Statement critique: ".. sex and gender are bullshit social constructs ..." and " Intersectionalism is pure political bullshit "
Sex is not a social construct because it is a biological fact, and is not something that is/can be defined differently depending upon abject social criteria.
Gender on the other hand is a social construct as we as a society developed and assigned social, and biological attributes to ideologies of gendered characteristics and roles. An example of this is how most cultures globally recognise multiple gender identities, which attribute the same characteristics to different gendered identities.
Intersectionalism, is simply a way of identifying the compounding impact of multiple social forces on an individual or group, for the purpose of decreeing a more holistic understanding said impact. Maybe if you took a more intersectional view of intersectionality you would be in a better position to analyse its relevance in these types of discussions
NB, if your talking about @Cdkcdk92 I wholeheartedly agree with your statement about his " remarkable set of abs, an oversized and uncut dick "[/QUOTE
Gender is also a biological fact.
There's a few of us older queers who remember when things were hard for us. We remember that the rhetorical tactics used now against trans folks are the same tactics used sgainst trans people. We remember our calls that 'love is love!', and how 'respectable' queers snubbed us, sniffed at us, turned us away for being 'too loud' or 'too in people's faces'. We remember that it was BEING loud and GETTING in peoples faces that got us recognition as humans. Got us a government that finally addressed HIV/AIDS. It wasn't the queers content with hiding, or those who clung to old modes of existence who got us progress, it was young, loud, 'rude' queers. It was trans women of color. It was people who looked at the world and said, 'this can be better, and better is worth fighting for.'This thread has become young gays/queers educating older (white) gays. Transphobia is not welcome in our generation. Respect and acceptance is attractive. Times up older gays !!
