Reminder that @kirralies has been in a legal battle for THREE YEARS and was ordered to pay $40,000 to this man, who injured women in football, because she called him a man ...
@jk_rowling Absolutely correct - "gender" refers explicitly to sexual roles. The man who pioneered "gender identity", John Money, was clear about this, and he forced a little boy, David Reimer, to engage in "sex rehearsals" with his brother while pretending to be female https://bird.makeup/users/womenreadwomen/statuses/2065373851123589368
But I also see that academic "feminism" was captured, just like the government, just like the medical establishment. I've come to think the capture of "feminism" and the immense pressure placed on women to conform to it - which drastically outweighs the social pressure that men experience - was necessary in a part for the predatory industry to become normalized.
And women who support GI are not the main drivers of it. The demand for GI - which is an industry - comes largely from pornography, WPATH, and the APA.
@jk_rowling I wish we could acknowledge this while also recognizing that the "cannibalizing ideology" has had the full support of many influential gay men, who apparently decided siding with heterosexual fetishists was preferable to preserving the rights and dignity of women and children
"Gender dysphoria" relies on a notion of "gendered essences".
It's a political term created by sexologists that destigmatizes predatory male fetishes by labeling them a pitiable medical condition.
I have come to believe this is not an accident, but was done deliberately.
"Gender dysphoria" is a sex-neutral term which incorporates a variety of conditions - including body dysmorphia among girls - to provide cover for male fetishism.
A belief in "gender dysphoria" does endorse the notion of "gendered essences," and more specifically that a woman can be reduced to a feeling in a man's head, though limited to special, subjective circumstances which can't be measured.
Body dysmorphic disorders do exist, but they are overwhelmingly diagnosed in young women and girls.
In the same vein, paraphilias are overwhelmingly a male phenomenon.
When I see the term "gender dysphoria" I can't help but think of how John Money used the term "gender" to refer to sexual positions, advising that children be shown pornography to help them develop their gender identity. https://bird.makeup/users/jk_rowling/statuses/2069368322760560857
This WPATH-certified psychotherapist influenced transgender "health" guidelines regarding "gender dysphoria" in adolescents, which includes recommendations for halting puberty.
Feminism did not create gender identity ideology. Sexologists did, and they did so in the 1960's, at US universities. The first gender clinics were founded at universities in California and Minnesota.
Then, the ideology took over the nascent Women's Studies programs.
This cult has targeted women for decades, and morphed into what we see now, which is seeking, and granted access to, children.
Transsexualism is a masochistic male sexual fetish that was rebranded as "transgenderism" in order to include women and children — for the purposes of medical profit, and to provide cover for the worst, most perverted and predatory men
I'm not wholly convinced that men like this believe anything they say, but rather that they say such things because they are narcissists with a penchant for sadomasochism.
The major drawback to any fetish is its addictive nature, which makes scenarios that lack the fetish object or expression dull, "vanilla," meaningless.
"Being barred from expressing my fetish around unwilling women is like a literal holocaust" is the screeching of a man who is otherwise impotent. If his only source of arousal comes from causing discomfort to others, and he is told he can't have that any longer, he is doomed to flaccidity - which is to say, a kind of death.
Imagine the impotent rage of men who've had years of thrills of exhibitionism, voyeurism, masochism, and sadism all rolled in one being told they have to stop abusing the public.
"This perspective aligns with psychological research on fetishism, such as a 2016 study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, which notes that paraphilic disorders can become addictive, leading to escalating behaviors when access to the fetish object is restricted, often resulting in emotional volatility."
A senior prison official who implemented Scotland's policy allowing male "transgender" sex offenders into women’s prisons was himself a sex offender who hoarded 22,000 indecent pictures of children.
Scotland's prison policy of transferring males into women's facilities based on "gender identity" was developed by Gordon Pike of the Scottish Prison Service.
One of the first men to be transferred into a women's prison in Scotland was Peter Laing, who was placed in the women’s section of Edinburgh’s Saughton prison while serving a life sentence for murder.
Laing, who identifies as transgender, renamed himself Paris Green, after an arsenic-based poison. He has been requesting taxpayer-funded "gender affirming care" through the National Healthcare System (NHS) in Scotland.
