      Arthur asserts that being trans is about genes and the environment just like 'literally every other thing that humans can be'. He does this because he likes the sciencey truthiness of the words.

      But of course, humans can be lots of things for which the immediate genetic component is close to zero. For example: catholic, hungry, covered in jam. If a parent brings their children up to believe in a literal religious truth, the fact of the children's shared DNA

      "Some combination" of genes and environment can be 100% of one or the other for a given trait. Trying to refute Arthur's point by saying some traits are 100% environmental demonstrates that you literally don't understand the conversation.

      I mean yeah look maybe Ken Zucker is right and any boy born into a family where the mom works outside the home and acts like she's smarter than her husband will make him hate himself and decide he wants to be a girl now

      I think that's a pretty fucked up narrative, myself, but like I just said, I made a New Year's resolution not to care about this whole fucking argument SO WHAT if that's what makes kids "turn trans" Why is "making kids turn trans" a bad thing in the first place

      Unearthing the Zucker files gives us all this shocking reactionary shit he successfully pressured parents into doing Like this mom actually did quit her job and become a housewife out of fear that her kid might "persist" and grow up to be a trans woman

      And you've got to be really fucking transphobic -- you've got to hate trans people A LOT -- to derail your entire fucking life to this extent just to "protect" your kid from this outcome, to have this be the most important fucking thing you can do for your kid

      If Ken Zucker is right that modern feminism is throwing gender roles into chaos and making kids question "What does it even mean to be a boy or girl?" and causing a wave of transitions... So what? Who cares? Why is that not all good? More power to them?

      (The whole concept behind the branding of "gender-critical feminism" is TERFs fighting back HARD against this narrative -- they're terrified of the idea that their feminism and their disgust at trans people will bump heads That the modern "trans narrative" is "their fault")

      (Their terror of this is *overwhelming* and their narrative is *obvious* overcompensation -- "No, transness is actually a resurgence of old-school 1950s sexism! If people really understood what feminism meant no one would ever consider being trans!" -- and it's bleakly funny)

      (Why not just fucking not care? You don't have to go to any trans person's transition party if you don't want to But why not just fucking let it go? Why not be chill? Why not accept other people living their lives the way they want, using the words and concepts they want?)

          Like I've heard SO MANY stupid theories about what makes kids trans, and none of them are a compelling argument to ban the thing unless you just hate trans people They're all things that are also good and give people pleasure and make people happy

          Feminism made people trans (right-wing argument)? Good, feminism and transness are both good things Porn made people trans (TERF argument)? Good, porn and transness are both good things

          Control. For transphobes (and homophobes and racists and Fortune 500 CEOs and various others) a loss of control means a loss of their identity - their identity is so bound up with notions of controlling the dominant narrative that anything that upends that is a threat.
