I am so happy this sub exists. It feels like this is the only place i find sensible people.

The antidote to all of it is reason. The insanity & hypocrisy of the TRA simply cannot sustain itself.

If you're a man who wants to pretend he's a woman, great. Good for you.

If you're a woman who finds comfort in chopping your bits off and taking hormones, congrats.

Just keep your crazy contagious ideas away from the kids, and stop insisting that the rest of us play along as extras in your little role playing exercises. You can't force anyone to see you in the way you prefer. You can't expect validation from strangers in your personal outdoor fetish display.

So take your militant demands for pronouns and sod right off. Thanks.

These people have zero awareness or appreciation for irony. "Trans the gay away" (or death) is the answer for many repressive regimes around the world.

JoeyJoeJoe

The mental acrobatics required to keep track of who and what is going on is rather taxing! What a vortex of role-playing bullshit.

JoeyJoeJoe

Not feeling valid is totally valid.

Being invalid is also a valid option.

Face reality & enjoy.

I would not give any weight to statistics gathered from an echo chamber like reddit.

Starting a relationship based on language orthodoxy & lies about biology doesn't seem very smart either.

JoeyJoeJoe

I campaigned hard for marriage equality, as I was personally invested in the outcome and feeling equal.

At this point, I would trade this hard-won civil rights advancement if it puts this crazy trans genie back in the bottle.

JoeyJoeJoe

If we could reason with TRA's, there wouldn't be any.

JoeyJoeJoe

We might assume this is a financial decision. Once the gay guys wake up and smell the neovagina there'll be a massive pushback.

JoeyJoeJoe

Someone is funding this shit. Dark money is coming from somewhere to push TRA doublethink into the mainstream. This is not organic.

JoeyJoeJoe

The more scrutiny one applies to trans-logic, the less reason there is to believe that "trans" is anything other than a narcissistic role playing exercise.

JoeyJoeJoe

Hence the "new" lgbt flag, with the giant invasion arrow, using false equivalence to hijack the issues of racism to smuggle in gender fetishes as some kind of oppressed community. That flag makes me so mad.

JoeyJoeJoe

Bravo! More please!

JoeyJoeJoe

I refuse to be polite on this subject now. Dr John Money, Jamie Shupe... These are names I will drop into any conversation that fawns over trans cult nonsense.

My initial "play along, be polite" capacity has been exhausted.

JoeyJoeJoe

This is a war founded in language, an attempt to subvert reality, a war for our minds.

The headline still worked in the favour of the TRA... this isn't about "trans rights". They already have full rights as citizens. This is about erasing women and pathologising kids who aren't gender stereotypical. Don't let them get away with these subtle word switches.

JoeyJoeJoe

Virtue signalling really seems like a harmful affliction at this point.

"Reason be damned, I just want internet points!"

JoeyJoeJoe

Zero time for these people. Pronouns in your bio? Won't be hiring you, or relaxing anywhere in your company. Over this shit.

JoeyJoeJoe

I would be very surprised for any of these mind-bending TRA absurdities to stand on their own in real life. No genuine conversation could possibly arrive at the insane conclusions they seem to demand.

Without Twitter, without Reddit, this whole toxic circus could never sustain itself. Surely?

JoeyJoeJoe

I personally managed to change the policy for an industry online gathering by simply sending a DM to the organiser asking for pronouns to be made optional, as "not everyone is comfortable with that". One message, asteroid nudged to a new trajectory. Be proactive. Be early.

JoeyJoeJoe

Whatever happened to the wisdom of "know thyself"... Or even the pop psych notion of just "be yourself"?

There's a pandemic of delusion and it has a cheer squad.

JoeyJoeJoe

This will either be made illegal soon and we might salvage some shreads of civilisation, or this will help trigger the next puritanical purge.

Hide your rainbows, shit's gonna get medieval.
