Both: In light of recent events. In what context is Voyeurism and Indecent Exposure acceptable? Is there a rational justification for making an exception for males who claim to be women?

If transition treats it, shouldn’t being called a man not be upsetting to you?

I said treat not cure.

…Sure, fair enough

But if you think it’s that deep of an insult, if it upsets you to the core, it just doesn’t seem like you’ve done anything (or enough, to be fair) to work through why you associate “man/men” with what you associate it with. You feel more comfortable in your body and less suicidal/depressed, but you still clearly have deep seated issues somewhere related to sex/gender, just based on your perception of men and women and what types of people each are.

So… does that just not ever get dealt with?

Because any effective- even just competent- treatment (not cure) surely would include unpacking that.

I’ve analyzed it. I’m right. Men are monsters partially socially partially because of testosterone. In a few generations if we stopped teaching men to be animals we might be able to get them to control the awful testosterone driven violence that they are filled with but this generation is already lost. You can’t be safe around these men.

👀

Well alrighty then

Still- if you’re being treated effectively, being called a man shouldn’t have a huge effect on you. Doesn’t matter what the word means, it’s about the fact that it bothers you so deeply, it’s not about the trigger- it’s about being triggered. Obviously nothing was done to help you cope with that, and that seems like it’s pretty necessary

It’s natural to be upset when someone purposefully insults you.

“Man” is not an insult. You’ve made it out to be one in your head.

Which is exactly my point about being “treated” effectively

You have a tendency to answer our questions for us on accident lol

Man is an insult to a trans woman. You are purposefully referring to her as something you know she finds insulting. We have had this conversation.

Exaclty- “man” is an insult to TW. It’s not an insult in and of itself. That’s literally my point.

If you can’t even understand that “man” is not an insult to you- even just that some may use it only because its factually accurate, and you still associate such negativity with the word, you hardly seem to be being treated effectively. It’s a huge sign of on going mental health concerns.

We have had this conversation. Many many times. Because you can’t handle the reality of the word “man” even after being “treated”.

And before you say “words language evolve different meanings set groups lalalala”- Fact is the word bothers you. A lot. So what I’m saying is still relevant even if we account for your colloquial usage of sexed language.

Neutral terms exist so calling trans women men is insulting them with purpose. There’s no dancing around that.
