Some sketchy areas?? [random thoughts on grey areas of gender and gender identity politics.]

I'm told by some on the left that transgenderism isn't a thing you're wrong about. I know of a few people who tried it and realised it wasn't for them. In fact, before surgery or other treatments, in most cases. And the counselling for those who think they're transgender tends to see most change their mind on this matter. I think a lot of progressives generalise and don't get that some people are mistaken in their choices. They support the idea so much because of those who do transition, and stay the course, don't turn back. That in itself creates the idea that there is no changing your mind. By generalising, intolerance is the broad result. As with some of those who did live their life as trans for a number of years, as soon as they returned to what is, in general, cisgender. They might find hatred from those who can be ideological about these things. The social media abuse between sides who set standards is troubling. And most people who have tried and considered transgender lifestyles or differing ways of life, don't feel comfortable talking about it. I think there is a mainstream polarity, which leaves behind those between. Who may have other reasons behind why they thought they were trans. And in modern times, the watering down of gender identity has created a popularity of calling a thing a gender, when if it is a personality type. And oddly, most mainstream UK conservatives seem to not mind people undergoing gender assignment. We're very liberal in the UK, it seems. I think what many are confused about are the nebulous areas of special identity. Or a unique identity. Where some seem to confuse character traits and personality types with gender issues, and some, in some cases, confuse sexual kinks with gender identity. Hardline conservatives blur the lines to throw out the baby with the bathwater. While the progressive-left blur things in their own way with ever-expanding lists of things that people are or are meant to be, and seem to ignore some things that are sometimes bigger issues. Such as those former-trans people, those who were gender-confused, sexually confused gender relating identity issues, those who reverse transition, and many other types or groups. These outnumber the new specialist and semi-unique labellings for gender identities that many are obsessed with. It begins to make a mockery of what is gender or gender identity by making out that some things are gender types or identity types that may not be best described by gender political terms.

Gender Identity Contionued...

]More notes from recent thoughts on this subject, see my early article for more thoughts, and more may follow in the future.]  

You may identify as whatever you wish, this doesn't mean you scientifically are the case, with gender fluid and other variables this identity choice is even more illogical from a factual point of view, however, tolerating such identities isn't a problem. What is a problem is confusion over what gender it at the culture level, and how this social understanding is not compatible with the scientific definition of gender. Knowing that radically different points relate to differing areas of thought and study create different results, the pseudoscience of many social justice activists are massively biased to the fundamental views of culture imposing gender identity, which they take as gender in totality, whereas, the less left voices focus on the scientific view only, such as chromosomes. The fact is there are chromosomal and chemical imbalance reasons for gender characteristics meaning the general conservative view is in error, not that social identity is enough to argue that gender doesn't exist and/or is an imposed cultural view.

The nuanced answer has more to say than SJW claims and the (often) right-wing rhetoric.
