Research indicates that individuals with ASD are more likely to experience gender dysphoria, and vice versa.

    Gender is real, it’s just a human construct. But that doesn’t make it any less real than, say, Italian is real despite it being a human construct.

        Salad dressing is also a human construct.

            I’ve never seen salad prance before. Is this a shroom thing, or am I just not looking in the right spot?

      But like pre-nation of Italy Italian it can have fairly different interpretations based on regionality

        Absolutely, but that does not make it less real to the particular society a person might be in.

      The idea of gender is just stupid and has to go, regardless if people consider it real or not, it’s a social construct that must go

        Well that’s what Trump is trying to do so.

        I guess you and the fascist are getting your wish.

        Seriously though, gender is older than Homo sapiens. It’s about division of reproductive labor and the classes that humans form around that

        The gender binary needs to go. Gender inequality needs to go. But people are going to have gender as long as we have class distinctions and we are a long way from outgrowing that.
