Remember how it was when it started to become socially accpetable for kids to wear and play with whatever they wanted? I started seeing little boys allowed to put on "girly" clothes and costumes during Halloween and dress-up games. People stopped caring when guys wore pink. I even noticed more fully grown straight men wearing makeup and nail polish and laughing at their bros who felt their masculinity was threatened by it.

Femininity in men was literally just beginning to be normal for men. It's like that all got erased when this whole trans craze started getting media attention. I swear this movement is putting us back decades in terms of harmful sex stereotypes.

I remember back when I was in the trans cult, had changed my pronouns online, started binding, etc I still had doubts about the validity of transgenderism. I remember googling 'does transgenderism reinforce stereotypes?' and of course all the sites said 'no' without any solid reasoning to back up why not. The only sites that made any sense said things like 'being trans is about being uncomfortable with your gender, not about what toys or clothes you like.' And I thought, okay, but then they'd go on to say 'i Knew I was trans because I always played with the boys as a kid and I hated wearing dresses.' Like??? You just?? Fine. Whatever. I peaked about a year later. You're absolutely right that trans-ness is all about stereotypes and setting us backward.
