Ever wonder how a medical affliction that affects so few people has created so much attention for all the wrong reasons [especially considering that this condition has caused massive suffering among these poor souls and their loved ones]? The trans movement is not really about people, instead, these individuals have had their fates hi-jacked by the truly devious who are using these vulnerable folks to showcase Post Modern relativism applied to a highly complex psycho-physical-social condition. The result of this "anything can be anything" spectacle has been an absolute horror for way too many, like landing on Chance and picking the card that says, "Go straight to hell in a hand-basket. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200." On a much lesser level, the same can be said about the Bud Light marketing fiasco whereas a PM devotee thought she could sprinkle fairy dust, wave her magic wand and this would become that...another subjective fantasy blown to bits by objective reality. The Post Modernists need to put this nonsensical thinking back into whatever dark crevice it crawled out of before more innocent people become brainwashed into believing that if you are unhappy with an aspect of your life, the answer lies in simply changing rest of the world, an approach most six-years-old's have transcended. There is nothing wrong with thinking outside the box, and we need creative people to keep pushing the envelope, but what happened to the balance? Thinking things into reality is not to be taken literally. As Thomas Edison suggested, "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration." You must take an idea out for a walk and try it before believing it is true or good. You must do the hard work necessary to realize success. There is no free lunch. I am not sure how many people could relate to what a person must be going through [real or imagined] if one feels as if their gender is in question, but one thing's for sure, this problem needs to be handled by professionals in several disciplines that DO NOT have an ideological agenda. As well, it should be obvious that it is parents [with professional consultation] and not the State who has the right to decide what is most appropriate for minor children confronting this maze of uncertainty. If anything can be taken from this entire fiasco, science must be once again disinfected in order to kill any remnants of ideology and political coercion, returning to the use of proven techniques which reveal which ideas hold the most truth [within a context of other possibilities which require further study].
So what about the people who are happy with their transition? Should we stuff their rights back into a box to make you happy? While we lose them to suicide?
This is a VERY serious medical condition that needs VERY serious health professionals dealing with it. If adults [and their health professionals] come to the conclusion that transition is what is needed and it is successful, all the power to them, but the process is being contaminated by those who have ideological and or commercial interests. This is even worse than the tens of thousands of open heart surgeries that were being done to patients in the 80's and 90's when other MUCH less [invasive and costly] therapies were available.
That is not the idea at all. I am perfectly willing to accept a transitioned person as the sex they believe they are. I do draw that line at trans men competing in woman’s sports. It is a fairness issue and a safety issue. Fairness concerns the rights of biological women to compete against other biological women. They should not have to compete with trans men who are bigger and stronger.
Why not just let them be people. NOT advertisements for a deviance, not promoters, not encroaching on the achievements of others by pretending to be real instead of impersonators. That's when and where the troubles begin. If you chose to be an imitation or impersonator, you should be known as such. That's fact and truth. Nothing harmful or wrongful about that.
But they can’t transition. That’s the point. No amount of surgeries or hormones can change reality. If it could, transweirdos would not require acceptance
I don’t have to wonder I KNOW. This has its genesis in Alex Jones rants about “gay frogs” and doubled down on by the likes of Tucker (ball tanner) Carlson https://www.rollingstone.com/politi...-targeting-christians-gun-control-1234705347/ The saddest and I mean the absolute saddest part of all of this is the “intersex/DSD” community who were often surgically “corrected” and “assigned” sex as infants. There has been a big campaign to stop this practice, a practice that often entailed removing gonads and making the child sterile. The push was to wait until the child was old enough to decide for themselves. It is inevitable that a proportion of children going through “gender firming care” are these intersex children who often have the most complex needs I.e Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases...enal-hyperplasia/symptoms-causes/syc-20355205 Or the “opposite” Complete Androgen Insensitivity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_androgen_insensitivity_syndrome
thanks, @impermanence i had almost forgotten the moral panic about"post modernism." haven't you guys moved on to "cultural marxism" or "wokeness?"
You are context dropping. Physical abnormalities and chromosomal anomalies do not constitute an argument for denial of reality. And a video is not an argument. Human sexual development is by nature male and female. One or the other. I’m sorry you’ve been sheeped into believing otherwise. By the way, make your own argument do your own thinking. Not YouTube.
All teachers are professionals on this and parents are morons, just ask those who support transgenderism. This “fiasco” is not going to end. Democrats have brainwashed people into actually believing it is possible for someone to change their sex. They believe women should be gazed upon by men in their locker rooms. They believe that women sports needs to include sports. If it’s in the left field it won’t go away. They will push it till it goes home.
Sweden started doing this stuff before it became a fad here, and their history proves how incredibly misguided the whole thing is. Transexuals are people miserable within themselves, seeking escape from themselves; from who feel they are. Changing your sex sounds like a total escape- but turns into a trap, because no matter how far they go- they are still the same person inside and they know that, 24/7. But now they are full time fakes with no real gender role as either, and they have made an irreversible decision... frying pan to fire. Their pain does not go away. Studies of people in Sweden show transgenders have a suicide rate 20 times their comparable peers. Their physical health suffers too, probably because of stress, which they would be under constantly- makes you about 3 times more likely to develop serious health issues such as cancer and heart conditions. These are not happy people- they are faking the happiness as well as the gender, and demanding you help convince them they really are OK now. They want the fantasy to be so real they won't remember its fantasy. It's tragic. https://www.heritage.org/gender/commentary/sex-reassignment-doesnt-work-here-the-evidence
They can't even be happy accepting themselves for what they actually are yet they expect us to accept their pretend self
Well at the core of this twisted ideology is the acceptance of consciousness above existence. Essentially, if you believe in reality through a subjective lens and refuse to accept that reality exists independent of yourself than it’s easy to be a delusional sheep that buys in to your own lies.
twisted ideology = maga/trumpism. i would prefer using my own lens, thank you, than that of a twisted wanna be billionaire with a "positive thinking" fetish. .
So, if you were looking to learn, to gain, and overcome your own limitations, you would assume that the people who accomplish the most are stupid, because they don't think like you do. Unfortunately that is fairly common. Insures you will learn only from people who confirm what you want to believe. Might as well stick your head in a bucket, pretend the echos are voices of wisdom. Anybody who has actually become a billionaire on their own obviously knows a lot of things you don't know. When I meet them, I respectfully ask them how they have accomplished their success- and if you can ask that question respectfully, most will tell you. If your approach and attitude are wrong, they dismiss you immediately, because they know you are incapable of learning from them, and they won't waste their time on you. Wealthy and successful people have their faults- but then so do all of us. You don't have to like them to learn from them. You don't have to accept their beliefs. But if you don't learn- you are the one who loses. I'm amazed that anyone can watch the ****-show that we are living in now, and think things are "better" because of the politics they chose.
