If gender is socially determined then why the need for transgender, why not just being who you are without labels.

    No, she appears to be saying that you lack the knowledge mecessary to particpate in an adult conversation. I would tend to concur, given your comments and post history. Drag queens wear makeup for as many reasons as there are drag queens.

    It is alarming that you grasp the most basic understanding of the fights feminism has fought for years. You think drag queens, of all people, are responsible for “bogus notions of femaleness?”

    Look, bigot. Just say what you mean. “I hate drag queens and trans women.”

      Drag queens are not responsible for bogus notions of femaleness but i do think they exaggerate and promote those notions.

          Do they call themselves women or men? I have a problem with people perpetuating gender roles that are crap.

            And, there it is. The self-own.

            If you truly believed that “gender is meaningless” as you say, this would not be a problem. What you really mean is “I dislike that gender is no longer binary and I’m going to create strawman arguments to hide that fact.”

            Drag queens don’t call themselves woman in everyday life. It’s all part of a performance. Just like drag kings. Unless of course someone is trans.

            But if you say gender roles don’t matter, why are you so butt hurt about men ‘perpetuating bad gender roles’ of women huh? So either gender doesn’t matter. Or it does. Which it seems like it does because dur dur men dressing as women offends me because gender roles.

            Someone really needs to take the blame for feeding you after midnight!

              Sigh… because they represent crappy gender staereotypes and refer to themselves with female pronouns whilst representing said sysroetypes. It’s not that hard to comprehend. Gender stereotypes obviously matter and have an effect on the world.
