They aren't trying to dominate you, they just want to live their lives. Making them out to be a threat helps no one but your paranoid delusions
They "just want to live their lives" in a way that forces societal upheaval, demands I participate in their delusion, and penalizes me when I opt to remain tethered to reality. I've been banned from multiple message boards that I had decades old accounts on, in great standing, because I refused to refer to troons as women.
I'll never cosign predatory men as having a right to invade women's spaces. What I am saying is the most basic truth about our species, which must be recognized to safeguard women, and I'm removed from social discourse if I don't play ball and lie about it.
They aren't
trying to dominate, they
are, and they're not just a
threat, but a real, actualized harm. These aren't paranoid delusions when boys dominate girl's sports, male rapists are in women's prisons, and troons purity test every group to oust the dissenters for wrongspeak. The idea of "trans" has threatened the foundation of our society because we're replacing objective truth with subjective feeling, i.e., fucking
nothing.
Misgendering someone is a form of harassment, regardless of what you might think about it
This is the type of heavy-handed, authoritarian ruling that I'm speaking out against. "Misgendering" is a linguistic sleight-of-hand to shame people for correctly stating one's sex, i.e., speaking the truth. I'd encourage you to reconsider whether your statement above is true and also if your stance is reasonable.
For example, ftms are always seen as much less threatening than cis men within the friend groups I'm in. I would say that it might be because women are stereotypically seen as that, but I'm not sure.
It's because they need to lie to pretend there's an actual difference between "cis men" (not a real thing) and "trans-women" (not a real thing). It distracts you with language so you don't realize you're talking about the same group. Well, the same meaning they're both men, so neither should be in women's spaces. But "trans-women" are actually in prison for sex crimes at a
much higher rate than regular male prisoners. The men who won't respect women's boundaries are
more dangerous to women, not less.
I also disagree with other posts here, I do think trans people improve emotionally from transitioning at least from what my trans friends have told me
But they haven't "transitioned" to anything. They're simply men who've gotten what they want. A girl begrudgingly doing anal might improve her boyfriend's mood, but he's still a POS if he coerces her into it when she doesn't like it. Rewarding people with harmful shit can often improve them emotionally, but it's not ethical.
I also don't care if they'd all off themselves
without access to women's spaces. It's not on women to give up their rights to men, nor on society to become a doormat for narcissistic men. For confused younger people, I have much more empathy and understanding.
I don't want a world of "Trans equality," I want a world that realizes mental health is important and that transing out is often a form of self harm and a sunk cost fallacy wrapped into one. I want a world that helps people come to terms with how things actually are, and lets people make the most of it. I want a world where my friend's friend never killed themselves, but got the help they needed.
Agreed. We all want this on the Farms. This is why it's frustrating for us hearing accusations of "misgendering" and tales of how "transitioning" helped someone. Nobody has been "misgendered" and no "transition" has occurred. By using their language, we're forced to legitimize nonsense and argue from a position we
know we aren't at. When we're forced to play by the anti-reality rules that treat make-believe as indelible truth, we can't reach the world that actually provides help.
It doesn't matter if you feel like shit, as long as others feel happy around you. This is called being a good person
No, this is how you wind up becoming a doormat. Good people get taken advantage of all the time. And recognizing when a situation is unfair for you is a great skill to develop. What if you heard someone tell your friend, "It doesn't matter if you feel like shit as long as I'm happy." I doubt you'd think that's okay, dude. It's not okay for you, either. And good friends would be mortified to hear you'd been enduring pain for their comfort. Only toxic abusers would enjoy that revelation.
Please don't condition yourself to believe its your responsibility to endure hardship so others can be happy. I promise, you will have a very miserable existence if you learn to set yourself on fire to keep others warm.
I can think normally and be able to participate in society as a functional human being that respects everyone like I'm supposed to.
You
aren't supposed to respect everyone, though. While humans naturally prioritize social cohesion and conflict avoidance (women especially), these are tools that can be massively exploited by bad actors. "Trans" ideology is the worst actor of all. Not only is it foundational on lying about what's
right in front of you, it tells you that you're a disrespectful, evil monster for prioritizing truth.
You
know it's not true when a man says he's a woman. You
know they're lying. Be honest with yourself: is someone who pressures you to lie about something showing you respect? No. And I don't find it respectful to lie to others, either. They can put lots of pressure on you, ostracize you, and call you bigoted and cruel. They'll even emotionally blackmail you, using tragedies like suicide to control your speech and behavior. These people are
evil. Do not let them divorce you from recognizing what is true and openly stating it.
As opposed to letting them live on with untreatable gender dysphoria?!
This is a great example of why we hate this ideology-it's built on a foundation of lies! It takes advantage of our natural empathy and kindness by emotional manipulation. "If you affirm them as their 'true' gender, you'll make a world of difference." So how could we not?
Reality: the diagnosis of "gender dysphoria" quite literally
is what causes the harm. Did you know they actually discovered a treatment with upwards of an 80-90% success rate? No shit, they've replicated these findings across a dozen studies with different demographics by unaffiliated researchers. But they never, ever tell the public about this. Do you know what it is?
GOING THROUGH THEIR NATURAL PUBERTY! Gender-related distress will alleviate for around 80% of pre-teen children once they become teenagers
Many Farmers started off respecting pronouns, giving up a bit of comfort to help those in need, etc. We now see this ideology for what it is and refuse to play. Their manipulation knows no end and you'll always be forced to keep walking on egg shells, morphing to fit their next unreasonable demand. You are not the weird one for noticing. And you aren't a dick head for adhering to reality. You are sane and rational.
