From what it looks like, there seems to be a new concept: A dude thinks he is a girl. And that concept needs a word. Well maybe it isnt even new. There probably were always cases where the brain and body develops differently, however rare that case is (1 in 1000000?). But now there seems to exist an idea, that literally every person can be whatever it want if you let it grow up differently (@experts in the gender field: pls correct me if im wrong in my understanding). From how i see it: Yea sure, a kid will grow up differently if you grow him up differently. There are personality disorders which can be induced by wrong parental methods. Im not saying that someone with a mismatch in gender and sex has a personality disorder, but to me it looks like a heavy identity crisis. Being gay was called a sexual orientation, but considering the concept of gender there is literally no orientation at all. And will that kid, which gets into such an identity crisis, ever be happy (or kill himself at the age of 30)? And since certain languages have only one single word for sex (which gets redefined to include the concept of gender), the kid cant even know which sex he is.



This trend is liked by younger academics in my country. Academics around 27yrs and younger like that concept for whatever reason and argue that such concepts decrease the wage gap between woman and man. Yes, i know how that sounds, but thats reality now.

Remember there's only 2 genders

Is this for real? Why is it so expensive to look inside the own pants? On a sidenote: 16 payed holidays sounds freakin low

16 paid holidays means public holidays like Christmas, Kwanzaa, etc and really has no business being in a job posting but it is what it is

it's 16 statutory holidays + 4 weeks paid time off + however many sick days you can conscionably use

All these gender theories and shit ideologies from usa (ofc who else), just makes me think we're living in a giant mental asylum

This is part of why we are seeing new pronouns pop up. I don’t think there is a harm to a few, but some people go crazy. In the past, gender and sex were pretty much always in alignment. If somebody was something, it was gay, bi, lesbian, asexual, etc. now people want to change their perceived societal role and strangers preconceptions by adding new genders. Imo its just a lot. But things go as they do.

As it has been said prior, gender is synonymous for sex for most English speaking rational adults/communities world-wide. No point worsening the mentally ill's fantasy by enabling it and spreading it throughout our whole society. It was cute when we were inclusive using they/them for the gender spectrum LARPers. Now we have people identifying as Cats, Dogs, *+, ... where does the mental health and LGBTQ+ community draw the line?
