This must be that famous male proclivity for solving problems rather than talking about them that I've heard so much about! My indeed sexually dimorphic lady brain has been wowed.
As you can plainly see in my other post, I was careful to say that I was not calling him a misogynist, and further, that, having heard the cultural framing he used myself from other sources, I did not know if he even endorsed it rather than simply invoked it.
But rather than respond to the critically important, to women and girls especially, substance of my commentary, relating to the psychological impact of patriarchal framing, he instead has decided a victim role is most appealing, decrying how unfair it is that he's now been labeled as literal evil over OLD SCIENCE of all things…well known to be the least misogynistic topic imaginable. He was just using logic and reason guys. Don't hate him for his nuance!
I'm hoping his post is as tongue-in-cheek as this one, but at the same time, why is it that we can't discuss how unnecessarily misogynist patriarchal framing, whether intentional or reflected, affects women and girls? Why is that topic off-limits?
I just learned something amazing about increase in gender affirming surgeries. Jon Uhler in an interview on YouTube, states it is impossible to change biological sex. He would ban gender affirming surgeries. He treats sexual offenders in prisons and also treats survivors of sexual abuse. survivorsupport.net. He states the real boom in treatments occurred in 2013 when the new DSM-5 was published. It contained a new dx for gender dysphoria--allowing drugs and surgeries to be covered by insurance. If these treatments were not affordable, there would be far fewer of them. Uhler states that many of the presenting symptoms for females wishing to transition are the same as symptoms of sexual abuse survivors--and gender surgeries are another form of sexual abuse! He deplores the lack of mental health treatment for this group. NOTE: Uhler is a specialist in diagnosing/treating psychopathy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwgoIx7vPTs&t=6s
i'll fix it for him. "i felt put upon, but really i'm not a victim. it's scary to listen to women to learn something new."
