Posted by SoloI want to live in a culture that accepts a wide spectrum of femininity and masculinity. I don’t want to live in a culture that validates people’s ideas that there is something wrong with them that they can or should change.
I have a few questions that pop up and we can tackle them each individually.
This can get messy quick because of things like puberty blockers vs actual surgery and things like that.
If you don't have the info already, don't look it up yet, but take a rough guess on how many you would say for blockers and then surgery and then overall population is trans. And we'll go through afterwards.
Is acceptance the same thing as "pushing?" If we didn't beat on left handed kids to use their rights, would it be viewed as pushing left handedness? This is kinda what I view it akin to. I also do think it kinda fits into the "mental illness" bracket as it's fundamentally your brain and body not feeling like they match, right? However I don't think I should be bothered what they undergo to treat it if you view it that way, or make themselves comfortable or just be who they want. I have a trans cousin FTM and tbh she always did strike me as boyish. Pretty much everything about her. How her features were. How she stood and walked. How she acted. Not over the top, just comfortable. I haven't seen him in a long time, but it wasn't super surprising to hear about. Not that I ever explicitly thought that of them though.
I think we also know at this point that it's not gays and trans people in general that are attacking children. Which is part of the fear mongering that's used.
Posted by StardustmoppedThose men who transform themselves as women want to get fucked. My guess is they tired of living as a man and they think living as women would be easy. Even I gotta say some transvestite look cute while some can at least shave their faces if they want to go all the way with it.
There’s a lot of topics here but the one I’m curious about is that …men are transitioning into women because they failed to live up to the societal expectations of what it means to be a man? Right?
I’ve seen a lot of hypermasculine men transition. Gabbi Tuft former WWE wrestler comes to mind. They were hot af as a man. How do we explain those people? I don’t know their life, it could have stemmed from trauma but they seemed pretty well adjusted as a man-wife, family, career.

I've never Voted for Trump, but I do see a different candite in him this time around.
In 2016 I saw someone way to much grace, to the politicians on the right, to gain acceptance favor and power.. (To be clear on my POV I think 95% of the politicians on either side are bought and paid for by the same people.) back to my point, he put a lot of people in positions to satisfy the political elite with the power of his party.
You can say today, that Trump basically owns the Republican party. But trump is not owned by the same people that own everyone else if you are keeping up. And I like who he aligning himself with this time, and the people he is collecting. If you tell me he's gonna put Ramaswamy, Gabbard and Kennedy I positions that can change our future I'm all in. Especially if that paves a path for Ramaswamy or Gabbard to take over when he's done.
Currently my view of America is that it has evolved by design to exploited anything on this planet for the elite, and NATO is just another mechanism to do that. We have a bad system, because incentives the bad things. I want to see big changes.
And I could be totally wrong about Trump, but Kamala was endorsed by Dick Cheney because they answer to the same people.
You don't care at all about him trying to overturn the election with fake electors?

You know what I care about, Kamala, Obama, Hillary all saying the biggest threat to America, is America having the freedom to say whatever they fuck they want to say.click to expand

I don’t think its gays and trans attacking children, I think that the pendulum has shifted to far in parts of our cultural that it is encouraging bad ideas.
I think that people who are struggling to process trauma are often the ones in these mental health spaces. The mental health spaces in our culture is mostly dominated with people who have very liberal views. And again this comes down attaching Trans issues with Gay issues, because excepting who you are attracted to is not the same thing as rejecting who you are. But often in the liberal culture I see it treated as the same thing.
My niece came to me and said I don't feel like a girl, I said cool neither do I, her therapist at collage started her on a gender transition therapy program, and put her into an LGTB pier group that is just a cycle of validation. This is my step sisters kids, has SA trauma from 14 yo, and a lifetime of neglect. That kind of acceptance and validation is exactly what she has been craving her whole life, and she'd deciding on wither or not she's gonna go on hormones, but hasn't even considered what it would be like to shave your face everyday. She just doesn't want her boobs anymore so she doesn't have to feel like a target or victim.click to expand
