The same can be written up for any movement. Just a few examples:

Heritic equals handmaid Male is the new original sin Autogynophilia is the new degenerecy

Its tribalism you'll find in any movement.

If you were going to compare anything to "original sin" from a GC feminist perspective I think it would be male socialization but it's a bit of a stretch still

On the original subject, I find the idea of "gender identity" very similar to the idea that people have souls where their real personality resides and the physical body can be a prison stopping the soul from expressing itself the way it wants to.

TRAs love mantras and many all use the same phrases almost like they are little prayers that they learn.

"knowing" that you are on the "right side of history" is similar to "knowing" that you are "with God" or whatever.

Someone linked me this in the discord - I've really been appreciating it - it touches on that ultimately all women want is the freedom to be women and do their own thing - we want what you could call "negative rights" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7QXcYBgNIY&t=545s

Yeah, I enjoy that guy's videos and this is a good point and another way gender identity ideology is similar to religion. All other civil rights groups simply want specific additional rights to bring them to make them more equal. For better or worse though TRAs demand we see reality the way they do or at least pretend to go along with it and base our laws on their worldview. The same things religions in theocracies do. Maybe we should push to get gender identity recognized as a religion, sure it would mean giving their organizations tax-free status but it would also mean we would get protections for being secular :)

Hmmm... That's an interesting question, and a little depressing, how hard is it to start a religion in Canada?

I really have no idea. If Scientology can get recognized it can't be that hard though. and I think I heard Cathy Brennan made some pagan church built around GC feminism already (in the US, not Canada)

Found it! https://churchofwomensliberation.wordpress.com/

I'm going to apply! Not sure how active it is though... What's Cathy Brennan's TLDR? I've seen the name but don't quite grok it.

I don't know a lot about her besides that she is a lawyer and gender critical activist and someone TRAs complain about a lot. Here's her Youtube channel:

The church is an interesting idea as I don't think people can be fired and harrassed as much for things recognized as religious beliefs but I don't know I guess it depends on the jurisdiction.

Do tell us about it if you decide to join :)
