Why does anyone give a shit what Sylvia Plath, a woman who died before being trans was even legal, thinks about what it means to be a girl?

Also, she committed suicide herself, so I have no idea why you think she’s a good person to bring up.

Also, I think it’s hilarious you’re bringing up genetics in one comment as a definition of a woman and then bringing up a fucking poet as the definer in this one.

She lived in a different time: I’m sure if many of Gen Z lived in her time, a few of them might consider suicide; and my point is the gender dysphoria among girls might be due to sexism that’s still in society: hence the cure might not be becoming a boy, but rather reduce the sexism.

And the scientific basis of your hypothesis is what Sylvia Plath once said?

She said being a girl, or female, can be restraining, particularly over 50 years ago.

No.

I’m presuming that we have sexism in our society and it’s affecting girls at least somewhat, but hey, what do I know?
