Textbooks have literally always said this. That's the definition of gender. Sex is biological and gender is about societal expression. I'm 26 and I learned it that way in school because it's literally the definition and always has been.

You are factually wrong. Gender relates to the societal perception and expression and cultural expectations of and around the sexes. It is not the same as biological sex. Pull out a dictionary as old as you want and look it up. Then change your username.

I grew up in the 90s.

Sex- the biological makeup of genitals and chromosomes you were born with

Gender- society's roles, expectations, cultural differences, etc around the sexes and how it is expressed

Gender identity- how you personally express your gender

This has never not been true. I'm also not a democrat. You're just wrong and saying that you're not over and over again doesn't make you right.

Trans people don't deny that they were born the sex that they were. they never have. Rather, they would like to present and be seen as the sex they were not born as. After all, your perception is your reality. And many succeed in doing so. I guarantee you've walked past a trans person and never even known it. If they are happier that way and hurting no one, what's the problem?

User has been deleted but so that other people don't see this information and become misinformed:

  1. detransitioning rates among the trans community are extremely low. Like 3% or less.
  2. Suicide rates among trans people who are NOT given affirming care are very high, yes. With all the bullying and transphobia, one can imagine why. However, gender affirming care is the number one thing recommended by both doctors and therapists in order to ensure the safety of trans youth.
