Also unpractical in prison, unpractical when we need to identify people for certain types of jobs to do etc. Let me rephrase it then, transgenderism is as valid as me identifying as a tree.

Its practicality is a debatable matter I would say. It seems unpractical in sports. It seems unpractical in sensitive areas like nude beach and toilets, unpractical in prison, unpractical when we need to identify people for certain types of jobs to do etc.

And if I was not attached to my identity, would that automatically mean my logic in previous comments was right?

Because identity is a fabrication, we can identify as anything. I can identify as a moon if I want to and it will be correct. Other people can also identify me whichever way they like. Why? Because it's all made up. Now the question is. Because identity serves a practical purpose in society. We have to draw a boundary somewhere of what is practical and what is not. Me identifying as a tree is technically possible by the same logic that a guy can say to be a woman. But if I start asking that a government give me the same rights that trees have, it will become ridiculous. See?

If it's true, then damn was she good at playing two different people at once. But candle had a crush on sugarcoat. Idk... You can't fake this stuff up lol. Unless she's a genius.

Let's be less snarky and more clear pls.

So if I were to put a tree costume. That would change my appearance. Would that mean I have become a tree?

I still can't believe they were the same person. They had a very distinct opinions on subjects and idk... I'm just in disbelief.

To add to what I wrote earlier, if identity is an important distinction for social context, then on what basis should be determine our identity? On the basis of race? Nationality? Gender. Okay cool. I agree that those are important distinction for social context. But what is a transgender? Makes makes somebody a transgenderer?

Not sure what you were trying to say here.

But does the change in appearance count as a change in identity?

Yea but where do you draw the line? What's stopping you from identifying as a banana with that logic?

Seriously? @Leo Gura @Sincerity

That identity is a made up thing. It's a fabrication. It's not existencial. Your existencial identity is just "I am" which is neither male or female.

@Something Funny you seem to praise his success in transitioning on the basis of his appearance. But if we understand that appearance doesn't dictate the gender, then what did he actually achieve?

Alex O'Connor. I'm surprised he's only 25 years old.

@Something Funny Well what's your strongest argument for transgenderism? In this post you tried to give validity to transgenderism because his appearance is so like of a woman. So is appearance what determines person's gender? That itself is a very weak argument. Idk if you want me to dismantle it or is it obvious to you already. Do you have a better argument to support transgender philosophy?

Okay I take that back. But I leave this statement: "transgenderism would crumble under philosophical questioning."

Okay let me hear your reasoning then

You say that out of spite but I was serious.

I can relate to this feeling. I do it the same way. It feels like art.

Transgenderism is a scam is what I was saying. Its validity crumbles under questioning.

Been watching Bible debates recently. It's kinda entertaining sometimes.

I don't think these two are the same person. What is this drama lol.

My passion is related to spirituality and conciousness work. I see myself becoming an energy-spirit type healer of some sort, I'm not quite there yet to make a living out of it but I'm still young. 27yo. Things are unfolding very nicely tho in that direction. I feel like it should be natural for everyone. It's not something one has to invent, it should be in your DNA itself. Sometimes traveling gives an opportunity for people to discover their deepest longings when they're no longer constantly distracted by survival drama.
