meme. A girl hits her head against a door handle. Next to her is a panel that says:

一本、一台、一匹、一丁、一冊、一切れ、一枚、一杯、一品、一羽、一輪、一着、一個、一株、一軒、etc.

A picture of the same girl and door handle but now a safety feature has been attached to prevent her from hitting her head. She's happy and sticks up her thumb. Next to her is a big 一つ

The Heart Of Enterprise by Stafford Beer

moni @monimoni.bsky.social · 2d

addendum. Of course, Beer's conception of freedom clarifies also the dynamic described here: the conservative family sees fit to enforce gender norms, hence it becomes a matter of paternal duty to restrict the autonomy of the child. Patriarchy structures the purpose of the family as perceived.

note: i put emphasis on "the *government's* job" there because a lot of normies that self-identify as conservative do think such things ought to be upheld. however, even amongst conservatives i think the most common normie view is that enforcement of gender norms should be informal, don't get the government involved. like i can't stop you from getting your hands on your hormones but that won't stop me from calling you a slur lol

(or, more sinisterly: if you're my child, i *can* stop you from getting hormones, and the government can't make me let you have them if you're under my roof)

ofc this More Sinister possibility is indeed how most repression of trans bodily autonomy plays out right now; and the biggest rhetorical tactic in the conservative playbook is to whine about specific cases in which parents *were* required to acquiesce to their child's transition (which is unfortunately rare)

moni @monimoni.bsky.social · 2d

The problem of course is that it's really, really hard to sit people down and really convey to them that this is what it boils down to: an ideology that demands the state be wielded to police what people are allowed to do with their own bodies.

I also think that most people would disagree vigorously with conservatism here on this fundamental level: that it be the *government's* job to enforce gender norms - especially if they realize what government must actually *do* to *real people* in service of that goal.

The important thing here is that conservatives really do imagine this to be "freedom!" A "free" society cannot have trans people out and about! Our existence threatens what they perceive to be the very *purpose* of society itself: being openly trans is *intrinsically* criminal!
