Gender predates white colonialism by such a wide margin lol
It's like you guys just say **** you think sounds woke for the sake of it Bottom line is if you divorce gender from any associated characteristics it loses its meaning by definition. Dysphoria would be similarly meaningless without this association. |

Why do we poop sitting on a toilet instead of over a toilet?

I don't want to create another evolutionary rabbit hole discussion but we don't see things the same. I think some attributes are more cultural than others. The more ubiquitous an attribute is across cultures the less it appears to strictly be arbitrarily learned behavior to me.
As for gender abolition... I think people intuitively categorize the world around them as pattern seeking creatures, and so long as there is a spectrum of attributes that people have, these categories will exist conceptually. So if you and many other people happen to have more masculine tendencies, that will manifest itself as a conceptual category regardless of whether you use the word "man" to describe it. If we all became uniformly androgynous then gender would actually be abolished by having no conceptual or useful meaning. I don't see that as a likely direction we're headed in. |

I agree with you in that humans will always categorize themselves and others, there's no switching that off, it's how our brain processes inormation, and so, even with the absence of language we will see groupings of similar behaviors or outward presentation. I wonder if these "identity" categories that have become such an important part of the Larger Conversation are simply just an overcorrection - exploring gender identity and sexuality has never been something valued in our society, so by asserting your identity and your alternative pronouns and knowing the definitions of all the new jargon and setting unreasonable expectations for everyone outside of your group to adhere to these new rules, you're taking back some of that power and reclaiming space and refusing to live the "DADT," "I don't mind it I just dont want to see it in public stop shoving it down our throats" lives that so many before have. It would be going backward to resign to letting the System remain in tact.
