    They also frame it as biological rather than social. It would clearly be a social phenomenon.

    the claim that it's a biological imperative of some kind is weird but the rest of the argument is just true in my experience and I don't see why people on here are getting so het up about it

    You can't just handwave away the claim about biology as "weird", it's fucked up and signals all kinds of regressive bullshit, so that's why people are upset by it. I don't think it would attract this kind of response if it pointed to sexist marketing and culture or even simply stated the observation without attributing a cause.

    Why are people on the site that has a huge amount of trans people upset at the "leftist" magazine using the same bullshit claims that right wing politicians are currently using to persecute trans people, so mysterious
