I've been getting your free posts for a bit and they've been fantastic. But it was #13 above that has me committing my financial support. It's astounding to me that you're the only one I've read who states the obvious problem of the "stereotypically-ideal behaviour of compliant public femininity." I'm an old feminist, very self-aware from an early age that females tend to the above, starting with a natural (imo) inclination to be accommodating but then being socialized to develop that and conform to an extreme beyond what is "natural," to their own detriment. As a middle-aged woman who doesn't conform to the radical, 7/24 accommodating feminine stereotype (and never did), I thank you. Then there's the excellent next paragraph where you state "I don’t recall gays and lesbians urging the youth to take drugs and go under the surgeons knife..." Touche! Gays and lesbians made a mistake when they did the "feminine" thing and accommodated, the T. Time to cut their losses and send the T to the psychiatrist (and/or prison), where they belong.
Thanks so much for your response Kmick, and the points you raise. I sometimes think I'm being too ambitious with my own brief! It's like trying to grapple with ALL the tentacles of this beast all at the same time, which is impossible, to come at it from all angles. I've found myself simply deconstructing gender, but also trying to keep it relevant to my pinned story. This ideology turns the sweetest of souls into cult foot soldiers who just mimic the appalling behaviour of the group. The model simply maps onto the individual and it's all I can do to point out how our daughter has become the sort of person who has completely betrayed her own parents by inventing a fabricated past to fit her current oppression narrative - in the chapter of a book for LGBTQ+ Role Models in Education. It's the ideology and the indoctrinators that has sucked all the spirit out of her, all the curiosity and humour, being "Queer" of course, I learn this week the aim of Queerness is to smash heteronormativity in order to unite all LGBTQ+ together as one big band. Who, in her life represents the biggest show of cishetnormativity if not the 2 beings that brought her into existence, her parents.
I’m a gay man and all this terrifies me. But I’m so glad there’s a growing chorus of pushback. I do my part by raising questions in my own immediate circles, but I’m basically a ghost on social media after publishing something related to trans women in women’s sport prompted a chorus of strident (and sobering) backlash, entirely out of proportion with the mild piece I shared.
