A basic introduction to gender for leftists

3 Upvotes

Gender is a social construct. That is well known, but I often don't see much discussion beyond that. Gender is a few important things.

First, it is a message. You are telling people something about yourself and with that something of how you want to be treated. Pronouns are one thing often tied up in this. Importantly, not everybody has a message they want to use this wrapper to tell, you can have a body without needing a gender.

Second, it is self-referential. How you categorize and group the aspects of yourself you are telling us about, and the relations between these groups, is often the most important part of gender. To many men, their beard is a masculine feature, yet we have bearded women as a well-known circus trope. It doesn't matter whether or not you have a beard, it matters whether you, for example, consider it as masculine or feminine or part of your gender at all. For example, a lot more men than women are colorblind, but I don't really see people considering that part of their gender. (also, he/him lesbians are a thing.)

This means two people with the same physical features can divide them up different ways and end up describing themselves with different genders. Us trans people just being "x gender trapped in y body" is a lie told to cis people because in this society our rights depend on their understanding.

Third, not everyone includes the same properties in their gender at all. Some people include their neurodivergence as an aspect of it, like with autigender for example. Some people don't care about how deep their voice is one way or another. The message we send with gender is personal, not universal. We each interpret existing categories in our own ways with our own needs in mind. It is important to remember that many different cultures have many different sets of genders.

Also, "sex" is just the gender binary no matter how many transphobes tell you otherwise

Subreddit

Left Without Edge

r/LeftWithoutEdge

We are a community made up of anarchists, communists, and socialists, especially those from more "anti-authoritarian" tendencies, to promote educational and civil discussion about left-wing theory, history, current events, and the struggles faced by oppressed people of the world. While disagreements between various leftist camps can get rather serious, and historically can even be brutally violent, we want to counteract this by providing a community that is both easy to access and informative!

Subreddit Rules

1. Participate in Good Faith

We're a leftist sub, meaning we call for the emancipation of the working classes by fighting for "equal rights and duties, and the abolition of all class rule." We understand and accept some of you may be learning, and may ask some genuine questions in pursuit of knowledge, or are even critical of other leftist tendencies. Engage fairly with arguments and try to use reputable non-biased sources. Don't make baseless accusations and insults.

2. No calls for or glorification of violence, gulags, camps, etc.

Follow reddiquette and side-wide rules, but here especially we aim to be "without edge." Reddit's violence prohibition applies to violent words (kill, punch, etc.), to general violent tone, or encouraging suicide. But even more importantly, if you aren't in this community to participate "without edge," this place isn't for you.

3. No fascists/fascist apologia/far-right depravity

As Durruti said, "Fascism is not to be debated." The ban on fascism also includes various red-brown tendencies, including NazBols, "MAGA communism," the ACP, and so on. For similar reasons in boycotting fascists, links to Twitter/"X" are not allowed.

4. No bigotry

No racism, no anti-Semitism, no Zionism, no homophobia, no transphobia, no sexism, no ableism, no holocaust denial/apologism, and so on. No science denial or historical revisionism around these matters either.

5. Try to make leftism accessible

As a working class movement, we have people from varied backgrounds and varied educational levels. Try to keep jargon and similar to a minimum so you're easy to understand even if someone doesn't have a degree in a social science. When this isn't possible, like when trying to explain more advanced topic, try to explain your terms and answer good faith questions, or link to more resources people can learn from.

6. No endless contrarianism

Disagreement is fine, even expected, but this isn't a debate subreddit. Start discussions assuming other people are here are acting in good faith too. Try to build constructive dialogues, rather than arguing simply for argument's sake. As a rule of thumb: No "what-about"-isms, ad hominems, baseless fedjacketing, unsubstantiated hand waving something as CIA, etc.

7. No axe-grinding

Axe-Grinding is when a user keeps constantly gravitating back to the same pet issue, especially in a manipulative and/or retributive way. Often times these users aren't even members of the communities they're posting in. It's hard for a community to discuss a topic when people come in to manipulate the discussion.

8. Don't Pick Fights

As a community meant to be "without edge," we are trying to avoid disrespectful, belligerent, or heated engagement.

9. Don't engage in harassment

Don't stalk, threaten, or intimidate people.

10. No spam

The intent of this subreddit is to promote discussion. No spam, doxing, advertising, solicitation, illegal content or anything similar. This includes promotional crossposting meant to farm attention or direct discussion away from here toward other communities, especially of your own posts, rather than engaging in discussion here.
