Too be honest, I think if "homogenderal" & "romantic orientation" ever became mainstream it might just help acceptance of the LGB community.

I strongly suspect a huge part of mainstream acceptance of this "transgender" identity thing, even going so far as calling their kids trans, is because the self-ID movement changed the name from transSEXUAL to transGENDER. As a result parents would prefer to think of their kids as trans than gay (despite almost all early-onset dysphorics & kids with a cross-sex identification desisting & being gay), bc 'gay' has a sexual connotation in many people's minds, due to terms like homoSEXUALITY & sexual orientation.

Heck, it might even hinder the "trans kids" narrative, if an LGB possibility became more palatable to parents.

but it's inaccurate. it's claiming people are attracted to what kind of haircut you have not which body, and yes people like trans to avoid thinking of their kids as having sex, but that isn't making the whole thing healthy, it's making gay kids hide in a trans closet that is more dangerous than the old fashioned version bc now you are getting meds and surgeries not just being quiet... I don't see the benefit

That's only if you allow the self-ID cult to co-opt 'gender'. Gender is an identity formed like any other: nature & nurture. If self-ID isn't concordant with nature & nurture, like in the case of a cross-sex self-identification, then it's role-play, not an identity.

sorry, i'm just not following.. if gender is just a role play, it isn't really relevant to who you're attracted to, at least not consistently, & it's only really for bisexuals anyway in which case "you just haven't found the right girl" can be true: just find a more boyish girl or a more girlish boy, and you won't be gay anymore. (Or what is it you're getting at, bc I admit I'm finding this confusing)

Gender is a nature vs. nurture debate, some parts of gender identity are biologically determined, others socially determined. That's how identity is formed.

Self-IDing as the opposite sex is following an entirely different view, one that rejects the scientifically sanctioned nature vs. nurture debate, in favour of "individual freedom of choice". It's the idea that you can independently determine your own identity. This is the self-ID cult's view of gender, which is actually perfectly concordant with libertarianism.

Sex & the resulting socialisation into the gender norms associated with it form identity, which is why a 'cross-sex identity" cannot exist. It's just role-play
