Oh damn, you just reminded me of something way more controversial I forgot about.

I remember when I was younger, maybe about 20 or so, and I was still questioning whether or not I was trans. I was living with an armchair-anarchist at the time, and he frequently lended me controversial leftist literature to "broaden my horizons" and whatever lol

Well, there was one book that stuck with me more than anything else, simply called "Work!" and was all about dismantling the inherent perceptions of capitalist bias in labor. It had a chapter on nearly every aspect of society, and touched on how these things were impacted and molded by the systems around it.

And then I hit the chapter Gender. And I'll never forgot this passage.

To them, sex change surgery is just yet another industry to be marketed towards the proletariat, another product with which you can fix yourselves. For in a world with such concrete gender norms, capitalism would have you believe that these roles are more natural than your own bodies.
