Re: What socially progressive ideas of today do you think will become abhorrent to future generation
(Anonymous) 2015-12-05 02:55 am (UTC)(link)Thank you! I honestly don't forget why this is so hard for some peope. Sitting in an anthropology class 15 years ago, we went through a lot of different examples of the variations in genetic sex, physical sex, gender identity, and cultural expectations of gender and how they can occur in different combinations, each characteristic functioning with various degrees of independence. We learned how cultural expectations of gender (and things like marriage, sexual orientation, and family) vary dramatically around the world. I came out of there understanding that gender identity was innate, but separate from both biological sex and culture and that a person's gender ultimately should be determined by ASKING rather than by body or behavior or what society says they are and that the answer need not be strictly limited to either male or female. The professor never actually said that, but it was the lesson I learned when presented with the data. There are a lot of different possible combinations here and the categories all have wiggly edges (even the biological ones). I don't get why people are so scared of this. Gender being real doesn't mean you are locked-in to only two options or that you must conform to what others tell you your gender means. It doesn't mean you have to be able to give a clear answer when asked. It doesn't mean it can't change over the course of your life.
