If "gender" is a social construct, then why use the term transgender?

Um…no they won’t.

You don’t hang around kids much, do you?

What a creepy question.

Anyway, you can blindly defend this trash if you want, but I’m not wrong.

That poll is not measuring for people who actively are calling themselves LGBTQ.

Kids will lie and claim they’re some kind of LGABCDE soup because it makes them just a little edgier.

It’s all pointless but the Woke Regressives seem determined to drag us backwards in the general direction of ancient Sodom and Gomorrah.

More cons hand wringing. Woke caused SCOTUS to invoke the 14th amendment.

What total and unfettered nonsense.

does all it take to be “Male” a penis?

is there nothing else that define male identity in American society just reproductive parts.

Yes there is. Chromosomes.

There are a number of scientific disciplines that provide empirical facts regarding distinctions between males and females.

1. Genetics
2. Biology
3. Biochemistry

so your issue is with people using the term female/male because you personal don’t feel they are entitled to it.

sounds kinda authoritarian.

If “gender” is a social construct how is it even possible for someone to feel like a “man” or a “woman”? Wouldn’t such feelings be based on the arbitrary social constructs developed in the unenlightened old fashioned world? Here’s a typical definition of “gender”:

"Gender refers to the characteristics of women, men, girls and boys that are socially constructed. This includes norms, behaviours and roles associated with being a woman, man, girl or boy, as well as relationships with each other. As a social construct, gender varies from society to society and can change over time."

If one accepts this explanation then is not the explanation and/or discussion of “transgender” pointless?

It’s all pointless but the Woke Regressives seem determined to drag us backwards in the general direction of ancient Sodom and Gomorrah.

how does people living their lives as transgender effect you in anyway.

The fact that gender is a social construct does not mean that it has no “meaning.”

It clearly has a lot of meaning, to a lot of people.

So what exactly makes one transgender, when a person says “I FEEL LIKE A WOMAN!” (I the case of a biological male for example.)

Hey, these kids aren’t entirely stupid. Being “gender fluid” doubles their chances of getting laid.

There are a bunch of twenties something living next door to me. Good kids; good neighbors. The girl who owns the house was explaining the relationships among them. She said she was “polyamorous” … She was dating two of the guys and one of them was dating another girl. We used to call that promiscuous or playing the field.

[SixFoot]

I grew up with words like, “Ho” and, “Slut” for that. lol

I keep finding it difficult to get past that gender is a social construct but then again it’s not?

Not according to the modern definition.

In most contexts, if not all of them, sex is biological, gender is social. Sex and gender - Gender Matters

Aren’t gender norms something the left thinks should be done away with?

Then why call oneself “transgender”?
