@jeffowski Exactly. An older woman I was speaking to was upset because she "would probably have been trans if it had been pushed on her" since she always felt more boyish than girlish but "in her day, you were just a tomboy!"
But I was a total tomboy as a young girl. I remember being the only mechanic at a party where everyone else was a princess! But I always knew I was a girl doing boyish things. I would not have chosen to be a boy I just chose not to let my gender define my actions. 1/2
@jeffowski So I think she has forced herself into a life she would not have chosen, if she had had more information. And this resistance, this anger and danger she perceives, is really a reaction to the injustice of not having the chance herself.
I wonder how many older people feel cheated, and that magnifies their anger and fear. 2/2
@GinevraCat -- I guess it's a thought. It is a more believable action to cheer for those that you would identify with when they have success or claim rights denied them.
The contortions you have to go through to come up with this idea brings up only one question. Why?
Why are you twisting things around to make this obvious Trumper sympathetic? They obviously believe there is some "gay agenda" and you even show that with your quote from them.
Take a look at this link: https://racismscale.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/8/9/108961603/racism_scale_v4.1.pdf
@GinevraCat -- While this scale is specific to Racism, you can replace the term "Blacks" with "Trans" and "Whites" with "Straights".
This may open your eyes to a larger spectrum of hate that is bound up with all the right wing propaganda and identify the hidden bigots around you.
@jeffowski @GinevraCat How was that particular ranking arrived at? I don't particularly disagree, but if it's based on some kind of actual research, it would be interesting to see it.
@jeffowski Interesting scale, I hadn't seen that before. Thank-you.
