The root cause of all this nonsensical belief in 'transgenderism', that one can change one's biological sex, is the idiotic ideology of 'intersectionality', which has been adopted not just by anarchists, but by most of the green movement (hence not surprisingly most of the vegan movement) and a considerable proportion of the political left.

What I see is an overemphasis on creating a social identity in our culture and then aligning one's self with expectations of that identity. Along with an intentional ignorance at some conscious level pretending that our sexuality is some huge overriding factor in our self worth. I think that ties in with the overemphasis on romanticism, a delusion that the right partner is going to make you complete and so one needs to fashion themselves into an object they think can be loved by someone who they believe, like Jerry McGuire, will complete them.

There's also an obvious problem in our society with self acceptance. We are steeped in ego and chasing after things we think will make us valid only to find when we acquire that external situation that it didn't satiate like we thought it would. And body self acceptance is a huge issue as proven by the extensive use of cosmetics, image filters, hours spent looking at ourselves in the mirror, or feeling pride or shame when we see a photo of ourselves. This culture is a living embodiment of Narcissus and normalizes our vanities. Rejecting your body at any time in my opinion is a form of judgmental self hatred.

My take is that kids shouldn't be questioning their identity, they should just authentically be and reject being a self-limiting label. Questioning one's motivations great, questioning what rote cultural role you want to identify with isn't a valid line of thought at any age. And the reason that kids are questioning their cultural gender identity so much now at earlier ages is largely because adults put that idea in their heads and not because we've reached some new state of societal enlightenment. Though certainly non-judgment and acceptance are important to understand, but when it's just selectively framed, seemingly for politicization purposes, then there is an underlying manipulation there.

The corporate and state support of lockdown and transgenderism is more than enough for an Anarchist to smell a rat. They seem to have lost their sense of smell…
