I argue that postgenderism, "I'm my own gender, " or "no gender" has zero to do with this. Such positions have no medical support, and are basically "I'm a special snowflake, short and stout."
What are your opinions on "postgender" theory?

Sources? As Gender is a human construct, human psychology (like what we learn as a child) and physical differences between men and women, not to mention chemistry, is the lifeblood of gender. Thats what my research has yielded, anyway.

The idea of "postgender" is ridiculous unless we're talking about robots or transhumanism. A regular person, cis or trans is gendered....period. Your a male or a female.

Whatever they want. But their attaching themselves to a group with medical concerns is not right.The Xenopolis Confederation wrote:IDK, if someone wants to call themselves their own gender, why not? They're not harming anyone. They might change their minds after a while, they might remain happy how they are. Different strokes for different folks.

Species is supposed to denote different life forms that are unable to breed with each other and form fertile offspring. That isn't really a social construct. The fact that for extinct life forms we cannot be certain if they where unable to interbreed does not change the fact that species actually have meaning beyond a social construct.

well to be fair, everything is technically a social construct in that we define things by arbitrary terms that have been defined by us using more arbitrary terms.
