Transgender Identity Is Associated With Bullying Involvement Among Finnish Adolescents - PubMed by jet199 in TumblrInAction

[–]JulienMayfair [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yes sure, bullying was invented to maintain heteronormativity. THAT'S THE FUCKING CONCLUSION YOU COME TO?

It's back to Foucault and the idea that everyone is a blank slate and would be pansexual and non-binary if not beaten down into submitting to the cis-heteropatriarchy.

You're not alone. I suspect that more people think all the gender stuff is nonsense in private, but they're afraid of the social consequences of being honest. It's a case study in how a relatively small, but very loud minority can leverage apparent compliance with their demands.

It's time to cue up all the woke fantasists who'll claim that prior to the boogeyman of "Western Civilization," human culture was all a great, big gender wonderland where trans people were "shamans" or "priests" or otherwise leaders of the tribe, based on virtually no evidence whatsoever other than having read Rousseau and lived through the Rebirth of Romanticism in the 1990s.

I'm so tired of the cognitive dissonance. Who could look at that face and not instantly think, "Male." It turns out that a friend of mine on Facebook apparently has a daughter who's become a trans man. There was a photo recently mentioning her "son," and I thought, "That doesn't look like a son. Oh . . . " I looked through the photos and thought, "This person is so obviously shaped like a woman from every angle." But we're supposed to act like we're all fooled. Makes my head hurt.

It's also the case that if they speak openly about it, they'll be vilified by Trans Inc. So not only do they have to suffer the consequences, they have to suffer in silence -- or only tell a few people they can trust.

One of our problems is our era's misplaced confidence in the idea that we're so enlightened that we're somehow beyond being caught up in magical/superstitious thinking. The rise of gender identity dogma shows just how wrong that idea is. Human beings are still vulnerable to believing all sorts of crazy shit if it's packaged in the right way.

I know an older transwoman who told me privately that she is de facto asexual due to chronic infection in the surgically-created vagina. She told me she regrets transition, especially the surgery, but is resigned to living with the consequences. And this is someone who did it when there was much more gatekeeping. The medical authorities promoting transition really do not tell people about the long-term outcomes. That's not part of the brochure.

so HR/consultancy grifting/campus administration is their "politics" now--like how you give a toddler a Fisher-Price steering wheel when they're in the car so they can make believe

I agree. It's as if they've reacted to the complexity of the world around them by pretending that their highly-oversimplified concepts about it are reality. I guess Evergreen was the case where it took its most extreme form, where administrators of an already social justice obsessed school were attacked as racist oppressors and transphobes. It showed the danger of producing a generation of political/religious zealots who don't have a particularly firm grasp of reality.

what is it with English profs and radical posturing?

As a former English professor, I can offer some theories. Part of it is compensation for the underlying fact that the study of literature, while important in my opinion, is not really a "revolutionary" activity. Historically, literature has been something consumed, largely, if not wholly, by educated elites. So, as a kind of distraction, academics frequently adopt a posture of radical chic, even though they are, at the same time, deeply invested in an institution that exploits the labor of contract lecturers to give tenured professors more time to write and make secure, six-figure salaries.

Working as a waiter in college, I saw a prominent Marxist scholar treat another waiter like shit. That was an educational moment for me.

Back in the 90s, a friend of mine and I used to talk about how all our colleagues in grad school actually seemed to hate literature. I always thought that these people might better serve their stated purpose in life by going off and being community organizers, but I guess that didn't offer as much job security as it does now when you can know nothing of consequence other than a set of beliefs and get a job as a DEI officer.

I was in academia through ~2010, so I'd present a slightly different narrative. The Oppression Olympics stuff had been gaining speed through the 1990s, mostly in relation to race. At the same time, Queer Theory was on the rise, and one of the victories of Queer Theory was in turning Women's Studies departments into Gender Studies departments nationwide in the 2000s. It was a strange victory because almost no one fought back; Women's Studies simply surrendered, and if any did fight back it was actually the radfems, who were some of the first to sound the alarm. I'd dispute the degree to which the radfems ever had that much control of the academic levers of power compared to the "mainstream" feminists. Then, Tumblr helped disseminate a kind of dumbed-down, incoherent version of academic Gender Theory to mentally-unwell teenagers who took it and ran with it, getting us to where we are today.

The Portlandia skit targets the puritanical uptightness of both feminists and gender crazies, something you could still do in 2012. By 2016, though, gender was becoming more of a sacred cow on the left, and you could no longer laugh about it.

And then, the very feminist bookstore in question closed in 2018. To me, that's somewhat symbolic of the whole feminist project and its purpose, which even self-described feminists could never agree on. The most vicious shouting-match I ever saw in my academic career was between two feminists.

I think it's smart of him to keep his mouth shut and refuse to admit it was a troll. It keeps the people talking about it tying themselves up in knots about it and continues to show how vulnerable a policy of self-ID with no gatekeeping is to abuse.

Actually, it seems you are right. I looked deeper into OP's post history and found one where she's talking about buying a strap-on dick. I think my problem is that I'm part of Gen X, and I can't quite wrap my head around this Gen Z thing of having a relationship that's all about texting and fantasy. I guess OP has been a trans man since she was a teenager since she say she and her gf have known each other since they were teens. And someone gf found out trans man was born a girl.

[–]JulienMayfair 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Take this line:

I was searching for ways to tell my girlfriend that I was different and not a cis man, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Assuming that the gf has seen OP's genitals, gf would definitely know if OP had been born a woman. No phalloplasty is that good. Plus, a trans man would be taking testosterone.

The only way to keep being transgender a secret in an intimate relationship is if you still present as someone whose publicly-known gender matches your biology. Say you're a secret cross-dresser . . .

I think people here are misreading the facts of post. The author is male and has apparently been keeping it a secret from his girlfriend that he thinks he's transgender. It's more revealing to go look at his original post and see how many of them are telling him that it's OK that he concealed this from his gf.

Edit: After looking more into OP's post history, it appears I was wrong, but the fact that it's so hard to tell WTF is going is telling.

I'd go further and say that they do openly embrace the goal of subverting and destabilizing the family. What we have is an educational establishment that has become extremely far-left, and they have a sense of moral superiority that, in their eyes, justifies all that they do. "Parental rights" is about reining them in, although it's going to be very difficult. In some situations, I'd say that everyone involved needs to be fired and new people hired at every level. And it's not just the gender stuff. It's the dumbing-down and relaxation of standards of every kind. It's the tolerance of disciplinary problems.

This reminds me of a show I heard part of on NPR this Friday. It was a slog through the swamp of Gen Z neurosis, going on and on about gender, masculinity, identity, and "the patriarchy." We seem to have taught an entire generation to be self-obsessed and introspective to a degree that's unhealthy. It was like listening to a therapy session with someone who doesn't seem to have any real problems, so they have to make them up.

I think some of these kids need to do some actual physical labor instead of staring at a screen all day.

As a former teacher, I offer this observation: People like freedom, but only to a certain point. People also, generally speaking, want to fit in. They like to be told what's expected of them and to be rewarded for delivering it.

For years, we tried to attack gender roles, but then, seemingly almost overnight, they came back with a vengeance. I can't help but think that it's because conforming to an established gender role gives some sense of stability to people who are looking for some kind of stable reference point for their identity. And I think part of that has to do with the declining role of traditional religion. Gender has become a kind of neo-religion. Compare it to people becoming "born again."

[–]JulienMayfair 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

A couple of thoughts: 1) "Trauma/abuse" is very hard to quantify, and you might argue that no one's life is free of trauma, so how do you determine or quantify the nature and severity of the trauma and then establish a definitive connection to sexual orientation? 2) Lots of children do experience trauma and abuse during childhood, and the majority still turn out heterosexual.

It's one of those arguments that doesn't hold up on any kind of strict scrutiny.

Years ago, I went to a talk by Anne Fausto Sterling where she was arguing the point that there were really "five sexes," an idea I've heard some biologists refute in a way similar to the way you've gone about it. I think her most worthwhile contribution was advocating a "wait and see" approach for the very small number of intersex people who actually have ambiguous genitals at birth -- as opposed to doctors who used to recommend immediate surgery to try to make them appear unambiguously male or female.

But, as you point out, that is a very small number of births.

The First Amendment protects freedom of expression, including the freedom to be a bad influence, so you couldn't -- in the U.S. at least -- charge someone under current law. It's like cults. You can't charge cult leaders with the crime of being a cult leader, because it's not a crime, no matter how much actual damage they do to other people's lives.

Doctors, on the other hand, are bound by professional ethics, the first and foremost of which is the famous, "Do No Harm." If they are harming patients in their care, they should be sued for malpractice. I think I remember hearing recently that in some states, insurance companies providing malpractice insurance for doctors were refusing to insure doctors who practice "gender affirming care." I think the insurance companies see which way this is going.

I know one relatively chill trans person, but most I've known over the years have been pretty odd in one way or another. At best, they are difficult to deal with.

The one that peaked me was someone I worked with one evening doing poll greeting at an election site. This was a large man in an ill-fitting dress with a bad wig on. I was dressed professionally, trying to make my best impression on potential voters. He would loom over them and was obviously making people uncomfortable. In-between handing out voter materials, he talked about his various mental illnesses. He probably did our party more harm than good. There was NOTHING about this person that was remotely feminine, not the way he looked, not the way he talked, not his body language. I walked away thinking, "Why would anyone take this remotely seriously?" That led me to the Gender Critical subreddit and, eventually, here.

The phenomenon used to be known as "teflon trans," the idea that because they're so oppressed they can't be held responsible for anything they do. Nothing sticks. That's why the T were so paralyzed when it came to the Jonathan/Jessica Yaniv situation. And it happens every time a trans person is arrested. They focus on "misgendering" in any news coverage, like the couple of shooters we've had over the last couple of years.

It's the TQ+'s way of denying their responsibility for provoking the current backlash and trying to make us forget that things were going well for us before they rolled out all the gender demands.

Reminds me of former friends of mine with addiction problems who constantly blamed all their problems on someone else. It was never their fault, and they'd never take responsibility for the consequences of their actions. And they constantly use all their friends to try to bail them out of their latest fuckup.

South Carolina Trans Teen Killed; Man He (no, SHE) Met for Date Charged With Murder by Chunkeeguy in LGBDropTheT

Journalism is not in a good place these days, to put it mildly, so you're going to get a lot of low-effort reporting and clickbait. Some facts might emerge in the trial of the killer, especially if his girlfriend agrees to testify against him in exchange for leniency. Also, any digital communication between the killer and the victim might come to light in court. You just have to wait.

My classic example of this is the Duke Lacrosse case back in 2006. A black woman accused white athletes of sexual assault, and everyone piled on with the perceived underdog against the privileged athletes. But then, as the case progressed, it all fell apart. It turned out the accuser had lied, and, even more, the district attorney prosecuting the case was eventually himself charged with criminal misconduct for attempting to suppress evidence and disbarred. The accuser later went on to kill her boyfriend.

Whenever I feel like jumping to a conclusion on minimal evidence because it fits some narrative, I take a step back and remind myself not to get ahead of the facts.

All your points are valid in the abstract, but we really don't know for sure that that's what happened here. We have no idea what transpired between the victim and the killer. We don't know their specific motivations. I just don't like the idea of jumping to conclusions without knowing for sure or of co-opting someone's murder to make a point.

I looked it up in other news outlets, and they're all saying that it does not appear to have been a hate crime. In fact, most mainstream new sources are reporting that a 'woman' was murdered. A couple mention that she was in the process of transitioning.

I'm not really sure why this article is posted here. A trans man met a man online, and he turned out to be a murderer. Who knows? Maybe it wasn't his first murder. It could happen to anyone getting into a car with someone they don't really know.

In every medical situation I've been in over the last several years, you have to fill out endless forms that include all the basic stuff like your sex. Some may ask for your gender identity. For a nine year-old, you'd think the parents would have already filled that stuff out. Why would a doctor be double-checking that during an appointment?

Funny how I lived through most of the 80s, 90s, and 00s without running into many trans people involved in gay activism. Actually, for the 80s, the count would be zero.

But I suppose that youngsters like this one just believe what they've been told by other TRAs.

And, for that matter, most LGB goals of the time were also of benefit to trans people, like getting rid of sodomy laws, so if trans people were involved, it's not it was some sort of selfless effort.

We funded the successful intervention against the Keira Bell decision and we funded the successful AB case which established that parents could consent to puberty blockers for their children.

And it looks like they may appeal this decision in the LGB Alliance case.

This shouldn't surprise anyone. Admissions departments at UC campuses have been investigated for continuing secretly to practice race-based affirmative action after Prop 209 banned it. They would use indications of an applicant's race to help certain applications even though it was against official policy. Can you imagine true believers in wokeness doing anything different? Would you trust them at all NOT to practice secret race-based affirmative action?

Even critics of Crenshaw have given her credit for pointing out that a company could have policies designed to help women and policies designed to help blacks that could be implemented as designed without helping black women. She wasn't wrong. The problem was when the model of intersectionality was expanded far beyond its original application.

It's like the concept of safe spaces. The idea of a safe space was originally conceived as a way for college professors to let gay or lesbian students know that it was "safe" to talk to them in their office about issues they were facing, back before campuses had other resources for these students. In the 1990s, it made sense. You could get a "Safe Space" sticker for your office. Then it was expanded to the classroom and eventually to the entire campus as the idea that no one in an "oppressed group" should ever be exposed to an idea they don't want to hear. And people can go into hysterics and claim that the mere presence of someone who holds opinions they don't like makes them "unsafe." It's a complete perversion of the original intent.

What you have to realize at this point is that none of this rhetoric is rational. It's all intended to keep the forces riled up and stoke the fires of hysteria. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a very good way to respond to it. Because it's not rational, you can't reason with people in the grip of this mindset. What you can do is speak to people who have not yet fallen into the hysteria.

These posts also serve to distract from the stupid things that "we've" done like the wedding cake case. No one needed to bring a discrimination case against a religious baker who didn't want to bake a gay wedding cake. It was petty and vindictive. And it made us all look bad.

A discrimination test case like that should have been reserved for something serious, something most people could sympathize with, like something that threatened someone's housing, job, or medical care.

The gender theorists are now all over divinity schools, aided by the fact that the Bible doesn't really have a lot to say about it since most of it was made up in the last century. Oh, I know there are things in it about cross-dressing, but that's not quite the same thing as claiming you have some kind of female soul trapped in man's body or vice-versa.
