So the split attraction model is batshit crazy, but essentially who you are attracted to sexually can be different than who you are attracted to romantically. You could be a heterosexual biromantic, or a bisexual heteroromantic. Or any other combination, that makes you feel the most special. I would guess that a straight gay is either heterosexual homoromantic or homosexual heteroromantic.

They create language pretending that it is making things more clear, but it really does the opposite.

Pretty sure I've said this to you before, but you need some straight friends dude.

I think people could just as easily point at the flamboyant gay culture, specifically gay men, as the reason behind the trans and non binary craziness. To be fair its a very small percentage of gay men that turned things like gay pride into the weird kink sex fest they are today. But it definitely isn't straight people in the LGBT communities advocating for gender fluid nonsense.

Differenr identify politics isn't going to fix the issue you are having with a specific type of identity politics. Its all the same shit. Keep blaming heterosexuals and bisexuals all you want, keep getting upset that lesbians supposedly abandoned you, but its not going to help you at all.

I agree with you that gender is the issue , and I think it's slowly getting better. I don't know how old you are, but the way you talk about men being scared of being seen as feminine makes me think you're a baby boomer from a conservative part of North America. I'm a millenial and I'd say the vast majority of my friends, 95 percent, are completely fine with doing whatever traditionally feminine thing you think is so troubling to us.

It also seems to me the trans craze is just as much a gay issue as it is a straight one. Affirmation therapy could legitimately be called a form of gay conversion therapy. Homosexuals are more likely to experience gender dysphoria than heterosexuals are, and the current rhetoric is set up to encourage transitioning at that point.

Men undoubtedly are more violent there is no denying that. The solution to that is something that Peterson talks about quite a bit, socializing boys properly. They need proper outlets to vent and learn how to deal with their aggression, they need rough and tumble play. Young boys crave it, that is why they are pushing, and wrestling with their friends, or playing sports with the full omtemt of winning. But these are things that generally fall into the toxic masculinity and the "boys will be boys" trope. I have two young boys and have had some of their teachers praise their passivity and gentleness in gym class and others bemoan their competitive nature. I have gotten the feeling talking to all my kids teachers that the ideal little boy in elementary school would basically be a sterotypical girl. Of course it doesnt help that their are virtually no male elementary school teachers. It also doesnt help that kids are less active nowadays, both at home and at school.

As for the suicide, yes women attempt more, with less lethal means, and sometimes those are cries for help rather than a suicide attempt. My sister has done so twice, swallow a bunch of pills and then immediately call 911. There are also numerous accidents that men get into that look suspiciously like suicide. I for years tried to think of a way I could do so, make it look like am accident, so my wife could collect on my life insurance so she wouldn't have to worry about finances while raising our kids. But I really dont want to get into whataboutism about depression and suicide because it is shitty all the time and is something a lot of people struggle with regardless of gender.

I more so wanted to point out that a few men's behaviour is not indicative of all men. And I also dont think the solution to men or societies problem is to have men behave more like women. We as a society have work to do to liberate both genders, and I think in general society is choosing to focus on the wrong things.

It also makes sense when you then think about why they work to cancel and shut down people who disagree with them, and also why they are rioting, burning neighborhoods and tearing down statues. They believe the only legitimate way to fight the system is to complete destroy it and rebuild society as their ethno-communist utopia.

I really agree. I am not saying that misandry is more common than misogyny, but misandry is a lot more acceptable to today's society. A lot of it comes in the form of a "you go girl" attitude. But it is quite acceptable in most circumstances to imply that men are dumber than women, or inferior somehow because of "tiny chromasomes". Whereas a man can not even state biological truths without being called sexist.

This all makes perfect sense if you actually think about it. Women and men are different obviously, different interests, different personality traits on average. Of course there are going to be differences in the brain. But if you look at the brain as a whole there will actually be a huge amount of overlap and little difference as well, we are the same species afterall. If you try to say there is no difference between man's brain or a woman's you are like half a step from saying there is no such thing as a woman or a man.

First thing by gender meant sex, there are two genders, two sexes. I feel gender is a better word for describing the relationship to society.

But back to the Trans identified Men, as the OP pointed out it makes sense if you consider the way society treats masculinity and men, and add that to the fact that we have this stupid idea that biological sex doesnt matter in the public discourse and you create a solution for some of these men. It is a flawed and shitty solution, that is damaging all around. And then on top of that you have men with type B personality disorders look at all this and see it as a way to control others.

The only thing I was trying to say is that being a man sucks sometimes. And I dont think the low key or overt man hating that accompanies some schools of feminism does anything positive, and is likely making the situation worse.

[–]latuspod 29 insightful - 2 fun29 insightful - 1 fun30 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

This is basically my opinion as well. I think adults should be free to choose to transition if that is what they determine to be the best for them. However, I feel that due to the fact that most who experience gender dysphoria grow out of it and go on to live happy lives as homosexuals that if society was more accepting of gender nonconformity there would be less people who feel the need to transition, and that would ultimately be ideal. Also by gender I obviously mean the two, male and female, in general all the non binary stuff feels like attention seeking.

Pretty sure it started in Canada. The term is new, came about in the 90's in English and then was translated back into some Native languages. The term is somewhat problematic at times because in a way it homogenizes the different cultures and traditions within different tribes. And Canada atleast was pretty brutal in stamping out Native culture and heritage to the point where it is difficult to recover. Post-colonial theory (also started in Canada) has also made a mess of it all in a different way.

[–]latuspod 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

So I think it would be fair to say that traditional gender roles are conservative in their nature. And I suspect that older transgender experience their gender dysphoria and chose to transition because of their failure to live up to those gender roles. That is not at all the whole story with the trans situation now though. I agree that it isn't a liberal or conservative thing, its a progressive thing that is both very illiberal and not conservative. It is a problem created out of the progressive left, specifically Queer theory, critical theory in general, and postmodernism. Conservatism isn't a boogeyman causing all the problems in the world.

The idea that a person can transition to a different gender or sex is itself progressive. The idea that if a boy likes girly things they might actually be a girl is a progressive idea based on conservative ideas about gender. The idea that a person is free to choose who they are is a liberal one.

I have been thinking about their comment on the harmful side of progressivism in things like eugenics. A lot of people don't look at the eugenics and scientific racism of the 19th and early 20th century as a progressive movement, they label it as right wing politics gone wrong.

Will we see the same thing with the trans movement and the medicalization of kids? I can definitely see all of this woke nonsense being blamed on conservatives in the future.

No I don't mean things like the work place. And I am very against the MRAs and their dumb idea of getting transwomen into women's spaces.

I mean social things, gatherings. Boy scouts is a prominent example.

Things like women being included in country clubs would not be something Im against.

I also should have been a little more careful with my words, there is no feminism in general, it is all over the map. Some forms or ideas are great and others are completely terrible.

I mean look at the type of people who are representing LGBT people in the media. Curious if some of it is due to the prevalence of young people using tiktok for social media, having a video of a self identified queer screaming about people being bigots is a little more offputting than a keyboard warrior on Twitter.

I also think there would be a very different reaction to if questions were asked about LGB seperate from the TQ. I suspect it would be for my kids.

Most people in Canada aren't aware, they generally accept the media spin that being concerned about puberty blockers and hormones means you are a transphobe. They dont get that the ban on conversion therapy actually creates conversion therapy. I think most people just want to be inclusive and have everyone be happy, the media and politicians blatantly lie about the issue though.

However, I would say most of my blue collar friends don't fall for the non sense. I think not going to university is beneficial in that regard.

Rebecca Tuvel, the young US philosophy professor crucified for publishing a paper comparing trans-racial to transgender, is having a Zoom discussion about the controversy -should be VERY interesting (tide turning?) by BEB in LGBDropTheT

Don't think it will be tide turning, here paper was in support of trans-racial right. The ideas are similar though, neither race or gender are actually real (on the assumption that gender is different than biological sex). The whole idea behind either is going to be based on stereotypes and expectations, while simultaneously saying there shouldn't be any stereotypes or expectations.

What's your political alignment? by milknciggies in LGBDropTheT

[–]latuspod 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I like to say I am either a traditional liberal, or practical conservative. A lot of my views are libertarian, id like a small government, but recognize the need for the government to regulate certain areas. Im Canadian, I'd like more power to be given to communities to govern themselves, I'd similarly like provincial government to have more power over themselves and much less at the federal level.

Politically, I believe both liberals and conservatives are important, and dialogue between the two is important, a healthy society would respect the opinions of both sides. Both of the extreme ends are crazy, and I despise the people who work to increase the division between left and right, mainly Trump, and whoever his replacement will be, and the mainstream media. I get tired of people choosing sides because the media says this or Trump says that. An example of this is the current gun control debate, or lockdown procedures, or the Equality act getting pushed through in the states. The media is mostly a mouth piece for gaslighting the general population and manipulating them into supporting a movement.

No, more congressmen were not arrested for sexual assaults in bathrooms than transwomen. by GConly in LGBDropTheT

As someone who has cleaned both, and renovated both as well, mens rooms are also cleaner usually.

I think there are some countries where there are just bathrooms with all stalls without any mens or women's room.

Even if there was some law preventing or forcing people to use this or that bathroom how and when does it get enforced? Who is checking IDs of the people entering the bathroom? Where does someone like Buck Angel go?

Who uses what bathroom is near the very bottom of things that i care about.

Public bathrooms are public, creepy people exist, what bathroom they use doesn't make a bit of difference to me.

A transwoman who reasonably passes should be able to use the women's bathroom if that's where they are most comfortable, or vice versa.

Why is it that we have some radical LGB feminist saying that the TRA are men's right activists and alt right. when the TRA are saying that you guys are men's right activist and alt right? men's right activist don't really give a shit about us. by theapplecivilization in LGBDropTheT

[–]latuspod 11 insightful - 1 fun11 insightful - 0 fun12 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

There are definitely MRAs that are also TRAs. Left leaning MRAs were very against the Vancouver Rape Relief excluding trans women. They saw it as women demonizing men, and making men all out to be inherently violent.

I looked into MRA stuff a few years ago, after watching Red Pill by Cassie Jaye, and seriously contemplating divorce which is extremely prejudiced against men. It was the leftist non sense that turned me away from it. It isn't really one thing there is leftist MRAs and alt-right MRAs, and a small few liberal and rational MRAs. Most vocal MRAs have the same problem as most vocal feminists, they are completely self-absorbed.

Alt-right is mostly used as a scare whistle to discredit whoever you are arguing against.

Are heterosexuals right about us? by exponent2 in LGBDropTheT

[–]latuspod 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

You are putting words into my mouth that I have never said. I never said anything at all about what straight people do is fine and according to nature.

Gender dysphporia is not in my opinion a result of heterosexualism, it is a result of strict gender roles, that is what we should be aiming to change in my opinion. And sure those gender roles are caused in part due to heterosexual being the norm.

As for feminism I think some types of it have the same problem as queer theory and all the other "studies" programs, its critical theory and postmodernism, with a little bit of Marxism thrown in for good measure.

Only one I knew well enough to judge was a co-worker, a transman and I got along with she well. She was pretty down to earth. Though I always felt that her desire to be a man was probably a result of gender norms and growing up in a culture that wasn't friendly towards homosexuals.

I don't think people need to read any of this to believe or think they are true. Critical theory and post modern nonsense has infected liberal arts in universities for a long time, all of the "studies" courses are full of ot, I am taking education courses now and it's quite prevalent but low key. It has been seeping into our culture for years.

And I think that is a direct result of queer theory, and this idea that gender and sex are fluid, and also weirdly a confused idea of strict gender roles.

I agree that straight men identifying as lesbians really are just straight men, I think the problem is the woke idea that everyone's whims and fancies are valid. The whole idea of being validated or being valid is stupid.

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

I agree that ideology can't change peoples sexualities. But a culture that has ideas about sex and gender being fluid and based on feelings will lead to people being confused about who they really are, leading to things like homosexuals thinking they are in the wrong body, and heterosexual identifying as homosexuals of the opposite sex. I don't think ideology is going to change peoples sexualities.

Saying heterosexuality is a thin veneer is silly. You are using an example of a very small number of people, most of whom were never straight. Where are all these straight people with their sexualties breaking apart? Straight people aren't threatened by whatever it is you are calling queer culture. I'll just go on living my normal boring monogamous hetero life.

I don't know that they blame it on you, the gender identity people seem to like their own absurdity.

And perhaps those people who explore in that manner were never actually straight.

You also have the added confusion, coming in a few years, of people raising gender neutral kids. There will probably be an increase in confused hetero and homosexuals. But it has nothing to do with gay people, and everything to do with queer theory and gender identity.

The moment one of my kids says something ridiculous like asking if I am going to rape them would be a breaking point. No TV, video games, cell phone, internet, until they figure it out. I'd hook some therapy with a real therapist. I wouldn't kick them out, because that would feed into the narrative, but if they didn't quit the bullshit I'd be recording every single interaction as a back up.

I'd like to think I am a good enough parent that my kids won't be like this, but my kids are at the age now where I am starting to realize that their friends and peer group have more influence than I do and outbursts like this arent a fair representation of a parents ability.

I've talked to my kids about sex and different sexualities already, I think it's good for kids to know, but it was along the lines of what sex is where babies come from, that some people are gay and there's nothing wrong with that. But none of the the gender ideology crap. Part of the reason I have talked to them about it is I want them to understand before they get a woke teacher for sex ed that starts putting ideas in their head.

I'm not worried about it at all for my kids, he isn't an animesexual it's his classmate he was talking about. I thought Jean Gray from the animated X-men was hot when I was a kid, there is no reason to call that a sexuality.

My son, who is 9, was asking questions about being gay, lesbian, bisexual, I answered, then he told me his classmate is bisexual, alright cool. Then afterwards he said his classmate is animesexual, I asked what that means, he said it means she is only attracted to anime characters and that is really worrying to me.

He was far right from the beginning. He toned it down a bit a few years ago. But back in 2014 he jumped on the gamergate bandwagon with other right wing personalities to push their agenda, which is a main reason why gamergate was shit on so hard by the media and branded as a far right misogynist movement.
