How much awareness of it’s existence do you think a bee has?

I really have begun to believe that politicians should employ historians to give advice on certain political events by drawing comparisons to previous situations.
I respectfully disagree.
To me the abolition of gender would be amazingly freeing.
It wouldn’t matter if I chose to wear a dress to work or a suit.
It wouldn’t matter if I chose the pink shirt over the blue shirt.
It wouldn’t matter if I wore makeup and nail polish and be a construction worker.
Yes, I could do all of those things right now, nothing stops me rather than the feeling of being judged by others, hence the ‘external validation’ of gender.
None of those things above are inherently feminine or masculine but a lot of us are taught that they are and judge others on those ‘rules’.
For me, it is hard to fathom how someone who experiences so much suffering from gender dysphoria can then reenforce that same gender expression in society. To me, I’d just rather kids growing up who wear whatever clothes and behave how ever they want to (within reason).
If all people didn’t perceive certain clothes, behaviours and ideas as feminine or masculine then people would just be people.
I won’t hope to imagine your own internal thoughts but I am curious, if you weren’t taught what a ‘woman’ is and what a ‘man’ is do you still think you would have experienced gender dysmorphia?
Also, as far as I know body dysmorphia is different to gender dysmorphia. I.e. I can identify as a man but still want to keep my vagina.
I’m also not claiming you wouldn’t have still had body dysmorphia even if gender was abolished.
Google the definition of a meme. Memes are pretty much anything.
It literally definitionally is a meme.
Best you can hope for on bumble is a ‘hey’ from the woman.
That’s all they ever need to say, because again, it’s stacked heavily in favour of women so when they send 100 ‘hey 👋🏼’ messages they get 95 replies that have to carry the entire conversation. It sucks but that’s the reality.
Without external validation I’m not sure we can have gender.
Don’t get me wrong here btw, I’m not conservative on this issue, I’m a gender abolitionist.
PSA: If you’re a guy on a dating site and you reply with just “hey” or something similar to a lady then you’ve fucked up.
You get one shot at a semi-witty reply that may get her to smile before your reply is buried under 100 other guys also vying for her attention.
Just quickly read her profile and make some kind of riff off of it with an open ended question.
“Hey blahblah I saw you liked The Office, I’m more of a fan of working from home myself.
Also, why’s everyone seem to be looking for Jim? Who’s that guy?”
I’d quibble slightly and argue that there’s a strong case that gender is also performative so if society generally deems you a woman, you’re also a woman.
Yeah it actually is.
Who are you? The meme police?
Get new material Donald.
Hate is out, hope is in.
He has the big time rizz.
Nicole Shanahan seems to fit the definition of a psychopath.
I wonder if Greg has ever drunk baileys from a shoe.
Yes make it public.
No real reason not to.
Suck it you Venusian losers!
Go read or listen to literally any Medal of Honor citation.
If you think a Presidential Medal of Freedom is in any way close to those stories you must be a weirdo.
The myth that you can go to jail and it’s free board and food is exactly that, a myth.
You’ll pay for it one way or another.
It’s peddled by conservatives who think that jail is some kind of walk in the park. Sure there are nicer prisons but it’s still prison. No one really prefers it to being out on the street.
That genocide doesn’t matter for…reasons.
Great painting.
Excellent expressions on both subjects, the siren looks like a predator and the sailor has this face of fearful realisation.
Fair warning, I’m not here to judge but take it from someone who spent a lot of time trying to consume the most outrageous internet content to desensitise themselves - it all catches up eventually.
Anyway, this is some of the stuff that comes to mind:
Botfly extractions
Teenage girl suicide (hanging in a tree - too young to die IMO)
Microwaving kittens
Toybox killer transcript and tapes (I don’t like torturing people who don’t deserve it)
People having sex with aborted foetuses
