how does it seeping into universities affect your 5 year old child when they recall they've always had the feeling of "being in the wrong body" when most people who say theyre transexual admit to feeling "off" when theyre as young as 5 or 6. I doubt theyre being influenced by university culture. Heterosexualism isnt just a sexuality, they try to turn it into an ideology and all it does is cause this dysphoria. I highly doubt the straight men and women who do this to themselves are so different from the gay and lesbian people who feel gender dysphoria. Are the heterosexuals perverts and get off on it sometimes? Sure..but thats mainly because theyre a highly damaged, isolated people with no community to help them so they slowly become perverts. But thats from trauma and isolation. Heterosexualism causes gender dysphoria. Queer theory just studies heterosexuals. Thats it. You keep pretending that queer theory exists in a vacuum and everything straight people do is just as nature intended. But you suddenly dont have this opinion when it comes to "the natural order of the inferiority of women"..suddenly you bring out your big ol book of feminism because obviously feminism is meant to study the ideology called patriarchy. Feminism is to patriarchy as queer theory is to heterosexualism. You're purposefully ignoring the ideology that causes the gender dysphoria and queer theory certainly wasnt present in iran where they chop of gay people's dicks to turn them into women for their allah.

You are putting words into my mouth that I have never said. I never said anything at all about what straight people do is fine and according to nature.

Gender dysphporia is not in my opinion a result of heterosexualism, it is a result of strict gender roles, that is what we should be aiming to change in my opinion. And sure those gender roles are caused in part due to heterosexual being the norm.

As for feminism I think some types of it have the same problem as queer theory and all the other "studies" programs, its critical theory and postmodernism, with a little bit of Marxism thrown in for good measure.
