Nah. I can change. I currently identify as a man, but it's conceivable that I eventually identify as a woman.

I identify as a microwave.

Do you mean like how if someone is mtf for instance they never actually "changed" their gender because they were always female, even though their body didn't match their gender at birth?

Not exactly. More like since gender is actually just an infinite spectrum the gender terms men and women don't ever perfectly define someone, so really it's just people start expressing their sexuality how they always wanted to. They didn't change anything because gender doesn't mean anything.

Gender is more synonymous with personality than sexual expression. And people's personalities absolutely do change over time..

Yeah, they can. Another reason why it makes no sense to try to categorize something that is proven to be able to have extremely negative impacts on mental health when society pressures conformity to categories. The way one expresses their sex chromosomes can wildly change throughout their life. Personality is definitely very synonymous with gender.

Nope. Gender is binary, aka there are only two. The spectrum theory is not based on any factual evidence at all. It's just stuff people like to say, and "think" is true. Look at pretty much any other country but the US.

Do… do you think we don't have trans people in europe?

You do realize trans people are still gender binary, right?

by Anonymous 4 weeks ago

Not even cis, straight people are gender binary, bud.

Yeah, that's like, your opinion man. And an opinion not supported by any common sense or scientific evidence.

by Anonymous 4 weeks ago

It's actually the scientific consensus on the matter. Your opinion, however, is outdated, ignorant, and out of place.

Maybe the "consensus" on a left-wing US university campus. Not anywhere else in the world.

Keep living under a rock. Gender non-conforming, trans, and intersex people have existed across every culture for all of human history. You have to go out of your way to deny the evidence of this.
