    So a woman claiming to be a man wouldn't piss you off, because you can relate to a human being?

    ^ well not in the same way anyway. a man can claim to be a man; an inanimate object can't claim to be anything so if anything is claiming to be an inanimate object they are proving themselves wrong in the process.

    Apparently you don't know many people who smoke Salvia Divinorum.

    I scored 50% male 50% female. I still don't feel this survey is enough to prove gender is fluid and not inate based on it being less than 12 simple questions. Every individual thinks differently, that's what makes us all unique.

    I'm an airplane and if that doesn't suit you you can take a parachute and just get out.

    It goes against their perception of normal.

    Thanks for clearing that up :p (glad I didn't blatantly assume it was deleted by a mod ;)) The post disappears then? Never knew that.

    I never leave an empty post sitting around, or a double post. They're just useless clutter.

    I find this comment so interesting because it's just an opinion. There certainly are no scientific facts that support this comment. Gender is a social construct without a doubt.
    Each of us only understands our own gender and most of us aren't interested in how others feel about their own gender.

    So scientifically proven diffences in estrogen and testosterone levels between males and females are all a social construct? The same gender roles that exist in the animal kingdom, are those also constructed by society? Is the ability to breastfeed the young, and the proven differences in muscle mass a social construct too?

    You haven't provided sources that back up your scientific claims, because none exist.

    And have you? Why don't you look around to see what information is available before you make a statement like "because none exist"? Where's your expertise? What is meant by the term "a social construct" is that the terminology for male and female are made up by society only to prove their individual concept, often relating to gender equality. Have a look at articles on the internet or in medical journals. Men and women both have testosterone but possibly in different levels. We assume that testosterone is a male hormone, but males can change testosterone into estrogen under certain conditions. With terms such as both gender and sex, there is more than just male and female.

    What's your gender, and your preferred pronoun?

    This doesn't make any sense to me the only "gender construct" I can make sense of is the genetic construction of who you are.

    If you were born with a penis, you're a boy.

    That's actually made so much sense the shit is scary. :unsure:
