OMG, the Stonewall mention in #5 is, as they say, giving me life.

Idk why liberals are so surprised that some countries (talking about Iran, specifically) are pro-trans but anti-gay, or why liberals are often shocked and amazed and delighted when some parents are SO accepting of their trans kids (when the alternative is to accept having a gnc gay/lesbian child - yuck!!). Like, did you all just blank on the fact that transgenderism is and always has been conversion therapy? Of course creating gender-conforming “straight” trans-men and trans-women out of gnc gays and lesbians is preferable to having a bunch of rule-breakers wandering around challenging and disproving sex-roles. 

There’s this book by an Iranian American writer about a lesbian in Iran who considers becoming a transman so she can be with her girlfriend, and lots of American liberals commenting on goodreads expressed astonishment at the mores of these faraway barbarian countries that use the good and pure practice of transition to erase gay people, apparently clueless about what is going down in their own country.

It’s insane how powerful cognitive distance and how political correctness has brainwashed people into submission

Yes, i read that one! Its “if you could be mine” by sara farizan. i found it at the library when i was first learning about radical feminism.

its almost like…homophobia/sexism and transgenderism go hand in hand.
