I feel like the forced birth pipeline starts very early - insisting that girls and women fit into gender norms and prioritize marriage and children above all else. Making them critical of their bodies and appearances to serve this purpose. I even think transphobia is another manifestation of this - reducing people to their “biological” functions and using that to determine where in the societal hierarchy they fall. The same thing has been done with race time and time again. This is why you can’t fall for what appear to be academic debates about “when life begins” and “are trans kids in sports getting an unfair advantage.” It’s never about those things at all, and in fact, those are deliberate, reasonable-sounding talking points generated to try to recruit more people to bigotry.

@shantini There is a theory that homosexuality is a natural population control. Not sure how well founded or developed that idea is, but it seems like a concept worth deploying against those who attempt to push the rigid socialization of shoe-horning all women into a role.

@shantini Although I guess it would still fail to steer people away from using biological purpose as a driver for their ideologies.. it would perhaps just hack on it by changing their concept of biological purpose.

@shantini I have to say I don’t see how this relates to non-cis athletes. Consider this thread: https://catcatnya.com/@wyldcat/110535921108411701 Consider that a woman could train her whole life to be the best in her sport, to then have to compete against someone with a male-level of testosterone. It’s not about biological purpose. It’s absolutely about advantage & disadvantage.
