      Also, I feel the role of acceptance is massively undervalued. Someone who is in a bigoted environment is less likely to even think about being trans. If parents had regular conversations about gender; the number of people who would be able to identify as GNC would increase

      See yeah I'm actually perfectly fine with saying trans-accepting parents are more likely to have trans kids, and that there is a "social contagion" of trans acceptance within communities making it more likely for kids to come out

      Why on Earth shouldn't that be true? It'd be absurd to argue that there don't seem to be more gay people around now than in the 1950s It's only when you put a sinister black-and-white gloss on things like this that it becomes a battleground

      This idea of black-and-white definitions -- "You're EITHER trans or cis, you're EITHER gay or straight, you're EITHER male or female" -- that is the essence of homophobic bigotry that LGB Alliance types have tried to retcon into being a big gay tradition

      And I think people fall into the trap of trying to defend ideas like this because they don't want to give oxygen to the idea "conversion therapy works" etc. Which, again, I see as a mistake -- it's not about whether conversion therapy "works", it's a moral atrocity either way

      *Of course* some people who live in a homophobic society who are subjected to conversion therapy will, as a result of this, avoid gay sex and stay in het marriages who otherwise would've Of course that's why they do it

      I disagree with conversion therapists about what's going on under the hood in such a scenario -- I think the societal benefit of doing this isn't worth the suffering and trauma it causes But from a black-box perspective of securing compliance, sure, it works just fine

      Plenty of trans kids with affirming parents and communities are coming out early in life who, if they'd been born in 1970, likely would've never come out in their entire lives, and just suffered silently with feelings and impulses they didn't know what do with That's good!

      The terfs are reminding me of the toxic side of the Behaviorist movement in psychology. The idea was that all behaviour and actions are the result of external stimuli, there's no underlying thought or reasoning behind anything. If someone does something weird, their (con't)

      perception is off, it's not that they have a thought process that's not what the psychologist thinks is "normal". A lot of terfs refuse to believe that people have their own internal lives and that all that exists is what you can see from outside. Which is obviously wrong.

      The fundamental basis of any "ROGD"-style moral panic is stripping agency away from kids who make decisions you don't agree with and it's horrifying And as we can see with "ROGD parents" it doesn't stop as actual kids, they'll treat you as crazy all through adulthood

          And it is in fact based on this really creepy wishful thinking that internal states just don't exist That if you can browbeat or threaten or pressure someone into *pretending* not to be trans around you, that means you've actually changed who they are inside, you've "cured" them

          It always makes me wonder what the internal thought processes of these people are actually *are*. Is there just...no introspection or any level of situational analysis? Do they really just go through life exclusively reacting to things without any inner life?

          It's in some ways a rhetorical descendent of the ableism and ageism kids have dealt with in the modern world already. Their agency doesn't count, it's not "real", because they lack some ineffable maturity.
