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
Self-ID is about *overturning* the idea that someone can look at you and say "Well, you wear suits and ties, you work as a lawyer, you've got a beard, you're just plain not a woman"
