishists. Female to male on the other hand at least doesn't involve stepping down in social status.
Stepping down in social status or not, it's pretty cringeworthy when some fat dyke starts taking testosterone and roleplaying as a neckbeard manlet dudebro with tits.
Fucking French shits destroying philosophy for the latter half of the 20th century.

Lmao French is a kind of improvised performance, a form of theatricality that constitutes a sense of identity!
Because they are the minority, since many transsexuals are a product of watching anime and wanting to be an anime girl

Why do they always pick up these white trash names when they change their sex? Evan, Aiden, Jaiden, Gayden, Brayden, Mason, Peyton, Braelyn etc.
B-But I'm really bad at mathematics, it must be because I have a "female brain!"
People who are good at math tend to be victims of this idiocy more often than others although it's just my anecdotal observation. I noticed plenty of engie or programmer types who become trannies.

Can confirm. I'm a computer science student and every class I am swimming in a sea of qt traps.

Please, """"redpill"""" us on your Jewish conspiracy to oppress white people.
It's always some stupid shit like that. You never see them adopt a name like Mike, Pete, Adam, Tom, just these abominations.

Wouldn't this be a better conversation for than here?
What's the point of posting this thread if you're simply gonna banish people to /pol/ for stating their opinion. Maybe you should go to tumblr where your opinion will be more common?
Personally, I believe the concept of multiple genders other than male/female is stupid. Rather than getting angry over whether someone isn't using your preferred pronoun, maybe we should be concerned about issues such as the Syrian civil war, overpopulation, and lack of interest in history/literature?
>I noticed plenty of engie or programmer types who become trannies.
Ironically the over-representation of mtf programmers is specifically because men are much better suited to that sort of abstract discipline i.e. the exact opposite of their "female brain" bullshit is true.
Wait, shouldn't this be absolutely in line with desirable behavior in an ordered, hierarchical society? People willing accepting their natural place in lower parts of the social hierarchy?
Because I know what a constant, all encompassing struggle to the top looks like, and it's typical SJW neoliberalism.
There's basically two types of trannies:
>twink homosexuals, in their case taking it up the bunghole from men combined with effete mannerisms makes them think they really ARE women. Of average or below average intelligence
>straight fetishists, AKA people who are completely heterosexual and fetishize an opposite gender version of themselves. They tend to have extremely high intelligence
I reckon the programmers and the like tend to fall into the second group.
Also for further keks:
>Wait, shouldn't this be absolutely in line with desirable behavior in an ordered, hierarchical society? People willing accepting their natural place in lower parts of the social hierarchy?
No, that's stupid. In a healthy society men accomplish great works and shoulder some responsibility for supporting families. In a degenerate society men become trannies or adult baby fetishists. This isn't complicated.
Don't even have to read that article to know the answer to that question. You basically have to be autistic to be able to let the abstract concept of "gender" override the simple physical reality of your actual sex. Autists are able to let "logical" / abstract concepts win out over the common sense basics normal people don't question.
Yeah, and what about men incapable of of great works, and you know, women, that other half of the human population.
They shouldn't be willing to step down in social status, right?
There was a thread back in like last december which was like "what's your fetishes Veeky Forums?" and it revealed a disproportionate amount of Marxists / Anarchists / Communists were pedophiles, diaperfags, trannies, scat fetishists and other insane shit like that. Not even making this up, it's probably still archived somewhere.
>women
Their job is to support their husbands and raise healthy, strong families to contribute towards the promotion of their race and nation.
>men incapable of of great works
Should either figure out a way to become capable or else kill themselves desu.
>They shouldn't be willing to step down in social status, right?
I don't understand what you're asking.
Gender does not make you interesting. Cut it out.
Not that guy, but 99% of men don't achieve "great things". You basically advocate complete androcide if you say they should kts.
I believe it. Ted Kaczynski explained this all decades ago.

You have a shit definition of "great" and/or no self-respect.
Define great then. Raising a family and having a job isn't great, it's just something normal and expected. You're making it sound like every man is either a Napoleon or a loser who should kill himself.

great
/ɡrāt/
adjective
adjective: great; comparative adjective: greater; superlative adjective: greatest
1. of an extent, amount, or intensity considerably above the normal or average
2. of ability, quality, or eminence considerably above the normal or average.
>(You)
Even if we pretend that's the only acceptable definition there is for that word, that particular definition says nothing about which specific population "normal" or "average" is to apply to. Compared to all the living things that have ever been born and breathed air on this planet for example, extremely few will get to experience the privilege of being competent, sentient apex predator father / providers for a healthy and productive human family.
But raising a family is the NORM. Are you trying to imply that being a diaper wearing furfaggot is somehow the norm and men who raise families are somehow above the norm?

Nah, fuck off you cowardly leftist, greatness is all about the big picture. You're afraid to even take the concept of greatness seriously. You'd literally prefer it be some unattainable impossibility you can forget about so you can let yourself slowly die from terminal complacency. Congratulations.
>you cowardly leftist
You possibly can't be more wrong, I'm the furthest thing possible from a leftist. I'm just saying you're misusing words like a complete fucktard.
Nothing about greatness implies a limitation to the human species. Greatness is relative to scope, and there is such a thing as the scope of all living things. You're retarded if you don't think that particular scope matters. The world isn't MTV.

Sounds like any kind of human interaction, desu.
>21st century
Current year =/= current century. There's a difference between saying "it's 2016, come on people!" vs. saying it's the 21st century and you're still trying to be a monarchist.
No, there isn't. It's the exact same whig bullshit.
The former is a transparent agenda to get you to believe one side of an issue that's still totally in the air. The latter is an acknowledgment of the fact monarchism has been dead for a very long time now.
science says no
>Trannies destroy the functionality of their sex organs for the sake of merely looking like the opposite sex. It's such a horrible decision I'm not surprised at all by their increased suicide rate.
The increased suicide rate is a function of merely being a transgender person (that is, the state of being someone whose personal gender identify is not congruent with their physical sex), the suicide rate is simply higher for trans people due to anxiety and depression associated with this, as well as the social problems it causes, and transition helps to alleviate those issues and thus trans people who have transitioned have a lower suicide rate than those who have not. (although still not as low as the general population, as transition isn't perfect as there are some problems it can't solve).
No, they are both notions that history follows a linear curve and that certain ideologies become "obsolete" because muh progress.
>a linear curve
Linear means not curved.
>certain ideologies become "obsolete"
That is trivially true. You're claiming you don't believe anything ever becomes obsolete?
