im still working on this pet theory, but i think its interesting that gender ideology has become so rigid at a time when extremely literal thinking is at an all time high
and what i mean by extremely literal thinking is how people cant seem to grasp nuance anymore. they can't grasp grey areas anymore, everyone thinks in black and white. despite all the "gender is a spectrum" "sexuality is a spectrum" stuff people cant seem to actually think that way. we're living in a time when people need to google "[film] ending explained", when people dont engage with complexity, when they dont actually engage in critical thinking.
so it's no wonder there's this whole movement that just reifies the sex and gender binary, even though people think it's doing the opposite.
it’s time for white liberals to give up their softly bigoted ways of thinking
then again it’s not really that soft when you say with your whole face on camera “black people don’t know how to use the internet” WHAT!
a critique of radfems i always see on here is “oh they’re just so obsessed with biology, oh they’re just so obsessed with their period and stuff, they reduce women to their biology, ew”
which i haven’t seen that in that reductive way , and well. can you blame em for being “obsessed” with biology? in a world where women are oppressed based on biology? where our biological functions are seen as gross and bedeviled and shit?!
so uh yeah maybe we should have a little more celebration of our biology.
running from observable reality gets you nowhere.
Imagine telling disabled children they're born in the wrong body or born the wrong way. Imagine telling autistic children they're born wrong. You wouldn't. But gnc kids? Yes those kids are born in the wrong body, let's stunt their growth and mutilate their bodies before they've even reached adulthood or before their brains have had the chance to mature yet, just because they didn't like sexist stereotypes. It's like a punishment. Punishment for not falling in line and obeying the patriarchal gender roles. You either conform or go through the meatgrinder and conform to the other mold. I cannot view it as anything other than that, a punishment.
so much of modern liberalism is propped up by the most logically unsound arguments ever.
but they act like the smart ones with all the answers. always talking about "we're on the right side of history"
hmm yeah, easy to claim when you just never talk about the times you weren't...
I really believe there's some sort of "emperor's new clothes" phenomenon happening with Gen Z discoursers where they're too afraid to question the logic of some of the discourse being thrown at them for fear of appearing to be unwoke so they just blindly parrot it not to be excluded by their peers
i can’t imagine going through all that schooling and training and being like yeah let’s freeze kids’ puberty based on shaky, unsettled science. let’s treat this one issue differently than every other mental health/medical issue. we’re going to take the feelings of this group of mentally unwell people as medical facts … why!!!
the valedictorian of my high school class is now a doctor and she posts TRA stuff on her instagram all the time. scary shit
I genuinely cannot believe there are thousands of straight girls calling themselves faggots and pretending to be dudes because they're obsessed with the imaginary dudes that other straight girls made up.
the transrace vs transgender thing is sooo interesting to me. like they really just picked which one would be okay and which one wouldn’t be. it’s okay for a man to put on a dress and makeup and decide he’s a woman and we all need to shut up and support him and let him in to woman’s spaces but the white girl putting clips on her eyes at night and saying she’s korean is totallyyyyy different and bad. and the tras can’t even answer what the difference is they just dance around it
