Young TRA women and their motivations

[LittleWhingingWoman]

So I don't understand where young women in particular left their lived understanding of men behind in favour of drinking the "Be Kind" potion.

Have they never experienced sexism? I'd find that hard to believe. Do they think if a man puts a skirt on he magically becomes a girl?
It's almost like they don't grasp what is going to happen to them. Do they think that TW are their allies?

It's incredibly bizarre.

Now who's being condescending? I too have studied Marxism critically as a professional economist and of course it continues to inform my views too. Even right wing economists will agree if pushed that Marx was right on a lot of things. What I meant to say, but obviously failed in saying, was that using ideologies or philosophies as tools for youthful pretentious posturing used to be questioned by those in charge of educating young people but now no longer is to the detriment of young people. I have no hesitation in saying queer theory is a daft and dangerous ideology, however, and will continue to do so.

Interesting that they are horrified by the thought of being racist (rightly so) so can clearly understand that the lived reality of, say, Black people is often different / harsher than their own experiences. I can sympathise, and do everything I can to challenge racism, but my lived reality is not the same as that of a BAME person. Most people understand that straight away, but cannot make the same leap to see that a trans person who identifies as a woman, sometimes just part-time, is not having the same material reality and lived experience as a woman.
