Are you confusing gender roles with gender expression again?
for lay people who aren't educated in gender studies, there is no such difference.
the average person doesn't even know what a gender role is dude. if i asked my 16 year old nephew about how he feels about 'gender roles' he'd look at me and go 'what the fuck are you talking about?'
So which is it: has this topic been taught as super important since childhood, or does no-one know about it?
Also pretty sure a 4 year old would have little problem understanding "gender expression is how you act and dress and talk, gender roles are what people think you should act and dress and talk like". So, IDK, maybe have your nephew checked or something?
it is super important to rich liberal people, but not the rest of the world/usa. where i live i can't walk down the street without gender war nonsense being all over the lamp posts, but that isn't the case in most other places.
it's also super important at universities who are full of 'activists'.
It's important to me, a trans person, that I'm allowed to take my medicine, use the bathroom that aligns with my gender, and be addressed with my chosen pronouns. But I don't matter to you, I'm just a freak and the source of your problems.
Stop existing at him!
You don't matter to me because I don't know you. You are not the source of any of my problems. You aren't that important.
I don't know where you live. Come to Boston. People will bend over backwards to give you a job because every company is desperate to prove how diverse their workforce is. Our governor is a lesbian and pro-queer. Of course, the big catch is, if you want to live here, you better be rich. We don't want poor queer/trans people here, only wealthy ones! I have had quite a few trans/queer friends in my decade living here. But I have also known shitty trans people who I hate because they are whiny entitled people who treated me and other people horrible, including violence and rape. I have no clue if you are a good person or a shitty person, you could be either. Being trans doesn't automatically make you special or good in my book though, it is meaningless to me. You probably also care a lot more about what's between my legs than I do.
Sucks that other states hate trans people, but I don't live there and I have no say in their government policies.
If it's not important to the rest of the USA then why can't you walk down the street without seeing it? Could it be that it simply doesnt matter to you, and you're projecting your own indifference onto the rest of society?
it's important in my specific city. which is full of very wealthy very liberal people.
i've lived in many places and visit many places and other than Portland and a few other rich liberal areas, nobody cares.
