Commonsensegurl - So I Guess Im A 'crypto Terf'

i can’t imagine going through all that schooling and training and being like yeah let’s freeze kids’ puberty based on shaky, unsettled science. let’s treat this one issue differently than every other mental health/medical issue. we’re going to take the feelings of this group of mentally unwell people as medical facts … why!!!

the valedictorian of my high school class is now a doctor and she posts TRA stuff on her instagram all the time. scary shit

im still working on this pet theory, but i think its interesting that gender ideology has become so rigid at a time when extremely literal thinking is at an all time high

and what i mean by extremely literal thinking is how people cant seem to grasp nuance anymore. they can't grasp grey areas anymore, everyone thinks in black and white. despite all the "gender is a spectrum" "sexuality is a spectrum" stuff people cant seem to actually think that way. we're living in a time when people need to google "[film] ending explained", when people dont engage with complexity, when they dont actually engage in critical thinking.

so it's no wonder there's this whole movement that just reifies the sex and gender binary, even though people think it's doing the opposite.

women who are so obsessed with texting are such losers. no wonder you can’t keep a man.

honestly i’ve never understood women like this anyway who try and have all these rules about dating and think it’s so complicated. even back in school i never got it. and i guess this behavior has just continued for so many??? y’all don’t wanna grow up??? i don’t even wanna be friends with them. it’s so annoying to hear about ‘oh he didn’t text me’ you’re 28 get a grip

This is just my 2¢ as a nonbinary person but I genuinely think that cis people's gender is just as constructed as trans people's. Cis people love to accuse us of having making up genders or artificially modifying our appearance but....the entire makeup, fashion, diet, workout, and haircare industry exists so that cis people can maintain the illusion of two entirely distinct genders with no overlap.

autistic girls really need to know its ok to be uncomfortable with femininity or feminine stereotypes. it doesnt mean you're not a girl. you can be a girl your own way.

answer the damn question!!!!!

i also think for the nb's / they/thems, all their obsession with gender and supposed breaking of its norms is totally a replacement for a personality where there isn't much of one. i know thats a common refrain nowadays, "get a real personality" but it's totally true in this case.

because if you're sooo outside the gender binary, then why the hell do you talk about it all the time!!!

nonbinaries and they/thems who are female and were raised as girls do tend to have the weirdest complexes. they're always like "i hate pink so i must not be a girl" or "i hate painting my nails so i must not be a girl" are you dumb. like genuinely, are you stupid. i went through a phase of 'i wish i was a boy' but it absolutely had nothing to do with superficial things like nail painting and everything to do with "menstruating is kind of scary at first" and "oh shit i really could become pregnant" ..... i feel like almost every woman has gone thru that.

even the straightest men paint their nails now. i feel like its never been more normal for women to go out barefaced, in baggy jeans, and still be....women. so. youre going to have to find some other thing to channel your internalized misogyny through, babes.

TIL men consider themselves to be without human rights if they can’t legally pretend to be women

Trans women calling themselves ‘dolls’ really shows what they think women are tbh

ok fine, whatever. those figurines from ancient history of "fat people" prove they existed. yet these posts dont account for people who are just bigger bodied (i would imagine the ancient humans had more muscle due to more physical labor), and those who were in the upper classes who had plenty to eat.

its just science that a human who is very active and barely eating enough to survive isnt gonna have a lot of body fat. and for most of human history it was all about survival.

so i just wonder just how many people fit into these people's definition of "fat" .

2. its also funny how these posts are SO dismissive of things that are VERY OBVIOUSLY NOT GOOD, like soda, sedentary lifestyles , and obesity. you simply cannot argue the science that those things are bad. but suddenly its Oh well there's always been fat people, so its fine!

even in the united states obesity has only increased over the last century. if it were a naturally occurring biological phenomenon, the rate would stay the same.

it's all part of the cope for their sedentary modern lifestyle. it's all part of the movement to make the obese an oppressed class. dont fall for it.
