Personally, for me it's the idea that just because you don't experience something (dysphoria, or being a gender other than what society expects of you) that doesn't mean those experiences aren't valid.

I get sooo tired of the response "I just don't understand! I love being my AGAB! Why can't you just get over it?"

What do you mean by chads? Like the manosphere people?

Manosphere, not sure about the terms but yeah I would say yes, if that's englobe conservatives reasoning throughout patriarchal systems.

Sorry I'm not really fluent in English BTW as you can see 😅

Thanks for your clarification. I hadn't heard of manarchism before.

Practice makes perfect with English. You're already doing a good job!
