#I absolutely believe and respect trans ppl I just think it’s a phenomena of the way culture is built

[swordplease]

why must wearing weird clothes and being fucky w ur hair and makeup and jewelry be any indication of gender weirdness why can it not simply just be part of the general human experience

#maybe.... #if I follow this path of logic much further I feel like it gets into weird terf territory which I don’t want it to at all I’ve just been #thinking a lot about gender presentation and gender roles and how like if there TRULT #like if there Truly was No gender presentation and no ascribed gender Roles. #would trans ppl exist? I think probably lgbtq would be such a different concept and experience #and I’m not saying that like... trans ppl shouldn’t exist or don’t exist or that it’s fake #I absolutely believe and respect trans ppl I just think it’s a phenomena of the way culture is built #and sometimes I wonder like #if there truly was no Concept of gender presentation what would it be like #or what would it be like if there was no concept of like... gender presentation or roles but there was still a sex binary #(even tho that is somewhat incorrect like) #would we always just.. be cis? bc there wouldn’t be any real difference between m/f besides physical sex #and is dysphoria always based upon physical sex characteristics bc it seems not #ppl id as trans who don’t experience dysphoria right? #so like #but like if there was zero tangible difference except for your reproductive organs #would gender have the same concept? #I think probably not #anyway this is not to say that like that Is how it Is Right Now or even that it Should Be like that #I think since we have historically had gender roles and presentations that the emergence of trans and gnc ppl makes it... #makes it at best ignorant and at worst just cruel to attempt to establish a binary world based on sex which is what many terfs seem to want #idk it’s interesting #bc to me I don’t understand how u can like. be gnc and change nothing about either your physical sex or your gender presentation #bc then what does that mean? #does it just mean u don’t feeel like u fit in trad f/m boxes? bc what if we just like. got rid of the boxes. I feel like maybe less ppl #would id as gnc? #but there’s a zillion layers to that also #anyway I’m rambling #and again like I do think trans ppl are real and valid and deserving of respect and being called by their pronouns etc I am not in #not here to shit on that just rambling and also I don’t rly want to Discuss this I was just dumping thoughts here
