      The fuck do you even know about it You read an article in The Sun and you know everything this exercise consists of? Like your oh-so-accurate reporting about Mermaids' "jelly baby" trainings?

      No, they're out of context photos where you relied on the fact that people would take your editorializing captions as gospel and not watch a tape of the whole training

      So in what context is this shit *not* teaching regressive stereotypes - the 1950s?

      The training is explicitly about finding different ways to label your gender -- your "masculinity" vs. "femininity", your social role of breadwinner vs. homemaker, your height/weight/muscle mass, your genitals -- and how they don't actually match up with each other or correlate

      So teaching that being a “masculine” is to be the “breadwinner” isn’t regressive?

      It's a cultural stereotype that exists but is ultimately overturned by self-identification

      *Reinforced* by 'identification' surely? A man dressing as Barbie overturns stereotypes. A man dressing so and thus *claiming* to be a woman reinforces them.

      Perhaps, but that's no different from stating that someone must be a man because they're over six feet tall, or they have muscular arms and legs, or they have a deep voice, or they have a penis The point of self-ID is all of these are negotiable

      It is a fact that plenty of trans women don't dress as Barbies -- in fact plenty of trans women dress as GI Joes, or as some eclectic mix of the two "styles", or in a way that makes no reference to the masc/femme spectrum at all

      Indeed, it's the old school medical gatekeeping that demands "proof" of "genuine" gender dysphoria based on wearing a dress, saying that in order to get a GRC you must "live as a woman" for a certain period of time, as though that has a fixed definition
