1 year round this fedded verse, eh? Still haven't made an introduction yet. Guess I should fix that then. 😮‍💨

Learning, deconstructing, and discussing social constructs like gender also greatly interests me. My current take on the matter is something along the lines of this:

The construction of 'reality', as we creatures in society understand it, is less so a rigid set of rules imposed by an external source of truth and more of an interpretation shaped by our personal experiences, values, and frameworks. With that in mind, we should question the "rules" that have been declared "the way of the world" and for what purpose (and whose purpose) they serve.

A "just society" is one that allows the liberation of all individuals, in all classes, to exist in harmony with their peers and environment. The true enemy to that goal in this current world is the hegemon constructed by those who wish to restrict and retain all freedoms to their whims. Everyone in the system, even those wielding it (to a much lesser degree), suffers for it, and it must be rectified if life is to continue on this planet

My strongest opinion would probably be that: gender essentialism, in all of its forms, is a toxic idea that must be excised from all minds. Bigotry borne from this essentialism (basically all essentialism) is a chief pillar of the hegemon.

Misogyny is a pervasive evil that wreaks havoc on many marginalizations. If you engage in it in my mentions, you will be given short notice to amend your sentiment or be banished.

And as a separate matter, I do not approve of bigotry directed towards masculine people, either. It is not the driving factor of the gender binary dynamic that exists now, but it is also toxic and has no place in a space for marginalized people or movement that aims to dismantle the hegemon. A healthier masculinity must be constructed, from scratch if need be, not abandoned wholesale.
This is not in conflict with acknowledging the danger and fear feminine individuals are constantly under.
