I feel compulsively drawn to picking apart inconsistencies in neargroup worldviews. I think most trans discourse is glaringly inconsistent, and I really want to talk publicly about how it makes no sense, but I'm afraid this will be interpreted as me not supporting transitioning.

I support the end case and all the vital bits, like i think my final ideal of what is good aligns probably 90% with what a lot of trans activists value, but the entire philosophy they use to get there feels so poorly constructed to me and I have very little respect for it.

Could you write this up or point to someone who you feel articulates it well?

Probably be more interesting to tell us on what conceptual basis you support transitioning then.

They know this is true, even if only intuitively. It's why their instinct is to shame those who reveal inconsistencies.

1. Don't make me deny reality 2. Be more nuanced about trans women in women's spaces That's really all I need to support trans people

ime, people assume "your argument is incorrect" means "I disagree with your conclusion". I try something passive like "I agree with your conclusion, however your argument is flawed, and we shouldn't have flawed arguments because other side will use that to discredit us etc"

that's true of almost any group of this kind. without a single individual to lead the discussion, to be a consistent and ideally educated voice, you just get the arguments of the everyday people. well intentioned, but also abstract and clumsy.

Aella, what you're experiencing is what every person with a brain experiences but is too afraid to say aloud. Humans figured out M/F millions of years ago. What's happening now is a subversion to confuse and demoralize. Look into "Long March through the Institutions" to lrn more

BLM has the same issues. Where the central idea is supported by most, but as an organisation, or the intense end of the semi-organised supporter base, it is deeply toxic, immoral, racist and socialist.
