I recently laughed at an individual who, in addition to conflating sex and gender, didn't even know what "conflate" meant.

That may have been unnecessarily cruel. I certainly enjoyed it enough for it to be.

Nonetheless, I figure I'd better clear up the issue. It's not the first time I've run into someone with less English experience than I have. Pointing and laughing, while fun, doesn't really help anything.

So.

Basic definition: if you conflate two things, you think they're the same thing.

With conflation, you take two or more separate things and combine them into a single whole, all melted and fused together, inseparable.

For example, say you've conflated color and shape such that you think only triangles are blue. A circle can never be blue! It's a circle, which means it's red! You think a circle can become a triangle? Ha! You might say it's blue, but it is not a triangle, which means that it's red and will always be red!

I would like to trust that the metaphor here is obvious.

.

...But I don't. I don't trust that.

I've talked to too many people.

People who have conflated gender and sex such that they think only people with XX chromosomes are women. A person with XY chromosomes can never be a woman! He's XY, which means he's a man! You think an XY person can become an XX one? Ha! He might say he's a woman, but he is not XX, which means that he's a man and will always be a man!

Of course, circles can be blue. Even if their shape never changes, even if it's impossible for their shape to change, they can still totally be blue!

And people with XY chromosomes can be women.

Even if their chromosomes never change—even if it's impossible for their chromosomes to change—so what?

Sex is not gender.

Shape is not color.

.

I hope this metaphor has been simple enough for at least one person who didn't get it before to understand the basic concept of a physical, biological thing being different from a social role or psychological sense of identity.

#Isaiah is still snickering #sex is not gender #male ≠ man #shape is not color #red ≠ circle #and gee whiz #didn't I but ever simplify?#because it's not as though all of sex is a single static thing like chromosomes or a shape #but dang if I didn't reduce it all the way down for this #some folks need it simple #especially when understanding has to fight against the established flow of their preconceived ideas just to make it to them #rough stuff.

#good omens #ineffable husbands #aziraphale #crowley #they're nb in the flavour of being lesbian gay men bc its such a lesbian move to pine for someone for a few thousands years #and literally not make a move #PLUS u know when they have sex it takes like 9hrs and if you wrote what they did down on paper it really wouldnt look like much #but they still had to take intensity breaks bc they kept getting overwhelmed and then just making out for an hour #thank u for coming to my ted talk #high amounts of gender of all types happening all the time with these two

Did y'all know that Elon Musk's Twitter recently added LGBTQ terms (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Transgender, Queer) to it's "offensive words" list - meaning that links to tweets with words containing them aren't previewed in twitter DMs and are generally de-boosted (shown to less people) by the website? Did you also know there exists a character called the zero-width non joiner that you can copy and paste in-between letters of any keyword so that the keyword visually looks the same but isn't automatically seen by the algorithm as containing a keyword?

#cw slurs //// another fun quirk - the terms Heterosexual #cis #gender #and faggot are all fine but the terms Homosexual #cisgender #intersex #and sex are not.#cw slurs

You guys realise you’re allowed to say autistic right.

Don’t say “neurodivergent” unless you mean the entirety of literally every single mentally ill, developmentally disabled and insane person that that broad ass label implies.

Autistic isn’t a bad word. You can say autistic if you just mean autistic. Because I know for a fact when most of y’all say neurodivergent you don’t mean people with personality disorders or addictions or ptsd or Down syndrome or schizophrenia or psychosis. You mean autistic, and sometimes adhd.

Just say what the fuck you mean y’all.

#and while we’re at it we should be able to say sex change #instead of gender affirming care #which could be literally anything including shit cis people do all the time #neurodivergent #autism #autistic #npd #BPD #aspd #personality disorder #schizophrenia #mental illness #adhd #ocd

sometimes i just brood about how i can't walk around shirtless in public, which is such a simple privilege males have over females that really shouldn't mean much. however, it's impossible for me to rebel against this expectation on my own; the reason i don't just say "fuck it" and walk out shirtless is because i would become a sexual object to every man i see. the intent i had would be hijacked by the male gaze, if that makes sense.

i also see this hijacking thing happen with sexual liberation, where women were/are trying to reclaim their agency and right to have sed with whoever, but many men don't see it like that. they just see women they can have sex with, and the meaning is lost on them.

this observation has always frustrated me and it just sucks that you can see the pattern in a lot of aspects of feminism, where men will pick out parts that benefit them and THEN support those parts for their own benefit.
