You are dismissive of so many variables is why. A glance in the mirror doesn’t even begin to solve half of and frankly down plays the other.

You are not insulting me, by the by.

You are the one that said those traits listed above are feminine. To me those combine traits translate to one word. Sweet

Most people not unlike yourself miss the point that sexual identity is merely categorizing where you stand and what you like.

Not just gender identity, I assume?

I can choose my age too?

The topic of Proverb 31 is the ideal woman described through her activity as a wife, a helper as defined in Gen 2:18.

Even so, this woman takes an active part in caring for her family.

She is not a fragile passive thing.
 
What is special about gender identity?

If someone doesn’t feel their age, they’re stuck with it but if they don’t feel their gender they’re not stuck with that?

Time is construct of the mind we agree on. Gender is about the self.

Nope. This is my post. How is it dismissive?

It’s a symptom of relativism to be offended by simplicity and directness.

A human being is a unity of body and soul. The body is an integral part of a person’s humanity and reveals a person’s humanity. So a person’s humanity can be observed, grounded, and affirmed by…observation.
A mirror reflects human nature for those who are struggling. And other people reflect human nature as well. We derive meaning and identity from ourselves, but always in the context of others. The male body doesn’t make complete sense without the female body. We discover ourselves by observing others.

Even if the person is struggling with an issue of identification, dealing with a problem requires dealing with life as it is . This process of acceptance is unavoidable, and acceptance of reality is the only launching point for growth and change.
So the admonition to consult a mirror is wise, and is simple and direct.

You are free not to address my post and cherry pick it, fundamentalist style. That is your option.
You are not fooling anyone that we are being simplistic and dismissive. You simply don’t care to confront the discussion honestly.
No problem.

You made a simplistic statement.
I pointed out it’s a gross over simplification.

People transgender for reasons due to genetic, social and mental reasons. None of which are solved by the mirror.

You are the one with insulting gross over simplification. Not me.
You may not agree with the reasons, you may have objections. Right or wrong but at the end of the day people should all be treated with dignity and if you want to boil it down to a glance in the mirror don’t expect praise or positive engagement.
 
So there is nothing special about gender v age

Just one random aspect of self we get to subjectively define
 
You like making me repeat myself. Age is agreed on by society. Gender is defined by you.

If we used a different calendar your age would change.

Some 50 year olds feel 40

Other 50 year olds feel 70

Subjective age is clearly not agreed on by society

Remember we’re talking about subjective age just like subjective gender

So back to the question: why can’t I define my age but can define my gender?

40 years of the encouraging females to express masculine traits (self-reliant, defends own beliefs, aggressive, acts as a leader) and males to express feminine traits (yielding, helpful, sensitive to the needs of others, gentle)

Is there reason to think that these traits are gender exclusive?
 
They usually say “sex” is biological male/female and “gender” is subjective male/female

But in reality they’re the same
 
The units of age are agreed upon by society. I have been on this earth for the same amount of time whether you count it in years, seconds, or the average lifespans of gerbils.
