One of the defining outcomes of full-burn liberalism is being liberated from all responsibility. The moment you have true responsibilities, ones you can't just walk away from, you're no longer "free"

Perpetual adolescence is the peak means to achieve that end

So the trans insight is completely true: it's an attempt to liberate yourself from the responsibility of your born sex. "Trans women are women" is the slogan, but nobody expects trans women to bear any of the responsibilities that biowomen do

That is a huge part of its appeal

Full equality requires full liberation, which requires the full "dismantling" of any supposed psychological or instinctive differences between men and women

Which means that any attempt to teach boys and girls how to grow into their own instincts is now "hateful"

Biology is powerful, most men and women will eventually work many of their instincts out on their own, no matter the propaganda

But that process of *self*-learning rather than received wisdom might push their ascent into true adulthood out into their 30s instead of their 20s

Meanwhile the confused (even deranged) 20somethings have fully developed brains. They have the power to reason and argue as adults, but they still have the wisdom of children

And as digital journalism expands, the virtual "newsroom" is filled with more and more of them

If adolescents then found themselves faced with a struggle between their own instincts, and the new culture that tells them those instincts are hateful—you might find that the ironically "most vulnerable" among them are falling victim to what you might call a "mental dysphoria"

This induced cognitive dissonance would probably be really, really psychologically distressing. You would probably have no idea where to go at all

You would probably do *anything* to cast off that pressure. To liberate yourself, forever, from the thing that's been done to you.
