treatment of people independent of gender
I had, for some reason, associated the Left with the concept of ‘Gender Neutrality’. Multiple recent experiences have shown me this was a faulty assumption. It became most clear with the massive negative feedback I got when questioning why, in ‘killed even the women and children’, it is still in modern day considered worse to kill a woman than a man. But there was a hint the Left is not actually associated with gender neutrality right before when the Trump administration had made military testing Gender Neutral (same test for everyone independent of gender). I was surprised that decision came from the Right and also surprised the massive opposition was by lefty lemmys.
I know some species of birds have the genders become very different from each other and some, like Vultures, have females and males that are nearly indistinguishable. It, after-the-fact, makes sense to me that Gender Neutrality (treatment of people independent of gender) is potentially a different thing from the ‘Gender Rights’ fought for by the Left. Anyway, so I have been awoken recently to Gender Neutrality not actually being of the Left, acceptable to the Right, and I am most curious in which ideology ‘Gender Neutrality’ is the accepted ‘correct’ view. So
Which ideology is associated with “Gender Neutrality”?
edit: I do now see how Gender Neutrality is the removal of gender distinctions whereas the ideal of the Left is chooseable gender distinctions.
You’ve asked about ideology and yet have reductively started thinking of the issue as left v right.
If you actually want to look at different ideologies and their treatment of gender issues I’d start with humanism and trans-humanism. They come at gender neutrality from different points of view but arrive at the same answer, namely that people should be free to choose their own path.
Further, trans-humanists can be found across the left-right continuum from techno-libertarians (aka Silicon Valley CEOs) to solarpunks. This is why you won’t get anywhere by trying to arbitrarily turn this into a left v right debate.
nice info.
Tho also I specifically AM looking outside LeftRight, hence broadly asking of ideologies in general. I mention Left and Right because they are the ones I just experienced and know of. the general population of lemmy is describable as ‘generally left’; hence the term Left since that is the population I am observing and had previously erroneously attributed gender neutrality to. My expectation was someone would mention communism or socialism or rastafarianism or something else. I appreciate your response minus the hostility.
