Zagria's recent article prompted this post.
Toxic theories about transgender and gender variant people tended to focus on phenomena rather than looking deeply behind it.
In other words, "look there is arousal present. Full stop".
The problem is that this is like making no distinction among the general population between one person getting aroused by feet, the other by having threesomes and someone else by looking at pictures of little kids.
Not only is there unique psychology going on, but some of these cases might be problematic and need to be examined deeply.
Instead, people were happy to identify dysfunction and ran with the ball. They weren't interested in looking further.
"These people aren't normal!" No shit Sherlock. For their part, transgender people represent roughly 1% of the population and the gender variant population (gender non-conforming, non-binary, etc) is a bit larger. So technically you are correct that you are dealing with a minority; now how are you going to help them.
As it turns out, not at all. Eradication is the way instead.
The hard work is always looking beyond the surface level of anything to determine what is going on and then decide on a course of action or, conversely, to do nothing at all.
The thing we need to eradicate most is stupidity.
