The #MutualAid Housewives of Bluesky County

This comes back to the assertion being made in which in order to demonstrate you feel your sex or gender properly that you're going to compare and contrast stereotypes you hold about the genders and these are personal. There is an element to this in emotions as they differ across cultures but we've managed to get past that with simply language which I think can be taken as a display of the common referents. Whereas the most I've seen about being a man is wanting to penetrate things, as proven by turning literally anything that exists into a supposed metaphor for penetration. I don't find this very satisfactory as a hypothesis. And referring to the stereotypes is just reifying those gender roles that are supposedly being smashed by claiming if you can't open pickle jars and want to be penetrated that you're a woman.

FACT CHECK:

Gene/Jean (Tim Thomerson) is a "transmute", a humanoid being with a complete set of both male and female chromosomes. He/she serves as the ship's engineer. The gender confusion manifests in a split personality—when Gene's macho male side is in control, he is gung-ho, angry and violent with a pathological hatred of the Klingon-like "Gorgons", while the much more mild-mannered Jean personality is stereotypically feminine and demure, pacifistic and a bit of a coward. He/she will frequently switch personalities with no warning, and usually at the worst possible time.

In 2022, we're not laughing at Gene any more.

@MrDogsledder  Trans people have always been around, it's just that now there are better medical treatments so more trans folk go through with making the "outside" match the "inside".
There was a little boy, Denton, in my 1st grade class that I knew was meant to be a girl. That was in 1967. Sure enough, today "Denton" is now Denise and is living her best life as an old lady like me! I'm glad.

See, proven science.
