This seems really important. So much of “trans” seems to involve preoccupation with how one is perceived by others within a very traditional gender binary. We used to celebrate gender nonconformity (at least within the coastal liberal cities where most women of this is concentrated). No longer.

My 50-something lesbian sister was lamenting this around Pride. What happened to the Dyke March? It’s almost nonexistent now. Lesbians are all middle-aged women like my sister, while gender non-conforming young women are identifying as trans while lamenting being seen as short, weak, pudgy men.
Yes. It brings to mind the phrase, “the internalized oppressor.” These young women clearly think being a lesbian (and an autistic one at that) is a disgusting, horrible fate. It feels a bizarre time warp.

You mean sex roles, correct?
