      Yeah this is coming down the pike too The logical next step after conversion therapy is corrective rape You see the seeds of it planted in TERF narratives like "I grew out of being a tomboy when I started dating" and "I learned how wonderful a female body is through pregnancy"https://twitter.com/drdevonprice/status/1377629446841237508 …

      Noticing TERF detransitioners talking amongst themselves lately about how getting pregnant helped w their gender dysphoria. Which adds a new sinister layer to their resistance to young trans people getting blockers & their emphasis on "alternate treatments" for transness

      There was an academic paper some years back on what the author called "Caddy Woodlawn syndrome" -- the storyline, extremely common in middle grade books with girl protagonists, where the girl is a tomboy and "runs wild" and hates everything girly, but

      at the climax of the novel, the girl is forced into more feminine behavior and realizes it's not THAT bad and this is when she Becomes A Woman. It's a coming-of-age story arc.

      Jack Halberstam talked about the trope in Female Masculinity, as well, back in 1998.

      And I'm thinking about this, but there's a historical European cultures thing as well, with childhood as an undifferentiated time of gender that turns into adulthood when gender is sorted. i.e., babies/toddlers being dressed alike, some tolerance of ambiguous behavior

      But they you move from dresses to short pants/short dresses to long pants/long dresses, long hair to short/long hair to longer hair, and bam! You have become a "young man/lady."

      Culturally we still strongly associate androgyny with neoteny, which is tied strongly to gender as reproductive role ("everyone is a child until they're a parent") Being infantilized is something all trans people deal with but that hits non-binary people specifically

      Which is why it's so easy for TERFs to invoke the canard of pederasty, claiming a sinister agenda that "transing kids" means "wanting to keep them childlike forever" (which is the exact opposite of what activists want)

      But it's a general thing, you see even married binary trans people with kids suddenly being talked down to as snotty teenage brats immediately after they transition, because they transitioned

          Yes, and they keep acting like questioning this path is either brand new (no) or ancient and not needed because ancient. It's exhausting. I've been thinking about this a lot with regards to how babies are often given the pronoun "it" in old texts before they develop speech.

          Speech seems to be the moment when gender first enters the picture in a lot of 18th/19th century British texts, even if the birth of an heir might be celebrated before that stage.
