Vladimir Putin slams 'monstrous' West for teaching children they can change their gender

Gender is fluid. X.

Gender is “fluid” (e.g., lacking in consistent definable characteristics) simply because it doesn’t exist. It is not real. You have no biological gender, only sex. The presumption that this imaginary biological feature is real is the farcical intellectual foundation that this entire argument rests up.

Men and women behave differently in a variety of ways. These are roughly correlated with biological sex. It seems likely they are partly due to sex and partly due to cultural factors (e.g. most males exhibit masculine behavior partly because they of their biology and partly because they are trying to live up to expectations of masculinity.

If this isn't gender, what would you call it?

BTW, another recent article about this issue.

The critics say that the decision to change genders is hard to reverse. "You're going to go socially to school as a girl, and you've made this commitment," said Dr. Marci Bowers, a transgender woman and surgeon who's performed thousands of sex reassignments but urges caution. "How do you back out of that?"

Yeah..I'm not a supporter of actually switching. As a kid, teen, adult I accepted that I was never going to be comfortable with the full male role because I never liked the idea of "male bonding."

i knew and know that I am different but I don't need to switch because my gender is mine and my identity is mine....as I tell people...I'm not a typical anything, I'm wired differently..I'm just me.

I wish that more of those with pronounced gender or even identity fluidity could have this confidence.

I'm willing to put myself out there.

You should correct that statement by saying that most of the lazy, mentally ill, and chronically underperforming people in the USA believe.....

Either that or back up your sources.

As the left embraces mental illness...

I can feel like a prissy scared female at the idea of using a public bathroom where there are multiple stalls.

And i can write poetry from both sides of love or loss through the eyes of both sexes.

It's more complex than one can think because you don't think about how to switch, you just naturally switch.

It's definitely not "play."

This is ridiculous. This isn’t “gender fluidity.” This is just being a normal person. Believing in this nonsense requires believing that being a “man” means being macho and manly at all times, and being a “woman” requires you to be sensitive and romantic at all times, and that any behavior that transgresses that divide makes you trans or fluid or whatever.

Believing in this “gender fluid” crap ironically requires an incredibly rigid view of sex and gender roles/norms. It’s a belief system that is fundamentally regressive, not progressive.

Right! By calling it gender fluid, it is creating a better culture of understanding toward acceptance.

We're all gender fluid...I alluded to that several posts ago.

Maybe gender fluid is normal

Well...that's seven...out of 300 million...

People who pedantically dissect and categorize their attractions and emotions are narcissist losers.

No. We just understand our feelings and have a solid vocabulary and knowledge of our thoughts to explain our feelings.

For me, my thoughts and feelings are interchangeable which is why when I am triggered, the thought train completely derails.

That was an innate quality for me...it's always been there.

No, you're just a big baby wuss. That's all. Face it. Grow up and stop your self-obsessing. You have way too much time on your hands (it shows) and you've been indoctrinated with inane, meaningless bull crap. Really, this country has become a cesspool of idiotic brain dead morons.

"Know Thyself" - -Socrates

I can't even get mad at your post lol

I know exactly who I am and what you're calling indoctrination is actually several components of a complex innate system that took many years and tears to understand.

But now that I know myself, I am wise just like the others who took the time for themselves.

Exactly what do you conjecture Socrates would say about you?

Lol. Good point.

People still don’t get there is a difference between gender and sex and are excited to share how they still don’t get it because they think it is a win for them as part of the culture war.

It is true They dislike or fear fellow Americans more than Putin in the culture war.

Typical arrogant liberal who thinks people who disagree with him are simply too stupid to understand whatever concept is being debated.

I understand the sex vs gender theory. It’s just a ludicrous theory. I find it lacking in legitimate intellectual substance and completely devoid of anything other than intense narcissism.

To be fair, judging from the replies here, hohomofo would be correct.
