is Transgenderism a contradictory mess? It calls for the abolition of gender but it also reifies gender norms. wtf?!?!?!?

I know I shouldn't reply to an obvious falseflag shitpost, but tbh transgenderism is pretty anti-materialist

Its almost as if not all people who speak on the topic agree…

I follow a couple of hardcore leftist feminist trans college kids on twitter, and reading their posts (and the posts they share and like) is like listening to retarded teenagers sort out the "cool shit' and the "shit I hate"
For months I'll see one point really being hammered home, like "Hey CAN WE STOP assuming that it's not violence to refuse to refer to people by their proper pronouns????"
And it will be some queer chick with a mustache, but still sort of dressed like a girl
Then a couple of months later, I'll see, "Hey just because someone identifies as the opposite gender DOESN'T mean they have to dress like that gender. STOP assuming it's mandatory."
Then it will be that same queer girl without a mustache and dressed in a slutty dress.
It wouldn't surprise me to see these idiots completely adopting traditional gender roles and decrying anyone that doesn't abide by them. Most of these kids are confused and seem to be generally poor thinkers.

I don't see a contradiction between wanting to abolish gender norms and being transgender. People who identify with the norms associated with the opposite gender they were born as would likely be more acutely aware of the harms of gender norms than someone who identifies with the "correct" gender. That isn't to say that all trans people have anti-gender views, since being trans could just as likely lead to gender essentialist views if the person is liberal and/or has a fair bit of self-loathing.
Gender essentialism a shit. A SHIT. And that includes TERFs.

That's where you're wrong. That's non-binaryfags you're thinking about. Transsexuality is compatible with thinking there's two genders.

This. Traditionally those who are transgender only want to transition from one gender to another. This is backed by research on gender dysphoria. This however says nothing of non-binary people. BY definition, non-binary individuals are NOT transgender because they aren't transitioning from one gender to another and are instead choosing to identify with some kind of superposition in between. Part of the problem is cultural, I think, because in the West we mostly lack a concept of a third gender other than biblical eunuchs. Eunuchs aren't transgender either.

It's just confused men dressing up as women.

I have a couple of legit questions about this. By "legit" I mean I'm not joking or trying to be an asshole.
So we have two biological sexes, and from these sexes we assume that we have two genders.
By and large, as you stated, people fall into one of these two categories – even trans people.
So what is the actual benefit of a third gender for people who are typically a tiny percentage of the population (correct me if I'm wrong) and who can be identified mainly as deviations from the norm?

Honestly less humiliating and less confused than telling people you post on Holla Forums still.
