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

    Because the meaningful difference is socially created.

    and how much bargaining power do you think that the trans community collectively has in society?

    and before you answer, i don’t mean “on twitter”. e.g., dave chappelle has been cancelled on twitter, but still gets his own netflix specials and is seemingly friends with the richest person on the planet. jk rowling is still a billionaire that lives in a literal castle.

          I see it within a very limited sphere. It is not a problem . I am more just curious why the need to choose a gender at all. Ut seems like everthing i was taught is wrong. Gender is real and we are all defined by it, it’s so strong that it overcomes genetics .
