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

Having a penis is negotiable?

Yup, I mean it's costly, but it's eminently negotiable
