Brilliant read!

Wow - that is one of the best things I've read on the whole trans subject.

This is a brilliant and very satisfactory explanation of trans logic. But I'm wondering what makes a person confuse fiction and reality like this?

I'm thinking of my niece when she was two years old and we're being quiet not to wake her baby doll. I'm whispering, and she tells me "No, I don't want to really be quiet, I want to pretend to be quiet!"

More recently (age 4) she introduced me to her new cuddly unicorn and was careful to inform me "He's not a REAL unicorn. He's a toy unicorn." Judging by her expression she was making fun of me which adds another layer of game-playing onto it.

Even very young children can slip in between immersive fiction and what they know of consensus reality and keep it all straight. What causes some adults to get it mixed up like this?

isn't it because if there's no such thing as 'truth', there'sno such thing as 'reality'either?

What an excellent read.

Yes, it's very good! Thanks for sharing it.

allmywhat doesn't your question relate to the section near the start where Stock explains the possible motives for people taking on the belief? - being "kind" or being seen as such, avoiding censure, etc. So they are choosing (consciously or unconsciously?) to immerse themselves in the fiction because they get one or more of these benefits from it (and presumably feel those benefits are more valuable to them than holding on to the reality). Whereas your niece maybe finds she can have just as much fun being only partly immersed in her play worlds, so she can acknowledge reality at the same time. Or maybe it's just the advantage of being two

Really good article that clearly explains the unreality of the trans world, and how people are gaslit into accepting it. Link to The Vice very revealing.

Very interesting, thank you.
There is a young, intelligent and well educated female friend of mine who in pretty much every other aspect of life seems logical and reasonable, but she has completely swallowed the TWAW line. I have often wondered why but it's impossible to discuss it with her without things getting heated. I'm pretty new to all this and not knowledgeable/bright enough to understand every part of this article but I think I understood enough to gain valuable insight into my friend's behaviour so thank you for sharing.
