Like, so genders are social construct and different from biological “sex”, but identifying as a different “gender” requires surgery to change your “sex”? Is “gender” just personality? I’m so confused

Edit: also, the idea trans-affirming surgery and hormones is also absolutely horrifying to me for some reason; just, ouch

    Sex is xx xy and lots of intersex conditions including XX males and Xy women. Gender is an artificial construct and traditionally a division of labor. Most cultures before Christians and the West had LGBT in some way prior, although it wasn’t called LGBT, and ofc they had their own gender roles, which sometimes included 5+ genders

    Afaik most trans people don’t have surgery, because it’s too expensive, not very good, or undesired.
