Absolutely! It is Very “Buffalo Bill,” as in the Silence of the Lambs. I think this became “a thing” when video games like 2nd Life and others became popular, where players could create Avatars. A lot of people became obsessed with alternate realities and incorporated these concepts into their own consciousnesses.
It’s cultural appropriation. Normally that term has become devoid of meaning as it is used to any situation in which someone refers to another culture, whether they benefit from it or not. But in the case of women I posit that we have our own culture, a set of beliefs, behaviours, language, clothing, rituals etc that are unique to us, which are appropriated by men and bastardized for their own benefit. They subsume women’s roles and place in this way, producing a simulacrum of womanhood.
Thank you, as always, for your cogent insights. I would be interested to hear your thoughts about how gender ideology affects women who claim to be men.
When your life is not grounded in spending time in Nature, with other people and having actual experiences in the world, this 2 dimensional world can take over, especially if you’re young and perhaps autistic.
Isn’t lived reality just reality? Can someone experience reality, with being alive? Likewise, isn’t lived experience also just experience? What is unlived experience? How do you experience something, if you’re not living it?
I'm playing around with an app I'm using to transcribe short videos like this for my writing.
I tested it out on this video, so I thought I'd share it just in case you'd like to use it for something.
Awesome work, as always. I'm always eager to watch your new clips.

Trans ideology is the literalization of objectification. I'm gonna talk about three things.
I'm gonna talk about how it is compartmentalization, I'm gonna talk about how it is commodification, and I'm gonna talk about how it is consumerism. But let's start with our example.
So there is a man, let's say. He rejects his sex for whatever reason.
Men who reject their sex are having a sex-specific experience. To feel your body, to feel your male body, to not like how your male body feels, that's all male-specific.
And then to reject that feeling, that, to dissociate from that feeling, that is also male-specific. These men have no access to understanding what female is, so they look outside themselves.
They either see how women are treated in society, what women look like, uh, how women behave, what they are allowed. That is all external projection.
They are looking at something external to them, and they are picking it apart. They are compartmentalizing that experience.
They have no idea what it is to be conceived as a female human being and to live a life on a female developmental path. That is experiential.
They have no access to that experience, so they necessarily are projecting their mental ideas onto that experience and then picking and choosing, picking and choosing different things of femaleness and then putting it on their body. So that is the compartmentalization, okay?
And then it is commodifying those things. They are purchasing those things.
They are purchasing drugs. They are purchasing plastic surgeries, facial feminization surgeries, breast augmentations, hip augmentations, um, uh, the, uh, bottom surgeries.
All of these are, again, compartmentalizing and then commodifying, making those purchases, and then literally consuming those purchases and putting them onto their own body. These are flattened, stereotypical things.
It is to thingify or toolify the opposite sex and then again to break it into parts, purchase it, and consume it onto you. This is objectification because it reduces the human female's lived humanity, which is an experiential process.
It, it reduces and flattens those things into stereotypical things, again, that can be purchased, compartmentalized, and consumed. So this is objectifying.
And when we, or not me, but some, when some people agree as a culture that a woman is something that can be cut up into parts, purchased, and consumed, that creates a culture in which women are reduced to those stereotypes. This is very harmful for women and girls in the ideas that it perpetuates and disseminates into society.
So our lived humanity , our human experiential, uh, uh, process that we are always experiencing is dissociated from that physical experience and made into an image, made into a projection, something that is cosmetic and superficial that men can perform, purchase and perform. So it takes this embodiment that we are always having and flattens it and reduces it.
So this is an attack on our lived humanity, and of course, as well, it is attack on our language and our ability to advocate for ourselves politically on the basis of sex. But if culture agrees that women are not a lived humanity, but are flattened cosmetic stereotypes, then it is much easier to take away our rights because we are no longer human beings with physical needs and needs to advocate for ourselves politically.
We are simply a cosmetic appearance that anyone of any sex can appear as. So I say no thank you to this objectification, and I call this out as objectification when I see it.

Yessss. I believe Second Life was a huge influence on what's happening.

Thank you so much.
Did you edit this after the automated transcription, or are you actually using an app that transcribes non-words like "thingify" and "toolify"?
It is an extension of consumerism and the whole online lifestyle that we are all forced into now.
