Could gender fluidity be a sign of evolution?

The book “The origin of the species” is a very vague book concerning humankind. The book was written for non-specialist readers and attracted widespread interest upon its publication. Darwin was already highly regarded as a scientist, so his findings were taken seriously and the evidence he presented generated scientific, philosophical, and religious discussion. The debate over the book contributed to the campaign by T. H. Huxley and his fellow members of the X Club to secularise science by promoting scientific naturalism. Within two decades, there was widespread scientific agreement that evolution, with a branching pattern of common descent, had occurred, but scientists were slow to give natural selection the significance that Darwin thought appropriate. During "the eclipse of Darwinism" from the 1880s to the 1930s, various other mechanisms of evolution were given more credit. With the development of the modern evolutionary synthesis in the 1930s and 1940s, Darwin's concept of evolutionary adaptation through natural selection became central to modern evolutionary theory, and it has now become the unifying concept of the life sciences.

More likely I think it’s a mental health issue, particularly in western cultures.

There’s little or no demographics of gender fluidity in the third world.

This is why we need to be teaching about trans issues in school. It's insane that people think gender non-conformity is new.

@BohemianBabe What we need to be teaching people in school is the skills they need to find gainful employment and live happily lives. The rest the should be allowed to decide for themselves.

Same goes for religion.children shouldn’t be baptised until they are old enough to ask for it. It’s just indoctrination.
@Morvoren So we shouldn't teach things like philosophy and sociology? Shouldn't we want people to be as educated as possible?

@Morvoren I'm not saying we should force people into specific career paths, people can pick whatever job they want. I'm saying people should be educated.

Look at you just now. You thought that gender fluidity is a mental health issue in the West. You even thought there was no gender fluidity in the third world. You're so ignorant about gender and culture, that you fell for fascist propaganda. If you were more educated, maybe that wouldn't have happened.

@BohemianBabe Maybe, but in the area I live this issue comes below social inequality, diminishing access to healthcare, excessive mass tourism, and housing shortages it’s not really a priority for me to find out.
@Morvoren That's why it should be taught in schools, as should sociology and economics, so we know how to solve those other problems too.

@BohemianBabe Thanks for your opinion.

I think if someone were in survival mode, nothing else would matter.
@Punches But even then, there is lots of gender fluidity in the third world.

@BohemianBabe I suppose it is possible. Don't tell the anti-trans that though. You know how sensitive they are about the stringent gender standards they grew up with.

I am not sure why they are so concerned about how others live their lives.

It is funny how some cisgender people are so proud of being a man or a woman, like it is some big accomplishment.
@Punches I really think it's just that the establishment uses trans people as a scapegoat distraction from economic issues. It was the same thing with gay people, women's rights, Catholics, and Muslims at various points in history.
