Do they not realize they're making things more stereotypical...

submitted by anxietyaccount8 from self.GenderCritical

As someone in my early 20s, I keep coming across women, who just are maybe a bit unfeminine or eccentric, claiming to be non-binary. Certain TRAs may deny this, but it's clearly because they've spread the idea that woman = a feminine person. And, I can only imagine how lesbians feel about this, since more and more butch lesbians are identifying as transmen.

What do you think, will people get over this trend as they get older? I think it's ridiculous that GNC women do not see themselves as female anymore.

I think they do realize it, because it is what they are aiming for. Without reinforcing century old sexist stereotypes - their gender/queer theory just makes no sense, thus they need those stereotypes to be spread and popularized again.

Same with homosexuality - it is huge problem to their gender/queer theory, because as long as homosexual people exist, their theory is false. So they are attacking LGB on all levels (especially us, lesbians, as we are both women and homosexual).

That is why all this "lets change meaning of words" exist in the first place.

So for gender/queer theory to hold any ground - this theory must be misogynic and homophobic.

As proclaiming oneself "non-binary" becomes too much of a fad, and as the ridicule of gendxr nonsense spreads, they will get over it.

I think when a critical mass of "girls" become "not like other girls" (aka non-binary), and aren't special anymore because they are all the same, they will either default back to regular human being or find another fad.

It won't last. I knew (and knew of) a large number of women who went ftm about 15 years ago and almost every one desisted, even those on T.

That's what I think too. I have some gay teenagers as friends, and initially they were sucked into the whole gender stuff, but now I think it's starting to be over and they'll be onto some other fad.

Just hoping it's not Furries or worse...

I really hope so, but I find it hard to predict the outcome of such an unusual trend.

In the English-speaking countries there's a movement of disaffected, influential liberals sometimes referred to as the "Intellectual Dark Web" I think that between the IDW and just normal people, plus people swept up into this nonbinary stuff finally getting exhausted with their own demands, there will be enough pushback that gender madness will soon become ridiculed.

That being said, there are powerful, well-funded and sinister forces (Trans, Inc.) pushing gender ideology globally, and they want to win. So it's going to be a battle between the entities funded by Trans, Inc. - academia, politicians, organizations, institutions, corporations, the media - and us little people who know that biological sex is real.

Interesting times ahead, that's for sure.

I think we’re going to see a major pushback against TR activism over the next 10-15 years for two major reasons. 1). As these ideas go from their internet bubbles to the mainstream (particularly self-identity) they will not withstand the scrutiny of the general public. The majority of “peak trans” stories come from people who initially supported trans rights, but realized the major flaws in the movement AFTER listening to trans people. Once you start to think critically about TRA arguments, they tend to fall apart. Look at any news report of trans women in sports in the mainstream news— the comments are full of people who, while sympathetic to trans struggles, also recognize that trans women have a significantly unfair advantage in women’s sports. I can only imagine the pushback if/when the concept of the “cotton ceiling” is presented to a mainstream audience. Something tells me most people won’t respond well to the accusation that they’re a bigot unless they date/ sleep with a group of people that they have no attraction towards. 2). There’s going to be a huge rise in people detransitioning. We’re already seeing it now with kids in lockdown not identifying as trans anymore once they’re removed from their friend groups. I remember how many kids were punk/emo/goth in middle/high school only to “go back to normal” right after graduating. The sad thing is, I think we’re going to see young adults who can’t “go back to normal” and are going to be asking why no one questioned anything. We’re already seeing this with the tavistock clinic and how doctors are diagnosing kids as trans under fear that by not doing so, they will lose their jobs.

They are... when I was younger, I knew many other butch lesbians. It wasn’t hard to find us in the bars... many of the butches that are my age are still butch. Then it was more that you have your body and you have your mind, and they are not in conflict, you just have your own personality. So they made peace with it.

The young ones? All gone... You try to date and it’s 500 femmes for every one butch. They are all trans or non-binary now. They feel the distress because they’re told that women do not look like them or feel like them. They are masculine because they are boys, they say.
