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
(Embodied cognition modifies this claim slightly, but does not invalidate it.)
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?"
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
This. I've been having flashbacks
Women writing erotica was eeeeevil!
Also the first time I heard the phrase "politically correct" it was about whether women who used dildos should be allowed to consider themselves lesbians (penetrative sex, see.)
Yeah I tell people to gird their loins and be prepared There's nowhere too bizarre and perverse and invasive for this discourse to go in the future because there was nowhere too weird for it to go in the past
