[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 7438804, member: 6779196"] For sure :) I might not have worded that as well as I could have. What I mean to say is that sex characteristics do not dictate the identity of someone who has them. Framing someone who is born with a penis but identifies more with women than with men and is a woman in their own self-image has a gender that is “opppsite” their sex implies that identifying as a man when you have a penis is “normal” and the “opposite” is by aberrant by contrast. But as sex characteristics do not dictate identity, it is clearly not abnormal for someone with a penis to identify with women and see themself as a woman. So that model is flawed. Rather, sex should be seen as one spectrum and gender as another, and any placement on either as a normal, natural thing. Most cultures, however, have an expectation that one’s place on the sex spectrum ought to dictate their place on the gender spectrum. And this creates conflict with people who do not meet that expectation. Totally fair. Reclaimed slurs are a tricky thing, and when in doubt, not using them is always a safe bet, especially if you are not part of the group that has been targeted by it. Me, I love calling myself queer because it takes the power away from the people who would use it to hurt me. Damn right I’m odd, and proud of it! “Seeking normalcy” is kind of funky phrasing - we seek to be acknowledged as a normal part of life, not to pretend we aren’t different from cis people. To be accepted, not assimilated. To celebrate our differences rather than to have them ignored or demonized. [/QUOTE]
