Transgender doesn't make sense

Can't people stop being Transgender?​

People say that sex and gender are two different things. And say gender is a social construct. So for someone to call themselves transgender, instead of transexual, doesn't that mean the transgender person can change their gender at will, to whatever gender they want since its a social construct. So my question is, why do they say they can't change who they are because they were born that way? Which goes against their own belief that gender is a social construct. And why does genderfluid exist as an option? Isn't it redundant since it's implied that gender is a construct that can be changed.

And doesn't the definition of Transgender say that they were born one sex but feel like the other gender. So the term "transgender" according to them isn't something you are born with, and isn't innate, its opposite of the way you were raised from birth, and there isn't something biologically there to make them feel like the other gender.

So how do they come to feel like the other gender? Did they just one day decided to choose to feel like a different gender just because? Did they do it too make themselves feel special? Just like teenagers that call themselves otherkin, wolfkin or dragonkin? And since gender is a social construct, it's something thats made up like all social constructs are. So why should we take something that's made up seriously? And is there some psychological depression going on that they want to make themselves feel unique and different? Maybe because they aren't being noticed? So they do it for attention?

Unless gender and sex are the same thing, and gender isn't a social construct, which means they can't change themselves. So my other question is, with all these 100+ genders, how can a doctor determine at birth whether or not a person is a Androgyne or a Demiboy? Is there any scientific facts a doctor can lean on to determine which one. And how does one transition from androgyne to a demiboy? Where they born with demiboy body parts but feel like a androgyne? Is there hormones they can take to transition to demiboy? If there is hardly scientific facts that demiboy exists, why should we take all these genders seriously?

There are people going through tribunal courts in Canada for misgendering people, since its now a crime punishable by law. In New York its punishable by law if you misgender someone, because you don't believe that all these genders (that have not much scientific backing) exists. And they want to incorporate this all around the U.S. So if we are going to change society, and punish people, with full backing of the law, then they are going to have to explain to us what this Gender business is all about. And prove they exist.

@Kigiru See that's what I don't get with some people.
Nobody is telling anyone they can't call themselves whatever they want. There is no "oppression" there. The problem arises when said people want to change how everyone (by that I mean, most of the society still) else think to match their vision of gender, then complain because not everyone wants to or is ready for it. If the oppression comes from there, then I simply don't agree with the definition of oppression.
Your last sentence should be all that matters. Trying to stay respectful.

Also, I'm gonna say this since some people cannot seem to grasp this concept: You do not have the high ground just because you want to push societal change. You're not automatically on the "right" side and others aren't automatically on the "wrong side" (the opposite is also true). This is an ongoing discussion, we're discussing word definitions. Is gender associated to sex or not?. I'm sorry but that very question is STILL UP TO DEBATE in society. If it wasn't, and if everyone agreed with it, then we wouldn't be having this conversation at all.
In this context, "unwilling to learn" would be rather "unwilling to adopt my views". And here lies the problem, you're being political but are trying to hide that behind some form of moral that should be "common sense".

You're trying to change the world for what you believe is for the best, great. But don't talk down to people, don't call them names, CONVINCE them that your approach is for the best.
Otherwise you can brag about "inclusiveness" all you want, but you're simply excluding whoever isn't politically on the same page with you.


Note that I don't actually take sides. I genuinely like identifying myself to my fursona (meh furries lulz) but I don't think I should EVER be allowed to force it down people's throats, and people should be allowed to tell me I live in my little silly furry fantasy world.
