Classic gaslighting. People from western privilege have developed a habit of "fighting" for a "just cause" when all they're doing is being arrogant and talking down to others.
I am a coloured chap. I have sex with women and men. In my culture we have men who dress like women and live like women, whilst others do the same but more of a "drag" thing.
We also have hermaphrodites, gays and lesbians.
It is not an issue for anyone as long as what is done is done in the privacy of one's personal life and not pushed onto another. People accept it and there's those who don't. All are allowed to do as they wish as long as they're not impeding on someone else's life.
What people like YOU in the west do is dictate how others should and should not feel. If they ever say something you don't agree with, you come down on them with such unbridled hatred that its no wonder the nazi movement started amongst your kind (in the west).
Do YOU realise the point I was making or did it go over your head? Obviously gay people and trans people are different, but their message could not be more diametrically opposed - one says they were born gay and the whole basis of who they are is that nature doesn't make mistakes. The others chirp the opposite.
If gender is a societal construct then explain this - what makes a man and a woman? what is the difference netween being male, female, man and woman?
Socially one can get breast implants and gouge their penis out and make it a vagina, but what about their biological chromosomes. I a biological born woman transitions to become a man, when menopause hits them and they need therapy for bone density, hot flashes and other things, will they be denied this treatment because they're men?
Think about it. Don't rage about it. You people in the west don't think, just whinge a lot. Too much.
I had seven strokes, three seizures, twenty-six facepalms, eight headdesks and a partridge in a species-wide existential despair tree reading this.
The first 3/4 of this consists of exaggeration, generalization and possibly-deliberate misuse of terms. I don't know what you think gaslighting means, but I'm fairly certain it doesn't mean "lying about your cause or justification"- and even if it does, that is
ALSO not what is happening here.
As for the classic "don't push it onto others", not only is "this is just who I am and these are the pronouns I go by" not even remotely close to that, but even if it was, such an argument goes both ways by default- any time someone deliberately misgenders a trans person, they're pushing their transphobic views onto them. Any time someone touts their LGBTQ+phobic views as fact when they clearly are not, distorts the actual facts at hand for the sake of bigotry and personal opinion, et cetera, they are pushing their bigoted views on whoever they're trying to convince.
Not all people of a certain group, regardless of the group (whether biological, neurological or ideological), have the same justification for the group's existence or their being in it- if they even have or need a justification. Claiming that, especially nowadays, all or even most gay people use a "God made me this way" excuse (or even any excuse at all, because
they shouldn't have to provide one by now just to EXIST), or that all or most trans people use a "God made a mistake" excuse (and once again, one they fundamentally should not need to provide just in order to not be discriminated against) is an extreme generalization and demonstrably false.
In regards to gender... have you read the past couple of pages? Gender itself is not a social construct, and the phrase stating it is is one that desperately needs abandoning, as others have stated. Gender
expression, on the other hand, is absolutely a social construct- it varies heavily from culture to culture, throughout history, et cetera. Assuming someone else's biological sex and/or gender identity based solely on their clothing (a sadly recurring counter-"argument" throughout this thread) is a completely baseless assumption, and the consequences of that guess being incorrect lie entirely on the person making said assumption.
And finally, the cherry on top: a complete lack of understanding as to what biological sex and chromosomes are and mean. No, it's not all black and white. No, it's not all black and white with a thin veneer of "socially justified surgery" (or whatever the deep-fried fuck you're trying to call it, six of the seven strokes I mentioned earlier occurred while reading that paragraph). That shit's
complicated, and the SRY gene isn't going to 100% reliably behave a certain way according to the whims of the uneducated.
Note: In order to avoid the dreaded "fallacy fallacy", I must contractually state that this does not directly mean the things you are trying to prove are automatically false. They flat-out objectively are, and they're even morally reprehensible at every level as a nice fringe benefit, but that's a topic for another time that will hopefully be never because you and the others spouting similar arguments will hopefully
learn from this discussion and become better, more accepting people.
