one of the things that never fail to ragebait me is when I come across videos of parents trying to teach their child about trans ideology. for context, the most recent video was of a mother roleplaying a conversation she's had with her 4 year old daughter, where she explained to her that some women have vulvas but other women have penises. the child proceeded to ask if someone could be born in the "wrong body" how would it know wether it was born in the right or wrong body to which the mother responded: do you like living as a girl? do you feel comfortable in your body?" and I can't stop rolling my eyes at the fact that these questions are so deeply wrong. how is one living as a girl? what exactly does comfortable mean and why must feeling uncomfortable mean that you are not a girl?
those questions are awfully unprecise and can do a lot of damage. living as a girl to these people means fulfilling the commonly to female people applied stereotypes and role models; liking the color pink, playing with dolls, experimenting with make-up and wearing dresses.
only by defining the terms woman/girl and man/boy by their assigned sexist stereotypes, they can argue that anyone falling out of society's binary sorting of both, must be born in the wrong body. by that logic, a female with short hair playing football who has no interest in fashion and makeup will be regarded as "someone who might be trans and wanting to be a man" & a male who wears dresses and makeup, who participates in beauty contests will be seen as "someone who might be trans and wanting to be a woman."
Trans ideology does not work towards seeing people irregardless of XX or XY chromosomes as individuals who despite of their biological differences are not inherently dictated by sexist rules - To them, female and male is not a simple biological marker that otherwise does not say much about the personality of the person at hand. - Instead, Trans ideology operates from a deeply misogynistic, sexist rulebook that aims to sort people into the category of "woman" and "man" and "other" dependent on their behavior, personality, preferences and wether they fall into the category of "feminine" or "masculine" or "mixed".
Keeping the definitions and formulations vague and never going into depth about any of them enables trans ideology to shelter the impression that they know what they are talking about or that what they have in mind is "progressive" or "new". Instead, it is the sexist rulebook of the patriarchy, just recycled.
Their ideology harms women's rights and the people who do not neatly fit into the pre determined boxes of sexism. Being different must mean you actually belong to the other box, here's hormones and gender affirming surgeries! We'll all be your friends but as soon as you say you regret anything or have been mistaken about the new identity we assigned you, you're kicked out and shunned!
Woman?! Pha! Bleeder, Menstruator, birthing person, CIS, pregnant person, nursing parents, people with the capacity to get pregnant, uterus-haver!
Look at the new designer-barbie-pouch I got by inverting my dick, admit it, you always knew that men could always be the better women...
Trans ideology keeps their talk surface-based, seemingly informal but as soon as you dare to ask questions, you are a bigot, you are asking in bad faith, why do you want to harm trans people? You need to unlearn your internalized bigotry and accept blindly, only then you are a good ally!
