I agree, I just don’t think transgenderism is going to stop because we think it’s harmful. It’s already been made to a diagnosis with a treatment, so the best we can do is find better treatments and try to find ways to really narrow down who is most likely to be okay as trans and who is going to be worse off after doing it.

Unfortunately we live in a society where it is acceptable, even encouraged, for people to cosmetically modify themselves in many ways, especially women. Fake breasts, fake asses, fake abs, fake lips, sex dolls, pantomimed pleasure for public enjoyment, buying bodies for sex, porn. Not living in a real body, with real feelings, in a real world, has been happening for a long time. All of this shit overlaps. Social media has made it much worse because lives are flattened and curated and ppl are living in their heads. That is extreme dissociation with reality. All of it.

All of this stuff is a natural extension of living increasingly unnatural lives. Harmful ideas are all around us. If we want to stop this we have to stop coveting fake bodies and fake roles and get out and take a walk outside.

Your comment is bang on. Absolutely knocks it out of the park. I would add no real thinking and no real dialogue to "not living in a real body with real feelings". What you write stands on its own but I do think the ability to think critically without ideological supports has gone by the wayside. Anyway I'm a straight lurker and am hoping you might make this an OP in Gender Critical as it introduces the idea that the trans phenom is a consequence of a widespread societal mindset that has embraced fakeness

Thank you. We are all so removed from nature. Our feet don’t even touch the earth. What kind of animal is so removed from nature? Kids are growing up behind screens, floors and floors above the earth, in many cases. That’s captivity. It makes animals sick. We are the “sick animal.” Some philosopher said that and it’s been in my head for years. I think people are trying so hard to connect, trans people just happen to be using some of the most harmful methods. The further we get from our bodies the sicker we are going to become. a beautiful facade is still a facade.
