One thing I always wonder when I hear people say that gender is a societal construct is what does that make trans people? Delusional?

Obviously, since I'm not trans, I cannot speak for trans people, and I'm sure some DO feel "trapped in the wrong body" but here's what Janet Mock has to say about it-- and I've heard a similar viewpoint from other trans people I've known: Quote:

and if one assumes that gender identification is not as simple as binary wouldn't the whole gender spectrum be a social construct as well?

I don't really give a **** about people's gender identities, but it's like, you can't just choose your identity then force everybody around you to respect that. You can call yourself non gender fluid all you want but you can't force others to have that perspective. I can wish all I want that people didn't think I'm an ******* but if I'm being an ******* then I got to expect people to see me as the ******* I am. If you have a vagina you have to expect people to see you as female and vice versa. I'm very accepting, I hate using the word tolerant because it sounds condescending, of a lot of this but you cant force people to identify you as something you physically are not. What does it mean to mentally be female? I have had other people identify me as black and I feel like a relate to their culture more than my own but I'd never honestly consider myself black. Because I'm not.

My friend Dale once told me that I am a dick, but I'm a nice dick. And he's gay so that's a hell of a compliment.
