The core emotional needs

Oh good, a new study.

Cisnormativity impacts core emotional needs of transgender and gender diverse people

Great title. “Cisnormativity” is meaningless and “impacts” is the wrong word. Also: yes, and? To put it in less pseudo-technical terms: knowing that people can’t change sex makes gender lunatics sad. No doubt it does, and hearing from gender lunatics makes the rest of us bored and impatient and irritated.

What in fact are the “core emotional needs” of gender loonies? That’s an easy one. Attention. Constant undivided lavish flattering gushing attention.

Guess what. They can’t have it. Two big reasons: one, we have other things to do with our attention, and two, our attention can’t be flattering because gender lunacy is so absurd and tedious and narcissistic and stupid.

Shall we read a little of the piece?

Despite thousands of years of diverse gender expression, many trans and non-binary people still grapple with the impact of cisnormativity: the belief that cisgender people (people whose gender matches the body they were born with) are ‘normal’ or ‘right’, while others are not. 

Sneaky move. Diverse gender expression is one thing and belief that people can change sex is very much another. Wear engineering boots or ballet slippers, whatever, but you remain the sex you are, end of story, pass the mashed potatoes.

The pressure to conform to this expectation can significantly affect mental health: societal messaging around gender being determined by biology, for example, may affect someone’s ability to feel safe and happy as themselves. 

Ohhhh no you don’t. Stop right there. Sneaky move again. Knowing that people can’t change sex is not “pressure to conform to this expectation.” Those two items are separate. It’s intellectual malpractice to pretend they’re the same. It’s pathetic how heavily the trans dogma relies on this kind of malpractice instead of coming up with a good argument.

And in conclusion:

The researchers propose several changes to better support trans people’s emotional wellbeing: promoting diverse media representation, pushing for changes in healthcare and law to support autonomy and safety, providing affirming resources to families to meet attachment needs, and supporting peer connections to enhance feelings of acceptance. These suggestions all underline the team’s main conclusion: that targeting manifestations of cisnormativity across society is essential to ensure transgender and gender diverse people have their emotional needs fully met, and allow them to thrive as their authentic selves.

And by “their authentic selves” we of course mean their pretend selves. Very scholarly; much professional.
