He teeters on the edge of reason but has so many ties to trans ideology that they hold him back. Sometimes these types actually get it and agree that gender doesn't exist, but once they realise that that is what GC people have been saying all along they ty to spin it around. They then say it is GCs who are supportive of strict gender stereotypes and that they are the enlightened ones who came up with the idea of abolishing gender. Their blind spot must be the size of the sun.

Same, crazy how they're so obsessed with analyzing their "gender identity" (made up of stereotypes and shallow ideas about fashion, makeup, hairstyles) but then turn around and accuse us of being the regressive ones? All because we follow a feminism that actually wants to free us from these constraints. No, I don't feel more womanly when I make a choice to put on lipstick and concealer that day, it's color on my face, that doesn't change my identity. It's the logical other side to not letting others tell me I need to wear lipstick to look presentable as a woman.

Similar to how we're arguing that women encounter sexism because of our actual sex, how we're born, our reproductive organs, and then they turn around and act like we reduce women to the uterus. So we ask, then what is sexism based on? "How you present", they'll answer, or "what gender you were assigned". Bullshit, like female infants, toddlers, young girls all over the world, should've just known to present gender more neutrally (???) when they encounter sexism, abuse, assaults because of being born with a vagina. It's all pure projection and classic DARVO.

I saw that very often, mostly from NB. That "refusing our non-binary special gender, gender critical people are supporting gender stereotypes!". While in reality it is other way around, the only fact that they are "non-binary" means that there is something binary, and if they are "different from other genders" means that those "other genders" have some stereotyped boundaries, otherwise NB would not be "out of boundaries of genders".

I sat up a bit with better posture in my chair as I was reading the first paragraph, and then, awwwww. Feck.

Odd how with the same assumptions, we've come to the opposite conclusion.

What this guy doesn't realize is that he feels like himself, not "a man", and he's a man because he's male. That's it. So simple.
