Is this comic meant to be transphobic? Because that is what it inspires in me.

I can imagine it. Fags are finally getting rid of the pedos and then apotemnophiliacs try to hitch a ride.

this is about an intersexed character and is obviously written by a straight guy in its flagrant heteronormativity

This is definitely one of the most influential books on the subject, basically destroying trans healthcare single-handedly.

OP, I recommend Whipping Girl.

they are fucking synonyms

to us non mentally ill people the concept of a mental gender is fucking nonsense, we have no conception of 'gender'

>>7468164
Very specifically, it prevents a writer from entering the headspace of a non-hetero character, meaning a book written about such a character will probably be shit.

It really doesn't say much on the subject.
>>
>>7469264

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_transsexualism

There's more epistemic basis for that claim than there is for the claim trans people are crazy.

>>7469266

Read Popper.

>>7468042
>Sex and gender are different
People know this is just theory right? Like it's just a perspective on how to view gender. It's not actually set in stone. Not that I necessarily disagree I just hate when people are dicks about this.
>>
>>7469489
How else would different cultures have different amount of genders?
>>
>>7469263
>I was born with a penis therefore... I guess I'm a guy and any interest I have in things considered 'girly' doesn't really change that.

Intersex is a whole different story on the other hand.
>>
>>7469497

"different cultures" also have a pretty basic system of male/female gender binary and the occasional variation of a third gender variety is still culturally defined and unique to that specific culture.

gender is socialization based on sexual assignment. birth sex is the foundation of gender and the minimal amount of outliers aren't substantial enough to ignore the whole.
>>
>>7469509

I don't think anyone's asking you to ignore the whole, just to recognize the outliers.
>>
>>7469203
