I will never understand it... the mental gymnastics people undergo to avoid this dissonance between how sex and race are treated (for example) are amazing. It is probably one of my top questions to pose to people who are mildly curious but not aware of the harm caused by the trans rights movement. Maybe I should make a list of such questions or something.

The video by a Swedish woman (Hanna Lindholm) interviewing university students about gender identity is instructive. They said they support her if she identifies as a man. Most seem pleased with themselves for being so woke. But then she added additional things onto her identity. Like can she identify as 2 meters tall, can she identify as 7 years old, can she identify as Japanese? You can see most of them suddenly realize their ridiculousness as she adds on to her identity, but some maintain the cognitive dissonance. For most, it goes from “what’s the harm?” to the harm is self-explanatory.

I think the trans-age and “children know who they are” pedophilic elephant in the room need to be emphasized. And you can get many people to arrive at that conclusion by asking questions like Hanna did. People really need to know these arguments are being actually made and pedos are actually trying to rebrand as a sexual orientation with a flag using gender identity and queer theory logic.

And the best question to ask when people say that trans-age and trans-race isn't real is why? Why is this not acceptable and real but transgender is? Is it because people can stand to benefit if they identify as another race/another age, because they can stand to benefit from changing genders as well.

Please do make a list if you have time! I keep trying to find new ways to approach this topic w friends and my gf without seeming "transphobic" and the sex v race area is usually my go-to (even though they usually just say "oh that's different"...ok, but how is it different?!)

The answer is usually because x race has been oppressed and so it's offensive to just identify as that. Conveniently forgetting female oppression is constant throughout time and geography.
