I got nervous the other day because I was reading this thing in class, and it was the point of view of a girl… So I started to read it in a girls, voice, and I quickly stopped and apologized. 1 1 Link to comment
RedDenver Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 4 hours ago, teachercd said: Shouldn't someone that is a girl by birth but feels like they are a boy, not only be referred to as male in all walks of life but also have people like you believe them? This really sums up people that don't understand the difference between sex and gender. In your example, that person is not saying or asking that the fact they were born as a female is untrue. It's instead about how they want to act in life and be treated. And they aren't asking you to believe anything at all. Link to comment

Stop oppressing people and just accept them for who/what they want to be. And they are 100% asking everyone to believe it, as they should and as decent people we should accept that and believe it and accept them. If someone that was a girl at birth decided they were really a guy, I would not only believe them but I would only refer to them as male. 1 1 Link to comment

No, they aren't. And no one has to accept or believe what is untrue. You're either trolling or you don't know the difference between a social construct (gender) and a biological fact (sex). For example, anyone can wear a dress regardless of their biological sex. But one gender has predominantly worn dresses and the other has not. 1 1 1 Link to comment

teachercd Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Sorry, @RedDenver I messed up. I see what you are saying now. You are saying that people CAN change their gender/race/age and so on...but that YOU don't have to believe that they are now something different. While I disagree with that, I do respect your opinion. 1 1 Link to comment

I am almost 100% certain that you ALSO agree that people should have the right to choose things about their life and that we should do our very best to accept that about them and even believe in what they say and feel. 1 Link to comment

Your continued obsession with trying to make gender the same as sex/race/age is getting sad. Either that or you're trolling, which is against the board rules. 1 2 Link to comment

And it is odd that you just quote SOME of my post. But, I that is okay. 1 1 Link to comment
