Gender Discomfort Does Not Mean Gender Is Fluid
In today’s culture, feelings have become the new holy scripture. If someone feels a certain way, the rest of society is expected to bow, clap, and change the dictionary to match. One of the clearest examples of this modern absurdity is the claim that gender is “fluid.” We’re told that because some people feel uncomfortable in their bodies, the entire concept of male and female must be tossed out the window and replaced with a pick-and-mix identity buffet.
Let’s be clear: some people absolutely struggle with their gender identity. They may feel they don’t fit into expectations, or they may experience genuine distress about their biological sex. That’s a real and difficult experience. But acknowledging discomfort is not the same as redefining reality. Just because someone feels awkward in their skin doesn’t mean human biology has suddenly become optional.

Personal Struggles vs. Universal Truths
Discomfort doesn’t rewrite categories. A person might hate being short, but that doesn’t make “height” fluid. Someone might wish they had a different skin color, but it doesn’t make “race” a choose-your-own-adventure. The same goes for gender. There’s a difference between how someone feels about themselves and the unchanging facts of biology.
But in the current climate, we’re told that the individual’s struggle isn’t just personal—it’s everyone’s problem. If someone feels uncomfortable, then everyone else must update their language, their pronouns, their laws, and even their bathrooms. It’s like saying: “I feel different, therefore reality is wrong, not me.”
The Inflation of Identities
Once you declare gender “fluid,” the number of genders multiplies faster than cryptocurrency scams. Male and female aren’t enough; now there are dozens, even hundreds of labels—each one treated as sacred, untouchable, and worthy of state recognition. What used to be a private internal struggle has become a public political movement.
The irony? In trying to validate every possible feeling, society ends up cheapening all of them. If everyone has their own “gender,” then gender itself becomes meaningless. It’s like handing out trophies to every kid on the team: soon, the trophy doesn’t symbolise achievement at all.
Why This Matters
You might ask, “Who cares? Let people identify however they want.” Fair enough—until it collides with the real world. We now see debates about men competing in women’s sports, children being told they can “switch” genders before they even understand puberty, and institutions rewriting language as if “mother” and “father” are offensive words. All of this traces back to the simple confusion between personal discomfort and universal truth.
If someone is uncomfortable in their body, they deserve compassion and support. But that does not mean the rest of society has to participate in the delusion that gender itself is fluid. That’s the line no one wants to draw anymore, because drawing lines is considered judgmental. Yet without lines, reality becomes a free-for-all.
The Cynical Bottom Line
At the heart of the “gender is fluid” narrative is a cultural obsession with feelings over facts. It’s not enough to say, “You’re struggling, and we’ll help you.” No, the new demand is: “You’re struggling, therefore biology must bow to your feelings, and anyone who disagrees is a bigot.”
This is not compassion. It’s coercion. It’s not progress. It’s mass confusion dressed up as liberation.
People have always wrestled with their identities. But never before did entire governments, corporations, and institutions feel compelled to reshape language, law, and reality to match every individual’s discomfort. That’s the dangerous leap.
Discomfort is human. Fluid reality is nonsense.
Conclusion
Gender discomfort is real, but gender is not fluid. Society would be far healthier if it could hold both truths at once: some people struggle, but reality remains what it is. Pretending otherwise doesn’t heal anyone—it just erodes our ability to tell the difference between fact and fiction.
