Something I notice with Rowling's shills is this argument that they would have somehow been the "victim" of "gender ideology" if it had been around when they were younger. Or that they very nearly were the victim and narrowly escaped! I think Rowling has said something similar herself.

A lot of times it goes back to fertility and having kids. I thought we were trying to fight the stereotype that AFABs just want kids??

What really gets me is this deeply held assumption that they would have have had poor reasoning skills and wouldn't make the best decision for themself. Why do they assume, that because they believe their own reasoning would have been unsound, that the same must be true for everyone else? How does this argument hold up at all? You cant assume others' reasonings are unsound just because your believe your own hypothetical reasoning is?

Do you believe any of these people have even experienced gender dysphoria or a desire to be trans at all? Personally I think they're making it up. I mean, another thing that gets me is that if they're so convinced their reasoning would have been unsound, why are they trusting their reasoning around this issue now? Why are they suddenly so confident as soon as it's bigoted?
