Not really surprising. I take the idea that "I have disphoria but don't want to transition" as the more sane position. Since there are obviously a lot of fairly objective reasons why transition is not desirable, if not only for the main reason that it won't necessarily do anything to help the disphoria.

Pro trans-spaces generally can't be open to that mindset though since you'll have a lot of people very much into the sunk cost mentality of transition or bust with their own misgivings about the process which they bury under a veneer of unceasing positivity about the whole process as being the one and only path towards salvation.

Especially since admitting that fixing disphoria without transition is desirable is tantamount to admitting that it's a mental health issue. Which is of course a general taboo in online LGBTQ circles, partly based on legitimate concerns that society will revert back to the kind of horrific forced treatments that gay people were once subjected to that weren't at all helpful, but partly based on simply an inability to admit to themselves that they might simply not be "normal" and they haven't yet come about to realize that nobody is truly "normal" across the board and it's fine to be abnormal so long as you don't let it be a handicap to your life or to someone else's.

I actually prefer the "I have dysphoria, explored and exhausted my other options, but realize the transition is the best course of action for me" approach. Of course no one wants to actually go through with this. As long as /r/truscum is shunned, no real trans conversations will ever be had and /r/transmaxxing will stay not banned.

Gender dysphoria is a mentall ilness, it actually was called something else but they changed the name so the world doesn't see it as mental illness (showing of real damage of politics interfering with real world medicine 🤦‍♂️). To make our side be the correct one on the culture wars, we should stop calling trans people "mentally ill" and instead call "their mental illness" which refers only to the gender dysphoria. As in "they got a transition to treat their mental illness".

It also makes them not want to treat it, because "identity" is supposed to magically fix everything, and if you don't think so too you're a bigot!

Of course not. You can't question the narrative. The fact that you don't even have to have gender dysphoria now to transition is fucking trananas.

Actually you don't even have to want to transition anymore.

The fact you don't need to have gender dyshoria to transition leads to things such as /r/transmaxxing (A). Did you know? /r/truscum (A) believes you need gender dysphoria to transition. Naturally they got shunned from LGBTQ+ circles.

I'm surprised truscum haven't been banned yet. Transmaxxing not getting banned yet is not surprising though.

they also hooped themselves by basically agreeing with any academese that SOUNDED right that came along, so now the say you don't need dysphoria to be trans, you don't need to transition, you can be genderfluid (which directly contradicts the whole notion of trans)

the only time they ever started to apply basic criticism to all this identity-based spaghetti logic was when the radfems were dethroned 2014, but the criticism was because they were hitting Black men and trans women, not that they were pants-on-head crazy but everyone was too intimidated to even just investigate their basic premises

Truscum still believe you need gender dysphoria.

Surprised that community hasn't been banned from reddit.

Ye of little faith.

Hun, you would be surprised how very masculine looking people transition overtime..Your worry was the same as mine.. but I know now that it IS worth it. it IS worth transitioning because you CAN be who you want to be in time, with patience and some work.

No wonder OP became a "transbian" (lesbian tranny... a biological male that is into women). We live in a world where solutions that don't require such invasive procedures aren't being normalized.

Make femboys great again. (A)

Based on more recent posts, seems to be autistic and suicidal too. All the recent stuff is about that instead of gender nonsense though.

Something not pretty is gonna happen pretty soon...

A lot of people trying to convince him that he'll want to transition eventually.

[–]bucetao6969Ace Spectrum[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

They did. They now go by "transbian" (a MtF "lesbian") flair.

Femboys are overrated I guess.
