I’m demigirl and demiboy or something.
Some kind of bigender, nonbinary, but not quite trans masc tho?
Trans chicks make perfect sense to me, but cis dudes and cis chicks don’t, at all.
Trans dudes are like, fine? But not me?
I understand the logic but I don’t want people to look at me and go “Manly guy dude mc mannerson. Bob.”
I want them to look at me and go “JFC are vey going on about thiamine depletion in the ocean again? Ver tirades don’t get anyone onboard. I’ve told vem time and again.”
(I’d say femboy, but uh. Y’know. Safe search that one with strict filtering if you’re curious and not at work etc.)

Weird conversation today in the playgroup I go to with our child: Some parents started discussing the body height of their children, all born in 2022. (Nothing wrong with that, there is often a bit of good-natured comparison.) One of the 'girls' turned out to be shorter than one of the 'boys'.
Someone said: Oh, it's fine for a girl to be short. Someone else said: I wouldn't want a girl to be tall. If they'd find out that my daughter might grow six feet tall or more, I'd try to prevent that. Others chimed in by saying that being tall as a girl can be a disadvantage both at school and later in life.
I was just like: WTF 😱🤯😱🤯
Does gender #binarism really go as far as that? A 'boy' has to be tall. A 'girl' has to be short. And if any body dares to deviate from that, we are going to use hormones to enforce the correct body height.
The only thing I managed to say was: Our child is going to be as tall as their body wants to grow. There are short people and there are tall people and either is fine for any gender.

CW: Digressions about how society conditions our own physical body
I feel that most people don't understand what I'm meaning when I say that sex is a social construct just like gender. I've been sometimes replied that I was just "misunderstanding" the separation between sex and gender and then offered the most average definition of gender, as if I had no idea what I am talking about. They insist that sex is "just something that undeniably exist" (as if gender was unreal lol). The fact that I'm defending that both sex and gender are social constructs does not mean that "they don't exist". They do, as social institutions, not as some biological metaphysical noumenon. Biology as a whole is socially construed, and it is socially construed in so many different ways.
First of all, what do we understand by "biology"? We can be referring to a science, or either we can be referring to the object of that science itself, that is, biology as "the biological fact". Or, at least, these are the two most common realities people point out when utilizing the word "biology" (worth noting that most people using "biology" to defend their views are clueless on the field and don't even reach an elementary understanding of it). The reality is that both biology as a form of knowledge and biology "as a fact" are co-constitutive to each other, that is, the science conceptually creates its own object of study and artificially separates it from other fields of nature in order to analyze it, often times in a way that reproduces the social division of labor. After all, science is made by a "scientific community" that is integrated in society as a whole and is not alien to power mechanisms and the flows of capital.
But, for the moment, let's accept this division between the science and its object. Biology is not only socially construed in as far as any possible mode of knowledge is a human construct. The "biological fact" itself *is socially construed too*, especially when we are talking about sex. There are a lot of ways in which our modes of life affect our biology: diet, modification of the environment, socialization, sexual selection of partners, gender division of labor, direct physical transformations on the own body through perforations or iterative activities like going to the gym, ballet and certain sports... And all of these aspects through which our biology is adequated to our social practices are thrusted by sex and gender conceptions. In fact, sex and gender are by far the most pervasive institutions conditioning the "biological fact" of our lives. Our physical bodies *do not* exist as separated from the modes of production, societal norms and values: they are embedded into it and social institutions show their reproduction by altering our bodies; the imposed sexed and gendered body becomes a reification of the oppressions constricting it. Therefore, we have that biology is humanly created 1) as a form of knowledge and scientific discourse and 2) as the physical fact itself of our bodies.
Our bodies are moulded by the functions we enshrine them for. If we learn to interact with our body through sexed conceptions of our own nature, then we will build sex itself into us. And there is tangible evidence for what I advocate: the sexual variation of the bodies manifest differently in different cultures. Not all societies reproduce the exagerated heigh difference between amab and afab people like Sourthern European countries do (amabs are like 10cm taller on average than afabs in Spain), which is probably a product of traditionally socially enforced sexual selection of partners and the construction of social criteria for the desirability of bodies. Binary bodies are socially imposed.
Biology and society are not separated things, our bodies and what we do with them are co-constitutive.
We should be conscious of the extent to which society transforms us, which will also be a potentiality for our self-determination once we live in free association. Some day.
