My mother has a neurological condition. This condition makes her feel like at times, her feet are being stabbed. Of course this isn’t happening irl, but the majority of decent people wouldn’t tell her that “facts don’t care about the fact that her brain makes her feel like she is being stabbed”
So why don’t we apply this same reasoning to gender? If I say “I don’t feel X”, my concerns will be dismissed because I look like X.
Don’t even know how to make sense of this blatant contradiction
No one will ever tell a person in a wheelchair to just walk it off. Meanwhile they will definitely tell a depressed person to: “Just cheer up!”
Mental health problems barely register for some people, their brains probably just completely shut down when gender enters the equation.
