      I'm sorry, but if your position requires you to claim that this is not gender essentialism, then you've lost all credibility.

      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

      In my experience at least, TERFs seem about 50/50 split on the question of sexuality. "Born this way" is super popular, but so is a second-wave-ish "any woman can be a lesbian" take.

      They are split between people who think everyone is hardwired to be either straight or gay and people who think everyone is hardwired to be straight, full stop "Political lesbian" TERFs do not actually believe in lesbians and aren't lesbians, they're straight women on strike

          Old school political lesbian discourse was extremely explicit about this - many rejected the idea that being a lesbian involved "sexuality" at all and said imposing a male-invented construct of sexual desire into lesbianism was just more patriarchy

          You can look all this shit up, it used to be very strident and explicit, then their side lost the "lesbian sex wars" and basically hide within the actual lesbian subculture they previously warred against Cf. Julie Bindel apologizing for her rants about "butch/femme dynamics"
