I thought this way for years. Turns out men actually want to be men, and I am much happier being a girl!

    For sure!

    I’m a dude because I have always had to be something, but I don’t think the distinctions are necessary, really. What’s even the point?

      Patriarchy, mostly.

      Having genders is useful, but society needs to be more flexible with how people harmlessly describe themselves, not less. I blame the pulpit for the majority of backwards attitudes about it all, and I suspect many people here would have stories about being bullied for Christ. Especially those who’ve been homeless.
