The #MutualAid Housewives of Bluesky County

If a man says that he is a woman, that is evidence you can literally become who you were always meant to be. That the defined power roles of gender are a buncha nonsense.

See, this continues to be the step that to me feels like everyone just accepted uncritically and I can't figure out why. Not only is it unfalsifiable it doesn't make any sense as a claim in and of itself.

How can someone possibly know if they feel like a woman or man? It presupposes that anyone, or everyone, knows what it feels like to be a gender. But gender isn't a thing that anyone can feel like.

You're baking multiple unfalsifiable claims into each other:
1. Gender has a feel.
2. People know what every gender feels like.
3. There is a correct gender for everyone.
4. People can identify which gender feels correct and perfectly so.
5. Whatever gender you feel like at any moment is correct. (Not sure on this one, reading the theory is unclear on this point.)

Nobody's ever demonstrated a single one of these to be true or even possibly true, let alone all of them. The amount of premises you have to grant is incredible. Perhaps the biggest one is that "social constructs" are not in fact constructed by society and imposed (if they are) from the outside but are entirely an individual identity based on personal emotions. When Tom Hanks was stranded on that island he constantly felt his gender.

If it's not questionable how anyone could believe this to begin with, they don't stop there, they go a whole additional step and conclude that this "feeling" is proof that their body has a medical disorder that has never been identified and requires them to pursue something literally impossible.

It's one thing for abject morons like Shreds and Kyuuji, but how could any field of any considerable reasoning take any of this remotely seriously? But then I remember my one of my own and how Marxism still holds such sway despite similarly being based on unfalsifiable premises for which no evidence exists.

At least with typical religions they have that whole centuries of cultural build-up thing, this is like people becoming Scientologists. They even try to remove their thetans for the same reason.

i am a car. i drove on the road, but got hit by another car. and they totalled me.
why did that car erase my identity?

Oh, look, the One Joke.
