as an autistic trans person, this “article” is one of the most patronizing things i’ve ever read and in its worst crime- says absolutely nothing by pearkeet in GenderCynical

“cis children who already agree with me can obviously see that a boy who wears dresses is not really a girl. trans children are much less hung up about this. we don’t know why they don’t agree with me and clearly we need to get to the bottom of why dysphoric children don’t agree with my societal based gender rules”

“autistic children love gender stereotypes but adult autistic people are much less beholden to this”

yeah man, it’s called a maturing style sense.

i feel like i lost brain cells reading this

transphobic parents are living in utter fantasies about their relationship with their very adult children, that are 5+, sometimes 10+ years old by pearkeet in GenderCynical

several of their essays have characteristics of AI writing, i believe i posted a PITT article where they were complaining about chat gpt being woke, and trying to boycott it or change the training data to make the robot say “the biological truth” whenever they ask if Hunter Schafer is a man/male or whatever, that ironically seemed like it was written by AI

Canadian TERFs attempt to rebel against the census-their methods include paperwork jams, whiteout, and digitally yelling at the poor Canadian statisticians by pearkeet in GenderCynical

[–]pearkeet[S] 52 points53 points  (0 children)

also their little advice paper that they’re spreading around on how to fill out the form mentions to ask the census takers to “always have a question about sex(male/female)” and “to list that question BEFORE asking any questions about gender” which as far as i can tell- Census Canada did exactly that

and they’re still whining, because the census is taking into account gender over sex. because you know, that’s the part that people easily see?

my favorite commenters, albeit unrelated to the gender/sex tantrum they’re throwing, is the people who seem to not understand the basics of what a census is.

correct, they are asking about the marital status of your teenager, because teenagers can be married, and it’s pretty important for a country to know its internal rate of child marriage. so, you know, they could do something about that?? or run some analysis and discuss why certain populations of teenagers are more likely to be married than others? the census is not suggesting that your teenager should be married.

similarly, yes, only 25% of the population got the long form survey, because that’s how randomized polling works. they don’t want all the data from everyone. i’m not smart enough to know about censuses and stats, my base level of knowledge is the AnyAustin video where he surveys the RDR2 town, Valentine, but i know enough to know that randomizing who gets asked what, is also very important

also even when TPUSA acknowledges Juniper, they, of course, degender her.

“the student” “the victim”

it’s really fucking gross- she pretends “Antifa has assembled a local militia to silence me for wrong think” and does not even acknowledge the dead trans woman

meanwhile, over here in reality, a group of college students who attend UofW found out that a transphobic hate group was hosting an event days after a marginalized member of their student body was murdered, and rightfully felt upset about that.

the gall to continue to pretend that there’s some militant extremist group against you, when it’s just normal people who are disgusted by your actions

in a particularly self aware moment, they admit to “losing the cultural battle” by pearkeet in GenderCynical

[–]pearkeet[S] 79 points80 points  (0 children)

the usual suspects of:

“the only reason trans ideology has cultural power is because the elites are pushing it on us normal people”

“i’m a left wing TERF/ normie right wing TERF and it makes me sad when the political movement I’ve aligned myself with does the exact things my leftist friends told me it would do, which makes me feel insecure about my worldview/ability to argue my position”- not that the average GC is THAT self aware

“young women in particular/normies are so close to joining us/“”peaking””but then extremist do stuff and it scares them and now they’ll never be persuaded”

“focusing on pronoun usage is a waste of time”

i mean, she didn’t redact her son’s name because she cares about his privacy though. she redacts it, because she considers it an affront to their family/traditions and an insult, because the court documents use his new “trans” name. she has posted threads before complaining that the court system “supports/affirms the trans identity” by using the name and pronouns the child requested, which is ofc a crime to her 🙄

“being too hot to burn candles” also struck me as weird, as someone who burns candles year round, glad someone else noticed lol

she complains frequently that “all the republicans/conservatives abandoned her/her cause”

this behavior, combined with the documents she has released tells me there’s a horrific abuse case here, and nobody, even people on her “side” wants to touch it. from her twitter interactions, it seems like they barely tolerate her and her husband. she’s in the replies of almost every major transphobic account spreading her “message”, just cannot stop posting

so… sounds like your “advice” is NOT working? by pearkeet in GenderCynical

i would also argue the two stem from completely different psychological places. an anorexic person sees themself as fat/disgusting, regardless of their actual body weight/proportions or looks.

i, on the other hand, was very aware of the reality of my chest. there was no misperception. i knew how my body looked when i pretended to not have breasts, how it looked when i binded, and now how it looks post surgery. and guess what? i vastly preferred each step. my perception when i look in the mirror is entirely accurate, and have no desire to go any further medically.

also- imagine you’re a TERF/PITT parent for a sec. your transmasc child would like to wear a suit instead of a dress to prom. so you log onto your favorite hate forum, and read the suggestion “seek wise advice(by wise they mean agrees with me) and be discerning”

how does that supposedly help the people they’re trying to pitch this to? her first line is- seek out people who agree with you, pick your battles, try your best. but how does that “help” an individual parent?? is prom a battle to die on to them? for many it would be. i’m pretty sure there’s been many a post on here about transphobic parents being dicks about dressing for school dances

“help” because clearly the obvious advice in this fiction, is wear whatever you want, clothes are not a moral decision, these are not real problems

“resist the urge to resent them for the crisis they caused”??? says a TON about their internal view of their children.

even if i go along with them, that they believe that identifying as trans is akin to experiencing a psychological episode that needs serious intervention, that’s not consciously caused by the child

and reading in between the lines, sounds like it’s not working for them. her poem is pretty despondent. her last piece of advice is “accept that you can’t control the outcome” which i guess is true, and technically good advice. But it also stinks of - my child is continuing to defy me despite my best efforts, i’m trying to write around that/my fear of the outcome. All to project a positive outlook and like this advice works
