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.
“Gender expectations” have fed thousands of years of oppression for women. We have been expected to conform to a particular standard in dress, makeup, and behavior. Now we have yet another group defining us by what we wear, and how gender-conforming we are. If you do not conform to your gender, you must be the opposite one. Voila, case proved!
This is so regressive, and so wrong. “Cisheteronormativity” is simply the idea that “I yam what I yam”. Now, if you want to question philosopher’s wisdom, I’m right there with you, but not if that philosopher is Popeye!
All kidding aside. The “norm” is two sexes, male and female, with different reproductive roles. Giving it an unpronounceable name and surrounding it with words about how bad it is doesn’t change anything. Woman is female. Man is male. These roles are decided by our reproductive biology, not our desires or our magic gender soul.
So this makes the gender ideologues unhappy? Well, guess what? It makes me unhappy having men in the restroom with me, or the changing room. It makes me unhappy when men take women’s prizes, women’s jobs, and women’s places on sports teams. It makes me unhappy to think there are biology teachers out there teaching that sex is not binary, thus screwing up generations of kids for however long it takes to get it straightened out. It makes me unhappy to be threatened with barbed wire wrapped baseball bats and guillotines. It makes me unhappy to see long centuries of work toward equality being undone in a few short years because some men want to wear dresses.
Two sexes is normal. The expectations that go along with those two sexes are not; they are imposed by society, and can be changed.
We’ve all seen the attempts to equate gender critical views to racism, with talk of segregation and seperate-but-equal and the asinine ‘read what you just said but with black people instead of trans and see how bigoted it is’. It doesn’t take an oracle to see where they’re going next when they say
Brace yourselves for cries of ‘institutionalised transphobia’.
I have long maintained my own preferred identity, which is that of a giraffe. (Preferred pronouns: gronnnnnk, merrrrrgh.) It upsets me greatly when humans ridicule me for this, the result of my free thought and my free choice. They should all be locked up in some zoo, and they would be if there was any justice in the world. (Sob.!!)
I’d just like to note here that ubiquitous roundearthnormativity impacts the core emotional needs of flatearthers.
The ’emotional impact’ of being a trans person in the world originates from the trans person. This person after all has a psychological issue with the sex of their own body, in a world where most people accept being male or female. I don’t know whether it arises from a brain chemistry imbalance, a trick of the arrangement or neurons, or some other thing, but a trans person has reduced quality of life as a result of that thing. But of course we must pack the living space of trans people with soft cotton wool to comfort the poor dears… and blame the rest of the world for their distress.
