Keep trying

I see gender criticals trying everything possible to stigmatize transgender people and so they use biology, the sanctity of women's spaces and even that we pity AGP widows (a video I saw recently). You throw something at the wall and hope it sticks.

By now it's well known that sex and gender are independent and some percentage of gender is a social construct (although not all as the case of David Reimer showed us). What gender criticals are desperately trying to do is to perfectly glue sex and gender back together the way they were in the 1950's except that isn't going to happen now. Their futility largely explains their current level of panic.

Within the world of gender variance there are a variety of people who are playing with gender in a way that displeases them and which cannot be allowed. There are also transgender people who don't have a choice in being who they are. But this minority of the population desperately wants to turn back the clock.

It likely occurs to these criticals that much of the way the world was before was based on strict enforcement but they don't care. Much like left handed people were forced to submit to changing hands, they want to sell the idea that being transgender is abnormal rather than a statistical expectation. We simply aren't allowed to exist they insist.

Are transgender people prone to do odd things like everyone else because they have the hace much the same flaws? Of course but that does not remove their validity. But the criticals keep trying to make something stick until it dawns on them that they will not succeed in the long term. 

Because a left hander is always a left hander.
