I really don’t understand how people think there’s some kind of gendered soul in people and that’s what makes all the difference. I’m not sexually attracted to women and sexually repulsed by men because of some omnipotent, yet subjective, internal state. I’m into women because I find female bodies attractive. I’m not into men because I don’t find male bodies attractive. This shouldn’t be difficult.

Exactly. I've been talking with some trans-aligned people and they just want to deny, deny, deny anything to do with sexed bodies--maleness, femaleness. They consistently start talking about some sort of mythical other quality that they apparently revolve around, but can't quite express what that is. Let alone any way to objectively measure it. Often they talk about gender, but not always.

They created their own religion

It sure seems that way. What a great lens for me to revisit my last comment through.

Belief in and adherence to something that can't be empirically measured. That "thing" being what we're all expected to be attracted to or not. The worst vitriol reserved for the apostates--LGB. Heterosexuals are ignorant savages that need converted.
