For those of us who live in the real world and pay attention, the existence of female narcissism is not a surprise.
For those of us in some minority groups, we see it, in my opinion, in at least some of the anti-trans activists - and a disturbing example is provided below.
Be that as it may, the article which prompted this post is:
“‘Female narcissism is often misdiagnosed’: how science is finding women can have a dark streak too | Psychology | The Guardian” https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/feb/02/female-narcissism-is-often-misdiagnosed-how-science-is-finding-women-can-have-a-dark-streak-too “Research into ‘dark personality traits’ has always focused on men. But some experts believe standard testing misses the ways an antisocial personality manifests itself in women ... But research over the past few decades is increasingly ... suggesting women can have a dark streak, too. ... Narcissistic women are abusing in ways that society allows. They often leverage their femininity, present themselves as soft-spoken, but it is cunning; it’s premeditated”
And whether the conduct reported in the next article is actually narcissistic or not, it is disturbing, as is the failure of the local court to grant an AVO:
“Anti-trans campaigner hit with apprehended violence order over ‘disturbing’ conduct | Australia news | The Guardian” https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/feb/03/anti-trans-campaigner-hit-with-apprehended-violence-order-over-disturbing-conduct-ntwnfb “Court grants apprehended violence order against _ _, one of the signatories demanding a federal inquiry into trans healthcare for minors ... In February 2023, _ travelled to the mid-north coast with a group of men impersonating trans women and filmed the event, including the impersonators playing soccer. ... Court of appeal Justice _ _ found _’s conduct involved “ongoing behaviours which were objectively threatening.” “In addition, they were ‘disturbing’,” she said.”
It would also be concerning if the announced review of health care for trans youth was triggered by the referred to letter.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).#PsychicABetterWorld and candles for Viva La Résistance à Tr_ mp! and may all that I do be of value and actively BPM used for and by the nonphysical BPM
