If you told me that 90% of comments on the default subs are chatbots who learned to talk after reading youtube comments, I honestly wouldn't be surprised. I mean, is that any less surprising than the fact that a thousand people are having a bitchfight over an issue that "affects" like .01% of the population?
It doesn't really effect only queer people or trans people tho. Everyone has a gender and so if shared notions of gender shift then everyone's gender shifts -- or more accurately what it means to have a gender in the first place shifts.
Like for example if you conceive of gender as primarily a kind of social performance or social role, and not a biological imperative, it doesn't just mean that trans and queer peoples gender's are a performance, it means that everyone's gender is a performance.
I can't recall the specifics of the argument, but I learned in my cultural marxist studies class at university that one of the main thrusts behind what they called queer theory was to show how gender as a whole was "queer" -- or perhaps rather that the distinction between queer and non-queer genders was a bit of a false dichotomy. So it makes sense that that sort of thinking would be controversial, since it's a premise about cis genders as much as it is about non-cis genders.
It affects quite a lot of people. Once it become accepted dogma you have to submit in employment, that means changing facilities , accommodation, training, recruitment , you have to pretend to be OK with it to even have certain jobs or foster /adopt
Do you think in the future there will be shirts which say "there are more than 37 genders" and shitlords in the comments will argue about how the shirt is wrong and that there are really only 37 genders? And then even further into the future there will be shirts which say "there are more than 174 genders" but people in the comments will argue that only a deluded blue haired special snowflake could possibly believe in more than 174 genders?
And finally way off into the distant future there will be 856 recognized genders but no one will be able to keep track of them and the requisite 856 pronouns since it's just too many, and so to simplify things everyone will decide that its better to have only two genders (and maybe to be nice they will stipulate a catch-all "other" or "androgynous" category for everyone else).
And then one day somebody's gonna make a shirt that says "there are more than two genders."
It's almost like there is a word that describes individual characteristics shaped my social factors and the fact that having a personality is so foreign to these people they have to over-compensate through visual means.
I love how people still don't understand the difference between sex and gender. Sex is being a male, gender is being a man. Not every male is a man, because the definition of manhood is defined by society. Being economically self-sufficient is one of the things it takes to be considered a man for example.
Males can be men. Males can be boys too. They also can be 'not real men', you know the shit you see plastered all over social media about how real men does this and that? That is what i am talking about. You don't get accepted as a man by default because you are born with a dick, you have to perform the duties society gives to the man. You have to have a wife and a kid and a steady income and pay taxes and a whole lot of other shit to be a man.

Damn /u/binxly I had no idea trans people don't have rights. DAE we should start letting them vote?
n/a Senator_Chickpea 2017-02-14
Only if it counts slightly less than a man's vote, but more than a woman's.
I suggest a new 3/5 compromise.

Try walking around West Hollywood as a non passable transsexual versus someone wearing a MAGA hat and see who has more rights.
