the gender police

Of course there is gender (the one you are born with, more rigorously termed "sex") and there is Gender. The first doesn't change, but the second one is mutable. Without a sense of shame, we would not worry about Gender at all. We would all do as we pleased, dress as we wanted to, without concern for how others perceived us.

But, we have Gender. We have cultural clothing to cover up our naturalness. We clothe ourselves in it because we are ashamed of being natural:

Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. genesis: 3-7

See how we directly equate naturalness with sinfulness?

Which maketh me wonder: Those gender police -- those ascetic priests of the current era -- what is it that they are trying to cover up?

When they trumpet the necessity of "masculinity", aren't they also betraying the fact that it is something for which they feel ashamed?

Otherwise, why the fervour for social reinforcement of gender roles?
