right, but you're starting a polite conversation with me, a stranger, on a days-old tweet on a video i thought was bad, and i'm confused as to what for and why
November 23, 2025 at 3:45 PM
..ok? why are you telling me this

From the beginning of the video

In the video, Jordan says they've been doing a deep dive into "detrans spaces" and in the parts where they're not interviewing Hendrix, they also expand the interview's conclusions more generally

"Sometimes you have to do things you don't like" is sort of a harsh reality of life and it's concerning that reactionaries want to just opt out of community, democracy, public health, everything that makes society functional.

The core issue lies in the idea that society must accommodate the best few and leave the rest to either measure up or die, rather than that it's every society's duty to accommodate every member by default

It comes down ultimately to an eliminationist, eugenic approach to social variation. Society must be pruned of fault, it is assumed, and so we seek ways to prove it isn't *my* existence which must be pruned because it's natural, or it's in the Bible, or it makes me a more productive citizen than you

Naturally, social constructs are plenty real: try paying your landlord with monopoly money and see how it goes. We cling to physical, biological bases to assert the immutability of sth, including sex/gender--but nature and physical objects are plenty mutable

That last bit is crucial--from the idea that "social constructs aren't real," follows "if sth is a social construct, it is possible to change it, and it is desirable to change it to sth superior."

"Real" = "immutable"
