This. You can’t win if you’re a woman right now. Straight and/or white? Karen. Lesbian? Terf. Gender conforming? Upholding oppression. GNC? Not actually a woman. Middle class? Privileged. Working class? Well let all these upper middle class college kids tell you how it is. Actually a woman? Privileged and transphobic.

If you aren’t some far-far-left SJW pansexual into BDSM, you just get shit on from every angle by the woke. It’s not really surprising women, especially straight ones, want to jump ship and pretend to be dudes or non-binary.

GNC? Not actually a woman

This honestly sucks for me. I am GNC and the thing is for most people GNC is a synonim for being non-binary. Even if you try to look for any resources regarding being GNC all you see is trans and non-binary. Imagine growing up as a GNC girl and look up this stuff. You're easily convinced and groomed into thinking you're not a girl. You must be trans.

I think this is the reason so many (actually) autistic people tend to be convinced that they're trans or at the very least non-binary. Many, including myself, are gender-non conforming due to sensory issues regarding clothing materials/restrictiveness of clothing, or simply don't know or don't care about the social norms regarding gender presentation/gendered clothing, but because of that are susceptible to being convinced online or by 'well-meaning' friends, family and now doctors that they're actually trans.

This, coupled with obsessive tendencies (obsessing over trans or LGBTQ as a special interest) and more literature/studies coming out about how autistic people are more likely to be trans (even though it's just GNC), is a perfect storm that causes autistic people (especially children and young people) to come out as trans. It also doesn't help there is a higher chance of autistic people being LGB.

I don't, either, especially being a woman (and a liberal/progressive one, at that) myself.

Best guess is that it's due to some combination of the following:

  • Most women are liberals. So, any idea pervasive among liberals will tend to automatically be pervasive among women as a result.
  • (Too) many women mistake the fact that their oppression is based on biological sex (particularly the female reproductive function) for biological sex being ITSELF oppressive. So, when anyone defines "woman" in terms of sex, they hear "baby machine". Therefore, defining "woman" in terms counter to sex-- such as "gender identity"-- seems enlightened, liberating, and even feminist to them. It's modern! It's "inclusive"! It's individualistic! Chosen, instead of imposed! All about personal expression and creativity! Etc., etc., etc. Everything that liberalism stands for, supposedly.
  • Similarly, women tend to oppose gender-roles... and mistake "trans" for DEFIANCE of them. They see men in dresses who believe this makes them women, and think it's the same as men in dresses who have no problem with being precisely that. Basically, they fail to understand that "gender identity" is just "gender roles" under a different name, and that by promoting the former they're just reinforcing the latter.
  • Women assume that any man who "identifies" AS a woman must therefore also identify WITH women; his ladyfeelz can only be proof of how profoundly he sympathizes with, and respects, our sex. After all, why would he want to become one otherwise? Guy's GOTTA want the best for women, cuz it'll also mean the best for HIM, right? When he "transitions"? It's such a no-brainer!... Yeah, few women realize that "transwomen" are most often the product of a sissy-humiliation fetish. So these men see being a woman not only as inherently humiliating, but as taking great PLEASURE in humiliation. And... they insist that WE embrace this definition of womanhood for ourselves, too. :(
  • Younger women are steeped in a "feminism" that's largely corporate product-- all about image, commodification... and men. Where being a woman is defined as how you look, what you buy, and whether dudes think it's hawt. So biological sex probably seems irrelevant to them. Whereas skirts that go spinny, thigh-highs, makeup, puberty-blockers, artificial hormones, and cosmetic surgeries? Those fit right in.

TL;DR: the explanation for so many women becoming SJWs may involve women: being disproportionately liberal; mistaking bio-sex for oppression; mistaking "gender identity" for defiance of gender roles; mistaking men identifying as women for men identifying with women; seeing women through the lens of a corporate "feminism" that works against bio-sex and for "trans".
