oh okay. you were asking stupid question so i felt like joining in.   > the truth. men pretending to be woman and visa versa no, you didn't answer the question. read my words more carefully, dumb-fuck. what word should i use to replace "transition". you did not answer that. i can say "transexual / transexualism"? what the fuck do you want me to replace those words with? sorry if i'm not a 85 iq hillbilly like you. i actually need to have a appropriate vocabulary to describe reality, something people like have a problem grasping.   > how are sex and gender not synonymous? i have to do the devil's advocate now bevause i still don't agree with gender theory. in short :  - your sex is biological and immovable. so you're born xy male or xx female. - your gender is whatever the fuck you want it to be, because there's scientificly-based or reality-based concept of gender. as they say "gender is a social construct", which is shorthand for "we invented something that doesn't exist, because we want to add more letters to the lgbt acronym, to make it seem bigger than it really is". so the terminology they use can be confusing, for example : - mtf amab = male-to-female (man to woman) and assigned-male at birth. and the reverse would be :  - ftm afab = female-to-male (woman to man) and assigned female at birth. leftists have a hard time themselves, because they fucked around with definitions too much and are starting to find out. "man / woman" = gender. "male / female" = sex. i don't agree with it, i'm just doing a basic rundown.
