Look you’ll be unsurprised that I don’t agree. To me, you’re acting as if gender was a natural consequences of sex difference, but it was constructed and therefore done so deliberately for a social purpose, which you now deny (its like saying a gun wasn’t meant to be capable of injury to me). But in case I’m actually missing something, what aspects of gender have you noticed aren’t for some social occupation and aren’t meant to be universal?

At any rate I don’t think social constructs have inherent validity or can’t be changed, my point here is literally that gender doesn’t have any validity. But no I don’t think that gender specifically can be changed. It does have a fundamental structure as all construct do. If everyone wants to preform alchemy on gender I would rejoice. But the point of that is that it’s no longer gender.

That said yes anything presupposing that there is an personally inherent part of a social construct is indeed upholding the construct at its foundation. As long as that non-binary gender is presupposed at that same point, it isn’t opening, it’s merely shifting. Social constructs are always fluid enough to allow this without damaging its foundation. It’s happened throughout history without actually damaging the social structure that makes trans peoples ability to express themselves so painful. I also think you’re mistaking my point again. People asking to be respected on the gender they identify with should never be a problem. Saying that their practice of social prescription validates their identity as the gender that is predicated on those social prescriptions is a problem. Their gender is valid regardless of what connects them to the gender. That’s the only way to truly open it and that IS against the structure of gender itself.
