William passed along a video of four men and four women who think they’re men discussing masculinity. (What a weird world we live in!) I had a slow morning, so I watched it.
One interesting element was the generational difference on the trans side. The older “trans man” (i.e., a woman who presents as a man) had much more reasonable views than the younger ones.
For example, the older one was against any form of medical transitioning for children, but did believe in social transitioning — i.e., if you’re a girl who thinks she’s a boy, living as a boy.
I think that’s a matter of degree. A girl who is a tomboy is a different thing than a girl who wants to be called Dave and “he” and wants people to believe she is a boy.
But at least the older one was against giving kids drugs and chopping off pieces of their bodies. It’s almost unbelievable that anybody thinks that’s a good idea.
