the depressing death of tttt : Anonymous : 67 days ago : No.1721

obviously, it was a rotting corpse for a long time, but it did offer a place for self aware agps and a refugee from the overly woke lgbt spaces of the late 10s and early 20s. i was a newfag having only started using in 2022 but it truely just was a place that i felt surrounded by peers, and thats just gone. everyone fled to xitter, to discords, and everything public just gets raided with extremely basic ywnbaw posters i feel that unless a specific imageboard is created for trannies then its over, and it will never have any sort of staying power. everyone hates gays and trannies too much now ig to let us have a space on their site i hate having to use xitter, i hate having to use reddit, i hate having to use disc its just depressing looking back at only 2 years ago and seeing how good it was

I'm not trans but I read tttt from time to time and I always found it funny and sincere. Probably did more to make me empathise with tr00ns than any liberal browbeating. Sincerely sorry you lost your little place on the web.

I am not going to miss tttt. For someone like me it was the funniest place on the internet, but it was also the most painful. The pervasive toxic self-loathing of the community was both hilarious and agonizing, but the former kept overwhelming the latter, so some years ago I quit and never looked back. That said, I'm sorry for your loss. I know what it's like to see a community you circle the drain. /tg/ never stopped being the best RPG forum on the internet, but the last decade or so has been like watching your favourite grandparent slide into senility. It used to be such a creative and vibrant place, people would make stuff, they would write and tell stories, they would make art, they would make entire RPGs. All of that is diminished, not entirely gone, but less than it was. Driven off by schizo posters shitting up threads, insane moderators who don't appreciate the things that build communities, and just the merciless churn of time. If I had to mark the point in which /tg/ entered terminal decline it was when they punted Quests off the board. It caused a lot of creatives to flee, and the place was just never the same again.

Been feeling very much the same about the death of 4chan as a whole. I don't doubt that it'll eventually come back in some capacity but I don't really want it too. >1735 is right about the delince into senility. I and a lot of others grew up on the site and never fully left it. I'm married with a career and looking to have kids but I would still find myself wandering the halls of 4chan frequently like it was an old neighborhood that's since gone to shit. I'll miss it but I hope it stays dead.

i was on /tttt/ since 2018. it was genuinely such a breath of fresh air for trans women that didn't subscribe to the delusional reddit hugbox or believe honscience or were actually attracted to men but were too beaten down by their families/repressed/internet brained to be stereotypical instagram tier husstusses. the memes were great and the shared commisserating got me through being kicked out at 16 and coping with male bone structure, i made some good friends, even irl ones. it got bad when all the more cutesy boymoder/greentext smut shit breached containment and the board was unrecognizable by 2022. it turned into boring agp reddit tier slop, with no good OC, constant hugboxxing, and boring threads. it also had popped up on the shartys radar so more targeted bait threads were common. also the /tttt/ reddits fucking suck. everyone hugboxxes because it's like the worst of the tripfag epidemic again. sooooo much humblebragging my god lol. unfunny memes, unlikable people. RIP K and I wish the best to anyone else who coped with the misery of life as a tranny by posting on /tttt/

Was on /tttt/ almost daily for six months or so starting in late 2021. It was bizarre seeing screenshots end up on places like IG, just to get likes from people I knew IRL. I forced myself off of it and was never really able to get addicted to it again, not that it was a great quality to begin with, but there was a noticeable decline after it started getting more and more notoriety on IG and Reddit. Haven't thought about K in a long time : (

>>2077 yeah i started transitioning in 2013 back before we became a political talking point and while i'm not about to blame euphoria hons for america's descent into retardo-fascism i absolutely do blame them for oversaturating our public image with tonedeaf reddit shit. it's like a few dozen viral videos of unhinged spergs has completely overshadowed what trans people are actually like. everyone i know has basically given up on trying to integrate with cis people because despite most trannies being behaviorally indistinguishable from your average autistic art hoe, everyone thinks we're skirt go spinny ladyboner hons despite never having interacted with trans people outside of videos their chud friend sends them. which sucks because now it's like the only ones they're exposed to are the freaks that *nobody* wants to be around. i remember going to a /k/ meetup when i was really early in. i didn't pass, just kinda looked like a twink that was too feminine to not have something else going on. i got a few nasty comments but once they realized i was chill everything was fine. i made a few friends there and we got along really well, but around 2015/2016 they did a 180 and started treating me like shit because /pol/ told them to. i miss when the internet "wasn't real life", now it's like all the tangible experiences people have when disconnected from the internet exist only to inform how they interact with people online. they don't even work out or go shooting anymore, they just get drunk and share memes on telegram. bleak as fuck
While I am not trans, but I liked the /tttt/ humor and it made me sympathetic to trans (which I doubt I would be otherwise). In some respects it seemed far more sane than other spots like reddit, Tumblr, because of the emphasis on GD, rather than the constant 'euphoria' weirdness that's taken over.

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/british-transport-police-supreme-court-nhs-kemi-badenoch-ehrc-b1223062.html Transsexual women will be strip searched by males now in the UK. Is this something that many Brits really agree with? It is one thing to say you don't want barely-convincing trans women playing in women's sport (sometimes this seems a form of exhibitionism to me). It is quite another to say you want ordinary trans people to be treated like this when in custody. This actually goes further than, for instance, Florida under Ron DeSantis. The trans lobby has really fucked up in the UK.

>>2321 The British Transport Police deals with the railway network. Common reasons they might detain someone would be drugs, knives etc. Airports have different police The upshot of the new rule is that MtF trans have to be searched by men, even if they have had genital surgery. Tbh I don't really care if female employees are 'forced' to search trannies because that is literally their job, while the people being searched have got no choice in it. It's like a woman demanding a female gynecologist (totally fair) vs a female nurse saying she won't help a man with, say, a urinary catheter or perform a prostate exam where that's indicated. I think it is just wrong to make a transitioned woman be searched by men (and vice versa). But I also think cis woman should be able to be refused being searched by a trans woman too. Unfortunately many people can't strike a balance and have to treat trans women as either exactly the same as cis women or as just men (probably as 'perverted' men)

>>2321 >>2348 I'm not trans but it saddens me to think that trans women will be treated presumptively as men. The trans lobbies should have kept out weirdos and perverts like, for instance, convicted murderers who want to move to a female prison
It's the logical outcome of allowing passengers to request being searched by someone of their own sex; the extension / reflect of it - this new rule - is to make it optional for airport employees to strip search travellers of the opposite sex. It sounds crude but it protects actual women, and I do expect there will be room for individual butthole searchers of the female sex to opt-in to probing trannies. So it still comes down to the individuals and is really not an issue.
Anonymous : 64 days ago : No.2323
Okay, reading that shit it does sound like they may have overlooked that individual employees SHOULD be allowed to opt-in to probing the opposite sex on a "if anyone volunteers" basis. Without that it'd suck and be a too-simplistic, overly rigid rule. But to not ever force female employees to search trannies is entirely fine.

If you support transgender, you are insane, and should be thrown in a mental asylum. We will wipe out this perversion with the gun and the noose, it is the only way. People are turning against the degenerates, and rightfully so. We remember how you destroyed Weimar. We are wiping another era of degeneracy off the map.

They only pass in a photo, and only when a woman is not standing next to them. IRL you can see a clear difference because the proportions are different, and no surgery fixes that.

it's interesting that an entire sexual/psychological subculture can be propped up entirely by state funding/promotion and by the fact that if you have an anime avatar and a cute name online you get positive attention i don't think trannies are always "pretending" or are conscious sexual perverts. with a lot of younger ones it actually seems to be social contagion and "i actually hate sex because i was exposed to jewish pornography constantly nonstop since age 8". it seems if anything a flight from the sexual to say that you, a 15 year old, are actually a transmasc demisexual therian. that and it makes the adults in your life scramble to take care of you and validate you

Recently I replied to a trans woman on reddit who was complaining about the new law in England about the definition of women and the prospect of not being allowed in women's bathrooms, even though this wasn't in an English speaking community. Basically I told him that you don't even need statistics to decide whether men should be allowed in female sports and bathrooms or not. Common sense and a minimal amount of respect for women is enough. He replied saying trans women had nothing in common with men (lol), that no one would even attempt to commit sexual crimes in women's bathrooms in broad daylight (more and more reports of just that prove him wrong, but even then I can't believe how disingenuous you'd have to be to claim that something that has been happening since even before trans laws doesn't happen at all) and that a trans person that doesn't transition is missing something that the rest of humanity can take for granted, the same way someone who needs glasses could take them off but then they'd be at a disadvantage. That last part is what annoyed me the most, because somehow we're supposed to believe that everyone is born with a gender-soul of sorts and the lucky majority can go about life happily ever after but trans people just HAVE to irreversibly mutilate themselves, force themselves into opposite sex spaces and make everyone disrespect their own intelligence by having to call them by something they fundamentally aren't, in order to be able to feel like the rest of regular humans. He can choose to look like a woman, a woman did not choose to be born one. And yet women are the lucky ones for this? It's one thing to claim that the only effective treatment for alleviating gender dysphoria is physical transition, and a wildly different one to assert that trans people are just like the opposite sex in every meaningful way and that transition is a neutral or even positive process that renders them indistinguishable from a biological member of the sex they claim to be. At least transmeds were honest about having a mental illness.

>Recent evidence indicates that homosexuals and bisexuals are, on average, at greater risk for psychiatric problems than heterosexuals. It is assumed with some supporting evidence that prejudice often experienced by nonheterosexuals makes them more vulnerable to psychiatric disorder, but there has been no investigation of alternative explanations. Here we used Eysenck's Neuroticism and Psychoticism scales as markers for psychiatric vulnerability and compared heterosexuals with nonheterosexuals in a community-based sample of identical and nonidentical twins aged between 19 and 52 years (N = 4904). Firstly, we tested whether apparent sexual orientation differences in psychiatric vulnerability simply mirrored sex differences-for our traits, this would predict nonheterosexual males having elevated Neuroticism scores as females do, and nonheterosexual females having elevated Psychoticism scores as males do. Our results contradicted this idea, with nonheterosexual men and women scoring significantly higher on Neuroticism and Psychoticism than their heterosexual counterparts, suggesting an overall elevation of psychiatric risk in nonheterosexuals. Secondly, we used our genetically informative sample to assess the viability of explanations invoking a common cause of both nonheterosexuality and psychiatric vulnerability. We found significant genetic correlation between sexual orientation and both Neuroticism and Psychoticism, but no corresponding environmental correlations, suggesting that if there is a common cause of both nonheterosexuality and psychiatric vulnerability it is likely to have a genetic basis rather than an environmental basis. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19588238/

>>3982 It is denied because LGBT+ NGOs would like to use suicide rates amongst LGBTs as evidence for oppression, which means that the NGOs need to suck more monies from the government or big donors. They also think that it would encourage conversion therapy as it would give some reason for it other than disgust at homosexuality, but there's no reason to think people can be converted from neurotic to normal either. It's in your genes, and always about management This is not to deny that genuine homo/transphobia does exist, but the great differences in e.g. personality disorders (especially BPD) between gays and straights is based on inborn characteristics. Personally, I remember having extreme parental separation anxiety as a young child and it seems like a lot of gay people are the same. Interestingly, MtF trans who have personality disorders have similar ones as women who do (e.g. BPD, histrionic, dependent) while FtM have more male ones (schizoid, schizotypal, paranoid).

We found significant genetic correlation between sexual orientation and both Neuroticism and Psychoticism, but no corresponding environmental correlations, suggesting that if there is a common cause of both nonheterosexuality and psychiatric vulnerability it is likely to have a genetic basis rather than an environmental basis. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19588238/

Are there any ways to deal with gender dysphoria which don't involve transitioning? Transitioning is not desirable in some cases, e.g., where people will not be able to pass

It is denied because LGBT+ NGOs would like to use suicide rates amongst LGBTs as evidence for oppression, which means that the NGOs need to suck more monies from the government or big donors. They also think that it would encourage conversion therapy as it would give some reason for it other than disgust at homosexuality, but there's no reason to think people can be converted from neurotic to normal either. It's in your genes, and always about management This is not to deny that genuine homo/transphobia does exist, but the great differences in e.g. personality disorders (especially BPD) between gays and straights is based on inborn characteristics. Personally, I remember having extreme parental separation anxiety as a young child and it seems like a lot of gay people are the same. Interestingly, MtF trans who have personality disorders have similar ones as women who do (e.g. BPD, histrionic, dependent) while FtM have more male ones (schizoid, schizotypal, paranoid).

>>4077 I've met lots of trans people in real life. FtMs are often more normal, sometimes even chill, though typically awkward, autistic women who didn't fit in even before transitioning and definitely don't fit in after. But the transwomen, even when not mega-hons, still have a grimy, masturbatory element to them, like they're just very, very male and there's something off-putting about them wearing female clothing in a way that's different from say, Harry Styles or David Bowie.

While I am not trans, but I liked the /tttt/ humor and it made me sympathetic to trans (which I doubt I would be otherwise). In some respects it seemed far more sane than other spots like reddit, Tumblr, because of the emphasis on GD, rather than the constant 'euphoria' weirdness that's taken over.
yeah i started transitioning in 2013 back before we became a political talking point and while i'm not about to blame euphoria hons for america's descent into retardo-fascism i absolutely do blame them for oversaturating our public image with tonedeaf reddit shit. it's like a few dozen viral videos of unhinged spergs has completely overshadowed what trans people are actually like. everyone i know has basically given up on trying to integrate with cis people because despite most trannies being behaviorally indistinguishable from your average autistic art hoe, everyone thinks we're skirt go spinny ladyboner hons despite never having interacted with trans people outside of videos their chud friend sends them. which sucks because now it's like the only ones they're exposed to are the freaks that *nobody* wants to be around. i remember going to a /k/ meetup when i was really early in. i didn't pass, just kinda looked like a twink that was too feminine to not have something else going on. i got a few nasty comments but once they realized i was chill everything was fine. i made a few friends there and we got along really well, but around 2015/2016 they did a 180 and started treating me like shit because /pol/ told them to. i miss when the internet "wasn't real life", now it's like all the tangible experiences people have when disconnected from the internet exist only to inform how they interact with people online. they don't even work out or go shooting anymore, they just get drunk and share memes on telegram. bleak as fuck

>>4160
>>4118 the tricky part is that the transgender movement is secondary to transsexuality as a medical condition. both transgender and transsexual are words with fluid definitions these days, but i rigidly define the former as an umbrella term for people who, in daily life, find that the expectations placed on them due to their sex is incongruent with how they naturally desire to act, and the latter referring to anyone who is altering their physicality/body composition in order to address a painful veil of dissociation and anxiety relating to a biological incompatibility between their nervous system and their hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. few people use these definitions, but current definitions for both fail to explain why transitioning/hormone therapy is important (other than "because it makes me feel good"), and the current medical consensus treats the nervous system/HPG axis mismatch as a given. to answer >>4131 , i don't think treatment of gender dysphoria should require anyone to present as the opposite gender in all parts of life. whenever i think of a requirement or compulsion for trans people to adhere to one gender or another, i think of the archaic "lived experience" tests that doctors would require for trans people who want to start HRT, where you're required to have "lived as a woman" for anywhere from six months to several years before being diagnosed with GID. at best, it's a humiliation ritual, and speaking from experience, it often ends with great physical harm coming to those who attempt it. it seems obvious to me that if you give someone born male a proper regimen of testosterone blockers and estrogen, they're going to react very very badly to it if they're cis. we *know* men get terribly depressed if they have low T, add high E to that and it becomes obvious they're not trans. >>4131 brought up SEA; as an example, only a minority of thai transgender women refer to themselves as a "second kind of woman" (phuying praphet song). from what i've been able to glean, there isn't much of need for a conciliatory third gender over there because transsexualism had been recognized as "a thing that exists" and "not a reason to build death camps" well before industrialization was able to affect their gender norms. thailand is really special in that way, and i know enough about that to know their integration of trans people is not repeatable elsewhere for reasons i am not qualified to explain. the "IT'S MA'AM" shit is what gets me. i have never once encountered someone like that IRL. i've almost exclusively interacted with MtFs for a few years now, and before that i still interacted with the broader trans community almost as often as i did society at large. i've met cringey poorly socialized gooners, but they were always awkward and preferred isolation. the kind of trans women that end up in cringe compilations are such an astronomically small minority that gatekeeping won't do anything, the only reason anyone's aware of them is because people *love* to click ragebait headlines and share them to their friends, and this obsession with cruelty and schadenfreude was exploited in order to bring about the shitshow that america is now. it was *always* artificial. zoomers won't understand but this is like if mainstream media in the late 2000s/early 2010s started reporting on autistic lolcows in a coordinated effort to positively associate anti-autistic legislation with high approval ratings. it's like how liberals have been the "fiscal conservatives that hate guns" party ever since reagan broke them; like guns, it is just another controlled topic that can be manipulated by both parties without meaningfully affecting what keeps the nation's gears turning. internally, the trans community could really use some gatekeeping in certain areas. between trans people and society, the propaganda engine that's using us as the smokescreen of the week needs to be named and recognized, if only so we can stop grifters and geriatrics from stripping the nation's wires so they can sell the copper. until then we won't even be able to agree on a shared reality, much less on what is and isn't acceptable for a law-abiding minority of people comparable in size to the global population of gingers.

>>4127 One aspect of the crackdown on trans in USA/UK is that, as sad as it is, it'll have a Darwinian effect on the movement and force it to split/adapt/evolve as needed. (I still think that some crackdown was inevitable, what with non-transitioned 'MTF' prisoners in women's prisoners, which is one of the stupidest things of all time, and which most normal trans people would find stupid too.) My thinking about the future of the movement is on similar lines to yours, however you need to consider the following: 1) The transmedicalist community is essentially constituted of highly dysphoric trans people who view dysphoria as a sine qua non of trans-ness. It is thoroughly repulsed by the behavior of 'tucutes' (non-dysphoric trans people) and wants doctors to gatekeep more in order to prevent the 'true trans' from being conflated with them. It is put off by non-binary identities and feel no kinship with them 2) Transmedicalists still view themselves as 'really' men or 'really' women deep down, on the inside. In general, they do not assent to the idea that they are 'just men, who feel better living as women' (or vice versa). They will make the same demands upon others to view them as genuinely men/women. This runs into your fifth point. We will just have to agree to disagree: to say that we can treat a trans person as their new gender in most but not all circumstances. 3) Trans people are having anti-discrimination laws turned against them, be it the Equality Act in the UK (which is interpreted now to mandate shopowners to actively forbid transgender people from using the toilets of their proclaimed gender), or Title IX in the US (which is being used to exercise managerial control from the top over universities and schools). Going forward, these rules should be repealed. Trans people should ally with conservatives to stop centralised, quasi-Marxist bureaucracies controlling random cafés and pubs' toilet arrangements. Let each, say, spa make its own decision about whether, and in what circumstances, to allow transgender people. It is ironic that the NGO industry and legal world into which trans activists insinuated themselves has become the main weapon used against trans people 4) In SE Asia, which has a long history of men transitioning to women, trans people view themselves as 'a woman, but a different type of woman'. Is this viable for the West? Probably not, given that trans people in that part of the world are very marginalized and pushed toward the sex industry. 5) Contrary to the way things are trending, it should be difficult to change your name/sex on ID card but easy to get hormones. If people want to live as feminine males or women with big clits, that's fine, but to gain the right to use the bathroom of a different sex to your birth sex, you should have to prove your legitimacy to some board of doctors. No rapists or violent criminals can ever be allowed to change sex; sorry, we just can't let that happen. Basically I agree with you and I hope your tenets could be the basis of the normalization of normal trans people, but it seems a long way away. >>4128 What job do you have where you meet lots of trans people in real life? Very rarely do I even see one. Substantial populations of FtMs are schizotypal or schizophrenic or borderline personality. Your reaction is probably based around intrinsic disgust at male-bodied people presenting themselves as women, given that you've no basis to think that there is, in general, an indulgent sexual element lurking within people you barely know. Doubtless, if they looked like Hunter Schafer you would not react in the same way. >f you were going to /k/ meetups (a wtf in itself), you likely fit this mold This strikes me as more awkward, autistic behavior than it is indulgent sexual grimy masturbatory etc.

>>4131 By "We will just have to agree to disagree..." in 2), I meant that society and trans people will just have to agree to disagree, not that you and I have to agree to disagree. Personally, for me gender is a gestalt and I can't change the way I feel about someone based on their identification as trans, it's based on my impression of their appearance and behavior. I still use the pronouns they would wish, though, but I wouldn't if I felt their transitioning was actively harming others. On the other hand, I can know someone is trans and still perceive them as 'just another woman'/'just another man', if they satisfy the gestalt. TERFs call this sex stereotyping, trans people call it transphobic, but everyone does this.

(I still think that some crackdown was inevitable, what with non-transitioned 'MTF' prisoners in women's prisoners, which is one of the stupidest things of all time, and which most normal trans people would find stupid too.) My thinking about the future of the movement is on similar lines to yours, however you need to consider the following: 1) The transmedicalist community is essentially constituted of highly dysphoric trans people who view dysphoria as a sine qua non of trans-ness. It is thoroughly repulsed by the behavior of 'tucutes' (non-dysphoric trans people) and wants doctors to gatekeep more in order to prevent the 'true trans' from being conflated with them. It is put off by non-binary identities and feel no kinship with them 2) Transmedicalists still view themselves as 'really' men or 'really' women deep down, on the inside. In general, they do not assent to the idea that they are 'just men, who feel better living as women' (or vice versa). They will make the same demands upon others to view them as genuinely men/women. This runs into your fifth point. We will just have to agree to disagree: to say that we can treat a trans person as their new gender in most but not all circumstances. 3) Trans people are having anti-discrimination laws turned against them, be it the Equality Act in the UK (which is interpreted now to mandate shopowners to actively forbid transgender people from using the toilets of their proclaimed gender), or Title IX in the US (which is being used to exercise managerial control from the top over universities and schools). Going forward, these rules should be repealed. Trans people should ally with conservatives to stop centralised, quasi-Marxist bureaucracies controlling random cafés and pubs' toilet arrangements. Let each, say, spa make its own decision about whether, and in what circumstances, to allow transgender people. It is ironic that the NGO industry and legal world into which trans activists insinuated themselves has become the main weapon used against trans people 4) In SE Asia, which has a long history of men transitioning to women, trans people view themselves as 'a woman, but a different type of woman'. Is this viable for the West? Probably not, given that trans people in that part of the world are very marginalized and pushed toward the sex industry. 5) Contrary to the way things are trending, it should be difficult to change your name/sex on ID card but easy to get hormones. If people want to live as feminine males or women with big clits, that's fine, but to gain the right to use the bathroom of a different sex to your birth sex, you should have to prove your legitimacy to some board of doctors. No rapists or violent criminals can ever be allowed to change sex; sorry, we just can't let that happen. Basically I agree with you and I hope your tenets could be the basis of the normalization of normal trans people, but it seems a long way away. >>4128
>>4077 I've met lots of trans people in real life. FtMs are often more normal, sometimes even chill, though typically awkward, autistic women who didn't fit in even before transitioning and definitely don't fit in after. But the transwomen, even when not mega-hons, still have a grimy, masturbatory element to them, like they're just very, very male and there's something off-putting about them wearing female clothing in a way that's different from say, Harry Styles or David Bowie. Like you can tell it's not for comfort or fashion, there's just an indulgent sexual element to it and we're all supposed to pretend there isn't. If you were going to /k/ meetups (a wtf in itself), you likely fit this mold.
What job do you have where you meet lots of trans people in real life? Very rarely do I even see one. Substantial populations of FtMs are schizotypal or schizophrenic or borderline personality. Your reaction is probably based around intrinsic disgust at male-bodied people presenting themselves as women, given that you've no basis to think that there is, in general, an indulgent sexual element lurking within people you barely know. Doubtless, if they looked like Hunter Schafer you would not react in the same way. >f you were going to /k/ meetups (a wtf in itself), you likely fit this mold This strikes me as more awkward, autistic behavior than it is indulgent sexual grimy masturbatory etc.

By "We will just have to agree to disagree..." in 2), I meant that society and trans people will just have to agree to disagree, not that you and I have to agree to disagree. Personally, for me gender is a gestalt and I can't change the way I feel about someone based on their identification as trans, it's based on my impression of their appearance and behavior. I still use the pronouns they would wish, though, but I wouldn't if I felt their transitioning was actively harming others. On the other hand, I can know someone is trans and still perceive them as 'just another woman'/'just another man', if they satisfy the gestalt. TERFs call this sex stereotyping, trans people call it transphobic, but everyone does this.

I'm convinced a lot of the MTFs are simply men who want to opt out of the suffering and trauma inflicted on men in our society. I also don't understand what they mean by "I've never really felt like a man/woman". How do they conceptualize people "feeling" like a man or woman? I don't wake up every morning with my dick in my hand ready to punch holes in drywall, am I not a man? I really don't understand the whole thing to be honest, it feels like an illness that is predicated on already having a certain understanding/lens of the world >>4160 The trans I'm friends with spend way too much time on the internet and are kind of gross in some of the things they say. Sometimes they just start rambling about their nebulous disabilities and it's very exhausting. The "IT'S MA'AM" stuff is definitely not very real and most of those videos are probably just farming ragebait anyway. The compilation videos you're referring to are consumed by the elderly (millenials/boomers)

>>4077 It's a lack of gate-keeping within the transgender movement: a lack of gate-keeping is fatal to any political movement. Now the weird people have been allowed to control the discourse. It may be, unfortunately, that as it becomes harder to live as a trannie that high IQ, ordinary people will not transition and will repress, leaving the ones who have poor impulse control or nothing left to lose making up the majority. It may be that the movement splits and a more medicalized/scientific group of trans separate themselves from the crazy masses As soon as I saw my real-life friends watching and sending on the "IT'S MA'AM!!" clip, I knew that trans acceptance was basically over. Plus Wi Spa. Anyway hope you are doing ok there in US.
the tricky part is that the transgender movement is secondary to transsexuality as a medical condition. both transgender and transsexual are words with fluid definitions these days, but i rigidly define the former as an umbrella term for people who, in daily life, find that the expectations placed on them due to their sex is incongruent with how they naturally desire to act, and the latter referring to anyone who is altering their physicality/body composition in order to address a painful veil of dissociation and anxiety relating to a biological incompatibility between their nervous system and their hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. few people use these definitions, but current definitions for both fail to explain why transitioning/hormone therapy is important (other than "because it makes me feel good"), and the current medical consensus treats the nervous system/HPG axis mismatch as a given. to answer >>4131

, i don't think treatment of gender dysphoria should require anyone to present as the opposite gender in all parts of life. whenever i think of a requirement or compulsion for trans people to adhere to one gender or another, i think of the archaic "lived experience" tests that doctors would require for trans people who want to start HRT, where you're required to have "lived as a woman" for anywhere from six months to several years before being diagnosed with GID. at best, it's a humiliation ritual, and speaking from experience, it often ends with great physical harm coming to those who attempt it. it seems obvious to me that if you give someone born male a proper regimen of testosterone blockers and estrogen, they're going to react very very badly to it if they're cis. we *know* men get terribly depressed if they have low T, add high E to that and it becomes obvious they're not trans. >>4131

brought up SEA; as an example, only a minority of thai transgender women refer to themselves as a "second kind of woman" (phuying praphet song). from what i've been able to glean, there isn't much of need for a conciliatory third gender over there because transsexualism had been recognized as "a thing that exists" and "not a reason to build death camps" well before industrialization was able to affect their gender norms. thailand is really special in that way, and i know enough about that to know their integration of trans people is not repeatable elsewhere for reasons i am not qualified to explain. the "IT'S MA'AM" shit is what gets me. i have never once encountered someone like that IRL. i've almost exclusively interacted with MtFs for a few years now, and before that i still interacted with the broader trans community almost as often as i did society at large. i've met cringey poorly socialized gooners, but they were always awkward and preferred isolation. the kind of trans women that end up in cringe compilations are such an astronomically small minority that gatekeeping won't do anything, the only reason anyone's aware of them is because people *love* to click ragebait headlines and share them to their friends, and this obsession with cruelty and schadenfreude was exploited in order to bring about the shitshow that america is now. it was *always* artificial. zoomers won't understand but this is like if mainstream media in the late 2000s/early 2010s started reporting on autistic lolcows in a coordinated effort to positively associate anti-autistic legislation with high approval ratings. it's like how liberals have been the "fiscal conservatives that hate guns" party ever since reagan broke them; like guns, it is just another controlled topic that can be manipulated by both parties without meaningfully affecting what keeps the nation's gears turning. internally, the trans community could really use some gatekeeping in certain areas. between trans people and society, the propaganda engine that's using us as the smokescreen of the week needs to be named and recognized, if only so we can stop grifters and geriatrics from stripping the nation's wires so they can sell the copper. until then we won't even be able to agree on a shared reality, much less on what is and isn't acceptable for a law-abiding minority of people comparable in size to the global population of gingers.

>>4161 yeah i don't expect your trans friends to go outside any time soon. in the midwest and on the east coast at least, the gross rambling shutin seems to be the most common kind of trans woman. in most cases they're just insanely depressed, trying to dissociate and distract themselves from the existential dread instilled by complete disenfranchisement. you gotta have a thick hide to be trans and live any sort of fulfilling life; most people lack that but get by without directly receiving too much aggression because of our society's insane amount of tolerance for antisocial behavior. trans women are one of those minorities that are absolutely not afforded that flexibility. we're going to see a lot of strong-willed trans women gain notoriety in the next few years, but for every one of them there's a few hundred hylics that can't stand being away from their triple monitor setup running discord, final fantasy, and valorant without either having a panic attack (if they grew up poor) or throwing a shockingly impotent hissy fit (if they grew up rich). the main reason i care enough to write all this shit is because the internet is the main place cis people interact with trans people, and the only voices you can hear are coming from those kinda people. the "not feeling like a man/woman" thing is the result of the aforementioned nervous system/HPG axis mismatch. tl;dr, the core of GID is lies somewhere in the development of the nervous system as the result of some form of disruption in the early stages of embryonic development, likely mostly in the first 14 or 16 weeks of pregnancy. historically this disruption could occur purely due to the genetic predispositions of the parents, and while that's still true, microplastics are undoubtedly important in the modern presentation of GID due to how easily they can disrupt sexual development. research into the genetic components of GID is slower now because a lot of money and attention is going towards pseudoscience like the cass report or whatever the trump admin is calling their recent report on the matter. ime real researchers are dissuaded by both the difficulty of getting funding for unbiased research on the matter, and the risks involved with putting out unbiased research on a heavily politicized topic. a surprising amount of them have real ethical concerns regarding their research being used to harm trans people, which gives me a lot of hope for the future tbh... GID has existed forever but has definitely become more common now, though the rise in diagnoses due to availability of medical intervention/modern diagnostic criteria is still almost solely responsible for the seemingly increasing number of trans people. the genetic component seems to be related to the widespread endocrine disruption from pollutants, namely microplastics. that, the modern diet, children being born to older mothers, and the realities of post-industrial, post-war sex selection are among the most clearly related factors. chromosomal sex is determined at fertilization, but the development of sex characteristics relies on a complex network of genes that are heavily disrupted by microplastics. it feels like a buzzword, but microplastics will go down in history as the greatest public health crisis in human history and the species will be forever molded by its consequences. i often fear the grand consequences of institutionalized transphobia becoming the global norm. americans already fear that their children will "become" trans, like a blood omen representing the sins of modernity. hatred of trans people has further eroded the significance of blood relation. it's like sexism 2. instead of fearing your wife will give birth to a girl who can't continue your bloodline, even a son may be a "trojan woman" that's come to ensure your family name will not survive the next generation. people care so fucking much about that they'll beat their own children to death. i've seen it happen, and now i can't see cis people casually discussing "the trans issue" the same again. i'm tired of people being so distracted by cringe that they lose the ability to think about the logical conclusion of indulging emotions as caustic as disgust. i've done more than enough posting for today lmao i gotta run some errands. this is the first decent conversation i've had on an imageboard since before the lainchan cataclysm spawned arisuchan. i don't know the origins of petrarchan but i like talking to all of you. ttyl~

>>4161 >I'm convinced a lot of the MTFs are simply men who want to opt out of the suffering and trauma inflicted on men in our society. For example? I'm not denying that men are suffering and that collectively we're going to have to change the way we deal with men's issues if we want any meaningful progress, but most of the time I see someone talk about "men's suffering" it's used as a buzzword to express dislike of modern identity politics and more specifically, the shifting attitudes toward women. Some of it is just boomer grumbling/bitter men making their insecurities everyone else's problem, part of it is also legitimate criticism that people can't fully put into words, either because they're terrified of wrongthink or because ultimately they don't care that much about social issues, but they can intuitively tell something is not right. No progress comes out of any of that, though. Anecdotally (because I doubt there are any studies being published about it), people who have worked at gender clinics for years have seen how the main demographic seeking treatment has shifted from very young children, male more often than not, to teenage girls. It seems that, if anything, it's teenage girls and young women who want to opt out of how women are treated in our society. That group of people is also one of the most universally mocked, and even those critical of trans activism tend to justify that surge in transitions simply by saying that young women are more susceptible to social contagion and pressures; I think it's about time we afford them some more capacity for critical thought. Even if they reach the wrong conclusions about how they can alleviate the suffering they experience, I don't think most of them are simply being swayed by the "woke mob" when they transition to avoid being perceived as women. I'm a spergy young woman myself, and when I see videos or reddit posts made by detransitioning women, I can heavily relate to the experiences that led them to consider transitioning, though it seems that mental illness and specifically certain psychological profiles are more conducive to actually going forward with the physical transition. r/detrans is full of detransitioners or trans people questioning their trans status, and not all of them are young gays/lesbians who regret getting on cross sex hormones after a year or so. Some of them lived as trans people for many years and had been experiencing dysphoria since they can remember. Yet they still detransitioned. In some cases, the dysphoria had waned, but in others it remained. The common denominator is that they realized that transitioning was just a way to hide their underlying issues and did nothing to actually help them. >I also don't understand what they mean by "I've never really felt like a man/woman". How do they conceptualize people "feeling" like a man or woman? I don't wake up every morning with my dick in my hand ready to punch holes in drywall, am I not a man? I really don't understand the whole thing to be honest, it feels like an illness that is predicated on already having a certain understanding/lens of the world. Hard agree. And this is what cements my belief that fundamentally there is no such thing as a trans person altogether. I understand that a fully transitioned stealth trans that wants nothing to do with queer activists is organically different than a they/them college student, and if I clocked one as trans I wouldn't say anything because I understand that they're just trying to live their life like anyone else, but at its core everyone lives and dies the sex that they are and no feeling or lived experience changes this. A good friend is dating a girl like that (non-binary university student), and I find it very funny that we're fairly similar physically, as in, short hair, plain unisex clothes, no makeup, etc., and those characteristics are seen by her as a means to signal that she's not really a woman, but a special third thing, while for me it's just a way to make daily life easier, with no repercussions on the sex I happen to belong to. It's ridiculous that it's even a controversial topic when it's one of the most straightforward idpol issues. Even intersex (DSD) conditions can be classified as either male or female.

>>4077 I've met lots of trans people in real life. FtMs are often more normal, sometimes even chill, though typically awkward, autistic women who didn't fit in even before transitioning and definitely don't fit in after. But the transwomen, even when not mega-hons, still have a grimy, masturbatory element to them, like they're just very, very male and there's something off-putting about them wearing female clothing in a way that's different from say, Harry Styles or David Bowie. Like you can tell it's not for comfort or fashion, there's just an indulgent sexual element to it and we're all supposed to pretend there isn't. If you were going to /k/ meetups (a wtf in itself), you likely fit this mold.
this just tells me you've only interacted with the sheltered redditor subspecies of tranny, who are probably the only ones who'd try to interact with you if only because they're not actively avoiding you. that or they never felt comfortable around you and unconsciously assumed the deer-in-headlights posture because the last time a cis person with your vibes tried to talk to them they said something fucked up. it comes down to this every time i hear a cis person "give their take" on trans people, they're always oblivious to the fact that the only trans people who'd give them the time of day are the ones who are so devoid of maturity, self control, and social experience that they've been spared the watershed moment all determined transsexuals have when they find out exactly how low on the totem pole we are. my watershed moment is actually what led me to go to that /k/ meetup lol. i got jumped in high school really bad for being visibly faggy. ended up in the hospital, needed some reconstructive surgeries, took almost a year to be able to return to normal activity. i lived in arizona at the time, so obviously i bought a handgun for self defense and shoehorned guns into a hobby, mostly because i couldn't bear to be outside without knowing i could reasonably defend myself against three or more people. there was fuck all to do in arizona in the early/mid 2010s, and i got invited by a guy i knew was chill. some of my best friends back then were veterans, and since i knew there'd be a good few vets at the meetup i went because at least i'd be able to shoot some steel. the meetup itself was fine, i don't remember most of it because it was boring. that was the last time i sought out meeting internet people irl. arizona was so boring you have nooooo idea

I also don't understand what they mean by "I've never really felt like a man/woman". How do they conceptualize people "feeling" like a man or woman?

yeah i don't expect your trans friends to go outside any time soon. in the midwest and on the east coast at least, the gross rambling shutin seems to be the most common kind of trans woman. in most cases they're just insanely depressed, trying to dissociate and distract themselves from the existential dread instilled by complete disenfranchisement. you gotta have a thick hide to be trans and live any sort of fulfilling life; most people lack that but get by without directly receiving too much aggression because of our society's insane amount of tolerance for antisocial behavior. trans women are one of those minorities that are absolutely not afforded that flexibility. we're going to see a lot of strong-willed trans women gain notoriety in the next few years, but for every one of them there's a few hundred hylics that can't stand being away from their triple monitor setup running discord, final fantasy, and valorant without either having a panic attack (if they grew up poor) or throwing a shockingly impotent hissy fit (if they grew up rich). the main reason i care enough to write all this shit is because the internet is the main place cis people interact with trans people, and the only voices you can hear are coming from those kinda people. the "not feeling like a man/woman" thing is the result of the aforementioned nervous system/HPG axis mismatch. tl;dr, the core of GID is lies somewhere in the development of the nervous system as the result of some form of disruption in the early stages of embryonic development, likely mostly in the first 14 or 16 weeks of pregnancy. historically this disruption could occur purely due to the genetic predispositions of the parents, and while that's still true, microplastics are undoubtedly important in the modern presentation of GID due to how easily they can disrupt sexual development. research into the genetic components of GID is slower now because a lot of money and attention is going towards pseudoscience like the cass report or whatever the trump admin is calling their recent report on the matter. ime real researchers are dissuaded by both the difficulty of getting funding for unbiased research on the matter, and the risks involved with putting out unbiased research on a heavily politicized topic. a surprising amount of them have real ethical concerns regarding their research being used to harm trans people, which gives me a lot of hope for the future tbh... GID has existed forever but has definitely become more common now, though the rise in diagnoses due to availability of medical intervention/modern diagnostic criteria is still almost solely responsible for the seemingly increasing number of trans people. the genetic component seems to be related to the widespread endocrine disruption from pollutants, namely microplastics. that, the modern diet, children being born to older mothers, and the realities of post-industrial, post-war sex selection are among the most clearly related factors. chromosomal sex is determined at fertilization, but the development of sex characteristics relies on a complex network of genes that are heavily disrupted by microplastics. it feels like a buzzword, but microplastics will go down in history as the greatest public health crisis in human history and the species will be forever molded by its consequences. i often fear the grand consequences of institutionalized transphobia becoming the global norm. americans already fear that their children will "become" trans, like a blood omen representing the sins of modernity. hatred of trans people has further eroded the significance of blood relation. it's like sexism 2. instead of fearing your wife will give birth to a girl who can't continue your bloodline, even a son may be a "trojan woman" that's come to ensure your family name will not survive the next generation. people care so fucking much about that they'll beat their own children to death. i've seen it happen, and now i can't see cis people casually discussing "the trans issue" the same again. i'm tired of people being so distracted by cringe that they lose the ability to think about the logical conclusion of indulging emotions as caustic as disgust. i've done more than enough posting for today lmao i gotta run some errands. this is the first decent conversation i've had on an imageboard since before the lainchan cataclysm spawned arisuchan. i don't know the origins of petrarchan but i like talking to all of you. ttyl~

>I'm convinced a lot of the MTFs are simply men who want to opt out of the suffering and trauma inflicted on men in our society. For example? I'm not denying that men are suffering and that collectively we're going to have to change the way we deal with men's issues if we want any meaningful progress, but most of the time I see someone talk about "men's suffering" it's used as a buzzword to express dislike of modern identity politics and more specifically, the shifting attitudes toward women. Some of it is just boomer grumbling/bitter men making their insecurities everyone else's problem, part of it is also legitimate criticism that people can't fully put into words, either because they're terrified of wrongthink or because ultimately they don't care that much about social issues, but they can intuitively tell something is not right. No progress comes out of any of that, though. Anecdotally (because I doubt there are any studies being published about it), people who have worked at gender clinics for years have seen how the main demographic seeking treatment has shifted from very young children, male more often than not, to teenage girls. It seems that, if anything, it's teenage girls and young women who want to opt out of how women are treated in our society. That group of people is also one of the most universally mocked, and even those critical of trans activism tend to justify that surge in transitions simply by saying that young women are more susceptible to social contagion and pressures; I think it's about time we afford them some more capacity for critical thought. Even if they reach the wrong conclusions about how they can alleviate the suffering they experience, I don't think most of them are simply being swayed by the "woke mob" when they transition to avoid being perceived as women. I'm a spergy young woman myself, and when I see videos or reddit posts made by detransitioning women, I can heavily relate to the experiences that led them to consider transitioning, though it seems that mental illness and specifically certain psychological profiles are more conducive to actually going forward with the physical transition. r/detrans is full of detransitioners or trans people questioning their trans status, and not all of them are young gays/lesbians who regret getting on cross sex hormones after a year or so. Some of them lived as trans people for many years and had been experiencing dysphoria since they can remember. Yet they still detransitioned. In some cases, the dysphoria had waned, but in others it remained. The common denominator is that they realized that transitioning was just a way to hide their underlying issues and did nothing to actually help them. >I also don't understand what they mean by "I've never really felt like a man/woman". How do they conceptualize people "feeling" like a man or woman? I don't wake up every morning with my dick in my hand ready to punch holes in drywall, am I not a man? I really don't understand the whole thing to be honest, it feels like an illness that is predicated on already having a certain understanding/lens of the world. Hard agree. And this is what cements my belief that fundamentally there is no such thing as a trans person altogether. I understand that a fully transitioned stealth trans that wants nothing to do with queer activists is organically different than a they/them college student, and if I clocked one as trans I wouldn't say anything because I understand that they're just trying to live their life like anyone else, but at its core everyone lives and dies the sex that they are and no feeling or lived experience changes this. A good friend is dating a girl like that (non-binary university student), and I find it very funny that we're fairly similar physically, as in, short hair, plain unisex clothes, no makeup, etc., and those characteristics are seen by her as a means to signal that she's not really a woman, but a special third thing, while for me it's just a way to make daily life easier, with no repercussions on the sex I happen to belong to. It's ridiculous that it's even a controversial topic when it's one of the most straightforward idpol issues. Even intersex (DSD) conditions can be classified as either male or female.

>>4127 One aspect of the crackdown on trans in USA/UK is that, as sad as it is, it'll have a Darwinian effect on the movement and force it to split/adapt/evolve as needed. (I still think that some crackdown was inevitable, what with non-transitioned 'MTF' prisoners in women's prisoners, which is one of the stupidest things of all time, and which most normal trans people would find stupid too.) My thinking about the future of the movement is on similar lines to yours, however you need to consider the following: 1) The transmedicalist community is essentially constituted of highly dysphoric trans people who view dysphoria as a sine qua non of trans-ness. It is thoroughly repulsed by the behavior of 'tucutes' (non-dysphoric trans people) and wants doctors to gatekeep more in order to prevent the 'true trans' from being conflated with them. It is put off by non-binary identities and feel no kinship with them 2) Transmedicalists still view themselves as 'really' men or 'really' women deep down, on the inside. In general, they do not assent to the idea that they are 'just men, who feel better living as women' (or vice versa). They will make the same demands upon others to view them as genuinely men/women. This runs into your fifth point. We will just have to agree to disagree: to say that we can treat a trans person as their new gender in most but not all circumstances. 3) Trans people are having anti-discrimination laws turned against them, be it the Equality Act in the UK (which is interpreted now to mandate shopowners to actively forbid transgender people from using the toilets of their proclaimed gender), or Title IX in the US (which is being used to exercise managerial control from the top over universities and schools). Going forward, these rules should be repealed. Trans people should ally with conservatives to stop centralised, quasi-Marxist bureaucracies controlling random cafés and pubs' toilet arrangements. Let each, say, spa make its own decision about whether, and in what circumstances, to allow transgender people. It is ironic that the NGO industry and legal world into which trans activists insinuated themselves has become the main weapon used against trans people 4) In SE Asia, which has a long history of men transitioning to women, trans people view themselves as 'a woman, but a different type of woman'. Is this viable for the West? Probably not, given that trans people in that part of the world are very marginalized and pushed toward the sex industry. 5) Contrary to the way things are trending, it should be difficult to change your name/sex on ID card but easy to get hormones. If people want to live as feminine males or women with big clits, that's fine, but to gain the right to use the bathroom of a different sex to your birth sex, you should have to prove your legitimacy to some board of doctors. No rapists or violent criminals can ever be allowed to change sex; sorry, we just can't let that happen. Basically I agree with you and I hope your tenets could be the basis of the normalization of normal trans people, but it seems a long way away. >>4128 What job do you have where you meet lots of trans people in real life? Very rarely do I even see one. Substantial populations of FtMs are schizotypal or schizophrenic or borderline personality. Your reaction is probably based around intrinsic disgust at male-bodied people presenting themselves as women, given that you've no basis to think that there is, in general, an indulgent sexual element lurking within people you barely know. Doubtless, if they looked like Hunter Schafer you would not react in the same way. >f you were going to /k/ meetups (a wtf in itself), you likely fit this mold This strikes me as more awkward, autistic behavior than it is indulgent sexual grimy masturbatory etc.

I think it's interesting to ask why conversation therapy became disreputable. Obviously few will defend it now but it was a very attractive proposition for a lot of gays for a long time. If there were really a therapeutic way to switch sexualities then I'm certain it would be vastly more popular than the alternative... maybe even required by law. But the fact is that it's simply ineffective and more importantly it's disreputable because it frequently resorted to harmful practices. The electroshock etc has no defense. I guess my point here is that if conversion therapy were strictly a placebo -- if, for example, it consisted of having 3 bland meals a day, getting 8 hours of sleep a night, and spending 8 hours a day flipping through golf magazines in a dentist's waiting room, followed by housework chores -- then I don't think it would be such an outrageous offense against the human personality. It would just be as pointless as crystal healing.

>>4937 What level of roleplay do you have to be on to call >>4930 a man?

The idea of conversion strikes at the heart of that view. I can understand how someone who has had a more difficult life because of his sexual orientation would want to think this, because otherwise, he could ask: wouldn't it have been easier if I'd become quote-unquote normal?

>>5033 Hanging over this question of whether a given trans woman can be 'clocked' is the fact that the people you're asking the question to presumably know that they live in a society where it is common (relative to other points in time and other societies) for natal males to get cosmetic surgery and dress like women. Even trans women that 'pass' pretty well are less likely to blend in at a time when discussions about transition have permeated the public sphere. Because of this latent awareness that people who introduce themselves as women may be natal males, any attempt to objectively assess how male or female a person looks is difused with suspicion.

Gay people don't need surgery, a lifetime medical pathway, and the participation of the entire world to affirm their self perception as homosexual. They can just date and fuck people of the same sex.

>>5079 I think the desire to use established language like 'conversion therapy' is a product of a kind of activist momentum. i.e., rather than take a contemporary hot button issue on its own terms, it is easier (both cognitively and politically) to just use the "this is just [no longer contentious issue] all over again" format. Others might find this a silly comparison, but already by the time I was in high school we were being taught that racism should no longer be defined merely as 'racially prejudiced beliefs' but rather in this nebulous 'things that negatively affect minorities' way. I always thought that desperation to cling to the term racism in domains where by its literal definition it didn't apply was motivated by the same thought process: we can all agree that racism is bad, so by broadening the spectrum of things we can label racist, it will be easier to achieve 'moral clarity' on issue x or y.

And it doesn't matter even if Hunter looks female. He isn't. He can pass perfectly as a woman and he'll still be a man. I don't understand why you can't grasp this simple concept. I'm not even sure what point you're trying to make anymore. Of course I grasp that she is of the male sex, but she underwent hormonal therapy, and so on. I think trans activists and trans skeptics often talk past one another on this issue. It's queer theorists who think biological sex isn't real, is a social construction or is a spectrum. Normal, non-intellectual transsexuals do understand that a body is born male or female, but nonetheless want to have the body or the opposite sex and live as/be perceived as that sex. I do think there is an element of LARP when conservatives (I am not saying that you are one) call a trans woman, who looks like a woman, a man. Also, I don't think 'conversion therapies' for transsexuals and homosexuals are the same. I still think that in open societies, it should be legal to seek out conversion therapy, but it should be explained beforehand that there's no evidence that it works, and it should never be forced on someone. All this is hypothetical because conversion therapy seems not to work. For those who have long-lasting, unremitting gender dysphoria, psychotherapy doesn't cure the dysphoria, but it may make them more able to cope with it. People who've had GD for many years unfortunately seem not to grow out of it. Transition should be allowed as a last resort. This was the broad position of psychiatrists in the 1990s. >and its resulting physiology, especially since "gender affirming care" causes harm and leaves bodies worse off than they were before. No surgery/no "medication"/healthy body is always going to be the preferable outcome to surgery/"medication"/unhealthy body. You have to look at the outcomes of individuals with GD who transition vs those who don't transition rather than transsexuals vs normal, non-gender dysphoric people. People with GD are not 'normal' if they don't transition. They live abnormal lives whether they do or don't. >>5081 The reason that the idea of 'conversion therapy' was expanded was to prematurely close off debate. I do think that therapy which is based around the idea that transition is *never* a desirable outcome as unsuitable, however, as therapy which sees transition as an inevitable outcome. From what I've read, it seems that in some states as soon as someone saw a psychiatrist for GD, he would be put on the trans pathway. Transition should be an option where all other forms of therapy have failed. >>5082 This is all true. It's been a terrible mistake to turn a medical disorder into a political issue.

Lol, look at her 6 inch soles to match her boyfriend's height. Come on, man. Anyone can look at this picture and identify which one is the man. And it doesn't matter even if Hunter looks female. He isn't. He can pass perfectly as a woman and he'll still be a man. I don't understand why you can't grasp this simple concept. I'm not even sure what point you're trying to make anymore. "feminine pitch" - he sounds like a man trying to sound like a woman. I give up - I've heard that men are worse than women at discerning sex and you're really working to prove it. If you want to stick your dick in Hunter, it's ok. It doesn't make him a woman though. And stop comparing sexual orientation conversion therapy to transgender conversion therapy. Gay people don't need surgery, a lifetime medical pathway, and the participation of the entire world to affirm their self perception as homosexual. They can just date and fuck people of the same sex. Maybe there's an argument that conversion therapy should be available to gays, but it's a completely different subject than trying to get someone comfortable with their own biological sex and its resulting physiology, especially since "gender affirming care" causes harm and leaves bodies worse off than they were before. No surgery/no "medication"/healthy body is always going to be the preferable outcome to surgery/"medication"/unhealthy body. >>5044
>>5033 Hanging over this question of whether a given trans woman can be 'clocked' is the fact that the people you're asking the question to presumably know that they live in a society where it is common (relative to other points in time and other societies) for natal males to get cosmetic surgery and dress like women. Even trans women that 'pass' pretty well are less likely to blend in at a time when discussions about transition have permeated the public sphere. Because of this latent awareness that people who introduce themselves as women may be natal males, any attempt to objectively assess how male or female a person looks is difused with suspicion.
Yeah, it's interesting how you sort of just start learn the tells and become more attuned even if you're not trying to. Just the knowledge is enough. I remember being shocked SHOCKED that Zeke on Survivor turned out to be FtM. Now I'd be suspicious instantly, if not 100% certain.

Isn't it ironic that the treatment that involves chemicals, surgery, and rewriting your social identity is NOT the one called "conversion therapy"?

Also, I don't think 'conversion therapies' for transsexuals and homosexuals are the same. I still think that in open societies, it should be legal to seek out conversion therapy, but it should be explained beforehand that there's no evidence that it works, and it should never be forced on someone.

I think the desire to use established language like 'conversion therapy' is a product of a kind of activist momentum. i.e., rather than take a contemporary hot button issue on its own terms, it is easier (both cognitively and politically) to just use the "this is just [no longer contentious issue] all over again" format. Others might find this a silly comparison, but already by the time I was in high school we were being taught that racism should no longer be defined merely as 'racially prejudiced beliefs' but rather in this nebulous 'things that negatively affect minorities' way. I always thought that desperation to cling to the term racism in domains where by its literal definition it didn't apply was motivated by the same thought process: we can all agree that racism is bad, so by broadening the spectrum of things we can label racist, it will be easier to achieve 'moral clarity' on issue x or y.

>>5097 i agree on the language front, but i don't think that's necessarily "agreeing with the conservative stance". ime they don't actually have beliefs there, that's just one of the arguments that eventually leads to the total eradication rhetoric you see now. it's infuriating sometimes how so many trans women freak out about randos misgendering them. institutionally yeah, if a professor repeatedly misgenders a student they know is trans that's just not conducive to a healthy learning environment and that shouldn't be allowed. in that case it's not a big deal to use words that cause the least friction, that seems inherently sensible to me. similarly i don't correct people if they gender me male in public because dynamic social environments allow such things inherently. i'm transitioning for myself, not the fat gen x'er in a packers jersey giving me the evil eye at 7/11. no matter what you do, a large amount of people are going to call a magazine a clip, call contrails "chemtrails", and call trans women men. whenever i see a trans person taking casual misgendering seriously i just see sheer weakness and naiveté. the community in my city gatekeeps the hell out of weakshits like that, but they spend all their time inside playing valorant or whatever and maybe hang out with two or three similarly gormless trannies so there's only so much you can do. i see them as a subspecies of the venerable american treatler, inshallah the trump tax will starve them of their fun toys and forces their vessel to house a living soul. tbh casual misgendering is a valuable filter that's made finding good friends wayyy easier now that i'm trans. people wear that shit on their sleeve and it outs them as being uninterested in things outside their current station in life. that being said some of the biggest freaks i've ever met have been like, cis men and women that seem normal at first glance but then you realize they're trying *really really hard* to seem normal and they only use the "right" pronouns because they work in HR and enjoy it. those deceptive little shits ought to be misgendering me >>5133 if trannies were doing the kind of shit gay men do you'd have killed us all already. gender identity is more central to one's sense of self than sexuality and i don't have anything in common with a urinal-licking voyeur jacking off his freshly of-age hookup in the middle of market street for all to see

Do you think gay men have a job to gatekeep "freaks"? I think the straight community needs to gatekeep its transphobic freaks more.

>>5097
>>5092 Fair enough. If there's a material reality to biological sex, then there's a material reality to medical transition too. Though I'm beyond thinking it matters anymore politically* and that men like Hunter should just be classified as men by the legislature. That you think Hunter looks just like a woman and I think Hunter looks like Legolas just goes to show that you can't really legislate "passing" because it's not a binary. In reality, well behaved, passing transwomen will continue to use women's facilities when they're able (and hopefully get barred completely from more secure areas like prison), but the law ought to be on the women's side when they're challenged. That's the position I have arrived at and have held steady for a while, having held a much more "liberal", "progressive" stance ~10 years ago. I'm also on the conservative's side when it comes to the language. People are so dumb that I think underlining that someone is a man even if he appears to be a woman has become important. One of the arguments I used to hear the most when I participated in these gender debates was "transwomen are women, it's even in their name!" Completely insipid, but apparently powerful. I'm not going to tsk tsk someone calling a friend or family by preferred pronouns, but politicians and journalists should be using language that reflect reality when on the job. *It used to be a joke that no man would medically transition just to use the women's bathrooms, and I used to think if someone was willing to take hormones and cut their dick off, it must mean they're really innocuous and just need to "live as women", whatever that means. But now, having observed the mess we're in, I think the more barriers society puts up, the bigger the freak that rises to the challenge. The men who fully transition are often the biggest perverts around and the ones who need to be told "no" the most firmly.

The truth is, is this transgender nonsense has gone too far. It is a symptom of civilization's decline, where people who have become so fat and decadent, are trying to destroy the immortal laws of the universe. A man can never be a woman. Just as the strong will always conquer the meek, and should not be prevented in this. These laws are equivalent, and breaking them results in the end of your civilization. For more information, see the fall of the Roman Empire. If we do not stop this NOW and with TOTAL AND BRUTAL FORCE, the consequences will be disastrous. We must not let "mercy" enter our hearts, even for a microsecond, when we combat this evil. Or we may as well say that antigravity exists, and we can leap to the moon, such will the lunacy rampant be.
