      Having unwillingly undergone a five week intensive exposure to "gender critical" arguments, I've concluded that a disturbing number of them boil down to taking "Ew, trans people ick me out" and cranking that feeling up to, "Trans people are an abomination against nature/God/etc."

      Even quite a few of the "scientific" concerns tend to be driven by covert ideological legacies in medicine (or medical personnel). People so center their gender as part of their identity that gender changes are hard for them to understand, it's like a religious belief in a way.

      I've gotten a crash education over the last five weeks, to be sure, and am a bit embarrassed now that I had previously paid so little attention to these issues.

      It's been bubbling up around old lady feminism for ages then seems to have been weaponized by TERFs (see Germaine Greer, to her credit she learned more and changed her stance once she understood more).

      I see it as being similar to how some older white feminists think banning religious head coverings is feminist (it's not, it's generally racist white savoir rubbish, funding shelters and allowing women to work and be independent is more useful and not racist).

      As our guest bloggers have taught me, I now see a lot of parallels with the sorts of claims made about gay people decades ago...

          Oh, yes, it's the same is fear mongering.
