It’s the fundamental problem with the entire conception of transgenderism. There’s no rational way to explain feeling any gender other than the sex you were born.

It’s an intractable problem, you cannot know how other minds perceive the world, so it’s impossible to feel like a sex that you aren’t.

Of course, the way to solve the problem is to accept that it is either a delusional mental illness or a sexual fetish.

I suspect that, since most NBs seem to be young, that NBism is just a fad/attention seeking behaviour that will disappear when the next thing comes along.

Realistically there’s no feeling of being the sex you’re born as, either, without resorting to stereotypes or social conventions. It’s simply a state of being. Nothing more, nothing less.

Well yes, that’s absolutely true, but even if we pretend that there is some “gender feeling”, there’s no way to conceive feeling as anything other than what you are. Claiming otherwise requires knowledge of how other minds feel, and that is absolutely impossible.

It’s truly bizarre that this ideology has become so accepted in the mainstream as it is completely illogical and utterly refuted with even a small amount of rational thought.

even the praised Minnesota Multiphasic test's "gender identity" questions are just stereotypes like "are you able to understand interior design?" "are you the one doing the shopping in the house?" I have nothing feminine about me whatsoever and still got HALF-AND-HALF

problem for them is the Current Year view of gender includes BOTH 1. dysphoria--the overwhelming need to change everything about sex--AND 2. genderfluidity, which John Money's sick experiment was literally trying to prove (but instead allowed dysphoria to be codified)

once you see this, it starts showing up everyhwere: mainstream feminism says the sexes are equal ... and that the sexes are the same; radfems, that men being advantaged is patriarchy, but also that women being given an advantage is ALSO from the patriarchy since they're being patronized; or whether bi is like homosexuality or just people lying about something invisible to horn in on the gay bars; or or or

the contradictions crop up when you pay attention for more than the length of a slogan, but they're usually presented in isolation and sound semi-reasonable (unless you're looking for contradiction, and that's called "sealioning"): I think it's also because these Mandatory Dogmas come from very small university departments, who write the Freshmeat 101 courses and mandatory sensitivity thingies: the other departments teach the required electives, but don't force everyone to agree to Ibn Khaldun's Law or speech-act theory or else they can't enrol

now add together Sophomore Syndrome where they just find out about somthing, youth, free time, social media, and Cluster B and you have the never-ending vampire castle of "SJWism" (a word I myself don't like)

Sophomore Syndrome where they just find out about somthing

I’d never actually put this into the mix, but it does explain an awful lot.

I'm sorry, but did you just question a 20-year-old just learning about a topic?!

I swear my toddler has more self awareness than half the college aged dweebs I see online.

Wait until your toddler is in college.

I hope it does. I preferred when kids were angsty emos and goths in order to piss off their parents. At the very least they only cut themselves on a surface level.

Yeah

Also, emos at least didn't force their beliefs on anyone and usually didn't even interact with people outside their own community.
