Womanhood and Pregnancy as Cosplay
I’ve been wondering if there would come a point where women would stand up and object to the idea that men can just become women simply by virtue of feeling like a woman. And the response to this gives me hope that one day, they just might.

This has been making the rounds on Twitter over the last day, and women (even progressives like this New York Times writer) have openly mocked the idea,

Only a man could think that this is what pregnancy is like, posing naked with a fat belly with some flowers. It’s nice to see gender-bending activists prove the point that conservatives have been trying to drive home for years: Gender is not an idea and a state of mind.

Is it envy or contempt of women that motivates these men?
I mean, heck, I could technically do that now without all the fancy makeup.
I have said from the beginning of this intensely cynical “transgender” chapter in the ongoing project of destroying all American institutions and traditions by the radical Left, why would they think this would be a cudgel to use against the Right? Why wouldn’t this be much more likely to get a massive and perfectly understandable negative reaction from women, Right or Left? And especially from feminists?
Men, now saying they can invade and destroy women’s sports because they decide they are actually women. Declare by their actions that “woman” is nothing more than what some man thinks it is. There is no mystery, no deep psychological difference – there is only lipstick and some oversized pumps.
On a side note, I see that this is from this Twitter thing so many people are talking about these days. And that this, of all things, has 3,500,000 retweets.
Things like this have always been around – the fleshpots of the ancient Orient was full of James Charles types. But it was confined to the under-culture, the deep dark alleyways of human depravity. Now Twitter mainstreams these fringe players? No wonder our society is slowly being driven crazy.
Twitter is useful or appealing . . . how, again?
OTOH, the NHS has encouraged hospitals and midwives to include “chestfeeding” in their neonatal preachments. It’s more inclusive. But it raises the question “What the heck is chestfeeding”?
This article purports to define it, but I don’t know. It just raised more questions for me. Like, when did I land on Planet Woke and how do I get off?
Women have chests, and they have breasts. They feed children from their breasts.
If Wokeness means being less accurate, more muddled and confusing, how do so many people find it “better”?
Two great tastes that taste great together!™
No one likes a tourist, but if you really wanna get mocked, post faked pictures of a trip.
Here’s the thing; most people would like to have the experience of flying like a bird. We have invented all manner of things to help deliver some of that, but they all miss the mark. We can fly. But not really like a bird.
So enjoy flying, whether it is by way of a plane, roller-coaster, zip-line, glider, etc. In fact, if you want to imagine you’re a bird while you’re doing it, go right ahead. It probably will feel good and it might in some way be fulfilling.
But I’m not gonna be made responsible for reassuring you that you are in fact a bird. That’s just a creepy thing to ask another person to do.
Hmm, maybe the first few slices if gender changing surgery without anesthesia might help them get a clue.
Or just putting their member in a vice for 24 hours.
Ridiculous Twitter photo. Talk about not even close to LARPing pregnancy.
Well, a feminized man could be jealous, since his normal place is disrupted. Is there data that categorizes these wishful men? It seems like they are not masculine men. But that is not a data driven observation.
There are some studies that are exploring the influence of synthetic estrogens in products and the environment are causing great disruption.
Sorry, all I can think of is this.
I saw a photo of a man chestfeeding a child. Hard to know if it was real ir astroturfed.
Remember when astroturfed was just a blip in the social radar.
If this eventually leading to a conclusion that women can’t also pretend to be men, great.
What gets lost in all of this is, actual gender dysphoria is a really miserable thing to try to mitigate or or get over.
And maybe that such a miserable condition shouldn’t be celebrated or encouraged.
