Since /b/ is now actually /tttt/ I'm giving in
just to spite you faggots. Most of you suck at this shit and if you're going to make a trans thread you might as well put some fucking effort into the OP. I genuinely hope that the next trans thread (and you know that there will be more) has more brain cells than it has posts. Also I just really want someone to respond to me, I wasn't given enough attention as a child sorry. So please, take some time to read and/or tear apart my blog post.
Gender and sex are seperate concepts despite the material origins of the latter.Gender only materially exists insofar as the sexes can be assigned certain roles for their physiological ability in relationship to the needs of their society. A male is strong and hunts or does difficult labour, but most people don't hunt anymore and difficult labour is becoming obsolete.

If a large percentage men in given a society are absent or dead, the remaining women have to take up their roles, and vice-versa (within reason). There is plenty of evidence for this throughout human history, but I must repeat once again that such roles are slowly becoming subverted as such socially necessary physiological differences are being rendered obsolete by technological advancement.
In the far future, assuming that our mastery of biology allows us to alter our forms in novel ways, the same will happen to sex and even our to our definition of humanity. But let's put that aside for now.
The conflation of gender and sex confounds our method of dealing with trans identity politics.I refuse to refer to all trans people as transgender. Why? Simply put, there are some cases of trans people for whom sex reassignment surgery benefits them, and likewise there are some for whom it harms them. I will differentiate from these two categories by using the te
