Lesbian Blogger working with my wife to excavate Lesbian from the depths of centuries of Hetsplaining. We cannot know ourselves, till we cease knowing them.
Interesting analogy. Many years from now, I started noticing people who pretend they are somebody they aren't (autistic, lesbian, Black, Asian, child, etc.). The biggest epidemic was a plethora of fake "autistics" (ranging from mild Aspergers/ASD to severe cases of Munchausen people who pretend to be non-verbal). The most notorious and well-known is Amanda (Mel) Baggs, but they are many more... fake auties use the very same tactics as straightbians/transtrenders/transracial etc. I wonder why people spend (waste!) so much energy on pretending. I guess that's something deeper than pathology on individual level, society is to blame... especially "identity" politics. It's a big business to be a minority, and self- proclaimed identities give people protected characteristics, popularity, attention, priviliges and celebration.... :/
ReplyDeleteIt isn’t an analogy.

You are right. Pretenders that I mentioned might be their own phenomenon, something more much like Munchausens or fake indigenous people (people who falsely claim Native America heritage) than straightbians & transgender identity.
