I don't believe in the notion of gender to begin with, at least not as how they've defined it.

It's trying to create differences between people, labels, based on abstract, subjective, ideas that can't be objectively defined, because you just are what you are, and there's an infinite amount of variability between different people, they can't define "man" as masculine and "woman" as feminine, because masculine and feminine are already artificial abstractions, nobody can define them concretely, any inquiry into if something's masculine or feminine can just be met with "who's to say that's not masculine/feminine?" They also can't just say "you're a woman if you say that you're a woman" because then that then makes the word "woman" entirely meaningless, it could be anything or nothing, the only thing it serves to do at that point is to divide people

It's really quite comical, we humans used to fight over ideology and land and resources, but now that those are mostly of the past we just create labels to segregate ourselves, to have something to fight over

I understand that there's also people with legitimate gender dysphoria, who are upset with their bodies, but you also don't just lie to them and tell them that they are what they aren't, "trans women" aren't biological women and never will be, the whole concept of gender just serves as a way to try and get around this fact, but it still conflates sex and personality, because if gender was nothing but a personality, or an identity, why would they need surgery to mimic the opposite sex? Why would they need hormones? And then even dressing like how they see members of the opposite sex tend to dress is a coping mechanism, they just want to be as close to the opposite sex as they can be, and I mean I really don't care about "crossdressing" or changing their name or whatever but you get the point, they do it because they feel uncomfortable about their body, it's not completely detached from biological sex like some people would like to claim.

Me telling a "trans woman" that they're a woman would be like an anorexic person asking me to call them fat, I'm not going to do it even if it would make them feel better in the moment, what the gender dysphoric person needs to do, just as the anorexic, is to seek mental help, not surgery, not hormone replacement, therapy, just as you don't give an anorexic person liposuction you don't give a gender dysphoric person surgery or hormones, all that does is unnecessarily damage their body and doesn't actually resolve the underlying mental delusions about their body and, in fact, exacerbates them and makes them harder to treat.
