They justify everything they want by citing their 'studies', obviously conducted in a highly biased manner by raving lunatics. As if we do not know about the fraudulent nature of most 'studies'.
There are things you can conduct rigorous scientific studies on, and things you cannot. All the shit people tend to cite when supporting leftist nonsense is usually in the latter category, conducted with artificial rigor to make it look like they did something. Even among most things you can study, 80% of studies are crap. Like nutrition studies, since most of them are based on self reporting, which is usually made up or inaccurate.
You can also typically read any study in the opposite direction to be used against their point. Saying kids usually ‘know’ their gender and sex by the age of 4-5 is used here to mean we have to fight against it. You could also use it to mean that even a child knows if they’re a boy or a girl and alternative genders aren’t a thing.
‘Identifying as’ also isn’t a thing. If you’re a man, or a woman, or like guys or girls or whatever, you just are that thing. Self-identifying is another way of saying ‘I pretend to be’, and I’ve never heard any usage of it that goes against that. They’ll say shit like “colonialism made the gender binary” when all cultures recognize the gender binary and often build it deeply into their language because of how important it is.
I went to college with someone that I think is representative of how people fall into all this. You get someone lost and confused at a vulnerable time in their life, fill their head with nonsense, and then give them religious purpose without the productive parts of religion. I’ve seen plenty of people turned in that way. They’ll usually then claim to be their own special category, and get with someone of the same sex that simply dresses and looks like a member of the opposite sex. Not just in terms of clothing and haircuts, but everything. Chicks that look like actual dudes.
How gay and nonbinary are you if you still ended up being attracted to someone that looks like a dude? Girl I’m thinking of’s wife looks like plenty of her ex BF’s because of how butch she is.
Self-identification is really the crux of this and why this whole thing is a religion. Their interpretation of the Self is that it is an immaterial soul-like entity that is thrown into the universe. The idea that the material world impacts the Self in any way is verboten and anyone who says it does or should is their enemy. Facing any of the constraints of a body at all is seen as an unjust cruelty of nature to be corrected by technology. This is why they use language like "black and brown bodies" as well.
If I had to pick between a caricature of religious zealots that want someone thrown in jail for wearing a skirt that’s too short, or the average Wokey, I’d rather the world be run by crazed religious fundamentalists. At least with them the values they’re trying to hold to have a measure of objective value and productive worth. There is no benefit to anything woke. They’re mostly creating and encouraging derangement and mental illness. The caricature of one is trying to discourage openly gay people and things like that, but the reality of the other is an actual war on white people and straight white men and calling for them to die in public.
The religious stereotype is trying to control language by not having you say God is gay or to overuse curse words. There’s an objective standard there. The Wokey stereotype is trying to police every thought you’ve ever had and making up new rules of language that don’t even work. Christian zealots still tried saying we’re all equal under God, with Wokies saying we’re all inherently unequal and need to be separated and treated according to skin color and that if you’re Christian you’re insane.
I can’t think of anything about what the left is afraid of that isn’t actually better than what they’re doing openly every day. Every conversation with them is like a big con job where you enter into mental gymnastics to appreciate their non existent point. At least with something like Christianity, you see people saying “our people have held for thousands of years that it’s a bad idea to do X and Y, so we don’t want people to do X and Y.”
Christianity seems to work a lot better than what was come up with to replace it. Postmodernism is defined exclusively by being nonsense.
Isn’t there some study they cite that it’s important to teach kids that young about sex? I’m sure that study has been debunked
