If gender norms are completely arbitrary why do trans people feel compelled to comply with them?

Why does Dylan Mulvany act and dress the way he does? Why did Will/Lia Thomas grow his hair long and wear a different type of swimsuit? Why does a trans person enter beauty a contest? When these trans dudes do such things do you believe they actually become a woman as a result?

The amount of hypocrisy one must engage in to buy into this nonsense is quite astonishing.

Why not truly accept one’s self? If you are male and like dresses and make up , why can’t you be a man who likes to wear dresses and makeup? Why not accept yourself for who you are entirely? Why is important that others believe or pretend to believe you to be something you are not?
What is wrong with being a man? Or the other way around?

To me that is true tolerance. Accepting your true self for what you are.

And that’s a sad commentary on our current culture.

Nope. Even when I was an imaginative kid, playing pretend always ended at some point. :man_shrugging:

Same here glad my parents didn’t follow through medically transitioning me into a T-rex during my :t_rex: dinosaur phase.

I spent at least a month being a transformer as a kid.

I guess I was trans…… just not gender.

I don’t fault people who can’t possibly understand transgenderism, or gender dysphoria, or being gay for that matter. They just aren’t wired that way.

You gotta check out this gay-panic propaganda from the Russian government.

Good ad. Why is there no sound?

You are?

It’s an opinion.

Sounds reasonable to me.

No need to medically alter oneself to express oneself.

Apparently.

What do you mean this is not a defense?

I am not defending the issue you are addressing. I am just pointing out why some people have to flaunt it letalidades about it and make it part of their public persona.

Click the unmute button. It’s got sound. You think it’s a good ad.

How did that happen?

I tried. Doesn’t really matter, it was captioned.

Yeah, I think it’s a good ad.

I don’t know.
Perhaps one day science will have that answer.

To how you understand transgender"ism"?

Highly unlikely. I don’t have a problem understanding the concept of it.
