How would you put into words what gender means to you apart from societal gender roles and expectations? (lemmy.world)

I know that it has significant meaning to me but I struggle putting it into words to explain it to other people (especially other dya cis people). So like a few years ago I was thinking about if I may be trans femme. I have since realised that no, actually I was just struggling with it for a while because I don't relate to the gender roles and expectations society puts on men. I now identify more strongly with being a man than ever before, and I love being a man in a gender-way. I just absolutely hate being a man in a "what role men have in society"-way.

Well, I just went to reply to someone's comment on mine and found that my comment no longer exists.

Why was it removed?

Lemmy, just as censoring as Reddit if not even worse. Yay.

If you want an uncensored instance/community, then don't just whinge about it, set one up.

Could be because I reported it for being discriminating towards non-binary people because you negated their existence.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I'd like to humbly request you not do that. I like to see the comments of bigots, so I can vote them down and/or mock them.

But also, sometimes comments are misunderstood or have a good point among the bullshit. I feel like we should err on the side of leaving rather than censoring.

It's your post so it's your call, just giving my $0.02.

Well done on completely missing the point of what I said.
