https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/14/health/puberty-blockers-transgender.html This is a New York Times article from maybe a year ago? It does a good job of being balanced and describing all the current concerns and also when there has been positive findings.
You have an issue with something irrelevant. You need some level of outside hot of awareness and I'm here for it. Your obsession with this topic is approaching ATW levels. What is your social media news feeds looking like! Not a single trans individual has made life worse for women in some systemic manner. It's a made up issue in your head spoon fed to you by people with bad faith intentions. And what is a theory? It's a natural observation of how social systems work. People at the top don't want people beneath them to organize together. This isn't some theory. These aren't natural motivations lining up together. There is no coordinated conspiracy. It's natural.
Issues that don't exist. Pandering 101 No, doctors aren't confused on how to treat patients because of trangenderism.
Sometimes you say the darndest things, and I can't tell whether you're bullshiting or for real. You come from a South Asian background that prizes males, a Muslim one to boot. Even if you presently reject its norms and customs, can you say with a straight face that you never took part in their expectations and behaviors of Maleness throughout your life? Maybe in the future you'll regale us with a manifesto of being the fifth incarnate of Karl Marx, enlightened and wisened at birth. However, I'm guessing that your parents were once proud that you had a penis, but are now confused at your rejection of its inherent privilege with it being a shackle and wedge of the proletariat.
I personally don't know any trans people, I have been to drag shows and I had a blast, no one tried to turn me LOL. I think there is quite a bit of fear mongering regarding this subject and the typical folks who have homophobic issues decry how the LGBTQ+ is a threat to them when in reality it's such a small % of the population. I don't care what you are, live your best life and its none of my business what you do as long as were not breaking any laws. The one thing I will weigh in on is Sport, I don't think a biological man/woman should cross over to the other side to play, it doesn't seem fair to me to have a biological male crossover to a female sport, to be fair I haven't read anything about it but on the surface, I don't agree with that. GOD forbid a bunch of rednecks freak out when they see a dude dressed a s a girl, the first few times I saw it I had to do a double take but then it was no big deal, you do you and I will do me, we can all coexist. When I talk to my nieces who are in their early 20`s and its literally not even a thing with them, there generation seems to embrace being different and they can't understand what all the fuss is about. My heyday's were the 80`s so my generation was not as forgiving but I think I have come around and so have "most" of my friends, but we still have some that view "different" as evil and they will never change...............kind of like Tucker C who has to spout fear mongering to rile up those folks who can't see past the nonsense
How has lashing our at people who don't pose a threat but different from your idea of normal helped you in recent elections?
in this instance, a definite threat we can help the mentally deranged, but enabling their delusions is not good for anyone
That fat dude is a sorority with teenager girls and whacking off Yeah I’m completely for the girls to kick him in his balls hard @AroundTheWorld sooner or later a revolt will happen cause obvious is obvious
He is a good person from my interactions over the last decade plus. He has had to deal with a lot of **** in his life. Having said that, he has a real blindness when it comes to male entitlement, and doesn’t seem to really understand it. My guess is some day he will view it differently. I have no ill will towards him and agree with him on many things. This just happens to be something we do not agree on.
If we are talking about the same guy (I have him on ignore), I agree. He is a real weirdo, really lost, wrong on pretty much everything, but there is a good core somewhere there, so I pretty much give him a pass on whatever.
He has the same rights as every dude in America And no girls would want him on their swim team or sorority I would hope
Do you actually read anything I type? You are making a claim that I'm denying the concept of male privilege. You are asking me shocked and chagrined about how I can deny male privilege when I experienced it in a Southern Asian culture(kinda implying your "culture" is superior and that I'm not part of the American culture).... Ya dude I did experience it. I've benefited from male privilege plenty. So it's obvious you are not in good faith addressing anything I've actually typed. I stated that a 12 year old with gender dimorphism who was born a boy but thinks he/she is a girl is not the type of individual who experiences nale privilege. Those type of kids remove themselves from any social hierarchy in their school. They are the kids who sit by themselves in the cafeteria. They are the kids who the teacher forces a group of friends in a group project to accept in their group for the project. They aren't really experiencing any privileges of a male dominated society. What a dumbass post honestly. I read it again thinking you posted this with good intentions but with these type of assumptions you've made about my parents thoughts on my penis? What the **** is wrong with you? You had these absurd thoughts just because I thought a young adolescent who has gender dismorphia is probably the type of kids who isn't experiencing any type of "male privilege".
I don't think I've been through much more than any other regular dude. I'm not a mentally damaged person. You and I just disagree on some things. I don't think I have a blind spot to male privilege I think you have a blind spot to bad faith actors using divide and conquer tactics that right wing traditionalists have used for over a century. Make oppressed groups oppose each other. It's a tried and true tactic of right wing organizations and governments.
Nah, I'm not implying that. We live in a male centric society, and Asian cultures are more upfront about it than others. My parents' culture is also like that, so your assumption is off the mark. You also wrote this: Not once have you expanded further on the idea that infants and children under the age of puberty are greatly impacted by male privilege. You have only stated it as a matter of fact. Hence why it sounds very virtue signally. There is no substance behind the claim. I assume you don't have sisters or female cousins that took a lot of crap for things out of their control. There plenty of research and studies with implicit bias observing how elementary school teachers would spend more time on the boys to help them in subjects "they typically excel". So it sounded like a weird premise you made just for the sake of arguing. The issue is that you're painting a limited scope upon trans kids. It doesn't matter whether they "buy into" social norms/contracts. Society implicitly decided for them, and that's largely where issues arise from their disphoria. When parents expect their infant/toddler/kid to perform gender norms, they might not do it explicitly at first (before the child's signs or their own denial manifest). It's baked in and has nothing to do with your claims about their place in the "social heirarchy." I'm curious what you think the argument over White Privilege is about, and whether a white person can opt in/out of it? When people like Lia Thomas or Rachel Dolezai use the system to their favor though their privilege that they superficially discarded, it ultimately opens discussion beyond the folks at the edge of the bell curve and the cases where grey areas doesn't fit the textbook definition. To me, it seemed like they knew to what extent they could opt back in, so it was behavior they learned while growing up. And no, I'm not saying the teens who self-isolate carry any of those intentions, rather they still understand what they were leaving in the first place when making that decision. It's that point where trans kids decide whether they can conform or reject the norms entirely, but it doesn't denote any lessor meaning for the trans kids who do conform. Having said all that, I apologize for bringing in your parents to prove a point. I didn't have to go that far, and you didn't deserve it.
I don't think I've been through much more than any other regular dude. I'm not a mentally damaged person. You and I just disagree on some things. I don't think I have a blind spot to make privilege I think you have a blind spot to bad faith actors using divide and conquer tactics that right wing traditionalists have used for over a century. Make oppressed groups oppose each other. It's a tried and true tactic of right wing organizations and governments. Lia Thomas and Rachel Dolozar... There is no effective tangible systemic means in which trans individuals harm women's rights or women's access to power and success. It's a non existent thing besides onesies and twoises examples. Male privilege being a talking point to drag down trans people to me is absurd. It's a talking point that has no effective means to effect lives in a systemic way that is in any form meaningful. White privilege mainly comes from wealth and appearance. Being a tall fit white male with good posture and projection in your voice will get you access to things that others don't have access to. It's why most grifters are tall white males who can project their voice and assert their "male dominance". Those aren't traits trans women express even before their transition. They aren't given access to power and privilege that your typical confident fit male does.
