>>640044I think there's a kind of vulgar trans ideology which is just
>"I was born a male but should have been born a female" and then there is a sliding spectrum all the way up to the more accurate
>"gender is socially constructed but I am most comfortable within the false construct 'woman' even though society has determined that I should be placed within the false construct 'man.'"I think that the prior doesn't receive criticism on the left basically because to do so would provide oxygen to reactionary antitrans ideology. It's kinda like when people used to say everybody was born gay or straight or whatever as a way to support gay rights, but once culture became more accepting of gay people they dropped that for the more truthful stance of sexuality being fluid and socialized etc. It's essentially more effective as a propaganda tactic to say "I was born like this through no fault of my own, so you need to accept this unalterable reality" than it is to say "everything is made up, there is no truth, you are blinded by ideology."
