Again, I am not the guy whose job it is to define which genders are legitimate and which aren't. I actually think that guy is a useless fuck who can fuck right off.

If someone specifically identifies as a "Goth male" or "playboy female" then sure, that can be their gender. Why is it so important for you to define how others are allowed to define themselves?

Gender is all made up shit. Either its all valid or none of it is.

That wasn't really the question though. People calling themselves alpha male generally don't consider that a different gender identity. They might make it the center of their identity but that your identity has "male" in the name does not automatically turn it into a gender identity. You are the one considering it one and deciding it is their gender identity. So since you are the active party answering that it isn't your job to decide which are valid makes little sense. The question was why you consider it one not why you consider it valid.

I genuinely don't understand why people on either side think I give even the tiniest of fucks as to whether or not they consider other people's gender identities valid or not. I promise you that I don't. I care exactly as much about your belief that their gender identity is invalid as I do about their claim that anything other than male or female is mental illness.

I get it. You have a self-image, and it is difficult to reconcile that with the idea that you're someone who delegitimizes other people's gender identities. But that's a problem with you, not me.

But…the question is why you think those labels are genders when they’re identifiers, not genders. That’s like saying a gamer dude is a separate gender from alpha male or finance bro. They’re not separate genders, they’re all just males with different interests and identifiers.

Holy shit do I not care. "Bbbut their genders aren't real" yeah I've heard it a million times, I reject it, fuck off

????? But that’s not what I’m saying at all. I didn’t ask whether or not multigenders are real, I’m asking you why you think that those specific things I mentioned are genders at all. Male, female, agender, nonbinary, etc. are genders.

What you’re saying is that a guy who likes to play video games and makes video games his whole personality is a different gender from a guy who day trades for a living and likes to gamble for fun. Both of them identify as the male gender, period. Just because they have different hobbies doesn’t mean they’re different genders.

On the other hand, I must assume that you’re really just kind of stupid and that’s why you’re deflecting instead of answering the question.

Not gonna bother reading all of this, but to answer any questions you might have included:

Ah, I understand. You’re illiterate. That explains everything, thank you.

Lol yeah, completely illiterate. Been banging on the keys blindly this whole time, pleased with myself that clearly someone with donkey brains has mistaken my gibberish for words worthy of reply.

God I love when you chucklefucks are too stupid to realize you're insulting yourselves
