Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
ive come to realize something about the way we think about ourselves. gender isnt a social construct. heres why:
it implies that if there was no society, there wouldnt be any gender but people who are isolated from society can still have a gender
if all it took to be a woman was to simply identify as a woman, a transmasc egg would be considered a woman
it kinda feeds into the gender = gender expression myth
people from ye olden days and from other cultures who have different words for being trans like hijra instead of enby wouldnt be that gender because its a different label
tying back to that first point, if you need society to have a gender, wouldnt that make it a choice?
i propose this: gender is a psychological connection to femmininity/masculinity/androgyny/etc. like zodiacs, youre stuck with it for life, but how it applies to you is different then how it applies to someone else with the same zodiac/gender. how you interpret it can be different. you can call a color teal or cyan or turquoise but that doesnt change what color it is. and even if youre really short, that doesnt stop you from wearing heels, like how being a man doesnt stop you from wearing a dress. to be a woman, you have a psychological connection to femininity. you can present masculine, but inside its still femme. same thing for feminine presenting men and feminine/masculine presenting enbies.
thanks for reading, have a great day :)
As part of her social media detox this girl on YouTube made herself do one hour of understimulating tasks every day and she just counted rice for 60 minutes straight because its no different from doomscrolling in terms of wasted time
Hope everybodys third month of 2025 was (is) okay...
