Gender Theory consistently fails to justify transgenderism largely because it isn't all that concerned with understanding gender. Similarly, none of the other critical theories, notably Critical Race Theory, are very interested in their own subject matter.
Preoccupied with personal theories, anecdotes, feelings, and self-identifications as "data-points," critical theorists' supposed interest in these phenomenon is in no way scientific and, despite silly protests to the contrary, they cannot tell us anything about our species or the nature of our reality in the way fields like that biology and astronomy can. Instead, as you should've noticed by now, these are political theories with entirely political ends.
As facets of Cultural Marxism (the practical strain of Marxism), critical theories exist solely to identify sensitive cultural topics, create toxic premises (ideas that are out of line with reality and cannot be reasonably reconciled with it), and wrap them inside of weaponized narratives designed to achieve virality and hot engagement. The purpose of these efforts is to generate ontological confusion and incite axiomatic conflicts that ultimately result in the break down of established value structures in western, capitalist societies.
Think of toxic premises as viruses purposely injected into a host or recursive bits of code placed inside of a program with the goal of crashing it, because that is exactly what they are.
The two examples of toxic premises relevant to this series include:
Gender Theory:
Man and woman are exactly the same because gender is a meaningless social construct.
Critical Race Theory:
Race doesn't exist. Race is just a social construct.
Both of these propositions are false and, because of this, they lead to absurdities and the stalling of real progress when taken seriously.
All of America's greatest pain-points, for instance, revolve around the fact that there is "inequality" associated with immutable traits. But, there is no way of constructively dealing with the racial and gender-oriented branches of this issue when starting from the idiotic idea that they do not exist (which is the point). Even more importantly, however, you have no idea how to deal with transity (otherwise, "mobility") - which is the solution in these areas - because the premise is completely at odds with the possibility of the phenomenon.
This is why we have such arbitrary, disjointed, and nonsensical chatter regarding what transgenderism is, what "man" and "woman" mean, and "how many" genders there are. It is also why transracialism has been completely ridiculed and ignored back into obscurity. Interacting with these ideas honestly and productively, rather than in destructive perversion requires you to reject the premises upon which Marxists have built their ideological power structures in the west.
But, this series isn't really about Marxism - it's just something (albeit, a big something - among others) in the way. It's the reason we can't talk honestly about these things in the mainstream, so I needed to call attention to that and push it aside.
What will follow is an attempt to present a way of understanding transitioning - or transmorphosis - in a way that is consistent with this reality. It is an attempt to explain that efforts of transity are not degenerative, are not arbitrary, and are, in fact, the exact opposite.
Stay tuned to hear something better and more new.
