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

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)

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!

This clarified a lot to me re: trans rights: conservative government sees as part of its purpose the enforcement of gender norms (patriarchy and cisheteronormativity). Then the curtailment of bodily autonomy of queer people is a forgone conclusion: it's necessary for their idea of social cohesion.
From within the enterprise, all these matters are relevant to viability; and they ought to be studied on site. But from outside the particular enterprise, and looking for the invariance that we expect to obtain in the cybernetics of any viable system, there is something more, and in fact much more, to say. This argument should be taken very carefully, both by me and by you, because of its explosive conclusion. It goes like this: (i) For the management unit, handling horizontal variety in the elemental operation is very difficult, since it has less variety than its own operation — which has less variety than its own environment in turn. It must design amplifiers and attenuators in order to regulate the double loop, if it is to meet the Three Principles of organization. (ii) Since the elemental operation is part of a whole, which is a cohesive system, its related elemental operations within System One intervene (in the vertical plane) in these horizontal variety equations. This intervention is a mark of the total cohesion, but it tends to vitiate elemental autonomy. (iii) If the metasystem, in its turn, intervenes in the interests of fairness, it is likely (on the whole) further to diminish the variety disposed by the management unit of each operation. Therefore The metasystem should make minimal use of variety attenuators in its dealings with management units in a downward direction. But this is difficult, since even ‘policies’ and ‘guidelines’ tend to be preceived from the other direction as massive constraints. This is the cybernetic argument for autonomy (or freedom), as distinct from the ethical, political, or psychological arguments. Unlike these others, it has no emotive content. It is basically mathematical. (iv) If minimal variety attenuation is desirable, the question arises whether there need be any metasystemic intervention in elemental operations. The minimum is in principle zero. (v) However, if there were zero metasystemic intervention, elemental operations (in pursuit of their individual targets) would inevitably exhibit activities that were not consonant with each other — and which might be downright contradictory. Therefore The metasystem must make some intervention, and should make only that degree of intervention that is required to maintain cohesiveness in a viable system. For a viable system cannot disintegrate without losing its viability. (vi) Cohesiveness is however a function of the purpose of the system. Viable systems of concentrated purpose will be closely-knit, highly cohesive. Viable systems of general purpose will be more loosely coherent. (vii) But systemic purpose (as we saw) is a subjective phenomenon, rather than a property of the system independent of its instigators, participants, and observers. Thus the mathematical extent to which the metasystem will minimally vitiate elemental variety disposable, above zero subtraction, is determined within the total systems framework as earlier described. THEREFORE Freedom is in principle a computable function of systemic purpose as perceived. That is the explosive conclusion. It is explosive precisely because it sounds heartless, whereas the dear question of freedom is full of heart. The trouble seems to be that people do not like to believe that any matter of passion for them could possibly be bound by scientific rules, forgetting that the passion itself is limited by the scientific rules of their own physiological capability to endure it... In any case, the ‘heart’ comes firmly back into focus when we consider the conclusions ‘as perceived’ clause, in conjunction with item (vi) of the argument. For, if the systemic purpose is subjective, only agreement of the heart will justify a given level of cohesion in any institution. The committed member of a conservatory commune cannot accept the degree of cohesion exhibited by a multinational corporation; the committed member of a conservative community cannot accept the lack of cohesiveness exhibited by its own eccentric deviant. Both are misled to think that they are discussing ethics. Once the heartfelt committment is made, the rest is a cybernetically foregone conclusion. It may help to discuss item (vi) a little further. Suppose, for example, that a group agrees on a plan to rob a bank. Each member of this gang (an operational element) begins with his ordinary human autonomy — and even that has to be considered in the context of another level of recursion. But it is a condition of the commonly perceived purpose of the gang-system that this freedom must largely be sacrificed. Each element must do its own job exactly as agreed in advance, otherwise every element is in jeopardy, and the gangsystem’s viability is threatened. Therefore there is (a computable) massive intervention by the vertical domain in the variety disposed by the horizontal domain of management. If this group, on the other hand, set out to be an organization for loving others instead, massive intervention is not required. There are many ways of loving others, and all members get on with doing it. Even so, there is a minimal vertical intervention in individual freedom... [no space left in alt text for the remainder of this paragrah. Sorry!]
