I find it interesting that TRAs always rage about particular US states doing something to "trans" youth, but they never seem to bring up Sweden or Finland finding no evidence to support youth transition and subsequently stopping it. Is it because they just don't give a shit about anything outside the English speaking world or is it because it'd require them to address the reasons why Sweden and Finland stopped?

Particularly weird since they usually hold Nordic countries up on a pedestal. Though that's likely part of the reason, it's a lot harder for them to just scream transphobia into the void about countries they themselves have put forward as progressive paradises.

I think it’s a combination of all of these things. I’m American and so many of the woke people I know really like pretending to be worldly and educated. However, most of them can’t tell you basic things like the capital of Sweden or even one Finnish work of literature. They’re people who think they’re gazing through a telescope, yet haven’t even managed to put on reading glasses. So, it honestly wouldn’t surprise me if they didn’t realize these policies were in place.

If they did know, they probably don’t want to talk about it because it means actually addressing the issue and admitting the Nordic countries aren’t some utopia that mirrors their every whim.

These people see America as the center of the world. I doubt they even know where Sweden and/or Finland is, let alone their stance of transitioning.

Yeah, it's the same ones who scream about colonialism and then go and try to force their extremely American view of things onto other countries. They have no sense of self awareness.

I saw someone like that claiming that the letter ø was a "dog whistle" for racists who "glorified Vikings" and "ultra-whitness". The problem? Ø is a completely normal letter in Norwegian, Danish and Swedish, and if we removed it, the languages would fall apart... (In Swedish, we use "Ö" instead of "Ø", but the difference between them are miniscule.) They tried to be so woke that they actually began to hate different cultures...

The Latinx thing is also a good example. Latinos have said repeatedly that they do not like being called that and that it's also impossible for them to actually pronounce in Spanish, which is why it's always pronounced with the English x. Americans keep using it anyway.

There were also a bunch of people who got mad at Crayola for putting negro on the black crayons, because apparently the Spanish word for black is now unacceptable.

I remember an American professor got in trouble (and possibly fired) for talking about the Mandarin filler word “nei ge”. It means “umm” or “that”. But since it somewhat sounds like a racist term, he got cancelled. Disgustingly Anglo-centric like all this woke BS.

Seems like a reasonable price to pay to placate people who will never be happy.

Yes, it is truly horrifying that gay and autistic kids won't be sterilized as easily.... /S

Glad you're being sarcastic. Some autistics grow up to better parents than ignorant woke leftists
