If transgenderism were still considered a mental illness suffered by people who need help instead of having to rewrite biology, the sexual preferences of 90% of the world's population and language, then maybe there wouldnt be such a stigma in the first place. It's the denial of reality that creates stigma.
It is irrelevant to this topic. You hammer on about it when it has nothing to do with the topic. You yourself brought up sexual hypocrites who are homophobic/transphobic but secretly desire to have sex with the same sex. Closeted men. That has nothing to do with people of all sexual identities reacting strongly to TRA rhetoric that they have a right to people's bodies. Plus society has never been gayer. Gay and gender non-conforming men are celebrated all the time in media so it's hardly the don't-ask-don't-tell era. If men have internalized homophobia it certainly isnt because of the current cultural climate. But they should do themselves and especially any women they may be using as covers a favour and just come out. It's not fair all around.
Hmm.. is mental illness also unfairly stigmatized in our society or something? You don’t say! Lol
As if this sort of thing would not bring out the insecure males with repressed bisexual urges in DROVES... gimme a break.
You're not getting it. Mental illness itself should be destigmatized, yes. But what riles most people up is bastardizing language (including medical language), pretending that there are no reasons men might want to exclusively be with biological women or vice versa, or people refusing to acknowledge predators in the trans population who may use trans rhetoric to hide themselves (as predators exist in every demographic). The hypocrisy here is uoure all too willing to harp on about the sexually-confused bigots who hide out in the Superstraight movement yet dont offer the same criticism to trans predators who do the same thing in theirs. Biased much?
Except the loudest voice against this HAS BEEN WOMEN. Why? Because they've been disproportionately effected by this whole thing. So a percentage of sexually confused men fear for their masculinity, okay. Women have been assaulted in prisons, homeless shelters, fired for refusing to provide intimate female-exclusive services to trans women, threatened for not being willing to date one and have had their sexuality completely invalidated. Women have been linguistically erased, young girls had their sports scholarships lost to biological boys. Do you see any of this? Women are mostly speaking out. "Superstraight" is one facet of a much larger issue. Again, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. If you actually paid attention to the discourse in social media, most of the men who do comment on it are not transphobic or homophobic -they stand with gay men to be exclusively attracted to the same SEX. Even the creator of the whole thing said he doesnt stand with anyone who uses the term to bully or invalidate trans people, he simply made the term up as a meme in RESPONSE to accusations leveled against him for being transphobic (because he only wants to date bio women). It may speak more to your own sexual repression but not every man has latent homosexual urges like you seem to be so convinced of and this issue is much more serious than what you're trying to make it out to be.
I’m just being realistic because online visibility relies mostly on sensationalism across the board. “men who might want to exclusively be with biological women” describes me, actually, yet I don’t understand the need to get all defensive and start insisting I’m “super straight” in reaction to some online bullying. I think people tend to get too wrapped up and emotionally attached, and don’t realize when they begin to give virtual spaces more and more undue attention. It’s not healthy behavior for anyone.
You sure? Coz you seem awfully invested in repressed male sexuality for someone who doesn't give a shit. The fact thay you think this is just online bullying either shows you dont know what is going on or you have no empathy for the people I mentioned, especially the women who have had to deal with real consequences of rampant trans ideology.
And when it bleeds out into real scenarios and policies like any of the ones I mentioned?
No you wouldn't. Because then you would understand why some of the people have grabbed onto this movement as hard as they have. And again, you miss the point of the movement entirely. Its not a incel/4Chan/alt right troll fest. It's not a show of toxic machismo against the epidemic levels of male bi curiosity you seem to be propositioning.
. . . someone who clearly doesnt care that women and girls have been actual victims of radical trans ideology and policy.
@Faker He-Man Ignoring this wont make it go away. Give these cases a Google buddy.
So by your logic, victims of online bullying are not “actual victims”? Got it.
So transphobia is a bigger issue than protecting predators hiding under the skirts of TRAs, little girls losing their sports scholarships, grown female athletes getting injured in what is supposed to be sex-segregated combat sports and women being assaulted and harassed for being lesbians who dont want the D? Got it. Nice to know your priorities are right. I hope to God you're not actually straight.
I meant it’s the larger issue as in greater, all-encompassing, the root source of all of these growing pains. We should have already figured ALL of this stuff out a looonng time ago. We certainly have the capability, but we decided to put it off until now for some strange reason that is on the tip of my tongue but I can’t quite recall. Maybe you can jog my memory.
These are not growing pains, these are crimes. Its sexism to a destructive degree. Is it not part of the transitioning process to consult a gender therapist to confirm if you are actually trans or not? Do they not continue seeing this therapist throughout the duration of their transition? There are arguably way more trans people in therapy than the cis population. That hasn't changed how their activists fought for policies that allowed for axtual harm to happen innocent people including children. But good to know where your priorities lie. You clearly hate women.
You lost me but ok. if you say so...
Yeah , you're just anti-female.
