I'm curious as to what agendas you specifically mean there.
sorry if I sounded like a conspiracy theorist or something like that, but there are certain movements that are redefining certain words to suit their ideology. Unfortunately most social sciences are prone to this, since the object and subject of study cannot be separated.
As for what agendas I mean, you may be surprised that I was not referring to the LGBT community at all, but to radical feminists (and similar political movements), and lets leave it at that.
I have already stated in a previous post what I think that gender is (for me it is intrinsically linked to the biological function), if anything is really a social construct, that is the gender identity, not the gender itself.
Having said that, I also would like to add that I actually support (as I have stated previously) the idea that anyone has the right to be identified as they please.
To quote myself:
Having said that, if you are a man that feels like a woman, and desires to be addressed in that manner, I don't have any problem, and I will do that. In fact, I don't really mind to use any personal pronoum, and acknowledge any gender identity anyone desires (but don't expect from me to know at first sight).
Marry whoever you like, love anyone you want, as long as you are consenting adults go ahead.
Am I right? I don't know, but so far that is the conclusion that I have. Can it change? yes, nothing is set in stone, I like to consider myself open minded.
