There was a while in my life that I could have sworn I was going to remain a virgin. 🙂

My apologies, everyone; I should have shared the link with English subtitles!

No worries

Hardly any left, since women are now legally able to be more independent.

Young Albanian girls are/were forced marriages to older men. Freedom to vote, drive, earn money or own property were only for men. A family suddenly without a male would lose everything. For that reason some became Burrnesha, sworn virgins, biological females who chose to take on the identity of a man for life. Some likely non-binary anyway and may have been most comfortable with that.

The position they take may be interpreted as gender being social construct in the true sense.

Who believes that “sworn virgin” nonsense? How do they explain it?

Challenge them with, “If your god gave you everything, he gave your body the ability to enjoy sexual pleasure.”
