  • @alslayer18
    @alslayer18 3 года назад +144

    So it sounds like some people are using the word choose in ways that I don't think they would normally. I dont think people choose their feelings. You dont choose to feel happy, sad, hungry, sexually attracted to certain people, etc. People instead make choices (take actions) based off those feelings (you're hungry, you eat), or to try and get a certain feeling (you want to be happy, so you watch a movie you really like). I think gender identity is in the same boat. You dont choose how you feel about your gender, you just feel your gender, and then you make choices (take actions) based on those feelings. It's very strange to me that people are trying to make the claim people choose their gender identity, since again, I don't think people would normally claim they choose any of their feelings.
    Edit/Update: Based on the comments I am seeing below, it seems I should clarify some points. I am trying to draw a distinction between feelings (desires and identity) and choices (actions). I don't think most people would say they "choose" to feel hungry at a particular moment in time, or that they "choose" to feel sad when a love dies, or that they "choose" a particular person they are attracted to. I think most people would say they make choices (take action) based on their feelings (but also including external pressures/forces). If a person were feeling sad, but desired to be happy, I don't think most people would claim they could just will themselves to be happy, they would probably take actions (make choices) that they know illicit a feeling of happiness for them. Saying because they desired to be happy, so they choose it sounds to me like it is skipping the part where they take actions to become happy. (Also if you were sad, but desired to be happy, where does the desire to be happy come from?)
    So to connect this back to gender identity, however a person decides to express their identity is the choice part, and the feelings that lead them to make these choices is their identity/feelings. I look at identity as a series of feelings that are much less prone to change than the other "emotional" feelings of happy or sad I was using as examples earlier. How a person feels about themselves probably can't be changed on a whim, and is going to reflect their choices and how they feel about those choices over time. I think to claim that feelings/identity is a choice broadens the definition of the word choose in a way that most people don't use, and isn't necessary to convey these points about gender, identity, and expression across (if anything, it only serves to confuse people). (Although to be a bit fair, the definitions of words have and can broaden in usage/definition overtime, and maybe I am just having a hard time processing the attempt to do it to the word choose)
    Hopefully this clarification makes more sense, and not less.

    • @hollanderson
      @hollanderson 3 года назад +1

      What if you feel neutral towards genders (sake of brevity I'll use binary), so being a female or being a male doesn't feel any different, only differences would be the pros and cons which balance out overall. But for the sake of being more socially "normal" so to speak, it is easier to conform to one gender specifically and follow those rules. Hence "choosing" one (more like randomly picking one), since either are fine. Does that make any sense? It's also a hassle when being with other people and them having to wonder which gender you are today (once again, there is no difference for me), so practically speaking, just choose one gender and don't make it so overcomplicated for everyone?

    • @alslayer18
      @alslayer18 3 года назад +9

      @@hollanderson I'm not sure I entirely follow what you are trying to get at. If someone felt they were non-binary, but made the decision to express themselves as male or female because of societal pressures, I would say the following. The feeling is being non-binary, but the choice is to express themselves as male or female due to other feelings (not wanting to be ostracized from soceity).
      The way one person chooses to express their identity does not have to be the same as that person's identity.

    I’m a lesbian so I fully understand Destiny and RGR’s arguments that I made the choice to identify myself as gay, but I didn’t choose to be gay. I made the choice to come out, but I was always attracted to the same sex even when I thought of myself as straight. That tension between what I’m feeling and the category I’ve fit myself into is what motivated me to explore my own identity and express that to the world. None of this is controversial at all. People are just so worried about where the argument is headed (aka “people who don’t feel x aren’t valid”) that they aren’t letting themselves listen

    • @indiahodgson3816
      @indiahodgson3816 3 года назад +14

      @Brittany Du right, but I was still a lesbian when I was in the closet. I was straight to the world, but I still wasn’t straight. In retrospect, I was a lesbian the whole time. That’s the distinction Destiny and RGR are trying to make - there is some internal process that differentiates a lesbian in the closet from a straight woman. If we say self-identity is the only thing that matters, then I was no different from a straight woman until I came out. Because I experienced same-sex attraction even while identifying as straight, there was something that called me to come out that didn’t call to women who continued to identify as straight. I did not choose for that “something” to call out to me. As RGR was arguing, that “something” is what made me gay, not the term I used to describe myself.
      Now as a practical matter, I can’t go around saying “person x isn’t straight, they’re just in the closet” or “person y isn’t gay even though they say they are” because I have no way of telling what someone feels internally, so I trust their self-identification until that changes. But this conversation is not about determining another person’s identity. We are talking about how to describe gay and trans experiences and the ways in which they differ from straight and/or cis experiences. Does that make sense?

    • @Mike23443
      @Mike23443 3 года назад +2

      This seems to be norm for a lot of people. I find it interesting because I was born straight and was never attracted to men, you could almost say I was put off by them, but over the years, from around when I was 18, I fell down the trap rabbit hole. Initially, it didn't change my position but over the past 8 years I have absolutely grown an attraction to men, albeit still feminine looking ones, and like Destiny says, I am bisexual but romantically I would not consider dating a masculine looking man, though I might have sex with them if they are particularly handsome.
      Now was this a choice I made (as I believe it is) or was I just born this way and simply didn't find out until later in life? Because I am strongly in the choice camp. By no means am I saying that it always IS a choice, I am simply giving account of my experience. I strongly believe that the majority of people do not choose their initial preference, but I do believe that you can add to it depending on how open minded you are and how you condition yourself in reacting to it. But I also think that you are anywhere from 'very unlikely' to 'impossible' to remove your attraction, both the gained one, but particularly your initial one. I don't think anyone could convince me not to be attracted to women, but I also don't think I could stop being attracted to feminine men.

      Believers in "gender" ideology are fixated with ENFORCING the exact same gender stereotypes (just with sexes swapped) that they claim to be (somehow?) "opposing".
      Imagine if conservatives tried to use drugs, to try to enforce those exact same stereotypes onto children, but NOT sex-swapped- How is it not just the same thing, but just slightly WORSE, to use drugs to enforce these pointless stereotypes on OPPOSITE-sex kids (in perfect physical health, Before they're chemically mutililated without consent, to make them conform to these all-important stereotypes... justifed by exactly ZERO empirical evidence of any medical issue, at all...)
      And exactly WHO are these "gender non-conforming" children, who are being chemically sterilized (whether partially or fully), and often robbed of ALL adult sexual function, in pursuit of conformity to traditional stereotypes?
      Anyone who's been around kids, knows that the "gender non-conforming" ones are MOST LIKELY to end up gay or lesbian, not trans- But gay/lesbian kids ARE still confused and insecure about their identity, and are VERY easily coaxed to buy into the (100% evidence-free) "born in the wrong body" meme, as a way to explain their (perfectly normal and healthy, though very upsetting to experience) adolescent confusion about identity...
      ...which results in this evidence-free ideology is doing EXACTLY what conservative, rabidly anti-gay Iran has been doing solve thier """homosexual problem'"" since the 70's;. Transforming gender non-conforming, gay males, into (the ILLUSION of) "gender-conforming, hetero women"... (except in Iran, they 1. ONLY do it to males, and 2. they do it in adulthood, when the man CAN, in theory at least, give valid consent... Unlike Western "gender" ideologues, who 1. convert BOTH gay men AND lesbians. And 2. who do it in childhood, when there's NO POSSIBILITY of valid, meaningfull consent... So western "gender" nuts are objectively far MORE anti-gay, and more HARMFUL to gays and lesbians, than the overtly, explicitly anti-gay Iranian gov't...)
      And again, this is ALL in pursuit of gender-conformity; An ideological REFUSAL to just accept gender non-conforming people (gay/lesbian or not) AS THEY ARE, to help them ACCEPT their real-life, perfectly healthy body, and to NOT encourage their most self-destructive tendencies (to believe that their demonstrably real, evidence-based sex must somehow be "wrong", in some mystical, undefinable sense, because of their non-conformity to stereotypes), and use that as justification for 100% medically unneccessary chemical/surgical mutililation... ie, The "gender" ideologues KNOWINGLY encourage people into a demographic which has a 42% rate of suiicide...

It’s just that there are a bunch of things weighing down one side of the scale. Heaviest of all being Black identity/convenience for not straightening hair, and your inner feelings for gender identity.
    So it’s stupid basically. You don’t really call that a choice.

    • @zvxcvxcz
      @zvxcvxcz 3 года назад

      The issue is more fundamental than coercion/duress even. In your scenario, what happens to the tongue in the end is the performative action, how you feel about your tongue is the part that you don't really get to choose and that informs what choice you end up making there, whatever you end up doing. If someone really doesn't like their tongue, then maybe it isn't a big deal, they were planning to cut it out anyway. If they're pretty attached to it, then maybe they bite the bullet. GSUGambit supposes that the final choice gives full information on how attached someone was to their tongue, with the assumption that if they cut it out, that they didn't want it whatsoever. How could they want it when they "chose" to lose it? In fact though, the choice of expression is separate and is not fully informative, even when not made under coercion and/or duress. Especially because the underlying state may change, but that doesn't mean we choose to change it. I don't think the tongue analogy is very good though.
      Think of it this way, it's sort of like the weather. You can't change the weather, you experience it, you can make choices about how you are going to handle it, but you certainly don't choose the weather. It certainly isn't "immutable" either though, it changes all the time, it can change you, but you don't really change it. I mean... you can, maybe, over a long time, in ways you probably didn't intend to (e.g. Climate Change), but even making choices to try and push climate one way or another doesn't give you much control over the day to day weather.

Unless you're gonna argue for mind-body dualism, gender identity and everything else in our consciousness has a biological origin. As in, the signals that make up our consciousness arise from biological processes. They are material, and therefore they are measurable, in principle.

      @gluconeogenesisevangelion9325 3 года назад

      I don't think you need to endorse dualism to think that the feeling of being a trans person doesn't arise from completely biological processes. Lots of alternate metaphysical views like panpsychism reject the premise of physicalism altogether.
      Materialism/physicalism dictates that qualia/experience/phenomenal states are not over and above brain processes, meaning that you could say x experience is identical to a certain brain state, but there are issues with it.
      For one, even if in principle, you knew everything about someone's brain processes. As in, you could study someone's brain to its fullest extent, you wouldn't know what is like (phenomenologically) to be that person. The best bat neurologist who studied the brain of a bat fully, won't know the qualia or feeling of being a bat (Nagel wrote a good paper on this). It's hard to see how experience is not over and above brain processes if studying all about the brain doesn't give us the same information. In this case, studying all we want about a person's brain (even with sufficiently advanced tech) who says they are trans wont give us information on what they actually feel aka their gender identity. So I don't agree that you could measure qualia.
      The argument here is that there is an ontological distinction between brain and experience. Since there is, we cannot use measurable data on the brain to map it with experience.

    This is actually just a cringe take to anyone who has a background in math.
    Russell's paradox is a criticism to naive set theory, which was thrown out long ago in favour of ZFC, which has yet to be proven inconsistent.
    The Axiom of Specification allows you to "filter" for elements from a larger set using arbitrary predicates, so as long as your larger set can be constructed in ZFC, it's fine.
    ZFC does provide a formal definition for "numbers".
    Also, Destiny's takeaway that "elements in a set might only share the fact that they're in the same set" flies straight in the face of the comments he's made on social constructions before.
    Even if a set is just defined by filtering over a disjunction of predicates, if the set is "interesting", (or analogously, if a social construction is "useful"), there are probably theorems about that set that would apply to all of the elements.
    And while I'm on this tangent, "set" and "category" aren't interchangeable when you're talking about formal math.

      @alexandersanchez9138 3 года назад +1

      @@empressfm156 Your claim that we can't use ZFC to define language is actually just wrong. The only problem with naïve set theory is that sets can get too big (Russell's paradox). As soon as you find a universal set existing, like the "set of all living people" or "set of words/phrases in the Oxford English Dictionary or Urban Dictionary" or something else, you can do naïve set theory *within that universe* and it is essentially the same as ZFC (indeed, by design). It is only limited by how well language approximates predicates, which is never a problem because ambiguity can be patched ad-hoc (even if this is occasionally expensive); this is essentially what the supreme court is for in US law, for example.
      As for the comment about different objects in the same """"category"""" sharing no other things in common, this is ill-defined (or, at least, extremely computationally expensive); you can find a strictly better (more specific) "thing in common" whenever those two objects don't comprise the whole set. In particular, in the genocide case, say the action of genocide A ticks option 1 and B ticks option 2; well, then A and B both either option 1 or option 2. This is more restrictive than the complete description of an action of genocide AND is has a lower-information description than the previous condition. Indeed, Destiny's initial intuition that you really can't have two objects which are part of the same set but share nothing else in common is essentially true, except when those two things are all there is, like "true and false" in the set {true, false}.

    Modern set theory under the Zermelo-Fraenkel Axioms resolved Russell's paradox. Currently, there are no known contradictions in the ZF Axioms, and it is regarded as highly unlikely that any contradictions exist. However, the only "issue" with the ZF Axioms is that, assuming no contradictions exist, they produce an incomplete system (by Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem), essentially meaning that one cannot prove all true statements under this system using these axioms. This is not the same as saying that set theory is contradictory. Naive set theory is contradictory, but the ZF Axioms were literally created to resolve those contradictions.

    It appears in most of these conversations that there is a disconnect between the two "sides" on the term "gender identity". Destiny appears to be using it to refer to a persons internal state of being, while those opposed are using it to refer to nouns like man, women, etc. Destiny should clarify that a persons gender identity (i.e. man, women,etc) would actually be a part of the term gender expression that was earlier used as those categories are wholly contingent on how other people see you. An example of this would be a cis man identifying as agender. Lets suppose that this persons remains identical after changing their identifier. What actually happens in this scenario is that the person finds a better identifier for their identity, but their identity doesn't actually change. Where as it feels the other people in the panel are misidentifying the terms we use for our gender identity and conflating that to be the whole of what someones identity is.

      True, but also false, gender identity, (being how other people see you), relies on perceived sex not on gender expression. When I’m treated in society as a woman, people are perceiving my sex as female, they aren’t treating me as the “gender expression”, “woman”.

    With the smoking example, the counter would be that the person should just stop desiring cigarettes. The desire for the cigarettes is something out of their control, engaging with smoking is in their control. Which lines up with destinys argument that gender identity(desire to smoke) is harder to change than expression(choosing to smoke).

  • @Altitudes

    There is evidence that brain structure and gender identity are related. There's a part of the brain that's generally different in males and females, and it correlates with the gender you recognise as and not simply your sex. The important thing though is it's an imperfect correlation. You can't even tell if someone is male or female, let alone trans or not, from that alone. The correlations, however, are plenty strong enough for us to say there's almost certainly a biological basis for transness.
    The nature vs. nurture thing isn't a real dichotomy. It's pretty much always both, and whatever characteristic is being looked at is affected by each to a differing degree.

      I think you're also missing the point here. The discussion isn't about if behavior is deterministic, but if there is something that we experience but cannot change separate from our choices but that my inform them. An analogy might be the weather. You experience the weather and you can take choices to handle it different ways, but you don't really choose the weather. Maybe you can change it, over a long period of time and maybe not the way you wanted to (e.g. climate change), but generally speaking you have no easy way to impact the weather. The choices you make are certainly informed by it though, do you put on a raincoat or not? You may choose not to even though you know it is raining. So our choices are not necessarily informative for what the weather is like. So someone has some sort of underlying gender identity, it may change over time, but they do not change it (usually, certainly not quickly), and they can make choices about how they choose to show or not show it, but those choices don't necessarily tell the world what their underlying gender is.

    The problem with the dudes stance on just let those bigots be bigots, is if it is infact true, that it is a choice to be trans, then those TERFs are actually making a good argument. If being Trans is a choice, why wouldn't you just choose to identify as someone who is CIS?
    Why would you expose yourself to all of that heartache, discrimination, mental health issues, and suicide rate if you could just choose to not be that.
    The point Destiny was trying to make, is if you think being trans is a choice, then it is a logical conclusion that those people should just choose to not be trans. This is obviously not true, as the process's that are in charge of our sexual orientation, and gender identity is an unconscious process. By definition this means that we do not have control over it.

    • @onepartyroule

      I dont think anyone is arguing that people who genuinely identify as trans dont have certain kinds of feelings. I think the point is whether or not the _interpretation_ of those feelings, and the claims made as a consequence, are reasonable or justifiable.
      Btw, there are provocateurs who identify as trans for attention and to stir controversy or debate for sure. Eddie Izzard is a famous example of someone who now identifies as gender fluid, but until very recently used the term 'transvestite'. According to the interviews where ive seen him talk on this subject, he has no gender dysphoria, but simply likes performatively expressing his femininity through female gendered clothes and make up. Some transvestites/cross-dressers, like Eddie, are now calling themselves transgender, and gender fluid. I sometimes get the impression that people are using a 15 year old understanding of the term 'transgender'. That term has now become a massive umbrella for all kind of different experiences and conditions manifesting for all kinds of different reasons. The only thing we can say for sure about someone currently identifying as 'transgender' is that, for at least _some_ of the time, they dont like identifying with the gender prescription of their birth sex. And that's it.

      Okay, to clarify, apologies in advance for the canned responce: In fairness, it was 4 in the morning and we're talking to a layman audience, but I'm referring to native set theory here. ZFC's axioms don't allow for its use in defining language, an amorphous social construction, which is what the previous speaker had done implicitly. Yes, ZFC can be used to define numbers, but the entire point is that it's axiomatic; it's simply asserted as true, rather than being proven true or derived from some "natural" source approach as Frege might be characterized as having attempted. So yes, ZFC can be used to define numbers, but not through appealing to categorical distinction in the way that native set theory did as applied by Frege, which is how the previous speaker had attempted to use it.

    *Premise 1:* Environmental factors play a role in shaping one’s gender identity.
    *Premise 2:* A person can choose to alter their environment, including its aspects which influence their gender identity.
    *Premise 3:* A person can do so with awareness of the first two premises and intent to indirectly alter their gender identity.
    *Conclusion:* A person can choose to alter their gender identity.
    *edit: premise 2 was meant as “A person can choose to alter some aspects of their environment...”, not “all aspects of...”. Also, the conclusion doesn’t say anything about the extent to which a person can alter their gender identity other than that it is nonzero.
    Moreover, I think internal psychological factors play a major role in the shaping of one’s gender identity, not just their external environment. People give self-talk to reinforce or reject their felt gender identity, e.g. a female-assigned-at-birth person giving self-talk to reinforce their largely unchosen masculine identity.
    So while we might not be able to choose our gender identity “on a whim” (which seems essential to the concept of gender identity, if well defined*) we can still make choices that intentionally change our gender identity over time.
    At any given moment, you could ask yourself “Is my gender identity a choice?” and recognize “It has been influenced by internal and external factors, some of which are influenced by choices I made”. The extent to which your gender identity is a choice depends on how much you have intentionally influenced it; the condition of some state of affairs (gender identity, in this case) being chosen is not binary. Returning to a previous example, a female-AAB person who innately feels masculine and actively reinforces this identity via self-talk could be said to have chosen a more strongly masculine identity, but their gender identity is mostly unchosen on the whole. On the other hand, I see no reason why a person couldn’t have one innate gender identity and radically change it over time by choice. I suspect this line of argument applies similarly to sexual orientation.
    *I don’t have a great definition, but the way I am understanding gender identity can be put in this way: a person’s sense of gender when isolated from any internal motivations or external pressures, but NOT necessarily unaffected/unconditioned by previous internal motivations and external pressures. In other words, it is independent from current pressures but is influenced by previous pressures and is subject to change over time according to current pressures. If the distinction between X being isolated from but not unaffected by Y is unclear, consider X to be a person and Y to be the person’s social anxiety. If you were to suddenly “cure” their social anxiety, they would still be a different person compared to if they had never had social anxiety from the start. For instance, being socially awkward might be a part of that person which doesn’t necessarily suddenly disappear if you remove the social anxiety, so it would exist in that person when “isolated” from their social anxiety.

    Destiny keeps using the words female and male to describe gender, even though these are biological descriptors. By the way, even though you should indeed differenciate sex and gender, the most common understandings of man and woman are respectively "adult male human" and "adult female human", these words follow the same pattern as donkey and jenny which have for respective definitions "adult male african ass" and "adult female african ass" (it's the same for all species). So we should definitely find words which actually refer to gender, it would be less confusing and prevent most conflicts (as most people who disagree think we are refering to sex when we are refering to gender, and it's our fault, honestly).

    I am actually a little bit triggered by what happened in the last few minutes here. Set Theory as we practice it for the almost the last 100 years is not inconsistent, in fact both Philosophy and Mathematics went to great pains to remedy Russels Paradox, which gave us Zermelo Frankel Set Theory (literally the fundament of all Mathematics and formal Logic). If you have taken a class in Logic and you don't know that, you have not paid much attention. Both the Logic and Math community has been and still is very open about the flaw of Naiv Set Theory, it is about the first things you will hear about it. But it is also very open about it being fixed. And ZF Set Theory is not even the only way from that problem. Russel himself had very good ideas on how to fix it. So the claim that Set Theory is inconsistent is out right bad faith in my mind. This is not to say Set Theory is easy, it really isn't despite the surface level impression, but don't think Mathematician to be sloppy about something so fundamental.

      Okay, to clarify, apologies in advance for the canned response: In fairness, it was 4 in the morning and we're talking to a layman audience, but I'm referring to native set theory here. ZFC's axioms don't allow for its use in defining language, an amorphous social construction, which is what the previous speaker had done implicitly. Yes, ZFC can be used to define numbers, but the entire point is that it's axiomatic; it's simply asserted as true, rather than being proven true or derived from some "natural" source approach as Frege might be characterized as having attempted. So yes, ZFC can be used to define numbers, but not through appealing to categorical distinction in the way that native set theory did as applied by Frege, which is how the previous speaker had attempted to use it.
