sex and gender are two different things. where is the trans movement headed?

One needn't be a genius to understand what I've posted. I'm not concerned if you're capable. Fact is I am an expert and you're spewing moronic bigoted bs and it's pathetic.

If you want to convince people that you are an expert in this field, here's a tip. Actual experts tend to back up their claims with peer-reviewed articles like this one. rather than relying on ad hominems. As you can see, hormones are produced by the endocrine system. The endocrine system is a biological system in the human body. It is not a social system. Hormones are not social constructs. Instead, they are biological constructs, created through a biological system in the human body.

If there were an actual expert who wanted to claim that hormones were social constructs, they would present some peer-reviewed evidence to that effect. But of course, no actual expert would make that absurd claim, and no such peer-reviewed evidence actually exists.

Gender is far more than just hormones and DNA. This is why psychological gender identity exists because of you go only by hormones and DNA then transgender people do not exist. It is the incongruence between the physical gender/hormones/DNA and the psychological gender identity that creates a person who is transgender or to a lesser extent non-binary. Do you need me to define and explain gender incongruence for you?

Abstract​

Gender incongruence (GI) is defined as a condition in which the gender identity of a person does not align with the gender assigned at birth. Awareness and more social acceptance have paved the way for early medical intervention about two decades ago and are now part of good clinical practice although much robust data is lacking. Medical and mental treatment in adolescents with GI is complex and is recommended to take place within a team of mental health professionals, psychiatrists, endocrinologists, and other healthcare providers. The somatic treatment generally consists of the use of GnRH analogues to prevent the progression of biological puberty and subsequently gender-affirming hormonal treatment to develop sex characteristics of the self-identified gender and surgical procedures. However to optimize treatment regimens, long-term follow-up and additional studies are still needed. What is known • The prevalence of gender dysphoria increased significantly in the past years and can lead to significant complaints and burdens especially during puberty. • Pubertal suppression and gender-affirmed treatment can be effectively used in adolescence with gender dysphoria. What is new • Transgender mental and medical healthcare is a long-lasting process during which not only the child/adolescent with GI but also their parents/family have to be counseled in making choices about their social, medical, and legal transitions. • There are an increasing number of transgender persons defining as nonbinary. Therefore, an individualized approach by an experienced team is necessary.

Gender isn't a social construct. Animals instinctively behave the way they will based on being male or female.

What you might argue, and is something Marxist-feminists have argued in saying capitalism is patriarchic, is that femininity is intrinsically disposed towards dialectic mental states whereas masculinity is disposed towards analytic mental states. However, we all have dialectic and analytic mental states. Just because you live a lifestyle that practices your natural weakness more often than your natural strength doesn't make your natural weakness a natural strength. It might become an artificial strength, but that doesn't mean you changed what you are.

There is an argument, in turn, that suggests transgenderism is actually an effort to subvert anti-capitalist movements by enabling one gender to disguise itself as the other in order to either infiltrate or abandon said movements.

Stop using words and concepts that you obviously do not understand.

Marxism is a social, political, and economic philosophy named after Karl Marx. It examines the effect of capitalism on labor, productivity, and economic development and argues for a worker revolution to overturn capitalism in favor of communism.

You might want to learn what Marx said and what marxism advocates because gender and feminism have nothing to do with shared economics. Trans people are less than 1-2% of the population and that number has been stable for more than 2 millennia. This is not a new idea or a statistically significant expanding demographic

It's well noted how Marxism associated capitalism with patriarchy. Marxist feminists simply sought to emphasize that, especially when considering feminist epistemology. Dialectic, scientific, and historical materialism are all treated as innately feminine mental states and the economic revolution would require deferring to feminine expertise.

There are even neurological considerations to be made here such as the difference between gray versus white matter, anterior versus posterior cingulate cortices, and brain size versus more interwoven corpus callosa and how these differences in brain structure are connected to the brain's development while exposed to testosterone and estrogen.

You seem to have a significant problem with women having equal economic power and rights, plus social-political power as men enjoy as well as elected politicians over a mixed society. We are not going to play second-class citizens to men because of your ego, political affiliation, wealth, or your skin color, even when it's under a sheet.
