I saw an interview once with this woman where she talked about how she became queer.

She said (I'm paraphrasing) she was confused because her emotional connections were with women but her sexual fantasies were with men. Immediately in my head I'm thinking, "Okay, so you're a straight woman who likes hanging out with other women but likes getting ploughed by dicks in the bedroom... so... just like most women?". Nope, not the conclusion she drew. Instead she thought "I must be a gay boy trapped in a woman's body!"

I'm a (actual, i.e. not a woketard) leftist, so I hate the idea of the Horseshoe theory a lot, but...

The woke crowd went serious Horseshoe with gender roles, and it's fucking absurd. In less than 10 years we went from the progressive wing saying that gender roles/stereotypes were a bad thing, that we didn't need them, and that you should just do you regardless of your sex (good) to basically saying that it's the gender roles/stereotypes that are somehow innate, and it's your biological sex (characteristics) that should change to match them.

It's like they literally jumped from one end of the horseshoe to the other. From completely anti-sterotype to completely pro-stereotype. In almost real time. And this switch is the only way that Enby, and recent non-"medicalized" trans doctrine makes sense. Because exactly as you say - if the stereotypes of "what makes a woman/man" are removed, the only thing that makes you a man/woman is... your genitals and chromosomes i.e. your biology.

As a GNC man I'll continue to think that, no, being "womanly" in some ways does not mean I should chop my dick off and take estrogen, or that I'm somehow "non-binary" whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean; it means I'm a biological male who isn't particularly interested in the gender stereotypes of "manliness". Not this regressive bullshit that passes for "progressivism" on the modern "left" and which has shit-all to do with economic issues at all.
