An excellent article and all excellent points.
It does though avoid the other big elephant in the room, which is that trans activism is actively hostile to homosexuality and loudly expresses this. Evidence everywhere, including on many, many MN threads where activists will demonstrate this in real time with monontonous reliability.
Requiring female homosexuals to 'learn to cope' with sex with males rather than commit the heinous heresy of not affirming their believed self, to actually validate a man with their body and expect not to enjoy it or consent to it but do a kind of unpaid sex worker duty thing? Is utterly abhorrent. How is this not conversion therapy? How is this not a part of requiring homosexuals to at least train themselves into bisexuality because to reject male bodies as a sex class group is seen as a crime? How is this not mad homophobia that cannot deal with the existence of a group of people who see sex and choose relationships on the basis of it?
And these kids are growing up in this culture. They are being fed these messages. They are being trained in the ideology at schools and the catcheisms are ingrained. They are being told, repeatedly, (as homosexual MNetters are right here on threads) 'almost no other lesbians feel like this, you are isolated and weird, you are alone, you are a bad person, all other lesbians are doing men and loving it'.
When a kid, a girl particularly, is being told that only evil and terrible people (who should be raped and kerb stomped for it) fail to want or feel they could even 'learn to cope' with sex with male bodied people but that identifying as a man provides her with the freedom to define herself as she chooses and be left alone with all her choices suddenly respected? And she's surrounded by other trained kids who will enforce this all upon her? That her homosexuality means she forfeits her right to sex being a matter of her choice, her pleasure, her consent and becomes something she must do willing or not?
How is she going to be able to come to terms with her homosexuality herself when her learned wisdom from adults is that she is bad, a 'vagina fetishist' at best? How is she supposed to make a choice that is going to come with severe social penalties and bullying and harassment as an immediate consequence? How is she supposed to see a future for herself when she sees women who stand up for their right to be homosexual excluded and harassed? Where are her role models? But transitioning will bring nothing but applause and support and encouragement.
It is going to be a damned sight easier to transition.
Like many other really ugly underbelly realities of transactivism, this one seems to currently just be too ugly to talk about, or too divisive or something for adults. Which is failing kids.
