People have started to believe that they can shape reality with their thoughts. A man thinks he is a woman and poof, as if by magic he is transformed. A little lipstick and a dress and he is entitled to female spaces - and if you dare to question his transformation - you are a hateful bigot. Didn't you sex is not binary, blah blah, there…
People have started to believe that they can shape reality with their thoughts. A man thinks he is a woman and poof, as if by magic he is transformed.

Then you have these "be kind", "make the world a better place for the weak and fragile" brigade (ie, men/boys who appropriate womanhood).

Gender (which was until recently used as a synonym for sex)if you are referring to play acting to social stereotypes of masculinity and femininity has nothing to do with the reality of biological sex. That’s the difference. How you dress, express yourself, should have no bearing on the reality of sex based differences. Male bodies don’t belong in female sports, prisons, rape shelters, etc. Additionally, it’s not society’s responsibility to affirm people’s individual beliefs about themselves, to validate what is patently not true.

Everything we do shapes reality with our thoughts. Gender is as much a social construct as money is.
