    Gender’s an overloaded term. Are you talking about the internal feeling, the way someone’s treated by others, the shared sense of a variable that differentiates people, social institutions, ideas, or something else?

    Those of course are all related very strongly, but they’re not the same thing. Different models of gender will define of differently, but that’s usually just to best fit the area they’re applicable to. If a philosopher tells you gender is a social construct, that’s because they’re analyzing things through the lens of social construction. Very useful, but merely one perspective.













  • I entered the late egg phase about 3 years ago, had my “holy shit I’m trans” moment 1.5 years ago, came out 1 year ago, changed pronouns with people I know a few months after that, and started HRT (after the classic “am I trans enough to take HRT?”) 8 months ago.

    Early transition I was wondering if this was a mistake, because I didn’t feel happy presenting as a woman, but that was just dysphoria. Now I feel that a lot less and I’m just happy and woman, but I can still get dragged into boymode by dysphoria. I’m closer to the woman I daydreamt of than I ever thought possible and I’m still becoming more like her every day.
