Human Right no 31 - The Right to Be who You Are

I think they should add a new human right... the people who wrote the first ones.

Human Right no 31 - It is a human right to be

In our world today we have people referred to as Gender dysphoric but I really believe we as society are really the dysphoric ones.

It is true that physically we are all male or female. It is also true that due to our different biological make up females will always be mothers and males have the hardware to be fathers.

Gender should also be as simple as our biology or our physical make up.

Unfortunately as society historically and today we burden gender with

• names e.g. John VS Joan, Andrew VS Andrea - anyway you get the point
• roles e.g all women can cook like my mum, all men are aggressive, 
• and attributes e.g. men don't cry, men are womanisers/players, women are gentle etcetera

that are not necessary. We make the people who do not conform or fit this binary to feel they are either not normal or that they were born in the wrong body, or that they need to get a sex change in order to fit in to either of the two binaries.

The unfortunate outcome is that many times these individuals after a sex change and hormone therapy realize they have changed their body just to fit in to our societal dysphoria or binary. So they lose what was originally truly part of them to fit in to our burdens in terms of roles, appearance, behaviour and other norms that we have aggressively ascribed to male or female people and set as a measure of masculinity and femininity.

In my world with my newly created "Human Right" Andrej Pejic is as much man as "The Rock" even if he is less muscular, wears a dress and make up in the course of his work or his life... then to me he is a man in a dress not a man who needs to become a woman to wear a dress.

In my world Lea T above would still model Givenchy's line and walk the streets in dresses and heels without having to feel the pressure to change sex.

In my newly conceived world Caster Semenya will not  have to take a test to show she is a girl - she is as much a girl as Megan Young.

In my world you can be a bad cook and a great mother. In my world you don't have to be an aggressive man to be an high achiever or an awesome CEO.

So anyway enough about me and my new human right. If you didn't know what human rights exist. Here is a short video showing you all about the 30 Human Rights.
