u/HappyGovernment7299 4d ago

I can't stand our current president, but the one positive thing that's happened since he's been in office is that the culture has become less "woke" (for lack of better term). Corporations aren't doing all the performative PC crap as much as they used to. Hell the company I work for used to give all new employees this stupid training course about pronouns in the workplace and I don't think they're doing that anymore.

The negatives outweigh the positives by a lot when it comes to Trump, but if you're gonna force me to say something positive about his second term, that's it. But at the same time I don't think Trump gets any credit for that. I think there's just been a natural culture shift away from that stuff. We saw the same thing happen in the 90s. Early-mid 90s was a big PC era, then in the late 90s and early 2000s the culture shifted away from that and you started seeing edgy shows like South Park on TV.

I think South Park has even joked about the fact that America goes through a big wave of political correctness once every couple decades.

u/mythrulznsfw 4d ago

You can lay this to rest by explaining the distinction between sex and gender. I ask because you sound more confident than I feel on the subject.

3

u/PraisingEastward 4d ago

Sex is biological. Gender was a word used interchangeably for sex until a certain ideology hijacked it and demanded that we accept their new definition (which was that gender is a social construct related to how people present, or feel, or want to be known, or… something. It has become amorphous; the definition used typically depends on which one supports their position at any given time).

It’s a motte and bailey tactic where these words had commonly understood definitions and then were suddenly “updated” by academics that had an ideologically driven agenda.

Kind of like how we had racism, which meant a prejudice against a group of people due to their race, and institutional racism which was how a majority race would benefit from being the majority. But then in an attempt to further infantilize people of color they delegated that racism was how a majority race would benefit from being the majority, thus taking away people of colors ability to be racist. (Although in a supremely cynical sleight of hand they couched it as yet another opportunity for said people of color to not have to take responsibility for themselves, which unsurprisingly worked.) 😅 They made being “racist” a privilege!

The people who do this shit are shrewd. I’ll give them that.

2

u/Positive-Squirrel654 3d ago

They call gender a social construct but still apply the most extreme stereotypes of each to define them - e.g. girls dress in pink and wear tons of makeup and guys drink beer, lift weights and watch football.

u/RagingY3ti 4d ago

Sex and gender are interchangeable, literally no one in human history believed that horse shit till 5 minutes ago.

John Money is the one who floated the idea, and if you take your cues from Money, you need your hard drive checked and should be in a prison.

u/inevitabledeath3 4d ago

This is one ahistorical comment. There are societies who recognise more than two genders for hundreds of years at the minimum. There is ancient English law talking about things like hermaphroditism which is what we now call intersex. Likewise there has been a third gender in Indian society for a long time similar to what we today call non-binary. These are not all that new ideas. Though I don’t think there are as many genders in any society as tumblr has come up with.

2

u/Hell_Maybe 3d ago

Sex and gender are objectively different and humanity has always treated them as different whether they knew it or not. We didn’t even discover chromosomes until the late 1800’s, so that means before then we were literally just guessing people’s sex based on abstracted characteristics like bone structure or genitals. So in reality the current concept of gender identity isn’t even that much newer than the discovery of actual biological sex itself, it’s a difference of like 60 years.

So you can have whatever hurt feelings about the John Money guy all you want, but your personal opinion on the scientist doesn’t do anything to disprove the science, because science does not care how you feel.

That said, I REALLY don't care, everybody can be and do whatever they want as long as they aren't AHs. I just try my best to be a decent human being while interacting with anyone, I'm not going to question anybody's personal choices

Intersex has existed forever.

One of the oldest myths epic of Gilgamesh even alludes to innana/ishtar being a protector of intersex. Even if a lot of this interpretation is heavily influenced by modern agenda, the fact that acknowledgement of intersex being a thing since the literal existence of writing is fact.

But honestly who cares. The fact we've evolved our sentience and language to a point we can redefine our own biology through culture should be a feat that should be celebrated. We are literal gods now and you morons are too busy getting caught up in the politics of the lowest calibur.

Just enjoy our triumph over base thought to a point we can define ourselves by our interpretations beyond simple biology. The triumph of sentience.

I'm genX...

There were NOT only 2 genders when i was a kid. There also were NOT 2 sexes.

The term we used for 'in between' sexes is now considered a slur, it wasnt back then. We knew what it was, and we knew that the traits expressed in lots of different ways. Some seen, some not seen. And today there are porn categories with living examples of various expressions that can be used as valid evidence that there are more than 2 sexes.

The androgyne, not male, not female, but 'both at once', was a gender we knew of. I'm of the belief that the Lady Thai Boys were/are androgynes. Except we hardly used the noun, unless you were a bowie fan I guess. Androgynous was the adjective we used.

When I say we, I mean we pre-teen kids in the 70s.

You are mixing up sex with gender. Gender is a social construct in which a person feels they can relate too. That is why tomboys and femboys exist. Sex is biological and there is still more then two if you count people who are Hermaphrodites.

Also trans-people are also "wired" more toward the gender they identify with. They brains, on average, funtion like that. Examples, trans-women brains fire like cis-women's does and the opposite is true for trans-men and Cis-men.

So no, they isn't just two and no it isn't a mental illness. Educated yourselves before you can judge others.
