Re: Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

While that's true, if anon is talking about what I think they are, I'm not sure the trend is necessarily fighting gender norms so much as reinforcing them in a different way. The statement "Susie likes to play with trucks instead of dolls, so she must be a boy" is still rooted in the assumption that there are hard and fast "girl" and "boy" things.

The positive side of this, of course, is that there's growing recognition among parents that their children might be trans. But I wish there wasn't still that rigid line between what's considered masculine and feminine.

I don't think many of the people involved are actually saying that though.

Re: Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

It's something I've seen a lot, but that's fair. I might just be encountering what's actually the approach of the minority.

Re: Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I assume that if someone is sticking their necks out to be violently abused that such statements are a shorthand to eff the ineffable so to speak. Because it's easier to explain breaking the superficial and easy (sometimes) taboos than to explain the cognitive dissonance or the feeling that we're faking a gender.

Re: Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

[a_potato]

I can understand that, but the people I've come across making the kind of statements that I find bothersome aren't those who are actually genderqueer or trans; they're cis people deciding that someone else must be genderqueer or trans regardless how that person actually identifies, which is a whole other ball of wax.
