I think I’ve finally nailed down how to explain my discomfort with the gender nihilism stuff. When trans women spend our lives trying to be at least somewhat accepted, the concept of just saying “oh well none of this is real anyway” is a comfort but when it’s proposed that even our identity is not real is leaves us at the starting gate again, trying to figure out who we are. Additionally it generally feels like that becoming a popular movement will leave those of us with dysphoria behind. I really don’t have a problem with gender nihilism, I just don’t want people like me to get swept under the carpet in the name of “progressivism”
