Seder’s claims extended beyond mere deception; he argued that his stunt was a critique of society’s perception of gender, and by extension, of political ideologies. He spoke about the threats, scrutiny, and hostility he received initially—claiming that he feared for his safety—highlighting how contentious gender identity debates are today.
He also addressed the superficiality of gender transition, criticizing the notion that simply "going through the motions"—without hormone therapy or surgery—can be equated with authentic transformation. His point was that the societal recognition of gender does not necessarily reflect personal authenticity but is often driven by societal validation and perception.
