Some very smart leftist once said:
“The issue is not the issue. The revolution is the issue.”
The latest leftist cause destroys earlier leftist causes.
Meanwhile the confused “conservatives” still defend the old leftist causes!
“The transgender movement is not a backlash to feminism, it’s a consequence.”
And they’re both the consequences of our obsession with “equality”, and definining fairness as equality.
Feminism and transgerism are to physical body “justice” what “equity is to economic “justice”.
No one should have more than anyone else at the economic level, and no one should not have whatever trait they wants at the physical level.
It’s an all out fight against reality... and guess who’s going to win?
“Feminism is part of the problem but there is more to it than that.”
It’s the delusion (desire?) that you can be whatever you want and that you have the “right” to that.
And medical and technical advances have gotten to a point that you can crudely satisfy those desires and delusions.
I compare it to some woman being unhappy with their hooked nose and wanting very badly to have a pretty nose.
Up until recently you had to live with that unwanted ugly nose, but over the past 50 years or so medicine has gotten to the point that reconstructing that nose into a beautiful thing is no big deal. Same with other cosmetic surgeries.
And so it is with transgenderrism. Some are unhappy with the body they were given, so if they could change it they would. It’s a “pursuit of happiness” type of thing.
Of course changing from a woman to a man is significantly more complex than fixing a nose, but who knows, someday it may be possible to do that as easily as changing a nose.
I cannot even imagine the consequences of that to society. Brave New World, here we come!
When are we men going to be given that option?
Oh, that's right: We're all the "oppressors!"

“We are freed from labels to enter the nihilistic chaos of postmodernism.”
Yes, at its core, postmodernism is the denial of reality and logic, and it’s absolutely the cause of these insanities.
But, reality and logic will get their revenge.
I haven’t quite figured out exactly what that revenge will look like. My best guess, is that our delusional society will disintegrate and societies that are more grounded in reality, like the Chinese or even Muslims will just walk in and take over.
Well, it's largely because the subject matter is self-contradictory and nonsensical.
What you're doing is sorta like criticizing the unintelligibility of an English translation of "Mein Kampf." - If it seems turgid and confused, it's probably not the translator's fault, after all!

Killed a lot of marriages, too.
‘It’s about making women act like men (often the worst aspects of the masculine BTW).’
Yes, a caricature of masculinity. Because none of them actually know what it is to be a man. And of course they covet what they perceive as the benefits of being a man but have no interest in any corresponding responsibilities or burdens.
In that respect, they are exactly like “transgenders”, except with the trannies, the caricaturing can go in either direction.
The Fourth Wave is just the point where “Four Legs Good, Two Legs Bad” becomes “Four Legs Good, Two Legs Better”.
Fem’s die alone without love.... My question is about their cats..., do they or hags die first?
