      Yeah unless you are a dualist, every single feature of the "personality" is a "physical feature of the brain" and there is nothing remarkable about this claim

      Right, like I think the strawman here is that "genderists" believe gender is some completely immutable metaphysical truth stamped on your soul from birth by God And of course I don't believe gender is that, I don't believe things like that exist Who does

      The irony is that TERFs do believe this about "biological sex" (it's an obvious, immutable, clear distinction "stamped on every cell of the body" etc) and are projecting - "Well if THAT isn't the immutable truth then what is?"

      Replying to @arthur_affect @ReinH and

      The thing being, TERFs also do believe in this kind of immutable truth about "between the ears" stuff - like sexual orientation - and find any suggestion of fluidity in that regard deeply threatening and violating etc

      Biological determinism serves the same ideological function as theological determinism using precisely the same arguments, they've simply switched out the object of discourse and hoped nobody noticed.

      "You are like this because god made you this way and there's no point in trying to be something else" becomes "You are like this because genes made you this way and there's no point in trying to be something else" and no one skips a beat.

      But... this is literally the position of a large section of transgender activists re: gender identity??? An explicitly "born this way" gender model is extremely common, arguably the default model in public discourse today.

      You're behind the times, buddy, "born in the wrong body" is OUT and enbies and fluidity are IN

          This is what's kind of funny about this, that this is actually a somewhat fraught cultural fight "within the community" and the TERFs are just blissfully unaware of it because they're ignorant hacks

          Everything they know about trans people - even stuff they could use as ammo if they were inclined - is awkwardly and painfully out of date, at least ten years behind the times
