But it is in a sense all of those things - you are born with a set of genitals that define your sex, as a result your gender identity is also defined at birth based on the social roles that the society you exist in prescribes. There's arguably a conversation to be had about the entire concept of gender abolition but that's a hypothetical that we aren't anywhere near, for the here and now we have genders and people define what that means for themselves
Not really? That depends on the culture one is growing up in. There's nothing inherently male or female about any clothes, they are defined as male or female based on the society and its gender ideals. At no point did I define things as strictly male or female, and happily enough the lines on what are considered gendered are blurring, the point remains that gender is socially constructed whereas sex isn't. You aren't male because you don't identify as male, someone who was assigned female at birth however could decide that they want to live their lives as a male and identify that way
Whatever = gender. Like, what else would it be? You are born with a sex - typically male or female - and then society in general decides what that means for you, girls wear dresses and boys don't, for example. That is essentially gender, the roles we play given the sex we have, but roles aren't ingrained - a girl isn't biologically predisposed to wear a dress, she may be biologically predisposed in general to lean towards a female gender identity that includes dresses, and she also might not, and then might also not be predisposed to lean towards that female gender identity at all and instead be transgender.
A quick and dirty tl;dr would be that sex is between your legs and gender is between your ears.
(Disclaimer: I am also a dumbass who isn't great at putting words down, doesn't know as much as they think they do, and also hasn't entirely woken up yet, somebody much more capable in one or more of these areas will likely explain it much better)
If femboys are in a space where sexualisation is the focus then by all means sexualise them, if they are just being their femboy selves then don't automatically treat them as sexual things, it doesn't seem like that should be a big ask for people 🤷♀️
It's distressing how easily people are willing to write off shocking levels of bigotry as just being "edgy" or "controversial" until it slaps them in the face, at least hopefully it has slapped people there soon enough to avert the worst of the problems. And hopefully the protests make Those People a bit less bold in their politics.
Spreading awareness is important but it's also important to be safe, it can be hard to do so if you're potentially being confronted with a crowd of fascists 😕
Oh yay, you'll have to let me know when you do and we can compare notes _
(I think I'm setup on Matrix, I've been stuck in traffic on the bus to work and had nothing else to do 😅 I should be luckingfurker:catgirl.cloud, if I understand it correctly (yes, I took a look at your (old?) profile to get an idea 🙂 I suppose really I could've just messaged you this on there instead, but I can be a silly goose sometimes))
Sometimes a guy just wants to smell pretty and sometimes a guy is really a girl, and there's no possible way to know which is true
