You ever toy with how you would go about headshrinking a troon patient?
I feel like some old-fashioned analysis would do some of these people a world of good.
"Soooooo... tell me about your father. Uh huh... and your mother? Do you have any brothers and sisters? Aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews? Okay, now tell me about your grandparents."
Their ideas of what a man should be and what a woman should be are not based in how people actually behave in real life and I think a huge amount of it comes from movies and porn. And it's not just the idea of gender but how people in real life try to enforce but also subvert gender for themselves and people around them.
Like I don't want to powerlevel too much but seeing and hearing about certain family members being bullied by other family members for not living up to their gendered expectations I think knocked a lot of the gender shit out of my own head.
God, here's a powerlevel and you can TMI rate me for it: When my uncle was in high school, his grandpa came for a visit and told my uncle that he had to leave home and make his own way in the world. He was a burden on his mother, you see. Grandpa Fuzz came from an age when you could finish school after 8th grade and go learn a trade. He also came from an age where food scarcity meant that leaving home would mean more food on the table for his seven brothers and sisters. The idea that a young man could be all of SIXTEEN and living at home and not working... what a leech on the collective ass of society. (Note that my uncle's older sister didn't get this lecture, just the boy. And also note that my uncle wasn't a burden on his father, but just his mother. There are layers of gender shit to pick apart here.)
So KiwiFuzz the analyst would listen to a story like that from a troon and ask if a more masculine uncle would have followed that advice and packed his shit, or if Uncle Fuzz was a pussy for loitering around his parents' long enough to graduate high school.
Real-life gender rebellion looks less like Arya Stark and more like deciding that grandpa's full of shit sometimes.
