Gender ideology. I literally am a mental health treatment provider and work treating sex offenders, yet people around me will silence, cancel, dox, threaten, etc. me for daring to give an opinion that’s not approved by the cult.

What is happening to kids, especially teenager girls, is so disturbing I’m not sure I have words for it.

Speaking out against porn and “sex work.” Again, I literally work in sex offender treatment, I know well the unfortunate outcomes of the extreme availability, but I’ll have teenagers shout me down like some ignorant boomer.

I’ve just decided to ignore them all and I cancelled my damn self off social media.

The left has left women behind and they will really struggle to regain my support unless they course correct, and soon. This forced speech, homophobic, woman hating madness is going to destroy them all.

Feel like elaborating a bit more about that? I've always wanted to know about that straight from the horse's mouth.

It would be a much bigger reply than I’m prepared to do on my phone this morning, but the very short and simplified version is that early (young) porn use, and excessive porn use is correlated with higher rates of sexual offenses, and higher severity of attacks. It further fuels paraphilic disorders as well. It normalizes abuse that traumatizes victims.

That’s not even talking about the ED many young men are dealing with due to porn addictions, or how much they are needing to abuse their partners now to reach orgasm.

I’ll just note from a therapists perspective, if you want to be a happier person in a healthier relationship, quit porn. It’s doing a number on your brain and you likely don’t even realize it. (Not saying you specifically, this is a generality for everyone.) protect your kids from exposure to porn too.

I think I know what's the problem. It's about overstimulation and insensibilization.

Thanks!

You sound like a TERF. Weren't you people 100% in favor of censoring others, right up until the point that others took your ideas and used them against you?

[–]wecandobetter 16 insightful - 3 fun16 insightful - 2 fun17 insightful - 3 fun -  (17 children)

Thought this wasn't a pile on. Liar liar pants on fire?

[–]Chipit[S] 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I said for leftists, not for fascists.

Stopping free speech is not fighting fascism. It IS fascism!

[–]Chipit[S] 1 insightful - 3 fun1 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 3 fun -  (15 children)

Are you a TERF?

Do you support censorship?

TERF: transgender exclusionary radical feminist

To which we would need to further provide definitions for each of those words, though they do not have static definitions.

Using acronyms such as this, are off hand forms of Newspeak. Don't support the use of newspeak by using them in your dialect. It muddies your message, and dumbs down your own thoughts. Speak them out fully, or your message will be lost to those who support short form thinking. Or worse of all, inline with Newspeak, you will say one thing, and all those who read your comments will interpret your statements to support whatever narrative they already assume to be true.

Using these acronyms will literally cause words to lose all meaning.

Thank you for pointing out Chipit's use of Newspeak. I tried to add some complexity to my position, but once people start screeching acronyms, the conversation is generally done.

[–]Questionable 9 insightful - 2 fun9 insightful - 1 fun10 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Don't reply to acronyms, don't use them, don't incorporate them into your dialect. Think out your comments in lieu of acronyms, as though a math equation. Substitute your own words, for the ones without static meaning, and solve for X.

Hint: This level of mental or physical editing is highly difficult to perform on a phone.

it may be done with Chipit, but others here still value your insight.

Yup. TERF all right.

It's not Newspeak. It's a useful phrase that describes an ideology that used to censor others but ironically got censored by the same rules it applied to everyone else.

That's why you're on Saidit in the first place. Try going on to any of your groups, and arguing according to the pyramid of debate, and bam, banned. They learned nothing.

Oooooooh you're mad that the GC subreddit polices content, because otherwise they'd be overrun with geniuses like you going there just to pick fights because it upsets you that they're anti-porn. Got it.

[–]Chipit[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

I would think that being pro-censorship, then being censored yourself by others who use the exact same premises as you, would teach people a lesson about how censorship is wrong. This didn't happen, more's the pity.

[–]wecandobetter 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Hey man. They've already created their own entirely separate website and fucked off to that. Seems like a decent solution all around. You're mostly tilting at windmills now.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 4 fun3 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 4 fun -  (0 children)

Someone has to kill those goddamned windmills.

[–]wecandobetter 11 insightful - 3 fun11 insightful - 2 fun12 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Yes, I am a TERF. And no, I do not support censorship. Edit: Honestly, I'm not really a radical feminist. Or even much of a feminist. I just reject the idea that feelings are a substitute for biology, or that I have to cater to the delusions of mental people to my own disadvantage.

[–]bobbobbybob 11 insightful - 3 fun11 insightful - 2 fun12 insightful - 3 fun -  (4 children)

Yeah, that's an attack there, Chipit. Can you let her speak her truth without attaching unnecessary labels. I'm interested in hearing what she has to say, without judgement.

[–]Chipit[S] 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (3 children)

It's not an attack to point out pro censorship deplorables.

[–]wecandobetter 9 insightful - 3 fun9 insightful - 2 fun10 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

That's rather low on the pyramid of debate. You've made up your entire mind based on an acronym that YOU applied, not I. Anyway it doesn't even make sense. In what was have actual TERFs stifled your unintelligent yet free speech?

[–]Chipit[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Oh, they don't censor anyone's free speech any more - they got censored themselves and had to run to a free speech platform.

[–]wecandobetter 6 insightful - 3 fun6 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Then what are you complaining about? Know what? I've decided you're just no good at debating. Good job screwing up your own decently interesting post.

[–]Madsea 9 insightful - 3 fun9 insightful - 2 fun10 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

You don’t seem very intelligent or interested in a conversation. Men cannot be women. I’m not sure why stating that fact makes it okay for guys like you to lash out at women, but tbh it just shows your own irrationality. Most people know the difference between men and women. Your refusal to acknowledge this is your own issue, not mine.

[–]Bigs 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

But you were silent when they attacked men for decades huh?

[–]Madsea 8 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

In sex offender treatment, men are the attackers. I’m not entirely sure why I’d be silent about that, or in favor of silencing their victims. Perhaps you should elaborate about specifics if you’d like an actual answer.

Also, advocating for women is not man bashing. Women can have things without men being victims. Unless they’re desperate to be victims, I guess.
