Yes. So much yes.

I am 24. I grew up with conservative parents so I missed any young age Queer community stuff. However, since middle school I have always been friends and apart of queer community as much as I could in a small southern town in the USA, Ieven peeked the Atlanta scene for a bit!

I hate what it has become.

I dont remember all of this gender stuff when I was in highschool about five or six years ago. I feel like cis identifying lesbians are becoming a rarity. I've yet to meet a single GNC girl who does not identify as 'They' or a straight up man. This sucks for someone who very attracted to the GNC look. My attractions hit null when I discover this beautiful woman is identifying as a man and taking hormones or demands every calls her They/Them.

Idk how many others are around my age on this forum, I mostly lurk. But I live in a house with four queer people, all of which say they are trans, and I've seen the focus of LGBT shift from LGB to strictly T. More and more people are falling into the trans cult and it makes me sad. I wish I could go back to how the community was when I was in Highschool or go back to,like, the 90s or something. When gay was gay and GNC women were just badass hotties who would sweep a femme,like myself, off my feet. It really feels like you cznt even be a 'Tomboy' anymore without people trying to say your actually a man.. sigh

I keep hoping one day I'll luck up and meet either a Cis GNC girl or at the very least GC peers. I am so tired of the trans cult. It is suffocating, especially when you live with them.

I weep for all of you.

Growing up when I did, most girls wore "boy's" clothes, quite a few also wore makeup, and a lot of girls did tomboyish things as a matter of course, even very feminine girls. And not one of us ever even began to think that we were actually boys, nor would anyone have put that thought into our head.

Big Pharma/ Trans, Inc., has really fucked young people. I hope young women like you lead your peers back to sanity; I think that you will!

GNC women are women (females), and GC feminism is all about supporting them and abolishing gender alltogether, so any woman can be anyhow she wants, instead of putting women into "gender boxes" and expecting women to look and act in a particular way, and if women don't act like that - then "they are something else but women, non-binaries or transmen". That is one of main points of Gender Critical Feminism, to abolish those gender stereotypes, so women are always women and not some set of stereotypes. Second point of GCF is that transwomen are still males, and that changing sex-based protections and rights into gender-based protections and rights is just wrong, because women as a class becoming defenseless and abusing women (especially GNC women) is no longer against the law. So all female rights and protections for which feminists were fighting hundreds of years are not revoked. Especially in a world where in many countries women still have no rights and are "men's property" by the law in those countries.

And as it was said above - it is not debate sub, but there is one for debating.

Most of the people who are posting are seeing it in their real lives, not just online.

I don't know if this sub will allow your post, but you can always visit the debate sub: https://saidit.net/s/GCdebatesQT. But heads up, words like "tranners" are not allowed.

confirmation bias is a hell of a drug; the people who do end up being transmasc stick in your minds more since youre so focused on your anti-trans agenda. i dont even use this site regularly i just wanted a drop of sanity in this cesspit of a comments section. also dw im only saying shit like "tranners" as a nb

So the people who don't know any GNC women who still call themselves women are lying? There are women here who have no masculine female friends or acquaintances who accept they are female. Not a single one.

youre so focused on your anti-trans agenda.

I think you're misunderstanding what this sub is about, but by all means, please visit the debate sub. You'd be welcome to discuss these things there. We have a mix of trans and non-trans people.
