If that were the case then we would've had the TRA movement 100+ years ago and it would've happened to all cultures, not just Westernized cultures. So no, this "predicament" isn't because of social pressure. It's merely the symptom of a political and cultural sickness that has manifested only recently.

If this TRA nonsense is proof of anything, it's proof that when you forcefully expunge well-established social norms and force the culture to accommodate fringe identities then everything goes to shit.

We did, we absolutely did.

Forcing gender roles, claiming that real ladies must be dainty and wear pretty skirts, claiming that real men must be gruff and ape-ish, claiming that gay people can be converted, having men that get off on crossdressing..... it's nothing new. Tale as old as humanity.

Doubtful. The people of the distant past had bigger things to worry about than "Oh noes!1! I can't be my true self!". Let's be real, if that's your biggest issue in life then you probably have it relatively good. This is a first world problem and one day, when the shit really hits the fan, people will drop this identify oppression narrative like it never existed.

No, it means you have it awful, and other people have it even more awful. Just admit that the world is inherently a terrible place.
