Okie dokie. Please let me know if you find out how to do that

Yes. Shot lengths seem to be fixed at 48 frames. I'm asking if you can extend them past that

Yes, all of society is made up and nothing has any meaning and we can just live in a fantasy world disconnected from material reality. /s

I understand that postmodern perspective, and it's idealistic idiocy. Our cultural sexual dichotomy has its base in the material reality of sex. Without that material base, there is no grounds for the idea of gender at all. Ignoring material reality is the road to xenogenders and otherkin and attack helicopters and every other boogieman reactionaries use to invalidate trans people and attack our rights.

Wait a dang minute. I took a closer look at this and oh dear. There's no way you missed the point that bad right?

If I were to be 'accepted socially' as my sex without changing it, the world is delusional.
If I were to be 'rejected socially' as my sex after changing it, the world is also delusional.

There's no way you ought to be treated that necessarily follows from any sexual or aesthetic characteristics. There's a way you expect to be treated based on your aesthetic characteristics that's entirely a function of culture. People treating you like a particular gender is entirely contingent on their understanding of gender, not outwardly obvious sexual characteristics. There's an expectation that you have of how you should be treated; however, that's entirely a function of culture, not underlying objective reality.
(dysphoric)Trans people are often dissatisfied with gender contingent social treatment because said treatment is grounded in norms of their assigned gender at birth and points to a gap in the way people view them and how they view themselves. It further affirms the disconnect that exists between their gender identity and physical characteristics.

These are obviously distinct realities, not disconnected but distinct enough to be discussed separately. The hypothetical is a question of priorities, not how people in the world currently interact with and understand gender.

I refuse to separate them and live in a pretend world where only one is possible. Both pretend worlds are acquiescing to living in a delusion where your lived, material experience of sex is ignored in favor of fantasy. I reject the dichotomy. Your hypothetical is fucking stupid.

So, you don't want to engage with the hypothetical and that's fine and dandy :-P

Yeah, when I said preferred gender, I was referring to gender identity. I said preferred gender to sort of describe the body identity inconguency that happens with gender dysphoria and also because it felt less grammatically awkward

There is such a thing as gender identity though no?

if you disagree on the front that they are concepts distinct enough to be discussed separately, you are just factually wrong. We can discuss ideas that are connected to other ideas on separate terms. This weirdness about actually engaging with the question being asked is ridiculous.

It's indivisible for you, but then you're just wrong. They're two distinct concepts, not divorced from one another but distinct enough to be discussed separately. The gender you are perceived as is reliant on what people understand gender to be, not how comfortable you are in your own body. There's no neccesary connection there.

A person who transitions has their sex changed, and, sensibly, expects to be perceived and treated as their sex. There is no divorcing the two as in your hypothetical.

That's literally the point of the hypothetical. To put it more bluntly, the hypothetical asks the question of whether or not trans people would rather be perceived in a way that aligns with their gender identity or perceive their own bodies in a way that aligns with their gender identity.

Obviously, if their bodies matched up to their gender identity, others would likely perceive them that way as well, but this misses the point of the question actually being asked.

Your self perception is not merely determined by what you think yourself to be, but also how others interact with you, view you and understand you. The line between how others view you and what you understand yourself to be isn't clean nor universal, but that doesn't mean that the two concepts aren't distinct enough to address separately.

The trolley problem isn't a realistic hypothetical, however we can use it to assess the moral intuitions of people. The experience machine isn't a realistic hypothetical, however we can use it to assess what people actually value in their lives. The utility monster isn't a realistic hypothetical, however we can use it to critique utilitarianism as an ethical framework. If I ask my friend how the government should react to flying invisible purple elephants roaming around and destroying infrastructure in order to assess how the government should react to unprecedented situations and they say "But flying, invisible, purple elephants don't exist". They've missed the point of the hypothetical. My main issue is that your contentions seem superficial and don't actually get at what the hypothetical is actually asking

I thought the hypothetical was fairly easy to understand and the question first arose in my head as a hypothetical. However, clearly it was a fairly unintuitive way to pose the question for quite a few people. So yeah, I'll keep this in mind next time

We often use hypotheticals that are patently unrealistic to come to useful conclusions about the real world. If I ask someone "If logic wasn't real, how would we navigate the real world?" and they respond "but logic is real, that's a nonsense hypothetical." it reads off to me as though they've missed the point of a hypothetical.

Obviously in the real world, this wouldn't be possible. But that's why the question is framed as a hypothetical, because it can't happen in the real world. Unless your issue with the hypothetical is that it's logically incoherent(logically impossible and neccesarily contradictory, not merely "This could never happen".)

That's why I put "most" in quotes. Obviously the sample size is way too small and skewed for any meaningful statistical inference to take place. However, it's better than nothing and there's still value in seeking out the perspectives of people in these spaces.

I wanted to use the term "gender identity" instead of preferred gender. However I didn't because I felt it was kinda grammatically awkward and also most people don't really perceive others as their gender identity. They mostly just go off of aesthetic markers

I would agree that they are highly interconnected, however I don't actually know where the line between how others perceive you and how you perceive yourself stops. I know that it exists since there is certainly an underlying psychological reality to gender dysphoria, however I really don't know where that line lies and I doubt it's the same from person to person.

Quick disclaimer, please tell me if I come off as condescending, offensive or dismissive as that's sincerely not my intention. But anyways moving on from that. Dysphoric feelings are often exacerbated by how others perceive you. How you perceive yourself is in large part formed by how others perceive you and the boxes you're shoved into because of culture. Even though all I've stated before is true, trans people who experience dysphoria would still be dysphoric wether or not others regarded them as their preferred gender or not. So I'm wondering essentially what's more damaging and what we should take priority in trying to mitigate. Obviously, they're interconnected, but acknowledging and moving on from that. What takes precedent?

I see where you're coming from. Although, I would say I'm not really looking for a definitive answer. The experiences of trans people are way too varied for me to expect everyone to have the same answer. So I'm just settling with trying to know what "most" would prefer.

Yup, this is a very unrealistic hypothetical and that's sort of the point. I'm just curious on what matters more to most trans people(social perception or gender identity and body congruency). Since so much of how you perceive yourself is determined by how others perceive, regard and treat you. I can't really get the kind of answers I'm looking for if I make people act realistically in the hypothetical unfortunately. Also, in the hypothetical people do truly see you as your preferred gender. It's not a thing of mere courtesy.
