What are female emotions?

[Aristaeus]

So in another discussion with a certain poster, they said a transwoman was female because they feel female - they have a female psychology.

When I asked what 'feeling female' meant, and how a biologically male transwoman could feel female, the response was: "We have female drives, emotions, and female perspectives."

So a question for any females, what exactly are female emotions and perspectives? Presumably they are only emotions females (and transwomen) can have. I've asked the poster twice for an example of a female emotion, but haven't had a reply, so maybe another female poster could enlighten me. I'm very curious.

Why don’t you ask the person who said that? You don’t seem that curious.

As I said in my opening post, I have asked this person twice and they haven't responded.
You're female, do you have any thoughts on what female emotions are? I can't think of a single emotion that only females have.

I don’t care.

Fascinating.

Out of curiosity, are you asking because you truly do not understand or merely to spark a debate among women about their emotions which presumably would entail some intimate details not usually shared on an open forum.

I was told by a female poster that what makes a person female was not biology or anatomy, but the presence of female emotions. I was just wondering what emotions make a person a female. Presumably they are emotions that only females have, but I'm not aware of any human emotion that only females experience.

I don't expect intimate details, just the names of these emotions that only females experience.

So, I am going with you're playing the ignorant card and aunty antifa's use of an emotional response went right over your head.

Emotions often involve intimate details to explain why they happen. It was not a matter of whether you expect details, it is a matter that any answer would include such.

There should be no mystery here. Men have the same emotions.

Not sure you understand. The point is men apparently don't have these emotions. The claim was that there are emotions that only females have and it's these emotions are what makes a human a female as opposed to chromosomes or sexual reproductive organs.

I literally just want to know the names of these emotions, nothing else.

Happiness, sadness, anger, fear are emotions experienced by males and females.

What is the name of the emotion only females have (if the claim is true)?

 

[Mr Person]

It wasn't stupid when it started, but it ended up there. Picked up a kinda anti-trans vibe....



That said, I have wondered what exactly is meant by "feeling like a man" or "feeling like a woman." I've never considered whether or not I feel like a man. I am male. But I wouldn't say I "feel like a male" either. I feel like myself, whatever that means.

I can only guess that if I suffered from gender dysphoria, I would know exactly what it means to feel like I was a woman. But since I don't, I can't really imagine what it might feel like to feel like a woman. I can only understand that it is a thing and respect it.

Who said "feel like a woman" is an emotional state like sadness or anger? All sorts of things can be felt that are not emotional states. The person you quoted also said "drives" and
"perspectives", anyway.

Is the point of the thread to imply that there's no such thing as a man who feels like a woman, ie, trans-bashing? If not, you're putting this all in a really strange way and I cannot work out why.

Perhaps there is some kind of mental experience that is best described as "feeling like a woman" and you simply cannot intuit it because you do not have gender dysphoria. Maybe that's why there's no better way to describe it than the apparition did.




So....this is from the thread he has to be talking about:

It’s uncontroversial among biologists that many species have two, distinct biological sexes. They’re distinguished by the way that they package their DNA into ‘gametes’, the sex cells that merge to make a new organism. Males produce small gametes, and females produce large gametes.

Male and female are the sexes. Biological sex is literally male or female.

Do you really have no idea of how crazy you sound when you say biological sex is not the determinate of whether someone is male or female? That's like saying hair colour is not the determinant for telling if someone is blond or brunette or height is not the determinant for telling if someone is tall or short.

Going back a few posts, I'm genuinely interested in what you think female emotions are, as these are what you claim makes up female phsychology which determines if a person is female. What are the emotions and perspectives that makes someone female? What emotions do only females have?

Yup. Anti-trans rant. Standard fare.

Male/female are biological sexes. Male/female are also genders. That's kinda the whole point. Gender dysphoria is when someone who is biologically one sex "feels" like they are the other sex.



Would you be making the same noises if we replaced the male gender with "potato" and the female gender with "cabbage"? If we said that gender dysphoria is when a male feels like a cabbage? Would that satisfy you?

Of course not... because this isn't about some sort of confusion about what the subjective experience of a male feeling female is like, now is it?

Lisa, the poster I'm referring to, believes transwomen are biologically female because they have female emotions.

Just trying to understand her position.
Also, how is it transphobic to say males are the sex that produces gametes? That is biology.

How can someone of one sex feel like someone of the other sex when one's sex is nothing more than what gametes one produces? I feel like a person who produces ova doesn't really make logical sense.

He is mad at me because he wants to deny that we have gendered personalities.

There is a gender scale that ranks personalities on being male or female.

Hey “gender critical” feminist. You claim to be an advocate for women. Wheres your advocacy for this woman who was physically assaulted because of your hysteria?

TERFs pretend to care about women but in reality its a case of misandry and hatred of people who dont conform to the binary.

They are a time when men sit back, scratch their heads and think... What in the ****? The smart ones remain silent, are empathetic and give hugs.

Good God Man!!! You are telling women how they feel? Have you learned nothing!!

It is about negating transgender women, or something like that.

Every female (or male for that matter) are unique in emotion but certain personality aspects do seem more common in females.

Giving hugs are great!

Yeah it always is in “gender critical” spaces. Their twitter spaces are downright creepy at times.

I'm not trans, so I have no knowledge of being trans. I am female. I don't "feel" like a female. I AM a female. I can imagine being female and having a male body. That would be a very distressing state.

It is biological and cultural. You only have to watch a gorilla troop to see that.
