A person born with XY chromosome, a penis, a prostate, and testicles will never be a women. A person born with XX chromosome, a uterus, a vagina, and ovaries will never be a man. Doesn't matter how many unnatural hormones they get pumped into their bodies or how many surgeries to fashion frankenstein body parts they get. And anyone who tells them otherwise is enabling mental illness. It's no different than telling a schizophrenic that you hear and see the same hallucinations that he does, to help him feel better. In both cases it will make a person feel better in the moment in the short term, but is harmful in the long term both on the individual and societal levels.
Transgenders have always made people uncomfortable simply by existing. That internalized transphobia is a barrier we need to shatter as a society in our quest to make a more just and egalitarian one. All the rules still apply. A predator is still a predator and will face the same legal consequences as before. Also, trans are more likely to be victims of assault than perps.

Furthermore, you are wrong about the nature of transgenderism. There are biological causes.

There have been ample precedents of mentally deranged men exploiting these ideological games to their own perverse means at the expense of biological women and children. The latter are rejecting these inroads for exploitation, but somehow it is the peopledefending women and their rights to biological autonomyin the wake of degeneracy who are in the wrong.

Thieves, rapists, murderers, schizos, socios and bums just generally violent and mentally ill people make folks uncomfortable and there is nothing wrong with that, I think there is something wrong with someone trying to change that.

And? Those are criminals. Blacks used to make people uncomfortable. Menstruating women used to make people uncomfortable. Left handed people used to make people uncomfortable. Nazis make me uncomfortable. Can I get rid of them? Pwetty pwease? uwu

Interesting gaslighting and naivety combo. No one cared about trannies a decade ago. They created the rising angst themselves with the pronouns game and targeting children. And more recently in cheating by competing against women in sports and declaring they can be in a women's locker/bathroom. A dude who says he identifies as a woman is still infinitely more of a physical threat to women than other women are.

And I don't even think most of the trans issue pushing the envelope is coming from trans people, it's from Left leaning authoritarians who want a cause to belong to, because their personal lives are more empty, people with an existential crisis brewing in them. Today it's trannies, tomorrow it's stop oil, next month it will be whatever is trendy.

I dunno. I suspect at least some of the current politics around gender dysphoria is because they've been made an enemy of traditional values by populists looking for an enemy against which to rally their base.

If a business wants to have their bathroom situation a certain way that's their prerogative, and people can choose to use a different bathroom if they are out in public at that business. However in an academic/athletic environment, there is no choice there, and those young women should not be forced to share a bathroom or a locker room with a "transwoman."

I'm not wrong at all on transgenderism. There are biological causes for all mental illnesses. None of them should be enabled or normalized.
lmao how is it normalized to have gender neutral bathrooms and a changing stall put in? You bigots are hysterical. Also, labeling it a mental illness doesn't magically make it go away. People thought being gay was a mental illness. That doesn't negate the validity of gay marriage and equal rights for gays. There is no legal justification for why trans people can't use the fuking bathroom, and all these complaints are beyond hysterical. In many other countries, locker rooms aren't even segregated and no one cares. It isn't a big deal. A bunch of bigots and Karens are crying about it, but nobody else gives a chit, and when the dust settles, trans people will be allowed to use whatever bathroom. The only place where discrimination is logical is for mtf in womens' sports due to advantages. That's literally it.

What rights did women lose here?

I just want to point out the same people on this board who call to repeal the 19th amendment are also claiming to protect womens' rights. Meanwhile, women are the group most sympathetic to trans rights lmfao.

Lol.

Bums are not criminals, Blacks are not criminals and the mentally ill are not criminals lol you sound like a bigot.

Menstruating women still make people uncomfortable, no one wants to see that sht lol that's why you don't know when random women are menstruating.

Men being attracted to other men is not equivalent to someone believing they are something they are not, removing healthy portions of their body and then demanding you play along with them while placing you under threat lol even straight men view some men as attractive, there is nothing wrong with that.

Why are trannys even grouped with gays and lesbians lol they are not the same.

It seems they are trying to ride on gay acceptance lol.

If a man claims to identify as a woman, then chopping off his penis and pretending to be a woman is the opposite of regulating. It's the behavior of psychosis.

There is no such thing as gay marriage and that was a mistake as well. Marriage is man + woman. I get the tax and legal benefit argument, but that could have all been solved by either establishing a separate status for civil unions that get those benefits, or abolishing them for everyone and then people can just name whoever they want as their health proxy, will beneficiary, et cetera. But they deliberately INSISTED on the word marriage being applied to them in order to manipulate language and undermine religion.

No one is saying trannies can't use a bathroom and I don't know where you're getting that from. They should use the bathroom of their actual gender (aka their sex), or if they are uncomfortable and mentally unable to do that then a separate bathroom should be established specifically for trannies. But making women share that space with "transwomen" especially in the context of a locker room should absolutely never be allowed.
Except gender affirming care is medically more effective than whatever bullshyt conversion therapy you are suggesting. Doctors smarter than you already tried things your way. It didn't work.

Yes, people are saying they can't use the bathroom. The holocaust denier the GOP wants to run for governor of NC suggested they chit outside.

Nobody gave them equal tax benefits though. That was what they fought for. Marriage is irrelevant. It's just a word. It's the lack of equality in benefits and status.

Read this.

Bigots are actively trying to erase the fact trans people even exist and make life as hard as possible for them for no reason other than that they have become a scapegoat for the rabid fascists among us.

Elaborate on "placing you under threat". Explain how trans people threaten your life. What a crock of chit. I've met like 2 trannies in my whole life. Both were otherwise regular people. I felt bad for them. Neither got in my face about anything or did anything to me or anyone else. Trans are such a theoretical issue to begin with since there are so few of them, but even then, I feel compelled to defend them because you fascist scum have made them your target. Trans people deserve the same damn rights as everyone else. They also have a biological developmental condition, and in my view, it is just like intersex except post gonadal differentiation. I am sick of the Christian right and other bigots making this a huge issue. Your god fuks up. Move the fuk on, you worthless pieces of chit.

Because gay people understand what it means to be persecuted and then have the label of being mentally ill used to deny them their rights.

Same reason the Irish defend Palestine. When you have been oppressed, you live in solidarity with other oppressed.

Yes trannies as a group are not connected, except in one vital area. If not given gender affirming care, the vast majority of gender confused kids end up as adults accepting their gender and most end up as simply being gay/lesbian. The numbers on that acceptance of one's gender will only go up as a lot of gender confused kids today are part of a social contagion. Instead of 80-90% from years past it will be well past 90% of kids in the future because the confusion was implanted in their brains some time after 2010.

The gender affirming care push isn't so surprising in a society that says if you have a mental health problem, take a pill. The medicalization of psychology is way overdone and gender affirming care is just the latest example. Kid has focus issues, give 'em legal speed. Anxiety? Here's a pill to mask it instead of working on the underlying causes. There are also VERY generous financial incentives for a subset of the medical industry to give 'gender affirming care.' To kids we'd never let drink alcohol, but give life altering hormones to.

The people on the extreme pushing this stuff will not accept reality, or that the facts and evidence are against their beliefs. They're emotionally attached and think if they're on board they'll be seen as pillars of virtue, so reason is relatively meaningless with them. I don't find it coincidence they rarely have any skin in the game, and are almost universally foreveralones. They're searching for meaning and unfortunately for children this is one of the causes the activists are hitching their wagon to, to find meaning in their own lives.

And the next day after that, Jake clarified that “he” is actually a “she”, and we apologized profusely, and arrested Josie.


Evidently, it’s come full circle.

Some animals have been observed to behave as the opposite major sex even in highly dimorphic species. It's roughly as rare as transgenderism is in humans.This should be no surprise to anyone familiar with biology since transgenderism is basically likely a developmental disorder similar to intersex, but occurring after gonadal differentiation.

It sucks but it's just the hand that some people are dealt.

Ok. I don't think they should be erased or harassed or abused, but I also don't think there should be a society-wide enabling of the condition. Making them schit outside is obviously inhumane and I disagree with that. I think we should have male and female bathrooms that correspond to sex. If someone feels that he falls outside of that, there should be a transgender bathroom for those people.

I perused the article you posted and I'll touch on a couple highlights. First is the Florida book ban. If that stuff is available for purchase or a public library I have no problem with it. I do think it should be age blocked in public libraries though, maybe have them on a list that a parent has to be with a minor in order for them to check it out of the library. As for books in schools and in school libraries, I'm of the mindset that sexuality shouldn't be discussed in schools at all (homo, hetero, or otherwise) either by staff or by media provided. If a parent doesn't want their child exposed to content like that then that's the parent's prerogative. For parent's that would like assistance in breaching such topics with their kids, perhaps schools should offer a special class that parents have to opt-in for their kids to attend, with the option of parents attending as well. That's for material that specifically discusses those topics though. Another thing the article brought up was just a movie or show that happens to feature a gay or transgender person. In that case I don't think it's possible or even a good idea to ban things like that. I mean you're going to see gay people out in the world. Teachers should be telling parents the material that they are showing students anyways. If a parent wants to provide context or explanation to their kids for content that they feel is manipulative or subversive then they are free to do so. But I don't think it's a good idea to start making lists of movies and books with gay characters and compiling a ban list, or entertaining lawsuits that feature such media. It's probably also impossible to find a group of people who would agree on all the items on such a list anyways. Obviously keep porn and sex content out of schools. But beyond that if it's just a book that has a gay character it should stay.

The other item from the article that I will touch on is gender affirming care. As you already know, my opinion is that such care is hocum and psychotic. However if an adult wants to do whatever to his body then I'm not going to stop him. I do think that surgery in the very least should be limited to adults though, and I'm as yet undecided on hormone therapy, although parental consent should absolutely be required for that treatment.

Finally, on gay unions, again I'm fine with them receiving equal tax benefits. From what I remember it was an offer on the table to establish civil unions with the same financial benefits, however certain people insisted on marriage. I could be wrong though and my memory on this might have faded to time as I was in HS and college when that was first getting hammered out so I was paying attention to a lot of other things at the time. I still don't think it should be called marriage, but if in fact all they wanted was a union that provided the same financial benefits, then I will yield that point.
It IS effective though. That is why doctors do it. That is what the evidence shows.

The culture war stuff, I can take it or leave it. Some of those books are inappropriate for schools. But others are important for lgbt kids to learn who they are and be more comfortable and find their way in society.

I'm pretty sure the unions didn't have the same benefits as a marriage. Civil unions weren't recognized by the federal government for tax benefits, for example.

Evidently, it’s come full circle.
I know someone right now who is pressing charges against a guy for rape, because she was drunk and had sex with him. No physical or verbal coercion, and she has huge gaps in her memory of what happened. Yet the next day she told us she wasn't even drunk. She wasn't even positive she was penetrated until they arrested the guy and he said yes they had sex. He was fired from his job immediately. Her outlook is basically that poster. Lots more details that just don't add up and completely contradict each other. She also says she was raped before: had too much to drink, woke up the next morning in a hotel room with a guy. "He forced me to take a shower." Okay, what did he say? "He said let's take a shower together." Uhhhhhh.

I've seen her sloppy drunk a bunch of times at our house and after my wife went to bed (has to wake up very early for work) I've drank with her a few times, shooting the schit. She was several times more than a little flirty and touchy, but nothing ever happened because I'm not going to throw my life away for poon. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Apparently the guy she's pressing charges against didn't get that memo.
Yeah Buddyyy! Light weight! Light weight baby!!!!

Not according to the evidence.
