Reply #60: The preconceived notions [View All]

[Branjor]

are exactly what I'm arguing AGAINST. Of course infancy and childhood don't exist in a bubble. That is exactly where a child gets a conception of "what a boy is" and "what a girl is" - from parents/ family/society. When a child feels more like what society says the other sex is like and therefore decides that s/he IS the other sex, that is because s/he has accepted the societal "norms" LOCK STOCK AND BARREL, not because s/he has rejected them.

**no "conflicts" with the biases being instilled**

This shows how much you know about me - NOTHING. I have rejected and fought against what I have been told girls are like since I was old enough to stand. I am a lesbian and a lifelong radical feminist and I reject society's female stereotypes utterly.
