TRAs loveee to say that women getting boob jobs, laser hair removal, botox, filler, etc. and men getting gynecomastia surgery or hair transplants are all “gender affirming care” but every single one of those things is solely intended to help a person fit more neatly into gendered beauty standards and I just don’t understand how they don’t see that they’re fully telling on themselves. Like it’s one of the most blatant examples of their core belief that gender=superficial stereotypes and that their ideology is entirely based on reinforcing binary gender norms.
no one actually "transitions" into anything. you are still the same you. the only thing you can do is to mutilate your secondary (and even primary) sex characteristics and use synthetic hormones which ruin your health long term. this is extreme body modification, at best. it's genuinely laughable that anyone would still think that cosmetic surgeries and cutting off your tits or dick actually change who you are as a person. wake the fuck up. the time is now. the medical industry does not care about you. you are just a customer.
If we can all agree to call Robert Prevost by his new chosen name of Leo XIV then we can all call trans people by their chosen names. It’s not hard.
ive been trying for weeks to find the right way to say that, the way people my age (20s) nowadays, especially those who are very lefty in their ideology, speak about having children is fucked up
ultimately i think its just fucking rude and an overcorrection to the whole "women bear the children" part of living in society
honestly i can understand being scared of the biological parts of child bearing, i sure am, but acting like a spoiled brat and being all "i would never want to give up my freedom, i dont want a screaming pooping demon in my house, blah blah blah" its like ...its just a baby... its a little human. like you once were.
maybe yeah raising a child wouldnt fit in with your lifestyle.... but i sincerely doubt it, since these kinds of people dont do much with their lives it seems except be online and buy toys for themselves even though they're grown adults.... maybe yeah they shouldnt have kids then. just wish they would be less RUDE about it - and dont demonize women who do want kids!!!
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...

a woman is whoever wants to be one
lesbians have to unlearn their distaste for dick
womb renting is ok
being a mother and having children is gross though
trans women invented feminism and we owe everything to them
all such disgusting propaganda.
the thing that made me see the light re. gender ideology/trans rights movement was the whole “a woman is anyone who says they’re a woman” thing
because it doesn’t make sense. there’s no universe in which is makes sense. youre not asked to just not define something in any other arena but this issue. i just imagined if we were asked to view other things in the world this way. it’s crazy. things have to have definitions.
but these people do have a definition, even if they won’t say it. they think a woman is just someone who wears skirts and makeup. that’s why they think a woman is anyone who wants to be one. 5 year olds have a better understanding of reality.
it’s all just good old fashioned misogyny. by this logic, if a woman doesn’t wear makeup or present super feminine does that make them a man? you ask questions and all of a sudden it’s [insert sputtering TRA word salad here]
it really is just a worship of the binary. masquerading as something revolutionary. and people are frothing at the mouth to defend it. acting like it’s a human rights issue. the biggest fucking con ever.
i simply do not respect 'non binary' people. You worked out that gender stereotypes are bullshit but all you took from it is 'i am a special interesting third thing, unlike all you boring peasants'
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 also think for the nb's / they/thems, all their obsession with gender and supposed breaking of its norms is totally a replacement for a personality where there isn't much of one. i know thats a common refrain nowadays, "get a real personality" but it's totally true in this case.
because if you're sooo outside the gender binary, then why the hell do you talk about it all the time!!!
nonbinaries and they/thems who are female and were raised as girls do tend to have the weirdest complexes. they're always like "i hate pink so i must not be a girl" or "i hate painting my nails so i must not be a girl" are you dumb. like genuinely, are you stupid. i went through a phase of 'i wish i was a boy' but it absolutely had nothing to do with superficial things like nail painting and everything to do with "menstruating is kind of scary at first" and "oh shit i really could become pregnant" ..... i feel like almost every woman has gone thru that.
even the straightest men paint their nails now. i feel like its never been more normal for women to go out barefaced, in baggy jeans, and still be....women. so. youre going to have to find some other thing to channel your internalized misogyny through, babes.
