>all this trans hate
I really don't think trans people are sick at all. But there is a thing though. Gender is not in your biological sex, but neither it is in your mind, it is into our social life and so it doesn't depend solely on the person. When a man feels like he is a woman, even if that feeling is totally 100% genuine and I believe it is, he can only feel so from his perspective as a man. He will dress in a certain way, act in a certain way and may even pass as a woman, but he is, nevertheless, the construction that a person who was once a man has about what being a woman is like. And if he passes as a woman, he is reinforcing that. I really don't mind if people would just dress as they please and do as they please and fuck as they please. Men in heels and dresses, full make up, do it, just do it. And what's wrong about being a man in all that, and to have a high voice, take hormones, build a vagina for yourself even, but to admit you are nevertheless a man that goes through it. No harm. When women are uncomfortable that trans women get into their bathroom, that's totally understandable. Or when women are trying to, I don't know, cut their hair short and wear so called men's clothing and then a trans woman appears in heels and heavy make up and say she is more of a woman for dressing like that, isn't it something of a mockery? I think so called trans women deserve respect for how they dress like, act like, I think they can be capable and good people, I know they suffer discrimination and shit, but I see them as men who dress in a certain way and act in a certain way. Their gender didn't change, because they have a history of being seen as a man for, at least, a certain period in their lives and therefore they enjoy the same privileges that cis men do, even if it is the privilege to choose their own gender. You don't get to choose how others see you, neither you don't have a voice on it, it is a conversation, it takes two parts.

Feminine and masculine are just spooks, imaginary, whatever you call it, there is no reality to being feminine or masculine. Some time ago women who wore pants were masculine as fuck in comparisson, now it's alright. And it really is. You could be considered a faggot in some places for not having a beard. In some places men kiss on the cheek, in others you cannot touch another man without having gone too close. These things could change back and forth and beyond and they are relative to a given culture, a given society in a given time. It's something so obvious and it's something that people like you, along with a lot of trans people don't get. You'd both agree that wearing a dress make a man feminine, you just hate it and they love it. I think it doesn't make them feminine at all.

If they are intrinsic truths, there wouldn't be examples of the contrary and if there are examples of the contrary, there is no reason to deny them. It cannot be a symptom of decay if nothing is decaying for it. In the same way that you can't say it hurts them evolutionarily if we cannot observe that it has hurt them evolutionarily. You see, by that very logic, if it were a failure of some sorts, it wouldn't be winning so much. Otherwise, if it does hurt them evolutionarily, then there is nothing for you to worry about, because it won't go far anyway.

One of the most important differences is actually how testosterone interacts with stress and leadership. That said men are getting progressively less masculine thanks to xenoestrogens and women are getting more masculine due to environmental factors so gender disparities actually are slowly disappearing.

Gender is not a natural kind. I challenge anyone to dispute this. Gender has become qualia, it is now an aspect of self. This is a result of political and social forces, it does not reflect reality.

To see this, ask yourself what the definition of a certain gender is? For example what is a pansexul? The politically correct answer is "someone who is attracted to all genders". Notice how pansexuality is defined in terms of other genders? Well this is also the case for all other genders. For any given gender, it's meaning depends upon other genders and nothing else. As this holds in all cases, gender itself is defined in a circular fashion.

Male and female, however are natural kinds. Sexual preference is also grounded in reality. A man who wants to be a woman and is attracted to men is a homosexual man, not a mtf or what have you.
