So much for gender not being sexist stereotypes. Fucking disgusting. As a society we were moving away from sexist stereotype bullshit, now it's coming back full force, but with the option to make yourself a lifelong medical patient if you don't like it.

Fuck all of this bullshit.

This is the fault of the non-binaryism bullshit. It wasn't even 10 years ago that the progressive position was that liking ballet and make-up didn't make a boy any less of a boy. Toy shops were removing gender labels from their aisles so kids didn't feel railroaded into Barbie or Transformers based on their sex. It seemed like a progressive gender revolution.

But now, in order for the non-binaries to be special, they need to cram the rest of us back into strict gender boxes: for 'non-binary' to actually be a meaningful thing requires that the rest of us be 'binary,' i.e. simple, contented gender stereotypes. It takes a special sort of narcissism to produce material like this because any normal person would realise that literally everyone is non-binary by these standards, but the message here is clearly that the vast majority of people are happy on Planet Boy or Planet Girl and only a special few have personalities outside these rigid stereotypes.

Hell, this is really even transphobic, because it basically says transwomen who aren't stereotypically feminine aren't actually women. What happened to 'trans women don't owe you femininity?' It's almost as though gender ideology is a self-contradictory mess.

Yeah this is why I've been always the most bothered by non-binaries than binary trans people. The pronouns cult didn't start for transwomen or transmen but for non-binaries. Binary trans just said "Hi, I'm Jessica" or "Hi, I'm Tom" and it was enough. But non-binaries don't transition to anything known and for that reason they demand special pronouns as without it you will just naturally call someone like that a she or he since most of non-binaries usually look like some tomboys or like a clear woman or a man. The "no dysphoria to be trans" also exists because of non-binaries. Seriously, I think the whole shit started with those "not like the other girls" non-binaries.

This is why I also feel in someways insulted. I don't wanna play their game so I clearly state myself to be my biological sex. But if I do so it feels like I am agreeing to a stereotype what's so wrong.

The trans agenda cannot exist without sexist stereotypes. Their core premise is that they can feel like one gender/sex or another, but that is a false premise. In order to justify their nonexistent premise, they need to take things that people can relate to, like having a favorite color or dream career, and trick us into thinking that these things are what "feeling like a gender" is like. If you like blue, you feel like a boy (and therefore are one) and vice versa for pink. Of course, even if you brought this up and maybe managed to convince someone, they'd just accuse you of being agender and saying that everyone else can feel like a gender

Link to the book: https://www.theproudtrust.org/shop/general-shop/educational-resources-primary/alien-nation-story-book/

I am not going to buy the book to find out, but other people have suggested that it makes the claim about colors and transgender identification. If that is true, then I would've easily been transed as a child... amazing how the transgender movement is so forceful about pressuring people to believe in gender stereotypes.

Here's a little more about this organization, I couldn't find a Wikipedia page for them: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-search/-/charity-details/5048520

Sheesh. Doesn't sound like they're hurting for money. 3.2 million pounds in the "Other assets" section, I wonder what that is referring to?

When I was a kid, the preppie craze was all the rage, and pink (Izod was it?) shirts were all the rage with the boys whose parents hoped to send them to posh universities.

Use of colors has to be one of the biggest "social construct"s of all. These same Woke fools and their "it's a social construct" think somehow color preferences are intrinsic????

My favorite color is orange. Help! Now I don't know if I'm male or female! Maybe Crayola could get in on this and put your sexual orientation on each crayon.

Let's see, "burnt sienna -- oh, that means romantic asexual demiboy pandumbbucket!"

As much as TRAs are crazy but this would be just making their narrative too obviously sexist. I would like to see the full book so maybe there is more context to it?

[–]reluctant_commenter[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I sure hope so. I have heard TRAs say this line before, so I wouldn't be surprised if they put it in a book aimed at young children, but I haven't read it myself so that's why I added "purportedly" in the post title.
