Mermaids has quite a reach. Influencing consumer groups.

The ease with which schools, workplaces and other organisations are being brainwashed is quite astounding

I have no inner sense of gender identity either. I am who I Am, for better or worse, and that fluctuates. Isn't it called 'personality'?

That is true its very hard. To test there are studies from the Dominica Republic who have a high rate of intersex that show there is an I ate component but there are so many other factors it's hard to do a controlled study.

It doesn't take much to wake up. Only a few people manage to maintain cognitive dissonance, most will peak. Those that normally won't listen, I note is because they have made an arse of themselves over this issue and are embarrassed to admit they are wrong.

Nope. I have a sex, and then other people make assumptions about me based on my sex. No "gender". I have a personality, and everyone does indeed have one of those.

Wow, news to me. I thought gender was a load of made up bollocks designed to keep us in little boxes.

So what’s gender then and how do you know what yours is? I feel like mine might be a tiny purple Martian who comes out when cream cakes are on offer.

Or have I got this game of make-believe all wrong?

I don't have a gender identity.
My being female is linked in my mind to my physical body.
My brain would be the same if I were male (except probably I would not have c ptsd because male violence against women is a thing.)

The question is whether it's innate. My 'gender identity' is based on my body and the way I've been socialised. I don't have an innate sense of womanliness. If I'd been born with a male body and socialised as male, I'm sure I'd identify as male.

Every one does have a gender identity like they have a sexuality. I'm a bit confused at the threads title
