The Gender-Binary System Was Created For Population Control And Slavery, Including Sex Slavery
Gender Binary System notes (part 7 of 7)
(Note: This article was originally published on Sept. 12 2016 as ‘Gender Binary System notes.’ It was written as a loose set of notes on the gender-binary as an exclusive system, and its’ limitations, rather than as a cohesive article or essay. I have broken the article up in 7 parts, with 7 different titles, for your reading convenience.)
THE GENDER-BINARY SYSTEM WAS CREATED FOR POPULATION CONTROL AND SLAVERY, INCLUDING SEX SLAVERY
I personally believe the gender-binary system, like the race system, as legal systems that is, (and so not to suggest many people do not feel themselves to genuinely fit into the binary,) was created by the European colonialist mindset for the purposes of population control and slavery. Many cultures recognized more than two genders prior to colonialism.
(I am bi-racial, Dutch and Indonesian-Dutch. Indonesia was a Dutch colony called “the Dutch-Indies” for 350 years. I was born and raised in Leiden, The Netherlands.)
And heterosexual men generally support to systematically keep women down in order to avoid female rejection and competition.
I also know there is a lot of money to be made in pharmaceuticals, and I personally don’t intend to make this business any richer than it already is.
I am however not claiming that gender dysphoria, whether social dysphoria or body dysphoria, is not a real and valid something, which can most definitely require medical attention and which should not ever be denied, and regardless of age as well.
I’ve only ever experienced social dysphoria myself, that is society, as well as legal systems, projecting and enforcing gender expectations, socially constructed “gender roles” basically, onto me, which do not fit my own sense of gender at all, as I experience myself to have a male gender, and am perfectly happy with my androgynous looking female body. And for these reasons I define myself as a trans-masculine, gender nonconforming lesbian.
There are however plenty of cis-women who have no desire to fulfill any gender role expectations neither, and recognize these expectations to be socially constructed, and primarily by men, to control women, women’s minds and women’s bodies.
By the way, I’m also not suggesting only people with gender dysphoria should transition, or that they should at all, or that people who don’t experience dysphoria should not. Any individual has the right to alter/improve their bodies as they see fit.
And so I’m only maintaining that we live in a heavily conditioned reality, one which should be questioned deeply and thoroughly.
I identify as Queer/Lesbian and Trans-Masculine/Gender Nonconforming. Socially that mostly translates into, I’m a Gender Nonconforming Lesbian. (I personally do not wish to transition.)
And for the record, I identify as female, and gender nonconforming, despite my male gender. My pronouns are: They/Them/Theirs.
Constitutional Rights (with their basis in the Age of Enlightenment, or Reason, as well as the logic of the Greek philosophers,) stem from the understanding that human beings have long term memory and therefore the capacity to form judgements, including morally, from experience, and through critical thinking. And that human beings are individuals first, and judge, and are to be judged, as such.
Our Basic Rights to Life, (not as a personal guarantee but as a principle, and not just as a means to survive but as the right to a dignified existence,) Liberty, (the only way to choose to have a dignified existence,) Private Property (of personhood, as an individual; that is private property of one’s own mind, one’s own body, and the fruits of one’s own labor,) and the Pursuit of Happiness, (not automatic, guaranteed happiness but an opportunity to seek what makes us happy,) stem from our capacity to reason, to think critically, as individuals first, and not purely from our basic needs for survival.
Men and women alike have a need far greater than the need to survive, and through the procreation of the species in particular, (which is only a biological function,) and want happiness, (a psychological function, and which can ultimately be summed up into “a dignified life” exactly,) and each should have the full and unhindered right (without harming others) under the law to pursue it.
