I’m not a cis man but a “c!s m4n”

Maybe you should remove the space to be compatible with places that don’t allow them in genders and could even swap letters to make dictionary attacks harder. c!ms4n.

Relevant and accurate. I’m none of these things.

Well, there is a statistical association between being born with a penis and being physically strong, although obviously it doesn’t apply to everyone. The power tool things is just a total invention of society though.

yeah comparing that to astrology is a bit much. i get it, you can’t know for sure what gender a person is going to be, but it’s still likely to coincide with their sex, mostly through societal factors anyway.

That’s not a comparison, it’s an equation. A comparison identifies a difference. An equation asserts similarity.

Which is why I don’t understand people who need to change themselves physically to conform to society’s expectations.

They have been told all their lives “you are expected to behave this way! The way you want to behave is only acceptable for them!” It’s not really that surprising.
If we could purge the sexist tropes from society that would probably do wonders for gender dysphoria.

My peen make it easier for me to build muscle mass! Which I don’t take advantage of so instead I am just hairy everywhere except the part of my head that would look fashionable with hair. Can I just trade those things for being good at power tools instead?

Right, much like how astrologists will tell you there’s an association between being born under [astrological sign] and having [personality trait]. It doesn’t apply to everyone

i think everyone should enjoy power tools, both penised and non-penised individuals.

When you think about it, a sewing machine is a power tool of sorts.

All identity is a societal invention. That’s the purpose of identity, it’s for other people’s perspectives and what they think. It’s irrelevant otherwise, because what else needs to identify your gender? A dog? A stone? The clouds? And why gender of all things?

I’m a man. Apart from the basics, like a penis, I couldn’t really tell you what “feeling like a man” actually is. Everything beyond the biological category is just made up stereotypes and don’t serve any actual purpose. But for some people, they live by societal stereotypes, so if they don’t like them, they will change their identity to fit into new ones. It’s not at all necessary, but that’s the power of worrying how others see you and why identities exist.

But at the end of the day, we’re all just brains animating a corpse. So go wear a dress! They’re comfy! More “men” should; they’re missing out.

There’s ~8% correlation between astrological sign and personality.

So, you’re non-binary? Just like Trump?

I prefer a gender-phrase, a complex sequence of words that’s easier to remember and more secure than a single gender-word.

For example, contrast “female” with “do all the guys you know wear dresses and makeup like this?”
