High af here to shit up this thread with my autistic Deep Thunk
I don't understand how Third Wave feminism had contributed to the rise of troon. Is it really 3rd wave or misinterpretation of 3rd wave? Both are stupid, yes, but is there ideological support for troonism in 3rd wave?
I haven't read as many feminists as many kiwis here do, please let me know
For 3rd wave to make sense, Freud Lacan and Semiology have to all make sense (none does). It's retarded on its own, but how does its logic validate troonism? My halfhearted reading of Butler got sth like "man wear pants performance, women make up performance, man can wear make up, women can wear pants, nbd." Then it would only be reasonable that wearing pants =/= male (because it's constructed), doing make up=/=women (constructed). And if you are a guy who likes pink, doesn't mean you are a woman, and if you are a woman who likes man stuffs, you are just a woman who likes those stuffs. Maybe I'm too optimistic and giving her too much credit in this reading? If this is 3rd wave, it wouldn't make sense for them to want men to chop off dick for liking women stuff etc.
Alas, Butler is now a They/She. Or She/ They I don't know. I think she even said pronouns do not refer to "real" gender/sex/whatever, but people may want it because literally we live in a society. People would want to be a THEY because that's how the society groups them etc. Which is neither her nor there, but I think somewhat understandable. Still, nothing of this says of troonism we have today.
If I'm not overly optimistic about 3rd wave feministm, I think maybe it's their autistic obsession with semiology that muddied the water? Or maybe all of these were part of the antichrist's plan to destabilize traditional values after all. What do y'all think
