There is a huge overlap between (a) the transgender population and (b) the BDSM/fetish/"kink" scene. Only a fool could believe this is not significant. Also, how many transgender people have histories of childhood sexual trauma?
#Transcult: "If you don't validate their identities and support their transition, they'll kill themselves!"
Sane People: "Can we talk about their suicidal tendencies? Maybe the cause-and-effect correlation here isn't what you say it is?" #Transcult: "HATER!"
#Transcult: "Do what I say or I'll kill myself!"
Sane people: "What is this, a hostage standoff? You're not a victim. You're a bully. Take your pronouns and your ideology and go jump off a bridge, for all I care."
With their "transition-or-suicide" rhetoric, the #transcult engages in blackmail, and by promoting this mentality among young people, they are actually encouraging suicide as a symbolic political gesture.
Parents confronted by teenagers spewing #transcult rhetoric have remarked that it sounds scripted. Because it IS a script, popularized by Tumblr blogs, YouTube channels and other online venues that incite Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria.
What do we know about human nature that explains the #transcult phenomenon? "Misery loves company." Malcontents seek to validate their antisocial behaviors and attitudes by recruiting others.
The #transcult denounces all common-sense objections as hate. Your teenage daughter wants to inject herself with testosterone and amputate her breasts? That's dangerous craziness, but you're a "transphobic" bigot if you say so.
Notice how #transcult ideology is based on a craving for validation that justifies bullying other people, compelling them to *participate* in gender fantasies.

The totalitarian nature of the #transcult is revealed by their persistent efforts to silence all who oppose or disagree with them. Their "social justice" propaganda has nothing to do with actual justice. It's about justifying their own power.

Circa 1985, when Andrea Dworkin & Co. were leading the feminist crusade against pornography, most Americans had zero exposure to hard-core porn. I know that I was clueless as to what the fuss was about, never having seen such stuff.
Prior to the mid-1980s, one had to go looking for actual hard core pornography, like at some grimy "XXX" theater or smut shop in the bad neighborhoods of a big cities.
Mrs. Alexander is, of course, correct. Parents should not automatically assume that sending your daughters off to college is the thing to do, simply because that's what everybody else does.
Ideally, however, your daughter will have met and been courted by her future husband *before* she reaches college age. This was the case with our oldest daughter, who met her future husband at 15 and married him at 21.
The "male feminist" is a running joke both among feminists and anti-feminists. Like, dear God, #StopClymer, right? Why is this? Isn't it because the male feminist's motives are so transparently obvious? Yet he expects to be taken seriously?
Or what about @BillClinton? Isn't it obvious that he became a politician for the same reason I, as a teenage boy, learned how to play guitar? Feminists can debate among themselves which is the more honest way a guy can try to get laid.
First, of course, it the "Atrocity Narrative" pretext: A man does terrible thing, thereby authorizing the feminist to write quite generally about ubiquitous male evil. @RationalMale
Second, the feminist never describes males in any context other than in discussing violence, abuse, misogyny, etc. If a man ever did any good thing in human history, no feminist has ever mentioned it. @RationalMale
Observations on "gender": The sexual marketplace is governed by forces that mirror the economics of supply and demand. Humans respond to incentives, but not all responses are rational or advantageous.
Many of those in the so-called "manosphere" speak the language of sociobiology, although it's not clear that they actually understand the fundamental concepts pioneered by E.O. Wilson, Lionel Tiger, et al.
For example, any intelligent person reading the "manosphere" soon gets weary of the dumbed-down and stereotypical "Alpha"/"Beta" discourse. Much of this rhetoric is badly misguided or erroneous.
