I could make a longer thread of my own on this, been thinking how everything is backwards from what I was brought up with.

[b]In the old school feminism of the 1970s, I thought the whole point was that it didn't matter whether you were male and female, you were a person first, an individual, not a member of some assigned group.[/b]

Now all of a sudden the thing that matters most is whether you are or aren't male or female?

Also I have been aware for some time, that women have had more freedom to dress the way they want to.  A hundred or so years ago wearing bifurcated garments wasn't an everyday option for most women in the Western world.  Now a woman can dress like a man and really, no one thinks anything of it, either it's not even noticed or maybe it's amusing.

So is a lot of this about clothing, and personal expression through dress?  If a guy wants to wear a skirt or dress, does that mean he should be treated as a woman?  Why?  A woman wearing pants is still a woman.  It doesn't change her to wear the clothing that used to be considered men's clothing.

It's just so bizarre that this stuff is such a big deal.  I thought we went through a whole sexual revolution to make it NO BIG DEAL one way or the other.  I thought people were people first, before it mattered about their sex.

Snowflakes don't know this, nor would they care.

xx  xy

no amount of dressing or pretending will change that
to each his own, but ffs, I'm not carrying around a cheat sheet so I don't "offend" the gender flavor of the day.

Bigger question, WHY has this been pushed so freakin hard the last 12-16 months?

Original Message Individuals living in New York City can choose from a minimum of 31 different gender identities, many of which allow them to fluctuate between some version or combination of male or female identities.

Businesses that don’t respect and accommodate an individual’s chosen gender identity risk incurring six-figure fines under rules implemented by the city’s Commission on Human Rights.

The list of protected gender identities is available online and includes options such as “gender bender,” “two spirit,” “third sex,” “androgynous,” “gender gifted,” and “pangender.” A city official speaking on background confirmed to The Daily Caller that all of the listed identities are protected by the city’s anti-discrimination laws, but said that the list was not exhaustive.

...

Someone who identifies as “genderqueer,” for example, is a “person whose gender identity is neither man nor woman, is between or beyond genders, or is some combination of genders.”

A “gender bender” is someone “who bends, changes, mixes, or combines society’s gender conventions by expressing elements of masculinity and femininity together.”

Similarly, someone who is “gender fluid” is a person “whose gender identification and presentation shifts, whether within or outside of societal, gender-based expectations.”

If someone self-identifies as “androgynous,” it means they are “appearing and/or identifying as neither man nor woman, presenting a gender either mixed or neutral.”
