Hi! Statistics showing differences between generations in attitude towards the gendered soul religion are not optimistic for us.
When Scottish people were asked the question: 'Do you think someone who identifies as a woman, but was born male, and still has male genitalia, should be allowed to use female changing rooms where women and girls are undressing/showering, even if those women object?', older generations were unlikely to say 'yes', but young women turned out to be diferent. 38% of them supported the hypothetical biologically male user of the locker room undressing in front of vulnerable women AND GIRLS. It means that they are still a minority, but we are talking about more than one third of all ladies from this age group.
Another interesting question was asked in the UK: 'We would now like you to think about a person who was born male and has male genitalia but who identifies as a woman. In your own personal view would you consider this person to be a woman or a man?'. The younger people are, the more likely they seem to believe in women with penises:
What if we are going to see these numbers increasing over time? What if this percentage can reach like 46% within the youngest demographic of voters when it becomes made up of Gen Alpha people (the ones who are now at primary school)? And what about future generations? Do you think that in the 2050s. most young people of that time period will agree that TWAW/TMAM? Do you believe that an average American/Western European born in the 22nd century may consider protecting children from body mutilation or keeping female prisoners safe from the male ones to be completely out of the question? Can we, women's and kids' rights supporters, become perceived by most members of future generations the way we currectly judge the 1980s. homophobes?
It's pretty hard to predict such trends. So far we have seen the sad correlation: the number of gendered soul believers increases with every single new generation turning adulthood. Gen Alpha kids may continue the disheartening trend or surprise us by doing the exact opposite: abandoning the fashion created by people older than them.
What do you think?

Found these on Trans Widows Voices website.
Thank you! I will find both of these.
TransWidows Voices also features the stories of trans widows (mine among them).
Thank you--I read the stories there a while back--may be time to read them again. And thank you for sharing your story! That can't have been easy.
Writing and sharing my story was part of my healing. I also share my store in the upcoming film on transwidows by Vaishnavi Sundar, "Behind the Looking Glass."
