“Subconscious sex" is a term primarily used within transgender discussions , referring to an individual's deeply ingrained sense of their own gender identity, often described as the "feeling" of what sex their body should be on a subconscious level."
"Someone assigned female at birth might have a "subconscious sex" of male, meaning their brain primarily experiences itself as male despite their physical body being female."
It is important for readers to see these discussion cycles. It does follow a loose script.
In this case, we are now discussing the potential of a person's 'subconscious' sex. A 'subconscious sex' which is only based on what they believe the opposite sex's reactions to the world would be.
Nothing posted about 'subconscious sex' provides and foundation to why any policy where sex matters should give priority at all to gender. In fact, there is not even logic to support a 'subconscious sex' because a male person can only ever imagine how a female person would interact with the world.
If someone wants to categorise that variation of thought, it can only ever be grouped loosely into 'a male person's belief in how a female person interacts with the world that is not ever based in reality'. This category does not fit into the female person group and it has no overlapping to make any sub group. However, the people who discuss this group as being a valid sub group in the grouping of female people will resort to emotionally manipulative tactics to argue that it is a valid sub group.
That is then why we have to have the discussions about how 'sex segregation' is not important in society in any case, so therefore a person's gender should be the only thing considered in all things non-medical.
That is also why the questions relating to sports are ignored. And often the posts pointing out that there are 130+ genders, including those genders who can change genders regularly and frequently throughout the day.
All while gender fluidity is then used to scaffold the discussion about detransitioners. But is 'gender' if fluid, how can anyone then say that a male who has claimed that they have a 'subconscious' belief that they are female know what is their male experience and what is their female experience?
Usually there is also included a philosophical theoretical approach that revolves around 'I feel I am this thing, therefore I am this thing'. (thing being a concept) This approach is used as an emotionally manipulative crutch because it relies on the reader to accept that the person who is saying they 'are' something they are materially not, is what they say they are. It is circular. If I say I am this concept, I am that concept because all that concept is built on is belief that you are that concept and acting as if you are that concept or something similar.
Either way, the motivation is that a person who believes that they are something they materially are not needs to be treated as if their belief is real.
Because it then cycles back to 'Just because you say it is impossible, this is that person's life and it is their personal material reality. You just cannot experience it therefore you shouldn't be saying it is impossible'. And 'you just aren't open to other people's possibilities'.
It really is an incoherent theory.
There is always running through these discussions the very emotive points being raised about how distressing it is for people with a particular gender identity. And that we should be focused on making those people happy through accepting their beliefs as being the priority given in policy, law and in the social sphere.
Then comes the distraction about the evolution of the meanings of words and what do words mean anyway, the meanings of words change and apparently if a group changes the meanings of those words society must surely accept that and move on.
Which leads to the discussion about the meaning of the word female and male. Which leads to the mischaracterisation of what people who believe that humans cannot change sex believe.
Of course, most developmental biologists and medical science experts will confirm that the sex category of a human body is based on whether the body is formed around the production of large or small gametes and that the past, current or future production status of those gametes in that body does not change the categorisation. This has become easier with modern technology, but it can also be said that medieval doctors would have used this form of categorisation within the limitations of their discovery ability.
This discussion on the meaning of words can be referenced to philosophical streams of thought such as queer theory which seeks to destabilise the establishment, ie. the established meanings of words and the established facts of biological science.
It was why we had the very long discussion about who are lesbians and who are not.
Plus don't forget that same sex orientations are an important false comparator for those trying to argue that gender should be prioritised over people's sex categories. And it is a false comparator. But we still see 'being trans is innate just like sexual orientation'.
However, getting back to words, the script then follows that in any case a group of people can always attribute different meanings to the established words and that is ok, isn't it? Some transgender people can use the word 'sex' and some use the word 'gender' to mean the same thing and that should be acceptable to society. All while ignoring the ramifications on laws, policies and society in general if even within this specific group of people there is a lack of coherency in the usage of words, let alone rendering laws and policies meaningless with that lack of coherency.
The script avoids any discussion on the very real outcomes of all this philosophical theorising that has already been accepted as material reality. Sports, prisons, single sex spaces. And irreversible medical treatments that being done based on a philosophical belief - and one that is fluid.
Of course, that fluidity gets minimised and quickly moved on from because it cracks open the foundation to show there is no solid foundation underpinning the theories.
And so the script rolls on.
