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?"

TERFs refuse to let go of that idea so they say "Your gender is determined by your thoughts and feelings" is this huge, massive, shocking claim When really it's just a fucking tautological claim

Like, again, this speech from 1994 lays it out in the starkest possible terms -- the right to express your gender is like the right to express an opinion How is it "essentialist" to say "Your opinion is determined by what you think about things"

I'd post the gif of PhilosophyTube making fun of Evola claiming that people could be "transcendentally male" but that's got retrospectively awkward, but the point is that it's not "determinism" at all
