genders are archetypesNo. I think it's dehumanizing to categorize people like this. People are unique individuals, and when you categorize and label and put them into easy boxes, you stop seeing them that way.
It's the same as "jock"This is what I mean, when you define a person so superficially, you stop seeing them as an individual human being. I get the feeling that since you're posting here, the “jock” was the “other” in your life, but it applies in reverse too.
bits you foreground in order to engage in this signallingMy point was these charades are often regressive sexist things that feminism made progress against last century. It's easy to see why some people are offended by the idea that wearing make-up and a dress means one should now be treated differently. Those things aren't what define a woman, and a woman isn't less of a woman for not doing those things.
Good luck trying to get pack-critters to stop being pack-crittersWith respect, that wasn't my point at all.
The kind way to look at it is to make ... the sole criterionThat's taking a very superficial view of people again. (Besides the point I was making about general social acceptance, on a personal level I really don't respect people who need validation from others to exist.)
I think that self-id is the correct route to goI think people should be able to live however they like and do what makes them happy, but I was talking about when males perform “feminine” traits then expect society to treat them as female, and have a tantrum when they're misgendered or whatever. I don't mind what an individual wants to call themselves, but I sympathise with women who feel weird about males who decided that they feel female, so they'll do "female things" (a sexist idea) so now they deserve to use women's spaces.
the most surefire way to make them acknowledge your identity is to play into the stereotypesThe idea of "making them acknowledge your identity" is questionable, and you reinforce my point about defining femininity through superficial regressive behaviours. Women don't need to do those things to be women, no matter what the stereotype is of the time, regardless of cutting edges or accepted paradigms. Personally I find the ones that do engage in that regressive patriarchal shit to be pretty sad, but when males do it it has an extra layer of seediness.
singling transfems out for it is oddI'm not singling anyone out, it's just the thread topic.
