Radial feminists often seek to reject femininity, I think they end up in masculinity, but then I think they are often drawn to masculinity. That's natural.

But the pattern appears of gc lesbians being attracted to expressing masculinity, not caring what men do as long as they stay away. GC gay males being attracted to masculine men, and not "pretending to be women." Straight GC are down for all of that, liberation for women and gender conformity for men.

The trans debate itself is gendered.

This creates a pattern in the sides.

LOL, this is like saying that all the people in the world fit in into one of two groups: red wine drinkers or white wine drinkers. When the reality is, a whole lot of people on earth don't drink wine at all. Plus, a good portion of the world's population at any given moment are too young to drink wine, even if they live in wine-appreciating cultures and will grow up later on to have a taste for it.

Just because you personally see the world through lenses that are hyper-focused on masculinity and femininity doesn't mean everyone else does. Please stop projecting your own views, preoccupations and hangups onto others - particularly women whose vantage point(s) and views are very different to yours. From your posting history, I have the impression you don't have a clue what radical feminists, a lot of other women and many "GC" men think.

Well I'm glad I can still entertain you.

Aren't we all hyper focused on gender here? Doesn't gender critical want to talk about masculinity and femininity?

I've chatted with gc plenty times to know and respectfully report their opinions.

No and no. People on the gender critical side are critical of gender, which we see as oppressive and limiting, and we are critical of gender ideology and genderism. Your side is the one that wants to talk about masculinity and femininity all the time, not us.

I personally find masculinity and femininity to be pretty boring - and being "hyper focused on gender" IMO leads to migraines, myopia and madness.

Not true, there are trans inclusive gender crits. We believe gender is unnecessary but that it is possible to have non-harmful versions of gender before it’s eventually abolished. Like people who don’t believe in marriage but aren’t militant about all of their friends divorced. Change takes time

What exactly is a non-harmful gender norm or role?

How can there be any sort of system that says x object/trait/aesthetic is for woman and y object/trait/aesthetic is for men that isn’t reductive and harmful?

Those aren’t the sort of systems I’m talking about. It’s more like people having subjective associations with things due to instincts and socialization and using artificial labels to categorize things in a personal way while not assuming that others share the same definitions as you.

Literal word salad.

You don’t believe in psychological associations like smells to memory or stuff like that?

[–]HouseplantWomen who disagree with QT are a different sex 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Of course I believe in memory and olfactory senses. Subjective associations and systems don’t have any effect on objective reality like one’s body. Personal systems of associations can still be wrong and based on sexism.

Women who reject femininity are not masculine. They are neutral. The patriarchy has labelled anything neutral and normal as property of men, because women are seen as foreign subhumans. You have been explained this difference before many times, shut your mouth, and then merely returned later to parrot the exact same things as if you suffered brain damage and amnesia.
