There’s been so many studies on this it’s ridiculous and I think we need to stop focusing on the why and just respect people’s genders and stop forcing gender roles on to people (and I totally see how a TERF could twist this so don’t even try). However, as a genderqueer person I do get a little joy from this. Now we just need someone science-y to point out sex is a construct.
get fucked gender essentialists
someone send my dad this lmao
HUMANS ARE A SEXUALLY MONOMORPHIC SPECIES
HUMANS ARE A SEXUALLY MONOMORPHIC SPECIES
HUMANS ARE A SEXUALLY MONOMORPHIC SPECIES
This is pmuch common sense. We are not anglerfish. We are not elephant seals. We are not orangutans. We are not peacocks. We are sexually monomorphic - that means there are literally no actual difference between males and females outside of our genitalia, and humans are similar to crows and dolphins in that aspect. And thus, our rigid concepts of gender and sex roles are entirely social constructs. One based on a myth of sexual dimorphism that does not exist in our species.
Science, motherfuckers
THERE WE GO. Now when someone tries to de-legitimize your gender identity, your response can be “SCIENCE BITCH I’M VALID AS FUCK.”
