The War on Tomboys

If you demonize some identities and tell them that they can resolve the conflict of being a bad identity by joining some political project or doing some activity then you can create not just social contagion situation would say gender dysphoria but a pressure pump that pushes them in that direction. This war on tomboys that i just mentioned is an example of that they want young girls who feel a little boyish maybe or like sports to get out of being a tomboy. The only avenue out is to become non-binary or some other queer identity or trans identity so they open up this avenue to resolve tension that they're creating rather than a message of acceptance.
