      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

      Like, they are the ones stridently insisting fluidity of orientation can't possibly be a thing and if you claim it is you're advocating conversion therapy and abuse Their strident "protect lesbians" rhetoric is at the level where they don't even seem to think bisexuality exists

      They all clap and cheer when Glinner etc sneer at bi/pan people as "straight kids trying to seem cool" and yelling "queer is a slur and it doesn't describe a real thing" and so on

      Anyway, the "genderists" are the ones saying that gender is complex and can be described as different things at different times under different circumstances (non-binary identity) and can be experienced by the subject as changing over time (fluidity)

      And that the evil of conversion therapy is that it's trying to change something externally and against your will, not that it's changing something that's in principle impossible to change

      It's interesting that you say this - do you think conversion therapy (if there was a "successful" version out there) would be okay if it was authentically desired? Serious question, I honestly can't guess what you'd say there.

      I dunno, I think it's possible for someone who didn't use to like eating meat to start eating meat and enjoy it, or even to intentionally try to make themselves eat it to "broaden their horizons" and have it work

      I think, however, that someone who sees their own dislike of meat as some kind of disorder or deficiency and tries to embark on an actual program to forcibly change this about themselves has some serious other issues going on and is in an unwell place

          At a certain level either you do like something or you don't like it and complicated mental constructs along the lines of Romans 7:15 ("I like this but I DON'T WANT TO LIKE IT") collapse

          This really isn't that complicated or big a deal tbh Social conservatives - including TERFs - are right now trying to attack LGBT people with the "recruitment narrative" by just doing a judo flip on conversion therapy
