I have a few questions that pop up and we can tackle them each individually.
This can get messy quick because of things like puberty blockers vs actual surgery and things like that.
If you don't have the info already, don't look it up yet, but take a rough guess on how many you would say for blockers and then surgery and then overall population is trans. And we'll go through afterwards.
Is acceptance the same thing as "pushing?" If we didn't beat on left handed kids to use their rights, would it be viewed as pushing left handedness? This is kinda what I view it akin to. I also do think it kinda fits into the "mental illness" bracket as it's fundamentally your brain and body not feeling like they match, right? However I don't think I should be bothered what they undergo to treat it if you view it that way, or make themselves comfortable or just be who they want. I have a trans cousin FTM and tbh she always did strike me as boyish. Pretty much everything about her. How her features were. How she stood and walked. How she acted. Not over the top, just comfortable. I haven't seen him in a long time, but it wasn't super surprising to hear about. Not that I ever explicitly thought that of them though.
I think we also know at this point that it's not gays and trans people in general that are attacking children. Which is part of the fear mongering that's used.

There’s a lot of topics here but the one I’m curious about is that …men are transitioning into women because they failed to live up to the societal expectations of what it means to be a man? Right?
I’ve seen a lot of hypermasculine men transition. Gabbi Tuft former WWE wrestler comes to mind. They were hot af as a man. How do we explain those people? I don’t know their life, it could have stemmed from trauma but they seemed pretty well adjusted as a man-wife, family, career.

Those men who transform themselves as women want to get fucked. My guess is they tired of living as a man and they think living as women would be easy. Even I gotta say some transvestite look cute while some can at least shave their faces if they want to go all the way with it.click to expand

Damn. This is exactly what someone said to me. He has a friend who's now gay?? Or something because he says he knew his friend as a teenager and this friend had posters of hot women on his walls. And me being a doubter,I was like, well he was just suppressing his sexuality by being hyper masculine and super straight (which is a valid gay experience sometimes) .. but his friend was watching straight porn at the time too. So, I don't know, maybe there are a few that go that route too.
Hot take, but I think the most outspoken transgender people in today's society tend to really let their issues overshadow the gender's/sex's rights. Are trans women really understanding or even advocating for born-as-female rights? They may never truly know. I respect their expression though even if they proverbially have grabbed the mic and hogged it to themselves 🙃 sorry, I'm just neglectedclick to expand

Ok so lets talk about policy, I live in California at least for the next 4 months.
Currently in public school, there are laws that prohibit educators from notifying parents if your kid changes their name or pronouns.
All of the High schools in the town that I live have a healthcare clinic inside of the high school, they sign all these kids up for Medical-Cal and now they have free healthcare down the hall from Algebra. and these kids can get any medical care without the knowledge or permission of their parents paid for by the state. Including Hormonal Birth Control, more awesome laws.
You see where this is going? I see where this had good intentions to solve problems, but you are creating more problems. And I just don't think that what the government should be for.
Currently in public school, there are laws that prohibit educators from notifying parents if your kid changes their name or pronouns. ----- yeah this is something that I'm unsure about. To "turn kids in" could hurt them if their parents are those kinds, but also maybe it could cause undue influence to "try it out" tho I'm not really sure, just a personal thought. Ultimately I think it's on the parents to be on top of their childs health though and should know about that kinda stuff going on before school would ever be aware.

Perhaps the movement is for covert depopulation without ripping out the camos.
2. Hormone therapy is essentially sterilization. These people will never experience their own family in its raw form.
This is all promoted and subsidized by your government. And other 'left' leaning admins across Europe etc.
In my opinion, it is all about a religious / world domination shift. Weaken the population, run their house of cards on fumes then finish them off.

I’m really struggling with the how our society combines Transgender issues and polices with Gay issues and polices. So, I would like to talk my thoughts out with anyone willing to discuss this with me respectfully.
I could never really validate the transgender issue, because gender has little value to me. I see gender as a mechanism in the systems of life to keep it advancing.
What we consider male vs female in humanity, mostly has to do with cultural constructs. I will agree most of the time it is just an exaggeration of biology. Women are built with bigger hips, so we walk with a sway naturally, our faces flush during arousal so we put makeup on to mimic those experiences. Which I think really comes down to a matting competition in some ways.
I do believe that masculine and femineity is a spectrum. Some of it is natural based on or biology and some of it is our experience and conditioning. But different cultures have valued different feminine and masculine traits, which become the cultural norm for them.
But for someone to say, I feel like the opposite gender makes no sense to me. I do not “feel” like a woman, I have the body of a woman, I have the cultural experience and conditioning of a woman. But that is all superficial and has little do with how I feel as a human being.
But that’s all gender is to me, the body (genitalia/hormones) and experience/conditioning. So, if a person does not have the body or conditioning of gender, how do they feel that they are that gender?
I agree that we all take on an identity, we create and nurture an ego which is vital to participate in the shared experience in this world. And fuck it if I care what identity you want to take on, and what experiences you want to have while you are on this earth. But I don’t like how some parts of our culture are promoting or encouraging this, because I think this is affecting some of the most vulnerable people.
I do not mean this as an insult, but when I look at the individual Trans experience, it seems to always be a response to trauma, or fetishization.
I see men and women who don’t always fit, the gender roles of the culture, have a lot of negative experiences, and that trauma can result in the rejection of what people see as their deficiency in that gender defined by the culture.
And honestly when I see Transgender women oversexualizing themselves 24/7, I do see it as a fetishization of women, and find it insulting. But I see this more as sexuality vs identity. If that makes sense?
Anyways these are my thoughts when it comes to gender and western culture, I would love a discussion to understand different POV further.

I have nothing to say other than this whole thing 'feels' evil to me and I just don't understand.
(I can't actually believe I'm allowed to see men beat a woman face in on tv and people cheer.)
There are some questionable things that are off about how society (we) deal in 'genders' but in nature, the male has the sperm, the female has the egg. That's it.
When people 'feel' like another sex or are confused with their identity growing up, this stage in development is normal. However this stage in development is being used now to manipulate (both the child and parents) to 'disconnect all' from all natural self including the heart.
So guess what, now people are not making wise decisions and quick to anger because the respect and value to self is now is gone.
What happens when there is no value in what one sees in the mirror? Damage.

As a former high school teacher - I saw and heard some very interesting things going on when the students didn't think I was paying attention. Kids are NOT angels anymore, and if you think yours are: you're in for a shock. There's a reason schools have metal detectors and video cameras EVERYWHERE except the restrooms - and even that could change soon, and probably should.

Yeeeeerrrrp or they'll blame their kids for sinning and tell them that it's a consequence from God. People were fingering/sucking/fucking under the stairwells at my high school. A lotta kids I knew had already had sex in MIDDLE SCHOOL. And I went to a good school! Like there were no daily fights or anything like that. Stuff popped off but it generally wasn't often. People were more likely to come in drunk and off drugs and fuck than fight.click to expand

Personally I don't have a problem educating my child about sex, she's 7 and probably has more knowledge about the subject then most kids in high school.
Honestly sex is so weird in our culture, we still have a lot of puritan values, but also hardcore porn is also apart of mainstream consciousness.
I don't have a good answer on how to address it through education.

I agree with your statement about sex being viewed oddly in our culture lol. It really is.
With regard to Grossman, that's who's claiming the science though, right? And those are her views, allegedly. I say that because y'know, I'm going off of wiki stuff about what she's participated in. Her website is.. interesting. She's also misrepresenting something like puberty blockers having a chance to affect fertility by sensationalizing it saying children are being sterilized. The Cass report does question the efficacy of puberty blockers and hormone therapy early on but does generally say that better training should be adopted, better evidence should be brought forward, working off of high-quality evidence should be encouraged, access to care should be expanded, trans people should participate in studies for long term results and potentially different routes of care, and that everyone should remember to keep the standard of healthcare the same for everyone while still offering personalized approaches and more than that.

This is not hard to understand or for me to agree, hormone blockers are going to retard the puberty process of your body and also your brain. When hormones are basically the magic ingredient that unlocks everything in your body.
We are literally sterilizing ourselves from drinking water out of plastic bottles, because these micro plastic mimic hormones in our body.
Our medical industry is just the next evolution of quackery and snake oil. Our knowledge at this point is so limited we don't even know what the appendix is for. We don't have a full grasp on how our bodies work as it relates to our medical industry.

things such as….
doctors/elites/big pharma trying to get rich off of gender affirming care/procedures on minors, dudes dressed up as women throwing tantrums at restaurants for being called “sir”, mediocre dudes in sports who used to rank 462nd in men’s division now ranking 1st in women’s division, woke teachers irresponsibly telling kids they can be whatever gender they wanna be, people who already had pedophile tendencies now having an excuse to openly assault without much repercussions, the whole they/them nonsense, people identifying as pretty much anything under the sun including animals/objects and trying to drag mentally stable people into it by throwing tantrums when people refuse to participate in their delusions etc
level headed folks of the LGBT community don’t wanna be associated with or lumped together with the above nonsense. 😅 and if we dare to even say anything about it, these wokies will immediately go into victim mode.😅
they make even regular gay dudes like me look like homophobic straight men from the deep south or something 😂

I’m really struggling with the how our society combines Transgender issues and polices with Gay issues and polices. So, I would like to talk my thoughts out with anyone willing to discuss this with me respectfully.
I could never really validate the transgender issue, because gender has little value to me. I see gender as a mechanism in the systems of life to keep it advancing.
What we consider male vs female in humanity, mostly has to do with cultural constructs. I will agree most of the time it is just an exaggeration of biology. Women are built with bigger hips, so we walk with a sway naturally, our faces flush during arousal so we put makeup on to mimic those experiences. Which I think really comes down to a matting competition in some ways.
I do believe that masculine and femineity is a spectrum. Some of it is natural based on or biology and some of it is our experience and conditioning. But different cultures have valued different feminine and masculine traits, which become the cultural norm for them.
But for someone to say, I feel like the opposite gender makes no sense to me. I do not “feel” like a woman, I have the body of a woman, I have the cultural experience and conditioning of a woman. But that is all superficial and has little do with how I feel as a human being.
But that’s all gender is to me, the body (genitalia/hormones) and experience/conditioning. So, if a person does not have the body or conditioning of gender, how do they feel that they are that gender?
I agree that we all take on an identity, we create and nurture an ego which is vital to participate in the shared experience in this world. And fuck it if I care what identity you want to take on, and what experiences you want to have while you are on this earth. But I don’t like how some parts of our culture are promoting or encouraging this, because I think this is affecting some of the most vulnerable people.
I do not mean this as an insult, but when I look at the individual Trans experience, it seems to always be a response to trauma, or fetishization.
I see men and women who don’t always fit, the gender roles of the culture, have a lot of negative experiences, and that trauma can result in the rejection of what people see as their deficiency in that gender defined by the culture.
And honestly when I see Transgender women oversexualizing themselves 24/7, I do see it as a fetishization of women, and find it insulting. But I see this more as sexuality vs identity. If that makes sense?
Anyways these are my thoughts when it comes to gender and western culture, I would love a discussion to understand different POV further.

from the article you posted:
*********On his Fox News program, Tucker Carlson claimed that California teachers are trying to "indoctrinate schoolchildren" about sexual and gender identity. "They're grooming 7-year-olds and talking to 7-year-olds about their sex lives," he said.
On her Fox News show, Laura Ingraham accused the Walt Disney Co. of "pushing a sexual agenda" on children. "This isn't programming. This is propaganda for grooming," she said.
And U.S. Senate candidate J.D. Vance of Ohio defended the term on Fox News, saying, "If you don't want to be called a groomer, don't try to sexualize 6-, 7-year-old children."*********
well, i’m not entirely sure but i’m guessing the teachers who were being accused of these things were caught talking to little kids about gender identity and sexuality and stuff? in that case, i’m sorry but i don’t really blame the parents for being upset. teachers should just teach the regular school curriculum and maybe basic morality and leave gender conversations to the parents. if a kid asks, the teacher can let the parent know first and let the parent decide what they wanna do/what they wanna tell their kids. then all of this might’ve been avoided? :/

I could never really validate the transgender issue, because gender has little value to me. I see gender as a mechanism in the systems of life to keep it advancing.
What we consider male vs female in humanity, mostly has to do with cultural constructs. I will agree most of the time it is just an exaggeration of biology. Women are built with bigger hips, so we walk with a sway naturally, our faces flush during arousal so we put makeup on to mimic those experiences. Which I think really comes down to a matting competition in some ways.
I do believe that masculine and femineity is a spectrum. Some of it is natural based on or biology and some of it is our experience and conditioning. But different cultures have valued different feminine and masculine traits, which become the cultural norm for them.
But for someone to say, I feel like the opposite gender makes no sense to me. I do not “feel” like a woman, I have the body of a woman, I have the cultural experience and conditioning of a woman. But that is all superficial and has little do with how I feel as a human being.
But that’s all gender is to me, the body (genitalia/hormones) and experience/conditioning. So, if a person does not have the body or conditioning of gender, how do they feel that they are that gender?
I agree that we all take on an identity, we create and nurture an ego which is vital to participate in the shared experience in this world. And fuck it if I care what identity you want to take on, and what experiences you want to have while you are on this earth. But I don’t like how some parts of our culture are promoting or encouraging this, because I think this is affecting some of the most vulnerable people.
I do not mean this as an insult, but when I look at the individual Trans experience, it seems to always be a response to trauma, or fetishization.
I see men and women who don’t always fit, the gender roles of the culture, have a lot of negative experiences, and that trauma can result in the rejection of what people see as their deficiency in that gender defined by the culture.
And honestly when I see Transgender women oversexualizing themselves 24/7, I do see it as a fetishization of women, and find it insulting. But I see this more as sexuality vs identity. If that makes sense?
Anyways these are my thoughts when it comes to gender and western culture, I would love a discussion to understand different POV further.
Reading the first page of this thread was gross.
Throught history there have been gay and lesbian people. As well as those who find both attatrctive sexually. It's natural.
I believe this scares some people because weaker people question that possibilty for themselves.
Transgender is even rarer and new. Use to just be cross dressing and the like. Now those who feel strongly enough can transform the external.
The over politicalsization and publicity is blowing this all out of perportion. I personally have met 2 who you wouldn't know unless someone told you. They fit as a woman mind body and soul. Thats a percent of a percent population wise. So why are people losingbthier fucking minds over this. If that rarity is so much a issue go play the lottery every weak. Sometimes it is just mental health, not hurting yourself or others leave them alone.
Kids naturally expertment and explore different things growing up. They are finding themselves. They play pretend as naturally as we breath. What comes natural/fits the indivisual they will keep and will change as they better understand the world and themeelves.
The over dramatization of the topic has opened the door for the young to explore it in unhealthy ways which matches the tone of the discussion.
Really fucking unhealthy, ignorant and toxic.
None of the LGBTQ issues are complex or even complicated. It's a discription of gender and sexuality.
Humans are strange wonderfully complex creatures but.... people are stupid.click to expand

*********On his Fox News program, Tucker Carlson claimed that California teachers are trying to "indoctrinate schoolchildren" about sexual and gender identity. "They're grooming 7-year-olds and talking to 7-year-olds about their sex lives," he said.
On her Fox News show, Laura Ingraham accused the Walt Disney Co. of "pushing a sexual agenda" on children. "This isn't programming. This is propaganda for grooming," she said.
And U.S. Senate candidate J.D. Vance of Ohio defended the term on Fox News, saying, "If you don't want to be called a groomer, don't try to sexualize 6-, 7-year-old children."*********
well, i’m not entirely sure but i’m guessing the teachers who were being accused of these things were caught talking to little kids about gender identity and sexuality and stuff? in that case, i’m sorry but i don’t really blame the parents for being upset. teachers should just teach the regular school curriculum and maybe basic morality and leave gender conversations to the parents. if a kid asks, the teacher can let the parent know first and let the parent decide what they wanna do/what they wanna tell their kids. then all of this might’ve been avoided? :/

I'm not saying her reaction is the best but another person says that everyone is sick of it and if I heard right, that they've called the cops before on him and are doing it/will do it again. It doesn't sound like it's completely unprovoked, though I'm pretty sure a person has a right to do that where they want? Even if it's annoying as fuck.

Okay so like you took the quotes from the article that I posted
"well, i’m not entirely sure but i’m guessing the teachers who were being accused of these things were caught talking to little kids about gender identity and sexuality and stuff?"
This is part of what you posted in response. I linked curriculum, which is subject to local idea of how to do it but the overall is not "sexualizing 7 year olds." It's talking about people in history and their families and stuff. So, there may have been localized issues out there but there is no "sexualizing 7 year olds" in the grand scheme of the curriculum.click to expand

I have a good friend who is a gay conservative. It seems like a lot of gay folks are conservative these days. He's been ran off every Social Media platform. He has had his business almost destroyed. The whole time it's wyts who are telling him how oppressed and hated he is by his tribe, while they attempt to destroy his entire life because of his ttibe. He says being a gay conservative these days must be similar to being a Jew in Hitlers Germany. He's been doxxed, he's had it rough.click to expand

yeah same shit happens to fat kids or kids with disabilities, or any other perceived differences that kids might have.
But I'm not ok, with someone teaching my child that some people are born in the wrong body. Because that is not a fact, and its stupid, and we shouldn't teach children stupid opinions.
You want to say men can have more feminine traits and women can have more masculine traits. I'm cool with that, but it should end there.

the article you showed me says “gay pride video” at least three times near the top 😅
“…a third-grade teacher was removed from her teaching position after facing threats for showing a gay pride video. “
“Gay pride videos shown in a Glendale third-grade classroom have added an intense local chapter to a national debate over how and when lessons on gender identity and sexual orientation should be broached in public schools.”
“The episode unfolded with the disclosure that a teacher at Jefferson Elementary had shown her students gay pride videos…”

neither of us know what the actual “approved” curriculum looked like 😅
anyway 😅
we’re kinda focusing on kids and transitioning right now but i’m sure you know this issue goes way beyond that.
the other issue i have with this movement is :
the blatant lack of concern towards women’s safety.
the blatant lack of respect towards how a lot of women feel. i have many female friends who are not at all happy with what is happening right now.
this movement is conveniently ignoring a huge population of women who are saying they are indeed uncomfortable with sharing a bathroom with men, competing in sports with men who have gone through puberty who are twice their size and have an obvious unfair advantage over them yet the wokies are basically saying to them, “so? too bad.”
they’re basically like, “we don’t care if you feel uncomfortable as long as WE feel comfortable.”
um…i’m sorry but how is that okay?😅
Oh shit missed that, thanks. Okay but that goes to show that they faced proper push back on that and it being age inappropriate. Brother I can go look at what the outline of the curriculum is. No, it's not the same as being in class, but you can read what it's generally supposed to be.

to us dudes, it may just be a “niche” issue but to the women in sports and the families who are rooting for them, it’s not really a “niche” issue. it’s their entire lives probably. so i just hope they take that into consideration when making rules for sports. you know? 🤷♂️
genders were separated in sports because of real differences between man and woman, not the social construct of gender.
click to expand
Hold on. "well what’s wrong with letting men compete in women’s sports? what’s the big deal?” ----- this is not the thought by like literally anyone with half a brain. Which is part of the reason it's a niche issue, there's such a small amount and people generally do not think trans people should be in their identified-sport.
" but they don’t realize that it’s scholarships, educational opportunities, job opportunities, careers, money that you are taking away from biological women who deserve them and who have trained all their lives to get where they’re at. :/" ----- This might be a point. However and I know it's different because we're men, do you ever think about transmen taking opportunity from you? Being in your bathroom, etc? I know that I don't. Maybe it doesn't apply, idk.
"genders were separated in sports because of real differences between man and woman, not the social construct of gender." ----- that's cool and I think most people agree.
Again you're getting more wrapped up in those kinda things when that's not what my issue has ever been.
It's been with people saying they're making the kids gay and trans by teaching them about other people existing.click to expand

I could never really validate the transgender issue, because gender has little value to me. I see gender as a mechanism in the systems of life to keep it advancing.
What we consider male vs female in humanity, mostly has to do with cultural constructs. I will agree most of the time it is just an exaggeration of biology. Women are built with bigger hips, so we walk with a sway naturally, our faces flush during arousal so we put makeup on to mimic those experiences. Which I think really comes down to a matting competition in some ways.
I do believe that masculine and femineity is a spectrum. Some of it is natural based on or biology and some of it is our experience and conditioning. But different cultures have valued different feminine and masculine traits, which become the cultural norm for them.
But for someone to say, I feel like the opposite gender makes no sense to me. I do not “feel” like a woman, I have the body of a woman, I have the cultural experience and conditioning of a woman. But that is all superficial and has little do with how I feel as a human being.
But that’s all gender is to me, the body (genitalia/hormones) and experience/conditioning. So, if a person does not have the body or conditioning of gender, how do they feel that they are that gender?
I agree that we all take on an identity, we create and nurture an ego which is vital to participate in the shared experience in this world. And fuck it if I care what identity you want to take on, and what experiences you want to have while you are on this earth. But I don’t like how some parts of our culture are promoting or encouraging this, because I think this is affecting some of the most vulnerable people.
I do not mean this as an insult, but when I look at the individual Trans experience, it seems to always be a response to trauma, or fetishization.
I see men and women who don’t always fit, the gender roles of the culture, have a lot of negative experiences, and that trauma can result in the rejection of what people see as their deficiency in that gender defined by the culture.
And honestly when I see Transgender women oversexualizing themselves 24/7, I do see it as a fetishization of women, and find it insulting. But I see this more as sexuality vs identity. If that makes sense?
Anyways these are my thoughts when it comes to gender and western culture, I would love a discussion to understand different POV further.
