Objective Fact Is a Weapon

How Language Is Used to Hide Fear, Enforce Submission, and Erase Thought

They don’t want a conversation.
They want obedience.
When someone says, “It’s an objective fact that trans are men,” they’re not appealing to reason, they’re issuing a threat.
Comply, or be branded a heretic.
This is social terror, draped in the cloak of certainty.

Let’s name what’s actually happening here.

This isn’t about chromosomes. It’s not about biology, anthropology, or psychology.
It’s about control.
The phrase “objective fact” is being hijacked... used not to clarify, but to dominate. It’s not an invitation to understand. It’s a demand to conform.

Because beneath the surface, something fragile is trembling.

The person making this claim is not grounded in intellectual rigour. They’re clinging to a worldview that feels like it’s slipping away. And like any cornered ideology, it lashes out.
Not with questions.
With commands.
With absolutes.
With totalising language that leaves no room for complexity, and no air for dissent.

System Insight:
Let’s dissect this. Word by word. Layer by layer.

1. “It’s an objective fact…”
   This phrase is supposed to denote neutrality. Scientific detachment. But here, it functions as a shield. It closes the door before it opens.
   You’re not allowed to ask.
   You’re not allowed to feel.
   You’re only allowed to agree, or be punished.
   This is not the language of exploration. It’s the language of empire.
2. “…that trans are men.”
   This is reduction. A flattening of identity into a single, chosen frame... designed to erase, not describe.
   It pretends to observe, but it actually imposes.
   It denies the interiority of others.
   It refuses to acknowledge the lived experience, the spiritual journey, the medical, social, emotional transformation... all collapsed into a single static category for the comfort of the speaker.

This isn’t truth-telling.
It’s erasure, masquerading as logic.

The Indoctrination Function:
Where does this language come from?

We know the names.

It’s learned. Taught. Rewarded.

There are entire subcultures — online and offline — where certainty is currency, and cruelty is a badge of honour.
Young men, lost and searching for identity, find belonging not through compassion or connection, but through dogma and derision.
They are taught that ambiguity is weakness.
That empathy is emasculating.
That anyone who challenges their worldview is not just wrong, but dangerous.

So they adopt a script.

A script that says:

• There are two genders.
• Everything else is delusion.
• Anyone who disagrees is part of the collapse of civilization.

This is not science.
This is panic.
This is how fundamentalism is born... not through faith, but through fear.

The Social Terror Mechanism:
Statements like “trans are men” function like linguistic landmines.

They are designed to silence, not persuade.
They dare you to challenge them, because the cost of doing so is high.

If you push back, you are labelled:

• Woke.
• Brainwashed.
• Dangerous.
• A traitor to reality.

This is compliance culture in reverse.
Not from progressive activists, but from those who claim to be defending “facts.”
They weaponise fear of cancellation, while cancelling anyone who invites nuance.

This is not a defence of truth.
It’s a purge.

Deployment Path: How to Answer Without Collapsing
You don’t argue facts with people who are afraid.
You restore curiosity.

Here’s how:

1. Disarm the frame.
   Say: “It sounds like this is important to you. Can I ask — what part of the conversation feels threatening to you?”
   This shifts the terrain. Now it’s not about the statement — it’s about what they’re defending.
2. Introduce ambiguity.
   Say: “What would it mean for you if someone’s experience of gender didn’t match your belief? Does that threaten you, or just confuse you?”
   This destabilises the rigid structure — not by attacking, but by inviting thought.
3. Expose the loss.
   Say: “Who taught you that the only way to be safe is to deny someone else’s reality?”
   This reveals the indoctrination — gently, but unmistakably.
4. Refuse the terms.
   Say: “Facts don’t speak. People do. And people can be wrong — even when they sound confident.”
   This reasserts sovereignty. You do not have to argue inside their prison.

You cannot fight fear with facts.
You expose it. You outlast it. You refuse to kneel to its bullshit.

Because the truth is not fragile.
The truth is not a weapon.
The truth does not need to erase others to stand tall.

So when someone throws “objective fact” at you like a stone...
Pick it up.
Turn it over.
And hand it back as a mirror.

Not to destroy them.
But to show them the cage they’re in.

And to remind yourself:
You are not obligated to agree with someone else’s panic.

The next time you hear a phrase meant to shut down thought, name what it is: a fear script.

Tear it up.

They say it’s objective fact.
But facts don’t erase people.
Only fear does.
