@Yimpa, I'm happy for you. Keeping secrets of such things has saved my life, although it comes with a cost.

@Yimpa, keeping secrets is important.

There's awareness that others are part of the household. Although my example is limited, for the reason you gave and also because, in reality, family members can't or don't accept each other completely for different reasons.

@Yimpa, having long hair isn't considered something that a man should have where I'm from. A lot of men are disgusted or get nervous by that. Few of them wanted to harass me. My clothing style isn't typical in my culture. People think I'm either Russian or European. Lol. Gender isn't even a thing where I'm from! If they accept it, they would have to admit that a lot of the things about "sexes" are social constructions, which is the very thing that they are afraid of.

Isn't it interesting that in our houses no one has a problem going to the same bathroom?

Gender isn't only biological. The culture defines gender. Male or female as a gender identity is as biological as other gender identities.

By Claude AI. Sex (Biological Facts): Physical characteristics: chromosomes, hormones, anatomy Measurable through medical tests Exists on a spectrum (not just binary) due to natural variations Gender (Social Reality): Society's expectations and roles Changes across cultures and time periods Includes clothing, behavior, social norms Varies significantly worldwide Gender Identity (Personal Reality): Internal sense of self Shows up early in life (around ages 3-5) Backed by brain studies Can't be changed through external pressure Independent of body or social roles Key Scientific Points: Biology plays a role (genes, hormones, brain structure) Environment has influence (culture, society) Neither completely determines the other All three aspects can align or differ Each person's experience is valid and real Primary Dependencies: Sex → Gender Identity Some biological influence shown through: Brain structure studies Hormone effects during development Twin studies showing genetic components BUT cannot fully predict gender identity Gender → Sex Minimal to no influence Social ideas don't change biological characteristics Cultural views don't affect chromosomes or basic anatomy Gender Identity → Gender Strong influence Shapes how people relate to social roles Often leads to challenging or rejecting cultural norms Can drive social change over time Gender → Gender Identity Limited influence Social pressure rarely changes core identity Historical attempts to force change have failed Cultural expectations don't determine internal sense of self Most Supported by Evidence: Sex has some influence on gender identity (but doesn't determine it) Gender identity strongly influences how people relate to gender roles Social gender constructs have least influence on both sex and core identity Key Point: While these systems interact, research shows gender identity is remarkably stable against external pressure, suggesting it's more fundamental than social gender constructs but not entirely determined by biological sex.

@Princess Arabia, I don't agree with him.

He was saying that only two genders exist, and the other ones are mental illnesses. Also, intersex is not a gender.

It's ironic that the people who don't want other genders to exist don't recognize what they are clinging to is mostly socially constructed compaired to gender identities. 😏

Claude AI. Biology has a great influence on our gender identity, based on what science has observed: Shows up early in childhood Brain development patterns exist Hormones play a role Genetic factors seen in twin studies Can't be changed by social pressure Not a conscious choice Similar patterns across different cultures Think of it like handedness - while environment might have some effect, there's clearly a strong biological component to whether someone's naturally right or left-handed. But we should note: Exact mechanisms aren't fully understood Environment plays some role Research is still ongoing Individual experiences vary The evidence points to biology having a significant influence on how we internally experience our gender identity, even though we're still learning exactly how this works. And this makes gender identity more fundamental because: Comes from biology/brain development Internal sense of self Not chosen or learned Can't be changed Exists regardless of society While gender (social categories) is: Created by societies Can change over time Varies between cultures Based on social needs Can be reformed/redefined It's like: Gender identity is the internal reality (like having brown eyes) Gender categories are how society tries to organize these realities (like how we label eye colors) This explains why: People can have gender identities that don't match social categories Different cultures create different gender systems Gender categories often change to better reflect identities You can change gender systems but not gender identities So yes, gender identity is more fundamental - it's part of who we are, while gender is how society tries to categorize and organize those identities.

In which countries are you looking to draw that conclusion?

New genders are constructed for or by people who have a gender identity that isn't limited to the recognized or established genders.

I didn't say they are or are not. I said there aren't only two genders.

No. 😭

I didn't say that they are the same. 😢

Gender, not gender identity! Also, they are constructed.

You're not trying to understand because you think there're only two genders. That's the problem.

I'm monstrously guilty. 🥲

That is not relevant for this case. Then, man and women should go to the same restroom.

You keep jumping from biological differences to gender saying they don't need but then proving that they need. No. They already view them like that. Those people create the problem in the first place, which having a new restroom can be the solution.

Are you treating women as not human? Also, did you get what I said "no" to?

Again, biological differences isn't the problem.
