Gender Ideology

A straw-man of a transgender narrative used by TERFs and conservatives that supposedly requires you to fit gender stereotypes of one's gender identity. In reality, a person doesn't have to fit specific stereotypes to be any gender, whether cis, trans or non-binary.

It serves to dehumanize transgender people through reducing them to the dangerous "ideology" that must be eradicated, serving the cause of trans genocide.

-Alice: I know of a person who is non-binary.
-Bob: How they are like?
-Alice: They dress androgynous, use they/them pronouns... they're deep in gender ideology.
-Bob: That's a straw-man argument, to be non-binary you don't need to be androgynous.

momentum dimensional ideology

This new view is much different than the traditional view of dimensions. The traditional view is that each dimension is almost unrelated to the other it seems. Like a flat land has no relation to space(3 dimensions) except through the plain it is its own plain. This all seems to be true based on logical reason and can't be proven wrong by any means. The only thing I find hard to understand is time through this train of thought so I am merely just making a new aspect to prove higher dimensions. we live in three dimensions moving in the fourth dimension time.

Lets use an example. What should we name him? Let's call him pal. Pal has a jet pack; yes a jet pack. He is falling towards a gravitational entity. Pal is going in one direction; down. Pal lives in 2 dimensions going one direction he can slow or speed up his fall. this is an example of momentum dimensional ideology.

ideology

1)An ideology way of looking at an aspect of society, or to a certain extent anything, which makes it seem better than it actually is.

2) An assumption which for whatever reason exists, and is unfair and untested.

Some sociological thinkers would have you believe they exist to help maintain and cover up power inequalities.

1)The education system is completly fair and 100% a meritocracy - this is ideological.

2)Single parent families are bad for society. Same sex couples make bad parents. Ideologys.

Ideology

You people have it all wrong! The lesser-known definition/concept of ideology (favored by Gramsci, Althusser, Foucault, Hall etc.) is less about a "visible set of beliefs" and more about the internalization of how one perceives and interacts with their reality. Though somewhat indirectly related, it generally has nothing to do with politics and economic policies.

Ideology is everything under the hood, everything you take for granted without consciously realizing it. Therefore, it would be safe to say that language is an ideology, since it follows a set of grammatical rules that we have to take for granted in order to communicate.

It would also be safe to say that love is an ideology, as loving someone does not take any conscious reasoning. Love is so deep-seated in us that we treat love as an unstoppable force, and not as simply as chemical fluctuations in the brain and body.

Really, anything could be seen as an ideology if we start deconstructing the very foundations of reality.

Me, an intellectual: Man... thinking back, university were the good days, really learned a lot there.

Typical hate-mongering political zealot: Yeah... good days when you were indoctrinated with leftist ideology garbage!

Me, an intellectual: Heh, ideology. You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means.
