‘Gender’ is not a fact, anymore, but a feeling. Male ‘gender’ is now a feeling that belongs to females who cut their breasts off and take testosterone. It does not belong to every boy, because some boys will want to be girls. Fatherhood is no longer connected to biology. Fatherhood is now ‘found family’, such as Bella Ramsey declaring “I’m gonna be a dad” to her pregnant girlfriend on The Last of Us.

LGBTQ+ people exist. Including those who are non-binary and genderfluid.
Reality doesn’t care about your ‘feelings’, OP.
That’s a little bit off, but even if it were all precisely true… what would be the problem with that, exactly?

Wait, I think I see the problem. They’re being told that their “superior” traditional lifestyles (or at least ideals, if they don’t yet live that way) are now on the same level as “inferior” alternative ones. For most people this doesn’t mean much because they never felt that their lifestyle was “superior” if they lived a more traditional way even if they’ve been repeatedly told that, so alternatives being “uplifted” doesn’t degrade their own marriage/family/relationships in any way. But for tradcons, everything about them including their lifestyle being “superior” is part of their identity, so being equal to an “inferior” person in any respect feels degrading.

Conservatives are emotionally dependent on the concept of boundaries . Boundaries keep us all separate, neat and tidy in our own little boxes, never touching for fear of getting cooties from the "wrong" or "icky" people.
Anything that crosses boundaries -- or worse, declares that boundaries do not matter -- is so disgusting and obscene that conservatives immediately reject it with all their strength. It's a knee-jerk reaction, like gagging at the smell of garbage.
And they're furious that the rest of us don't share their revulsion.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

That’s kinda….right for the wrong reasons. In that gender isn’t a biological fact, it’s about who you identify as. That whole post is kinda “accidental ally” material, really.
And sorry, Matt, despite having a very similar name, you’ll never be as cool as Matt Osborne (RIP), the pro wrestler known as “Maniac” Matt Borne, and the original (and by far the best) “Doink the Clown”.

The problem people like Matt have with it is if there aren’t clear boundaries between the genders, then there isn’t a clear hierarchy and if someone with a penis can be a woman and vice versa, then men aren’t actually better than women. And his entire worldview depends on him being ‘better’ than women, POC, LGBTQIAA2S+ people, etc.
I just noticed your other response. It’s not just their lifestyles, it’s them themselves. All his life he’s thought that men are superior to women, that whites are superior to POC, that straights are superior to LGBTQIAA2S+ people, that able are superior to PWD, that neurotypicals are superior to neurodivergents, etc. Stuff like this blows his entire (and entirely wrong) hierarchy to bits.
Confused?
