    Gender as sex is what you are born in

    Gender as a role/identity is a social construct

    Leftists push for the first one, right wingers push for the 2nd

      Think you mixed those up, conservatives believe sex and gender are identical and don’t differentiate. Progressives believe gender is a social construct, but depending on who you talk to that means the path forward is twofold and not everyone really agrees on what form gender should take in the future.

        I’m not sure what conservatives you talk to but moderate right has trans people, enby, etc. then you go further and you have men where suits, women wear dresses. And further you get men work while women take care of the home

        When you go left of centre you get men have a Y and women don’t. Further you go the less it becomes identifiable, like you can have men without penises (by accident or surgery) and behaviours don’t matter (no matter how gem/masc someone is it doesn’t change anything because the stress the right put on it as part of self isn’t there)

        if you have a penis i won’t consider you a girl, that’s how it really works. you on the other hand can consider yourself whatever and whoever you want.

          Can’t believe you’re outing yourself as a Genital Inspector, looking into everyone’s pants when you meet them.

          I’m not LGBTQ, I’m just explaining how the two different philosophies fall into political discourse.
