Imitation is not magic
R U serious?
A man can shop in the women’s section of the store, take hormones to grow [bigger] breasts, go by a female name, have vaginoplasty and labiaplasty, and you STILL do not think that man is a woman?
Duh, no, of course I don’t, any more than I would if he put on a long curly blonde wig or flapped his hands flirtatiously or talked in a high squeaky voice.
By the same token I wouldn’t think he was a dog if he started crawling around the floor, barked, chased a ball, ate a can of dog food, and chewed the newspaper.
Which people are the “essentialists” again?
Which clothing department in the store that you shop in determines your sex now? I buy a lot of men’s clothes. My body stubbornly remains female. My name is an either/or name; most people assume it’s a male name. Yet, no matter what, I’m still a woman, no matter how much I might have wished not to be. Reality is that which continues to be true, even if you don’t like it.
It is astounding that shopping in the women’s section and changing name are on the list of woman things. The others I can understand as they deal with anatomy – indicating the person kinda grasps what a woman is – but behaviours and names? A person can change their name to anything they like, and again, male and female behaviours? The person asking that question hasn’t the faintest clue if they do not know how damaging that idea is.
Well, they deal with anatomy in a sense, but the dealing is cosmetic/superficial in the same way changing names is superficial. A fake vagina is fake; fake labia are fake. It’s all fake, because fakery is all they have.
This is the sort of Inquisitorial, show-trial pull-quote they’ll use in the future to show the sinister, bullying, ridiculousness of gender ideology. (Of course we see it now, but once the madness has passed, there will be those who will claim it never happened, and those who won’t believe it did.) The questioner might think that they’re getting Grover the Heretic to condemn herself with her own words, but it is the question itself that is damning.
TiMs think that if they throw together the right collection of ingredients and stir them around, they’ll pop out a woman.* When this inevitably fails (as it will and must), the next best thing is to force everyone to accept them as “women.” Hence show-trials like this one. That it’s actually come to this shows how much power genderists have, and how deeply the rot that they cultivate has penetrated. This lunacy cannot prevail, but in the meantime, the lunatics are ruining whatever they touch, and doing their best to hurt whosoever stands against them.
*Yet at the same time they believe that none of these outward, stereotypically “feminine” traits is required to claim “womanhood.”
As narcissists are supreme manipulators, like addicts (if you complain about the addiction, you’re driving them to it; if you don’t complain about the addiction, you’re giving permission), they always frame things so that the outcome they want is the ‘fault’ of other people. They are never going to accept that there are any good reasons why they shouldn’t do exactly whatever they want to do; look at Trump.
“Well, you’re the one who said there was nothing whatsoever I could do to satisfy you that I’m a woman – so I’m simply going to declare myself to be one, and you can’t stop me.”
“No, you can’t!” doesn’t even register with them – if they want to, they’ll do it without a twinge of conscience (because they don’t have one; other people are merely NPCs in the game of their lives).
