We've sort of bifurcated sex into two different things. There's the physical and biological component (i.e. sex) and the social and psychological component (i.e. gender). I've often wondered why sex is the only thing we're allowed to do this to.

Race is no different. Race has a physical and biological component, but there's also a social component. It gets into the same thing of how people perceive you vs. how you want people to perceive you.

Different races also have different cultural and performative characteristics, like with gender.

To pick sex as the only thing that people can sort of deny the physical component in favor of the psychological/social component never made sense to me.

Who's going to tell them that trans and non-binary stop existing once we get rid of gender?

Let me play this out for the next 25-50 years. We went from sex and gender are the same thing (i.e. your physical sex characteristics), to gender and sex are different, to gender trumps sex, to gender no longer exists, which will leave us - invariably - with nothing but our sexed bodies, i.e. where we fucking started!

You could take essentially any physical characteristic and try to bifurcate the physical reality and the psychology around the physical reality and do the same thing that trans people do. Utilize language to obfuscate our understanding of and ability to discuss the material reality and you'll be following the same playbook.

Do we need any more proof that all of these modern day "queer" identities are an exercise in virtue signaling and self-righteousness and NOT the manifestation of any innate sexual orientation? Any legitimate "asexual" would be appalled at the idea of an asexual who likes sex. This is just a way for left-leaning people to feel progressive while also commodifying a sense of victimhood, which has become increasingly valuable over the last 10 years.

I think it's an idiotic word. It doesn't have any tangible meaning, and it's usually used by straight liberals who want to look woke and oppressed without having to actually do or say anything differently from a "non-queer" straight person.

That said I don't think it's offensive. It's just an idiotic word used by idiotic people.

I agree. I do think we're playing fast and loose with people's mental health because doctors want to feel and be seen as saviors. And frankly, as someone who's always been a little GNC, if I were a teenager in this day and age, and if my friends were coming out as trans or non-binary, I probably would too.

I think a lot of it is people, mainly teenagers, who hate themselves and are allured by the idea of a) blaming all their woes on gender dysphoria / transphobia and not these things that are more abstract and intangible like poor socialization, social anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, etc. and b) allured by the idea of reinventing themselves. '

They think they hate themselves because they're trans. But I think they hate themselves for some of those reasons I mentioned. There's no other explanation in my mind for why the most common onset on gender dysphoria has shifted towards adolescence.

On top of this they get what appears to be an affirming, embracing community (i.e. the T community and LGBTQ community more broadly) of people who will approve of them instantly.

This is the most significant - and brilliant - backlash against gender ideology and trans rhetoric that we've had in a long time. Perfectly exposes so many insidious TRA practices - practices that have severely undermined what it means to be LGBT. The idea that all identities are valid, the policing of language, to flip the script on them and use the same tactics against them is just beautiful. Too bad many TRAs seem too naive or narcissistic to realize this is 99% satire mocking their own insidious habits.

And I think a lot of true blue LGB people support this because then they can point around and say "look at how many LGBTQ people there are in the world!" of course when you expand the definition of queer to include pretty much anyone and everyone who wants to be included, it's a pretty easy thing to do.

but i think LGB people don't fight back against this ever expanding definition of "queer" because they're too swept up in the ideological battle of us vs. them, liberals vs. conservatives and if they can look around and point to all these millions of examples of "LGBTQ" people, then it bolsters support for the left and leftwing ideology and appears to legitimize the LGBTQ community as a whole. Even though all we're doing is just undermining the parameters around what being LGBT even means to the point where - again - it includes almost anyone who wishes to opt into the identity.

they just want to look and feel super 100% aCcEpTing (and therefore NOT conservative in the slightest!) even to the point of eroding what it means to be LGBT in the first place

Ugh. Something liberals are uniquely guilty of - certainly more so than conservatives - is this employment and manipulation of language to covey a certain morality. It's designed to prod those who are uninformed or ambivalent about the topic, or to nudge those who might fall on the right or center-right on a certain position. TERF, marriage equality, gender affirmation to me are such grossly subjective terms that liberals shoehorn in the discourse as the natural and objective, even correct way of describing these things.

The notion that "TERFs" are radical is debatable. The notion that same-sex marriage is a necessary part of equality is debatable. And what well-intentioned human WOULDN'T want to affirm another person? But to force these terms in the discourse as the true nomenclature is a manipulative albeit effective tactic employed by the Left.

Whenever I hear about a celebrity cancellation, I've taken to Google recently just to see if searching the celeb's name generates any major headlines about the "incident." The outcome of that experiment shapes my understanding of whether the cancellation is as widespread as it seems, or whether it's localized to a few activists on Twitter. Luckily there's nothing about Miley Cyrus being "cancelled" on Google right now. (Sia's cancellation, by comparison, was heavily covered by publications.)

It's often not even about "trans women" doing the assaults. It's about letting predatory men into women's spaces - many of whom are cis. Once we get into the territory of gender neutral restrooms/locker rooms, or we get into self ID, then quite literally any man can walk into a women's bathroom and no one will be able to argue that he doesn't belong there. It has nothing to do with transitioning.

If bodies aren't inherently gendered, then there's no reason to pursue any sort of medical transition, neither bottom surgery nor HRT. It's a major logical consistency that I've rarely seen challenged much less reconciled. It's an example of the broader logical inconsistency of "gender is made up/oppressive/a social construct and should be eradicated" and also "it's very important for people to alter their bodies to coincide with their gender."

It's frightening how the culture today allows such misinformation to spread. And there's almost no room to set the record straight because it will be viewed as bigoted towards a certain group, even if you're unequivocally correct.

And this is why I'm skeptical of some nonprofits - like the HRC - whose funding relies on constantly drumming up panic around a social problem that is largely dissipating (anti-LGBT discrimination). It allows dishonesty to flourish.

I absolutely loathe this line of thinking. Yes, gay people were oppressed, rejected, and marginalized. That doesn't mean we need to turn around and accept absolutely everyone into the LGBT community. We still need to draw a line somewhere. And besides, this isn't even a conversation on accepting people into the LGBT community - it's a conversation on who we should be open to fucking. So we shouldn't have genital preferences because gay people were rejected? Come on. Horrifying logic.

There's also a lot of misinformation about the extent to which bottom surgery emulates "real" genitals. A trans man most certainly cannot get a real erection (i.e. a natural reaction to physical/visual stimuli). As I understand, many phallo surgeries do not include any way to have the "penis" stand erect. If it does, one option is either a flexible metal rod that the trans man can "stand up." And the other is a pump that lives in the "scrotum" that the trans man squeezes.

Also, of course, no way to ejaculate. And, let's be frank, a pleasant part of sex for many people is making their partner orgasm.

37 trans/GNC people murdered. Let's say that 0.5% of the American population is trans/GNC. So that's about 1,640,000 trans/GNC people. 37 of 1,640,000 is 2.26 murders per 100,000. That statistic for the general American population is 5.0 per 100,000. So you're actually less likely to be murdered if you're trans/GNC. And that gap is far too large to be due to any significant "under-reporting" of trans/GNC homicides. That would imply that trans homicides are only correctly identified as such ~30% of the time.

But people will just like and retweet this highly misleading statistic time and time again.

No one deserves to die because of their gender identity. But we don't need to peddle myths to have a conversation about anti-LGBT hate crimes.

Does anyone else lose respect for people when they put their (very obvious) pronouns in their social media bios? by arcticbasket in GenderCritical

These people "assume" people's pronouns all day, every day. It's impossible not to do this. Go to a restaurant:

person 1: where is the server?

person 2 (wokester): she's over there, let me wave her down.

BOOM! you just assumed her pronouns!

Like, are these people going out to waiters and cashiers and asking their pronouns before they proceed with the interaction? of course not.

the whole pronoun in the bio thing is another example of unsubstantiated woke bullshit, slacktivist nonsense of people doing the bare minimum to feel good about themselves, like they're making any sort of difference in the world.

All of the tone deaf comments are from trans women. Could it be that living life as a certain sex and spending most if not all of your formative years as that sex MIGHT prevent you from seeing things from the POV of the opposite sex? And that that might be an irrevocable blind spot for you?? Is that possible????

This most aligns with my own views. I do believe people with gender dysphoria should be able to live their lives as the opposite sex, and that the polite thing to do is to treat them as their desired sex.

The policing of people's language is strike one for me.

This idea that we can't even acknowledge that trans men have female bodies or that trans women have male bodies.

How the dialogue begins and ends at "Trans women are women," as if there's not an ounce of nuance to that statement.

How even broaching the topic of nuance in this case is strictly prohibited in left-leaning circles.

How the onus is on all of us to speak in a way so as to contemplate 0.5% of the population at all times.

How there is no room to discuss the degree to which the rise in trans identification could be comorbid with mental disorders.

I could go on.

Anyone can join, existing to give people a sense of belonging. The "gates open, come on in" attitude of today's "LGBT" community proves that.

Excellent! One more letter to add to the never-ending acronym! LGBTQIAC+!

The sad thing is, a lot of gay, lesbian, and bisexual people have faced rejection in their lives that they think they need to take it so far in the opposite direction that they don't want to reject anybody. A tiny bit of gatekeeping is OKAY. We can still love and respect cross-dressers while at the same time not feeling like they belong in the LGBT community. Being gay is immutable. Your choice of clothes is not.

Are teenagers (especially girls) mistaking the awkwardness and discomfort that they feel towards their pubescent bodies for gender dysphoria? by oyasuminasai50 in LGBDropTheT

You're getting defensive for no reason. I wasn't challenging what you said. I'm drawing a parallel between what we're seeing today with trans teens and what we saw 10 years ago. As in, "Teens are drawn to trans ideology as a manifestation of their anxiety and low self-esteem, much like anorexic teens of the past, or teens who committed self-harm, or teens drawn to emo or punk sub-culture. However, what makes this phenomenon so much different from those phenomena of yesteryear is the backing of powerful nonprofits like HRC and GLAAD as well as the medical establishment." As in, I was drawing a contrast with the trans movement, not anything you said. I'm sorry if you read it that way.

Thanks for your comment and for sharing your backstory. I've been following Abagail Shrier's work, which partly inspired me to make this post to begin with. I do strongly believe that much of the increase in trans identification is social contagion.

However, the trans phenomenon has so many dangerous drivers that self-harm, anorexia, or counter-culture movements like emo and punk didn't have. That schools and nonprofits are actually affirming these tendencies and behaviors. Especially after gay marriage was legalized, activists and non-profits had to shift their focus to a new cause, and that shift was largely towards trans issues.

So, I made a post on r/ChangeMyView that received several hundred upvotes, the post was simply expressing my distaste with the modern LGBT community's willingness to be knowingly commercialised for monetary gain.

The legalization of gay marriage was the worst thing to happen to these people. Suddenly they didn't have a material, significant political cause to fight for. Now they have to whine about the most insignificant things to muster the same sense of moral/intellectual superiority. They actually like it when people are biogted because it gives them an opportunity to virtue signal in front of everyone and get that sweet upvote/like button-induced dopamine boost.

I think social media more broadly is to blame. Puberty is an awkward time as is, and it's a vulnerable, confusing, and even sometimes scary time, especially for teenage girls. And now we live in a culture where the emphasis on your appearance has been amplified. The ability to make targeted attacks against people has been amplified in the form of social media and cyberbullying. And I think a lot of teenage girls are having a very difficult time navigating through all of that.

Remember when the dialogue not too long ago was how harmful all of those photoshopped models on the magazines were? Now think of how many photoshopped images of people's faces and bodies we see a day compared to then thanks to Instagram and Facebook. It's increased tenfold.

While I do think there is an organic rise in trans identification as a result of rising acceptance, there is no doubt in my mind that social media has sowed extreme confusion, anxiety, and fear into teenagers. And that being trans is seen as a way to cope with a pubescent experience that is three times as uncomfortable and embarrassing as it used to be.

How can you be GNC yet believe that being GNC means you have no gender at all? Isn't that conforming to gender? GNC would mean identifying as male yet not conforming to traditionally male things. Being gender conforming is saying, if I don't like male things, my gender must not be male. Which is conforming to gender. It's just... how do these people think they're actually DOING anything? How do they think they're the most progressive among all of us?

Not banned, but I had a comment removed from r/lgbt a few days ago.

Top post was complaining about cis people. One of the heavily downvoted comments was someone offended that they would make a blanket statement about cis people. Reply to that comment said there's an "implied" some/most/many when they talk about cis people and they don't literally mean ALL cis people.

My thought was, well, when we say women menstruate or men have penises, isn't there any implied some/most/many in that example too? But no, in that case, it's "don't conflate sex and gender!" or "reminder that some women have penises!"

Sadly my comment got removed before I could get what I'm sure would have been a ridiculous reply.

I genuinely believe I could see eye-to-eye with contemporary TRAs if they could JUST acknowledge that trans people are their biological sex, and that that has certain implications. Social, physiological, and otherwise.

I refuse to entertain the notion that trans women are biologically female and therefore wholly indistinguishable from a “cis” woman.

I’m not a fan of her, but Amy Coney Barrett was criticized by the HRC for referring to a trans woman as a “physiological male.” For stating a fucking fact! We can’t even say that trans women have male bodies? But then they’ll claim they don’t deny that sex is real. Utter bullshit.

Guess what. If Roe v. Wade is overturned, trans women won’t be impacted one bit.

How is it not loud and clear for every brain dead TRA that being trans is so often predicated on these horrifically shallow, insidious, and exaggerated notions of what it means to be male/female to someone who was typically not born and raised as that sex and has never spent any time in the physical body of the other sex?

News flash! Living with a uterus and being raised as a girl and female teenager is going to give you life experiences that distinguishes you from someone who has never had uterus and has never spent their most formative and vulnerable years as a female. The TWAW mantra completely eradicates this critical distinction.

I can jive with their definition of gender. And I can jive with their definition of gay IF you go by the conventional definition of gender as a synonym for sex. But their definition of “gay” and “gender” are wholly incompatible.

Gay people are attracted to the same gender. OK. Fine if you consider gender and sex the same. But going by their own definition of gender, they’re saying gay is attraction to... the way someone thinks about themselves? So if I’m a gay man, and someone - let’s say Charlize Theron - comes out as a trans man tomorrow, without doing anything different with her body or physical appearance, am I supposed to be any more attracted to her?

If we say being gay is attraction to what someone is “supposed to look like,” are we saying that being gay is attraction to culturally-defined norms? Because that’s what you’re saying when you say what someone is “supposed to look like.” So if Charlie Theron gives herself a buzz cut and throws on a flannel shirt, NOW I should be attracted to her?

As soon as we start to believe that being gay is based on culturally-defined norms of gender, then it’s impossible to be born gay. You can’t be innately attracted to something socially constructed. It’s ipso facto a logical inconsistency.

This was done exactly by design. Nonprofits exist only as long as the social problems that they’re - ostensibly - trying to fix. If LGBT gain several significant legal victories, and if social acceptance continues to reach new highs, then funding will start to decline.

This is the problem with the enby/GNC shit. "I'm not comfortable with embodying literally every single gender stereotype" now has this ~special~ label whereas before it just fucking WAS. And the goal was to show, hey, you can be a man or woman and you don't have to pay any mind to gender stereotypes! GNC doesn't eradicate those stereotypes. It doesn't subvert them. It literally condones them.

Because now "I'm a woman who doesn't like woman things" now means you're not a woman at all (meaning being a woman IS being all those stereotypes). Instead of "I'm a woman who doesn't like woman things but I'm still a woman" which would ACTUALLY challenge gender roles.
