x is true because x is true!
christians: the bible says it's real because the bible says it's true!
tras: transgender individuals are: (the gender they identify with) because they say they are the gender they identify with!
we don't understand how x works
christians: god works in mysterious ways
tras: only people can define the gender they are. (only women know what women are)
ostracization from the community
christians: so and so is an atheist/gay. is walking down a worldly path. we can't associate with them anymore .
tras: TERF! THIS PERSON IS A TERF! BLOCK THEM!
demanding access into places
christian's: we demand that creationism be taught in public school. that the 10 commandments be showcased in every school!
tras: trans women deserve to be in women's sports! trans women deserve to be in locker rooms! trans women deserve to be in female only spaces!!
strict gender roles
christian's: a woman must be submissive, feminine, present herself in a way that is pleasing to god, and must present herself as non aggressive, gentle, be focused on her husband and children
tras: if a person identifies as a woman they MUST be submissive! they must be emotional! they're very soft spoken and passive, and love being soft, and have a gender non conforming/feminine fashion so they MUST be a woman!
persecution complex:
atheist: i believe you have the right to practice your religion but i have a problem with...
christians: WE'RE THE MOST PERSECUTED MINORITY! WE'RE BEING SILENCED INTO NOT SHARING OUR FAITH! THIS PERSECUTION MEANS GOD IS COMING! THE END IS NEAR THE RAPTURE IS HAPPENING!
radfem: if you'd like to dress in a gender non conforming way, then fine. but i have a problem with...
tras: WE'RE IN STAGE 7 OF GENOCIDE! WE'RE BEING DIVIDED AS A COMMUNITY! OUR OWN KIN IS TURNING AGAINST US! THIS IS WHY SUICIDE RATES ARE SO HIGH!!!
if you are x then you are x
christian's: you need the faith the size of a mustard seed to be a Christian.
tras: if you even think you're trans than you're trans
flipping the script once you're in the group
christian's: well actually women need to be pure for their husbands, follow traditional gender roles, reject who they are to be worthy in gods eyes and instill this belief that you are an inherently unloveable person!
tras: you're trans? oh wait, now you can go through years of hormone therapy treatment! you can start voice training to be perceived as the gender you've chosen! then if you feel comfortable you can have surgeries to look your identity!
A lot of animals don't breed when the conditions will be unfavourable to the baby. Some human pregnancies I see these days, I'm just like wow rodents beat you at thinking......
If you are young do not be swayed by the whole "identity" shitck. It is a mumbo jumbo word salad to make people feel special, it is purely egoic, nonsensical, and sometimes fandom induced grown up play pretend. Notice how EVERYTHING has become an identity? Mental illness (sometimes physical), sex, sexuality... It all implies that this thing here, yeah, that thing? It can be identified into, you can "become" it on a knee jerk reaction and NOBODY will (at least in their fantasies) question it. And so far this is how it is! Combine it with internet shushing everyone up for questioning the validity of the said identities with threats of accusing them of being problematic and justifying wrong identification as "soul searching" or "exploration" and here you have it! Perfect business plan!
Not to mention how this whole thing has taken off with mental illness, and it becoming a new identity, a shiny, new, fresh, counter culture and subversive label you can PROUDLY wear for no reason. The only "gross" symptoms people managed to normalise were not being able to get up from bed and wash yourself, two of which are very easy to fake. Some people, and you have to admit it at this point, use the whole mental health awareness thing as new technique to learn new ways of manipulation and faking it. And if you question ANYTHING you are ableist. The whole "Men go to therapy to manipulate better" is true, but it also applies to a bunch of people here.
Another heterosexual humiliation ritual in which women attempt to “bash” men by publicly admitting to sleeping with them. No wonder men have humongous egos, why wouldn’t they? You can resemble the Mucinex Man monster, stink from not wiping properly, make empty promises, and women will derail their lives for you.
Women give up everything in the hopes that men will fulfill fairytale promises. We will call men ridiculous for believing pornography accurately reflects reality, but let women forever be influenced by Disney films they watched as children. Just as women aren’t comparable to the adult actresses being paid to perform fantasies, neither are men going to be Prince Charming.
Women are going to continue auditioning themselves and pledging allegiance to users, so ignore the blame game they participate in once it inevitably ends. Remember this is a bonding activity that women in relationships partake in, seeking to normalize such behavior. If female socialization is to be undone, no more making light of terrible life choices, or publicly announcing stupidity.
Women will practice and uphold patriarchal beauty standards they personally conform to. It’s all fun and games when you’re the preferred fetish. Body types, hair colors and textures, lip size, skin tones, etc are all ways in which women are ranked. Egos are bruised when different models go in and out of style. Not because those women want to forgo such ideals altogether, but because they’re unable to embody the latest trend. Let thee without a makeup brush make the first accusation of brainwashing.
A “feminist” former model turned influencer, has dedicated her retirement to preaching about the beauty industry. Writing paragraphs about how her efforts to get dolled up resulted in no dating offers, because men were interested in younger women. This then propelled her into calling out unrealistic beauty standards. The same standards she enjoyed gleefully in youth. Citing she misses “turning heads” and ignoring the hypocrisy of her first marriage to a much older man. Her ultimate goal being a societal shift into including older women into the category of “sexy.”
Women with faces full of filler and glue adhesive on their eyelids will claim it’s ridiculous to rate women based on body shapes. Women who buy undergarments with the purpose of pushing their breast together have something to say about butts being the new thing. Women who sell out Sephoras in college complain about the pressure of maintaining youth with each passing birthday. The body positivity movement is filled with cognitive dissonance. “This standard is bad! Wait, what do you mean my hair dye and eyeliner are included in that? It’s not that deep and I do it for myself anyway.”
When women are “winning” the patriarchal game of penises and empty promises, they will do anything to maintain their status. Social capital is kept through presenting yourself as sexually available to heterosexual males. That is the foundation on which all beauty standards are built upon, regardless of what women tell themselves. Competitiveness is the sole purpose behind women’s picking and choosing of which aesthetic preference’s should be maintained. Remember, women are hierarchical too, and heterosexual world dominance is perpetuated through pecking order.
I’ll take claims of unfair beauty standards seriously when I see women rejecting ALL of them in mass. Until then, the same women shaving off their body hair can keep begging the pedo’s they’re appealing to for less judgment on their ass size/shape. Every woman wants to be the exception, the one who accepts patriarchy’s “prizes,” but escapes its eventual expiration date. There’s no having it both ways. Men cannot be both your oppressors and saviors. Perform and play dress up for the penis, then graciously bow and exit the stage when it demands the next act.
