There's another way to determine by analyzing the toys you played with as a kid. I played with Snoopy, Barbie and Barbie's Redneck council Dusty, so I'm 60% feminine and 40% masculine. But if I apply red lipstick, my gender- spectrum- ratio jumps up to 99% Feminine, so I'm definitely a woman.
Judging by what she looks like and her voice she is middle class from a privileged background with zero experience of life outside that privilege. She's looked for a cause to fight and found trans and is arrogant enough to think she understands. She has zero notion of what is in the mind of a middle aged man with autogynephilia and why they might be the driving force behind trying to sanitize trans. She just the sort of posh naive idiot that is cultivated by these men to fight for them to get the medication and surgeries they so desperately desire. I hope she comes to her senses and realises she should be fighting for women's rights instead.
I suspect useful idiot rather than mentally unwell enough to have a double mastectomy. She's probably an expert on safely binding but avoids it as much as possible herself
I really like your video because I think the concept of "identity" is central to all of this. It is rather common to consider “identity” as something that is real and fixed (at least temporarily). But it's just a concept. And, as you say, labels are a rather fragile ground to live on.
And what, if not sexist stereotypes, would be the connection between identity and body that would be necessary for the idea of "gender incongruence"?
YES. 100,000%. THIS right here is life-saving, life-affirming care. THANK YOU, Amy Sousa. Thank you.
It's crazy that the fight lies here, smack dab in the middle of each of our own individual centers of consciousness.
Though I agree that the TikTokker SEEMS to mean well (and of course she has a right to her opinion and a right to express it), what she is sharing is nothing less than harm: as you said in the video, her message is harmful reification of sexism; it's gender-identity-affirming harm. This self-disbelief system puts an individual at the mercy of (very untrustworthy) others whose agenda she can never be sure of. She must teeter on a rage or fear pinnacle, always working hard to gain this imaginary identity within society, always off balance. So sad.
Tangent: Maybe the cocoon/womb things in the Matrix (don't hold me to this, last time I saw that movie was like 20 years ago) actually symbolize the need for people's psyches to "finish cooking" because we have so many damn immature adult-age individuals now! I think the movie portrays the heroes as victims of a predatory, energy-sucking regime--trapped in those cocoon things--but what if that's just the dim half-perception on the part of a pair of immature, petulant filmmakers of their own need to finish developing as human beings? Again, just a tangent opinion because I really know next to nothing about that film.

I hope she hasn't had her breasts amputated in order to blend more smoothly into their creepy sex & death cult - but I fear that she may well have.

Nobody will know you’re transgender unless and until you get the weird transgender haircut.
It's a shame it's not just hair some of them cut off
