"Most important thing is thinking about your gender whole day"

Actually, it's

The most important thing you have to do all day is tell the world what your gender is

Yeah, I imagine that all the hundreds of millions of people who live in abject poverty - entire families living in a single mud-floored room with no clean running water, reliable electricity, toilets or mirrors - and whose costume choices consist of just the clothes on their backs that they wear as they try to eke out a subsistence living are really in agreement that

The most important thing you have to do all day is tell the world what your gender is

Talk about the privilege and cluelessness of first-world gender-ideologue narcissists! Do these people not know that half the world's population lives on less than $5.50 USD a day? Have these genderist numpties never traveled anywhere? Or even watched a documentary or read a book or magazine article about how the less fortunate of the world live even today?

BTW, the first archive link didn't work for me. Is this a new piece in the Independent?

What a luxury to have nothing else to be worried about in life other than if people will go along with your gender-fantasies or not.

BTW, whilst writing my earlier comment, the movie "Cast Away" started on my TV screen... Interestingly, in his efforts to stay alive, human and not go totally insane whilst marooned in who-knows-where, the character played by Tom Hanks never once mentioned nor seemed to consider his "gender."

He was heartbroken, however, when his imaginary friend "Wilson" was taken by the seas. But that had nothing to do with "gender" or "gender identity" or any of the crap the regressive genderists spout.

Your comment made me think of how many 'news' articles I've seen throughout the pandemic bemoaning how difficult it was to be trans during the pandemic because of difficulties accessing exogenous hormones and surgeries, and what if they died and were buries as a person of their birth sex, etc.

I truly wonder what would happen to this population if they were in a real crisis where they had to truly prioritize their survival, and not just their gender identity.

Seems to me none of the gender ideologues have the mettle, pain-tolerance or resilience to cope with a real crisis or withstand genuine suffering. These are people who regard getting side-eye and being "misgendered" as a threat to/denial of their existence.

The only way than they can think of to cope with a genuine threat to their survival would be to lash out verbally and violently - which might work if the threat is coming from violent persons or animals, but won't be of much help in the event of a fire, tsunami, famine, total economic collapse, plane crash, Ebola breakout, utter destitution, becoming life-threateningly ill with something like bone or pancreatic cancer, becoming physically crippled by accident or a disease like MS or ALS, being sent to a place like the Gulag or Guantánamo, living under regimes like the Khmer Rouge, the Nazis, Franco's Spain or Romania under Ceauşescu, etc.

Frankly, I think these "folx" would probably fall apart if their internet service were interrupted. That's about the greatest tragedy they seem capable of surviving. A bout of shingles would be a bridge too far.

how hard

And almost no news about 3-5 times increased rates of Domestic Violence, about increased amount of women running out of home with kids, increased amount of women and kids dying from domestic violence, strongly increased amount of rape cases.

But "harder to buy estrogen and need 2 more hours than usually" is discussed and "so bad! Poor transes!".

and if they died

Yet 0 deaths of trans people this year so far in Europe. And no homicides either. They attacked or killed more women during this time, than being targeted themselves.

No, that was Bosom Buddies.

Jaden Smith as a new face of womenswear might seem progressive - but he's on transgender territory

Year 2016.

If it was really about the drive to reproduce, they'd be talking about sex, not gender.
