No, you’re misinterpreting my words. I’m suggesting that the “gendering” wasn’t successful, as far as I can tell, because I have no stronger traits of either gender. It’s quite apparent in my body as well, having broad shoulders but a narrow waist, navel hair but no upper leg hair, and any other number of things. If that can happen to my body, why not to my brain? I am not psychologically as aggressive as a male, which IS due to hormones/brain development, but nor do I have the emotional capacity of a female, which is the same way. All I’m doing is looking at the way my body and mind act, and I am seeing no gender, so I choose to interpret it that way. You can go ahead and say that I am my biological sex all you want, but you’d better have a pretty BROAD definition of gender to do so, because all of the evidence I HAVE PERSONALLY experienced would suggest otherwise.
That is a really simple and very subjective conclusion though. “I’m not very agressive nor very emotional therefore my brain is genderless”. I’ll have you know there are lots of emotional or non-agressive males and rational or agressive females. You’re saying this kind of thing cannot happen to biological males and females? It definitely can, something else I came across looking through various articles under that Google search. I forgot if this was the right one because it is quite long, but it was definitely interesting.
The physical part is irrelevant, when we already know that the two can develop differently. It also makes you sound like quite the special snowflake. Like there aren’t any other people with that kind of body. It’s not that strange.But yeah, you say it just right. “I choose to interpret it that way.” “The evidence I have personally experienced.” That’s not science. These are subjective interpretations, made about one person, about themselves nonetheless.
If you have a good number of people that identify as “agender”, you cut their brains open, and there are definite indications of a lack of gender in there, that would be proof. This is one person saying “I feel this way therefore it’s proof”.
Then let’s cut open some brains, but until we do, what gives you the right to tell an entire group of people that they aren’t really what they identify as, and if they believe it too strongly that they need “professional help”? This isn’t like something that has been proven to be unhealthy in a majority of cases. Plenty of normal people experience it. You know, people called homosexuality a mental disease because they didn’t understand it scientifically just a short while ago. I really thought we had progressed.
