Q/T:. What advice would you give a non-conforming boy who gets bullied in the boys' bathroom and is jealous of trans girl classmates who don't have to use it?

GC women: If you had been born male, and you felt unable to get the rest of the male community to behave better, wouldn't you be ashamed and embarassed too? Possibly to the point of wanting to hide it or make it ambiguous?

GC: Have you talked to the conservatives in your life about the harms of teaching GNC boys that "real men" meet certain behavioral standards?

QT: How do you reconcile the idea that "gender affirming medical treatment is easier for cis people than for trans people to access", with the idea that there is a medical "gatekeeping" problem wherein people are asked to prove their transness to access treatment?

GC: What's a good age-appropriate way to explain to an 8 year old boy why it would be creepy, wrong, and disrespectful towards women for him to get earrings for Christmas like his sisters received, without making him feel like he's creepy and wrong himself? by citydweller1 in GCdebatesQT

Usually when I see GC content randomly floating on social media, instead of looking for it in real literature and on debate platforms like this, it's people criticizing and mocking gender nonconforming males under the assumption that their appearance implies they are trans.

I don't know what's creepy and wrong about it, but when I was 8 the adults in my life did, and they were never willing to explain why. It's always bothered me, so I wanted to ask people who are against male gender nonconformity why they thought it was wrong.

QT: Would you accept a ban on all cosmetic genital surgeries for minors if it were the only way to stop the thousands of these procedures performed daily on nonconsenting newborn boys?

Do you think that random screenshots from people who may or may not have gender critical views is really the best way to understand what gender criticism actually is?

Certainly not. I wouldn't want to suggest that opposition to male GNC expression is an element of mainstream gender critical feminist thinking, that'd simply be untrue. On the other hand, I figured if anyone knew how opposition to male GNC expression could fit in a feminist framework rather than as an iteration of misogynistic stereotypes etc... then there's a good chance it'd be someone in this crowd.

To be clear, we're wholeheartedly agreed on what you're saying as well as the second of the two options there.

I don't actually believe earrings hurt anyone. I came here to get ideas that might form an understanding of the logic behind why my parents forbade earrings. Would you say they were creepy and wrong?
