As this year comes to an end, we are left to consider the epidemic of fake news, propping up a moral panic around violence against trans-identified people, aimed at distracting us from addressing real issues that exist in the real world. Teen Vogue thankfully has noted that, in fact, trans-identified people are thriving, which makes sense, particularly because so many of them are just regular people, like anyone else, and are quite often simply financially successful men. In reality, the people who are really thriving, thanks to the trans trend, are non-profits, media, Big Pharma, unethical doctors and psychiatrists, and other companies trying to cash in on individuals struggling with mental illness, social pressure, gender roles, homophobia, family problems, trauma, self-esteem, sexual fetishes, and the regular trials and tribulations of adolescence. With the holidays approaching, we know it’s important, though, to spend our dollars supporting nonsensical, sexist trends. As such, Teen Vogue has curated a list of the best gifts for people who who enjoy things like wearing clothing and telling time, but also who have been told their bodies are wrong and that the best way to resolve this is by destroying said bodies.
