Are you transgender?
You have been manipulated into believing you are someone you are not. It's totally cool to be a guy or girl that doesn't fit traditional gender stereotypes, and this used to be a huge talking point of liberals who realized that not everyone fit into the same mold. We have different personalities, and it isn't worth trading your individuality to permanently damage yourself. There is a certain point where fighting against toxicity has become toxic, as we can clearly see with the whole JK Rowling situation, but nobody wants to admit it or see it because they feel like it would be admitting defeat or that we would suddenly return to the old ways or something. I see transitioning to a different gender as putting a band-aid over a much bigger societal problem of poor mental health being commercialized and sensationalized and it's not something any good society ought to champion. There needs to be a point where this stops, and while I'm cool with people doing whatever the hell they want to do with their own bodies if they are informed and prepared enough to make that kind of decision, I'm not okay with that decision directly affecting other people negatively and I honestly do really hate to see mental illness be treated with such disgustingly trendy behavior.
There is a genuine concern about many young girls and boys growing up in a dystopian and confused society and not getting the proper guidance they need. I don't want women having their spaces invaded and their accolades taken from them by biological males because it is an undeniable fact that there are differences between the two and the vast majority of women will never be as physically capable as a man is in a lot of areas. You can be all for wanting transgender people to get the help they need (which I'm convinced is, for the vast majority of the time, just some proper guidance and healing from trauma, not mutilating your body) while also not wanting other people to be negatively affected by someone with a mental disorder just because it was politically correct for that to happen. I can't even begin to imagine how painful it would be to train really hard for a swim meet just to have a biological man come and take it from me, if I were a woman. They stand no chance.
@beardalaxy I must ask, why do you care? It is an informed choice with known consequences, but they still do it because it makes them happy. It has no effect on you so why do you care?
@Cummieboi Is it not possible to care about things that do not affect you directly?
@Cummieboi I care about people's wellbeing in general. Particularly, I care about the wellbeing of children/adolescents who are being fed absolute garbage 24/7 in order to serve political agendas and don't know any better.
@Cummieboi Does a parent's decision on whether their child should be able to consume as many sweets as they want matter? The kid will be more than happy to snack away but when they develop diabetes and become obese it won't be that fun anymore.
My whole point is that this is not healthy behavior, but saying that is looked down upon due to society at large rewarding short-term dopamine instead of actual values. Validating serious mental issues instead of treating them. And it all funnels back into the big machine.
@beardalaxy you don't know if it is healthy for them. The trans person or the parents know what is healthy for them. Just because you don't understand and are uncomfortable with transitioning dosent make it unhealthy.
@Cummieboi The suicide rate and the fact that there is an entire community of people who regret transitioning and are now permanently scarred would say otherwise. People absolutely do NOT know what is healthy for them.
@beardalaxy I would have a problem with it if detransitioners where not informed of the consequences. But they were informed, and this is the consequences of their informed action. where is the moral problem with personal reasonability.
@Cummieboi How can that possibly apply to children?
@beardalaxy well it is nice that you care for other people's well-being. Transitioning is an decision about changing there body for there happiness. Your opinion on if they should or shouldn't doesn't mater.
