  • Conflating a cross-dressing kink and trans people is not talking about a variety of spectrums, it’s just innacurate

    One is sexually motivated, the other isn’t. It’s a clear line.

    I agree that people are too complex to be put into boxes, but we can talk about issues without overlapping them with completely separate ideas because of surface level similarities like wearing clothing designed for a different sex than your biological one.

    The spectrum of people with humiliation or cross dressing kicks and trans people are two circles that might overlap like a Venn diagram, but they’re fundamentally different and acting like they aren’t is reducing trans people to sexually motivated fetishists. Its just not accurate

    Again, to be perfectly clear: someone with a bimbofication kink is not on the same ‘axis’ as a trans person, and I find the suggestion that they are to be problematic at best and bigoted at worst

    Edit:

    some people dress full time, but still have the same motivations as Noems’s husband

    This is it really. This is not an accurate or realistic portrayal of trans people. It’s a fun house mirror of trans identities pushed by bigots

  • Look I agree with your main argument about people being varied and complicated. But there’s a couple things there that I think should be called out:

    some are like Noem’s husband and it’s just a sex thing where they feel humiliation but want that

    That’s not transitioning - he didn’t transition. A cross dressing or sissification or bimbofication fetish is one thing and we could debate about misogyny vs kinkshaming or whatever, but whatever way you slice it its different than transitioning.

    Perhaps I’m too caught up on this, but the fact is that people often conflate transitioning with sexual motivations and fetishes inaccurately and in bad faith, and its not accurate

    but still (at least subconsciously) wants to be humialted and that’s why she’s republican

    Similar to the above, I don’t think there’s any suggestion she ‘wants to be humiliated’ rather than acting in her self interest as a wealthy white woman. And yeah possibly there’s internalised transphobia as well or something? But that’s different than wanting to be humiliated, which to me implies some kind of sexual thing. Which again, needs to be entirely divorced from transitioning in the discourse
