208138, Whatever someone wants to identify as.....

Out of respect, I'll refer to them as that, even if I don't necessarily subscribe to it.


I was trying to grasp an understanding of this comparison on Twitter and from what I heard, some transgenders and transgender allies are saying that genetics(chromosomes) determine your biological sex (male or female) while gender is a societal construct that is "learned". So you can be biologically male or female, but can choose to identify with whatever gender you feel closest to because these are taught and learned behaviors.

Idk, some mind fuck shit that I don't have the time or patience for.
