There are some things I don't understand about transphobes:
Why is it that when a man displays an attitude or behavior that isn't typical of his sex/gender, he's immediately treated as an incomplete man or a sissy, but when it comes to trans women, they immediately say he's a man, a complete man trying to deceive society? I mean, either do you believe that one can lose their status as a man or a woman, or do you believe that biology is absolutely binary? You can't believe in both (I mean, a eunuch should be as masculine as The Rock, but these idiots wouldn't see it that way).
Another thing I've been thinking about is this:
On the one hand, they tell a trans person that they will never be the sex they were born with, mainly because of their genes, but on the other hand, they don't care about those same genes when it comes to unnatural body modifications, like steroids, breast implants, etc. I mean, if a trans person isn't a man, then I, who am bald for example, and get a hair transplant, would cease to be bald phenotypically but not genetically. The funny thing is, if I went to a meeting of bald people, they'd kick me out even though I'm genetically bald. Unless you're a Lamarckian, the argument doesn't hold water.
By the way, many TERFs say that trans women invalidate women's suffering. This reminds me of when deaf people say that those who use hearing aids invalidate their suffering. And let's not even talk about conservatives who claim to protect children from mutilation but remain silent when discussing circumcision. KEEEK

2 posts omitted.>>5013>Most reasons that leftists are confused about shit like transphobia and racism are just the assumption that your average person engages in recreational and critical thinking exercisesI think you can make an even stronger statement. To most people, including large swathes of the intelligentsia, the fact that sex roles are extremely socially contingent and not just some expression of sexual dimorphism, is occult knowledge. You can probably think of several ways the average cishet person is actively governed by or comes into conflict with gendered expectations, but most of them will never reach that breaking point, where they realize tens of thousands of years of social organization and conditioning have personally fucked them over. Leftyzens should already be familiar with a similar instance of this: The way liberals make up elaborate bartering scenarios in their head, without even considering the mountains of historical evidence on primitive accumulation and the active maintenance of private property. The process itself is founded on the fact, that the overwhelming majority of actors are ignorant of its existence or impotent to change it.
transphobes' whole ideology is retarded. it's based on an incomplete and oversimplified version of biology that happens to align very closely with the religions they tend to follow
>>5012It's commodity fetishism but for male privilege and social outcasts. Transgender women are seen as commodities which mediate the relationship of male privilege in the family between men and women. A transgender woman isn't male privilege herself but male privilege produces the transgender woman through political violence. A lot of chasers aren't attracted to trans women per se, they are attracted to the male privilege which politically represses trans women. It's the same thing with transmisogyny. Cis women see trans women as a commodity mediating male privilege. The male failure or effeminate is the same commodity but mediating the relationship of male privilege in a different way and affirming the male privilege of other men in the area. You get the contradictory readings because to cis people trans women are just commodities used one way or another in the gender war.
