‘gender is a social construct’

what this doesn’t mean:

gender is a spectrum, there are thousands of genders, everyone can identify with their own ‘inherent’ gender regardless of their biological sex

what this does mean

gender has been constructed by society in an exact binary that matches up with biological sex, so there are two genders because that’s all that have been constructed. it doesn’t work as a spectrum

gender varies according to time and place (the way a woman would be socialised in medieval england is different to how she would be treated in modern south korea, for example) so nothing about it is biological

babies aren’t born as a gender or a mix of genders. they’re born with a biological sex and then socialised accordingly. female babies do not come out of the womb submissive and feminine. this work is done during their lifetime through parents, teachers, early social interactions, media ideals, etc. so nothing about gender is inherent, it’s a set of learned behaviours

what modern gender theorists mean when they talk about ‘gender identity’ or ‘gender expression’ is ‘how well does this person’s personality, fashion taste, sense of aesthetics, temperament and emotional intelligence match up to the way they were socialised?’ and ‘does this person dress the right way in traditionally coded clothes, or does their mix of clothes and other items demonstrate a mix of genders?’ obviously clothes should be genderless so this idea is total idiocy. and the solution to ‘this person doesn’t match their gender’ is to eliminate the system of gender instead of making them switch identity and eventually biological sex.

Me: Passed out at 1 pm, went to church without wearing a bra, a messy plate on my bedside table from when I ate ice cream at midnight, lost concentration after reading 1 verse, calls the apostles my bros, a bisexual mess

Heavenly Father, with feeling: You are going to be a goddess one day, my sweet child.

to be honest, tumblr isn’t a very good place to be when you’re trying to make your mental health better…don’t believe everything u read, there’s a line between relatable posts and normalizing unhealthy coping mechanisms, so be careful if your goal is to be less negative.
