FAQs on Gender Cognition as a social construct
This page describes the state of populist belief system propagation by taking an example of a dialogue between a woman and a woman with divisive feminism tendencies.
State of populist belief propagation - e.g. vulnerable group- transgender woman :
Fiction writers are writing about gender dysphoria without ever being diagnosed with it. They are also selling books, describing gender ideology and the movements behind it. However, several transgender persons have never interfaced with or joined any movement on gender ideology. Many transgender persons including the subject of this study are simply working with their self-realisations.
Older generation women who have grown up with lesser diverse transgender society, suppressed by patriarchal forces are describing how biological sex-based society should look like, without wondering epistemological justice to 'biological sex sciences'.
Oversimplified biology is often used in populist belief propagation with simple words and speculated convolutions, and when the subject hits the description of a human’s existential reality, by making use of advanced neurological sciences, endocrinology and metabolisms are all swiftly omitted.
The so-called paper billionaires with conservative interests are drafting scientific narratives without ever fully understanding human consciousness, planting malfunctioning chips in the human brain.
Lawmakers are drafting laws for children, without ever fully understanding the neurological development of gender cognition and biological sex in children.
In these populist belief systems, human sports are only body-based, as if a Human being is just a physical body-based organism which can move in space-time, and the cognitive function of the being has a 'null' role to play in how the human being navigates space-time in athletics that govern the human's performance.
The populist belief propagation mechanism comprises cognitive contradictions.
Gender is not a social construct, it is described as such for a simpleton language. No transgender person suggests that they identify with a gender. Such self-identification comes at the expense of rushing the organism to an existential cognitive state and mental distress.
Gender cognition is interpersonal cognition and gender discovery relies on both observers.
A dialogue between a woman (W) and woman with divisive feminism (WDF):
WDF: I believe a woman is a human being who belongs to the sex class that produces large gametes.
W: True, can be used as a base description of the sex class where gamete is part of biological sex descriptor but does not cover edge cases.
Also, a woman is a human being who may not be able to produce large gametes because of not having the body organ at all to do so or a body organ with a very limited function to do so.
In the case of intersex where a natural dominance of one type of biological sex descriptor may also occur, if the intersex relies on natural dominance and neurologically process the environment with one type of biological sex descriptor, then that would establish the human gender to be female or woman.
WDF: It’s irrelevant whether or not her gametes are infertile. She is a woman and just as much a woman as the others.
W: Very true. That’s so true about my dear mother n also some of it is true indeed for women who belong to progressed neurological age.
WDF: I don’t believe a woman is more or less of a woman for having sex with men, women, or both or not wanting sex at all.
W: True that’s just sexual experience, a subjective cognitive phenomenon that presents itself in lived experience.
WDF: I don’t think a woman is more or less of a woman for having a buzz cut and liking suits and ties, or wearing stilettos and mini dresses, for being black, white or brown, for being six feet tall or a little person, for being kind or cruel, angry or sad, loud or retiring.
W: True this is a kind of styling, nothing more or less. A woman may also present in conditioning which is akin to what the secondary observer may consider as man. That does not change the fundamental existential awareness of the woman.
WDF: She isn't more of a woman for featuring in Playboy or being a surrendered wife, nor less of a woman for designing space rockets or taking up boxing.
W: Yes, these r gender or sex roles but let’s not forget u haven’t adequately understood human sex with epistemological justice.
WDF: What makes her a woman is the fact of being born in a body that, assuming nothing has gone wrong in her physical development (which, as stated above, still doesn't stop her being a woman)
W: Wait why do you assume that something has developed all right in what we’re using as the term trans woman, of course, the trans woman’s cognitive development has not mapped with the body development since fetal stages. Human biological sciences currently have not documented this.
WDF: Let me continue, a woman’s body is geared towards producing eggs as opposed to sperm, towards bearing as opposed to begetting children, and irrespective of whether she's done either of those things or ever wants to.
W: Wait, pls tell me how the body gears up to achieve these things, who or what tells the body not the process but the characteristics of the observer?
WDF: I don’t know.
Womanhood isn't a mystical state of being, nor is it measured by how well one apes sex stereotypes.
We are not the creatures either porn or the Bible tell you we are. Femaleness is not, as trans woman Andrea Chu Long wrote, ‘an open mouth, an expectant asshole, blank, blank eyes,’ nor are we God’s afterthought, sprung from Adam’s rib.
W: True but let’s get out of speculated consultations shall we? Several cis women and trans women just like cis men and trans men have questionable criminal histories or sexual predatory behaviour.
These are simply representations of a woman in mythology and stories, it does not describe sciences I.e. curiosity to observe the universe and our own existential cognitive awareness of it.)
WDF: I don’t know. Are you a woman? You ask too many intelligent questions.
W: A woman can possess a lot more intelligence due to the motherhood traits that you just described. It is a very unique existential trait, that is only in women - whether possessing reproductive ability or not.
WDF: Women are provably subject to certain experiences because of our female bodies.
W: I think you have to alleviate an understanding of the term “female” hereby also including what u perceive as edge cases to complete the topic of study. Otherwise, you are saying only my cognitive experience of a woman and that it matches the populist description so that’s it. Full stop. This amounts to a narrow descriptor. The motherhood in me suggests that you are missing a bigger picture.
WDF: Let me continue, please.
W: Ok
WDF: Women are provably subject to certain experiences because of our female bodies, including different forms of oppression, depending on the cultures in which we live.
W: True but women are also smart and independent because of different body types.
I think u should also meet some of these women for whom their body do not become any basis of oppression, oppression probably comes because women alongside their bodies are also cognitively highly observant of their surroundings so much that they can absorb stimuli differently than men, due to the motherhood imbibed in them.
WDF: Anyway, When trans activists say 'I thought you didn't want to be defined by your biology,' it’s a feeble and transparent attempt at linguistic sleight of hand.
W: I think a trans woman is asking you about a fundamental experience cause of your screams that I am a woman, a woman and you with a t in front, are some low-life sexual predator. There are no trans activists. If a fundamental experience is said to be questioned with narrow linguistic conventions then the woman is forced to place the t in front of it.
WDF: You speak a lot. Can I please finish my thought?
W: Sorry
WDF: Women don't want to be limited, exploited, punished, or subject to other unjust treatment because of their biology, but our being female is indeed defined by our biology.
W: Yes very true N BIOLOGY is not only about some walking physical system with no life in it, a body in space-time. Biology also encompasses the study of grey matter, the brain, endocrine, metabolism and neurology. What you are depriving in your observation is excluding factors generally seen in surface biology to differentiate between the terms - a ‘girl’ and a ‘boy’.
W: It is no wonder that the human condition is born with differently abled functions. It’s sad to see that u so ignore the differently abled or what you would like to call ‘deformities’ to march on with these narrow ideas.
WDF: It's one material fact about us, like having freckles or disliking beetroot, neither of which are representative of our entire beings, either.
W: Very true
The woman is a beautiful being with limitless potential. Why are you then limiting us with a patriarchal and misogynistic mindset that a woman is only described with possession of reproductive organs?
WDF: You are again speaking a lot. Let me finish my thought.
Women have billions of different personalities and life stories, which have nothing to do with our bodies, although we are likely to have had experiences men don't and can't, because we belong to our sex class.
W: No actually, please look at leaders like Margaret Thatcher, Angela Merkel, yes the physicist and many more including what are described as trans woman scientists and writers) eventually, their experiences are not entirely confined to sex classes.
WDF: Some people feel strongly that they should have been, or wish to be seen as, the sex class into which they weren't born.
W: Sorry, wait are you diagnosed with gender dysphoria here? Why are you commenting on something that you don’t understand fully? No this is not what it is. The wish comes as a communication of the observer to the secondary observer. It is a mechanism for how the being describes what is lacking in linguistic convention in its exposure to the stimuli in the shared reality. The same can be said about the term 'desire'.
WDF: Can I speak my belief system or not?
Gender dysphoria is a real and very painful condition and I feel nothing but sympathy for anyone who suffers from it.
I want them to be free to dress and present themselves however they like and I want them to have the same rights as every other citizen regarding housing, employment and personal safety.
W: Let me tell u once again, clothing, identification whether ID or email, and hairstyle all come secondary. Some trans woman don’t even care to express themselves and have gone by life, aged into their 60s and 70s (under the oppression of patriarchal forces)
WDF: You have some serious issues with crossing over? Let me add.
W: Please, by all means.
WDF: I do not, however, believe that surgeries and cross-sex hormones turn a person into the opposite sex, nor do I believe in the idea that each of us has a nebulous ‘gender identity’ that may or might not match our sexed bodies.
W: I think you should first describe biological sex by including edge cases, the populist neurological training on each other’s corporeality that has shifted nuances in gender expressions, in order to base a society on these views.
WDF: I believe the ideology that preaches those tenets has caused and continues to cause, very real harm to vulnerable people.
I am strongly against women's and girls' rights and protections being dismantled to accommodate trans-identified men, for the very simple reason that no study has ever demonstrated that trans women don't have the same pattern of criminality as other men, and because, however, they identify, men retain their advantages of speed and strength.
W: First of all, transwomen do not have an advantage. A human being is not just a physical body moving in space-time with some sort of puppet thread. Please read a bit about cognitive sciences before generating the fiction here.
W: Criminality is a feature of a human’s deeds. No study has ever demonstrated that cis women are not molesting trans women in the streets yet street-style molestation is in full swing. These are social ethos.
In my opinion, these are hollow and baseless arguments. For how long do we have to carry the burden of ignorance?
WDF: In other words, I think the safety and rights of girls and women are more important than those men's desire for validation.
W: And the safety of trans girls cause their issue belongs to the same biological sex class.
Or else what do u suggest, shipping them off to Antarctica? Forcing them into the toilets and spaces of a different sex space would mean suppressing their cognition. I understand that protecting able-bodied women is also critical against a sexual predator who may gain access to the space by simply pretending to be a trans woman. But that issue is not linked to a real transgender woman’s condition. In effect, the transgender woman and her cognitive sense are also vulnerable as much as the cis woman in these scenarios.
W: There is no validation being sought by transgender women. In. my opinion, you are challenging a human’s fundamental existential state in disguise of the pursuit of civil rights.
What is coming out for a transgender? Is Gender cognition a choice?
Gender Cognition is akin to breathing(both involuntary and voluntary if the self realises it in a space-time). Thereby, gender cognition is not a choice. A human may withhold gender identity and expressions for a sustained period, however, it may be bringing existential cognitive awareness of the human condition to a state of suspension. In simpler words, this is measured against both physiological and mental well-being.
It is worth noting that depression as a mental condition is a different aspect of withholding or suppressing gender cognition.
Why do transgender humans come out of the closet? Is it not a choice really?
While ‘coming out’ of closet stories are of course stories of celebration, courage and self-realisation, sometimes they are also a reflection of a vantage point of an aggressive heterosexual narrative. This possibly does injustice to the epistemology for all of humanity, just like how patriarchy-based knowledge discovery has done epistemological injustice for establishing biological sex descriptors.
In social media dialogues, humans often talk with a surface knowledge of human existential gender and biology. The societal ethos is so wrapped with surface knowledge that hinders a deeper scientific dialogue in local settings such as workplaces, schools and neighbourhoods. Of course, privacy is a factor in studying knowledge discovery related to gender cognition because the secondary observer is interfacing directly with the primary observer(the human subject who is being studied). Low levels of privacy further hinder the study of gender cognition.
