What has been enlightening is that the male posters who declare they are female in some way that come onto this board now are no different to the male posters who declared the same from 5+ years ago.
There is still this sense of persecution that they have developed because female people rejected their male demands that they too are female. What is interesting is that we have seen a resurgence in the claims to have ‘always been female’ or that extreme body modification means that they can claim to be no longer fully male so therefore they must be female.
Either way, the emotional manipulation attempts are high as too the number of emotionally distorted points.
So too, is the dehumanisation of the women who disagree with them. For instance, the use of ‘you lot’ has come around more these days. Hint… we are not objects to be placed into ‘lots’.
The clumsy and obvious attempts to mischaracterise what feminists believe is also part of that. Obviously, if someone thinks they can portray, although falsely, that feminists who reject that any male person can be female are bigots and homophobic to boot, then that makes it easier for that poster to simply discredit what is being said.
It is like the desperate need to present someone’s constructed subjective reality as being more than only ever that single person’s constructed subjective reality. To present it as being material reality and that material reality can be believed away somehow. That if someone can cling onto the belief that they really have become a woman by declaring that those who reject this simply ‘believe’ something different and that it is not one of the abiding material facts of the world.
I think leveraging other people to bolster the impossible contributed to why last night’s posts were incoherent.
The premise that the OP wasn’t the one thinking that the OP was a woman… that was what others believed and how they treated the OP. The sport thing was another example, that it was because OP got ‘dragged into’ playing women’s sports. There were other examples and from not just the OP but from another male poster. Such as leveraging the sexual orientation of partners to support a false claim that a male person can be a female person.
The OP really was showing that things really haven’t changed at all. That some male people simply believe that female people are resources to be convinced of the impossible, solely for the benefit of that male person.
