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.

When the gov gives out pills to make you stronger when in near death, lets you transform with blond spikey hair and turn into a ape then I'm gonna be all Trans

I'll call it Saiyan
 
Before I read this wall of text:

Is OP serious about it or the title is just bait and the text worth reading?

@netovsk Well if you want to comment on this blog, it's good to read the "wall of text" before you make some comment that can be answered by "read the wall of text"

Nah, that's not trans, we call that "ascending". Get it right, or you'll offend some of the Saiyans in this thread.

Lots of dodgy subjects here. I agreed with you at first. "Transsexual" does make more sense as a label, but really, that's nitpicking. After that you just kinda devolved into light transphobia.
 
@Seriel : You have a point, but I think mods should be able to decide wether a topic gets derailed.


I also disagree with the whole politics into gbatemp, I think when I joined GBATemp it was more oriented to software development, gaming site. But so far the staff has been very responsive about new content (such as politics), in regards to filtering out what's really useful. And I think they have been neutral.. But I still agree there.

Imo political stuff should stay in the political section, anywhere outside of it(except your blog, which should be free reign) should be purged. A blog, you should be free to blog about whatever you want, it's YOUR blog, as long as you're not trolling of course. :P

If you don't want politics, don't go to the politic section, simple as that. If someone is being political in their blog, don't read it.

Iuno, questioning anything that has to do with trans stuff seems to be "transphobia". That word is starting to lose meaning, like being called Hitler, Imo.

@Viri: a political stance , resembles a lot a religious stance. And those are banned in some forums. My point (if you read correctly the last paragraph), is that such content is always controversial. The source of "controversy" per se.

It's not a matter of entering a blog or going to a sub-forum labeled as politics.

@Mark McDonut Reddit is such a hugbox, have fun getting downboated and silenced because you don't have the right opinion

People are whining about being in the forums..... but it's in the blog section. They aren't for development(unless you want your's to be), they are for thoughts, not your Save editor. They are an online space, for a certain person, each person has one. you can put whatever you want in it, aslong as it's not rude, and has common sense.

So stop whining :V

@Mark McDonut Nobody is forcing you to read this blog. You're acting like those guys who flip their shit, when someone posts a thread about a question that was asked before.
 
yo mark i agree entirely with your point but the fact remains this is the blogs section, which even admits you can talk about whatevers on your mind

@Seriel that would be correct, yes. My opinion is the only correct one.

@Mark McDonut Do you even know where we are? A politics section got added. Plus this is the blogs section.
 
@VinLark I would hope you're joking when you say that, I put it in quotes for a reason
