How do I explain that I’m trans and not just mentally ill?

r2d2_21 · 2024-04-14T16:54:34+00:00

Being trans and mentally unwell often go hand in hand.

True. Some sensible words for once.

Instead of trying to convince them that your mental illness isn't causing you to be trans, I recommend providing them with information about how suppressing your true gender can cause significant ongoing mental distress.

Ah, yes. Asking people to give in to your delusions or you might kill yourself.

r2d2_21 · 2023-10-18T00:24:15+00:00

Does this include Black Americans?

Have you heard of the country of Liberia?

r2d2_21 · 2023-08-25T22:50:03+00:00

female-specific slurs

But I thought they had girldicks, which, according to their own definitions, are 100% female.

r2d2_21 · 2023-08-14T00:14:30+00:00

If we could grow lab meat, and it were as cheap and healthy as the best animal meat, why not eat lab meat?

If my grandma had wheels she'd be a bike.

We may love lab meat all we want, but it simply isn't a reality at the level of scale and price that would be needed.

r2d2_21 · 2023-08-10T01:41:28+00:00

Trans ideology that makes sense.

No. Trans ideology doesn't make sense. You can't change the biology of who you are.

There's also this talk about “people with genuine gender dysphoria”, but I've never seen such a case. There's always something else, either not fitting into stereotypes or straight up predatory behavior.

r2d2_21 · 2023-08-10T00:25:06+00:00

they're doing the best they can to change their sex

When changing your sex is impossible, nothing you do will get you any closer to that goal. They're deluding themselves.

r2d2_21 · 2023-08-10T00:23:53+00:00

agender and bigender

Yeah, no.

r2d2_21 · 2023-08-10T00:22:44+00:00

It can't be a coincidence

Does it matter tho? If the treatment for somebody who wants to live without arms is not cutting his arms, why is the treatment for someone who wants to become a girl cutting his dick?

r2d2_21 · 2023-08-10T00:05:19+00:00

I hate this. I follow the sub for flag shitposts, but half the time it's trans shit. I try to hide all this stuff and not interact with it, because saying anything against it is impossible.

r2d2_21 · 2023-08-08T19:34:54+00:00

crossover

Implying they're not one and the same.

Trans people and multiple personalities have always been part of the same Tumblr "you are valid" mentality. If you accept trans people you also need to accept systems as a consequence. It's just that systems haven't been in the public light, maybe because that's too insane for real life.

r2d2_21 · 2023-08-08T19:26:47+00:00

Nobody talks like the second person.

r2d2_21 · 2023-07-28T03:17:20+00:00

They're still making films, but they're garbage now that every single one of their works is a trans allegory.

r2d2_21 · 2023-07-16T23:45:25+00:00

Q: As a cis ally, what do you ignore more; gay rights, or trans rights?

A: I don't ignore either! That said, I wish the transpeople would stop disrespecting the gays.

In their minds, this is satire.

r2d2_21 · 2023-07-15T19:43:56+00:00

As a Mexican myself, why would someone not order enchiladas? 🤨🤨🤨

r2d2_21 · 2023-07-13T05:45:13+00:00

So a "straight" woman to them is a submissive woman, to men or women, and vice versa.

I've literally never seen a woman who likes women referred to as "straight", neither by herself or by others.

r2d2_21 · 2023-07-12T00:38:13+00:00

I don't think most people choose to be trans

It's the opposite actually. Since you don't have to prove anything to claim you're trans, this means every single person saying they're trans are doing it by choice.

Granted, there's social pressure in some circles, where you're encouraged to be unique and special, and since "straight guy" is not special enough, being trans is better for that. But ultimately, trans is a choice.

r2d2_21 · 2023-07-10T21:47:26+00:00

Either all trans people are trenders, or none of them are.

r2d2_21 · 2023-07-04T23:52:00+00:00

It's the same topic as this post: https://saidit.net/s/TumblrInAction/comments/b2cd/why_cant_we_look_like_anime_girls_in_real_life/

r2d2_21 · 2023-06-29T14:29:20+00:00

Exactly my point. T also shouldn't be part of Pride.

r2d2_21 · 2023-06-28T17:42:54+00:00

But queer isn't a sexuality. It's not something that should be part of Pride.

There are two questions to be asked. 1: What's your sex? 2: What sex are you attracted to? If 1 and 2 are opposite, you're straight, no matter how "against the heteronormativity" you are.

r2d2_21 · 2023-06-23T05:41:40+00:00

And the AGP trannies don't want to be labeled "straight"...

Well, they're straight. Too bad. We don't need new nonsense terms.

r2d2_21 · 2023-06-19T17:49:03+00:00

Is it really the Rainbow Community if the ones getting offended are the ones with the blue and pink flag?

r2d2_21 · 2023-06-01T16:24:28+00:00

Wait, I know who the second person is.

Daniel Fore, who among other things he leads an open source Linux distro.

I remember when he came out as trans, he had the brilliant idea to say that his company was so inclusive that they switched from a male CEO to a female CEO (referring to himself).

While his Linux distro was something I supported in the past, now I don't touch it with a 10 ft pole.

r2d2_21 · 2023-05-29T15:59:06+00:00

Whoopi Goldberg is my favourite transwoman

fucking what

r2d2_21 · 2023-05-29T15:12:17+00:00

interesting things to discuss with the pronouns nonsense

Such as? 🤨

r2d2_21 · 2023-04-25T01:02:05+00:00

unless they’re actually trying to undermine the family

I don't think undermining the family is their ultimate goal. It's just collateral damage.

Their real objective is trying to get the trans ideology into as many places as possible, and if parents keep getting in the way, then that's why they're going after them.

r2d2_21 · 2023-04-25T00:38:46+00:00

Interesting their choice of words. “Look like”.

I thought the point of being trans was you were forced to call him a woman no matter what he looks like.

r2d2_21 · 2023-03-02T14:52:25+00:00

What the literal fuck

r2d2_21 · 2023-02-28T16:07:43+00:00

NFTs attract only a specific kind of sucker. Trans suckers are unfortunately not this kind of sucker.

r2d2_21 · 2023-02-24T00:58:03+00:00

This is forcing a gay man to have straight sex

r2d2_21 · 2023-02-24T00:53:04+00:00

they won't close the loop and flat-out say "Because I am a trans woman, that really means I am a cis woman."

Some people are actually saying just that.

r2d2_21 · 2023-02-24T00:52:11+00:00

Even if they know, they intentionally ignore it for their fantasies.

r2d2_21 · 2023-02-11T18:12:57+00:00

No one says multiple personality disorder is multiple people sharing a body

Oh no, they do. It's not as widespread as trans people, but “systems” have existed in Tumblr for several years now.

r2d2_21 · 2023-01-28T13:56:30+00:00

it shows what they think is worth seeing, which is by definition political

I'm not sure where this definition of “political” is coming from. In all dictionaries I can find online, the definition of “political” always refers to the government one way or another. Me deciding to draw an apple instead a banana doesn't involve the government at all.

r2d2_21 · 2023-01-09T16:24:48+00:00

And he now opens his eyes.

r2d2_21 · 2023-01-07T14:58:43+00:00

Why are trans people mad? How do they determine who's worthy of abusing the laws and who isn't?

r2d2_21 · 2023-01-04T19:30:45+00:00

Even autistic people shouldn't be treated like literal 6yos. What the fuck is this?

r2d2_21 · 2023-01-03T15:33:07+00:00

Nah, these nutjobs like to claim that stuff like Mario Kart is political because Princess Peach exists and therefore the games make a statement about how monarchy is actually OK.

I'm serious, I've seen that argument before.

r2d2_21 · 2023-01-03T15:01:50+00:00

It literally says “BEWARE SPIDERS” in that screenshot, or am I missing something?

r2d2_21 · 2022-12-26T15:45:02+00:00

Also gotta love the response.

“They may come back. Mine never did, but yours may, who knows.”

r2d2_21 · 2022-12-26T15:43:55+00:00

“I started chemical castration 2 months ago. Why are my erections disappearing?”

This means the chemical castration is working.

r2d2_21 · 2022-12-26T15:32:16+00:00

I realized that over 95% of these people aren't transsexuals.

I have never met the 5%. For all I care they don't actually exist.

r2d2_21 · 2022-12-26T15:22:10+00:00

It's OK. You can go to the gym and still be a woman. We promise.

r2d2_21 · 2022-12-22T16:59:21+00:00

This statement directly contradicts the “girl dick” tho.

r2d2_21 · 2022-12-22T16:41:11+00:00

Change stops when we arrive at treating each other right.

Beatings will continue until morale improves.

r2d2_21 · 2022-12-13T16:51:39+00:00

I mean, she's been existing. She's still been making videos. I personally stopped following her when it became evident she's a gun nut.

r2d2_21 · 2022-12-03T03:05:42+00:00

But waiting lists for the complex op, called a phalloplasty, which is also offered to men who lose their genitalia in serious accidents, can be up to four years.

It's almost as if requesting a dangerous body-altering surgery should be reserved only to those who need it for medical reasons.

r2d2_21 · 2022-12-03T02:59:35+00:00

The current discourse is that gender and sex are one and the same, and that splitting them was bad for the cause.

r2d2_21 · 2022-12-03T02:56:32+00:00

Girl is when boobs. If you're flat, then you're a bit of a boy.

At least that's what I get from the icons used in the “spectrum”.

r2d2_21 · 2022-11-24T23:17:59+00:00

making the non binary shit up to get a last laugh

I mean, aren't they all?

r2d2_21 · 2022-11-22T14:42:04+00:00

No matter what the issue is about, if you hear the term “thought leaders” you know they're full of bullshit.

r2d2_21 · 2022-11-20T07:20:39+00:00

TERFs, i see your QRTs. do not even dare. you’ll be instantly blocked. i am a proud queer trans man. you hate dr. gallagher because she provides trans surgery. i hate her because i had a dangerous experience with her. twisting my trauma to serve your fascist agenda is so sick.

The cult has worked.

r2d2_21 · 2022-11-20T07:12:57+00:00

I went out of state and paid over $20k for both the surgery and the trip itself.

What the actual fuck? Paying that amount of money to destroy your life.

r2d2_21 · 2022-11-17T16:11:02+00:00

if a gay man finds a trans man attracting then it would show that he was never gay and is really just attracted to masculinity

This is wrong, and the terms “trans man” and “trans woman” are designed to make this confusing. A “trans man” is really a woman. So, if a gay man finds a woman attractive then this means he is really bi. There's no “masculinity” involved in being attracted to a woman.

r2d2_21 · 2022-11-07T15:11:26+00:00

Yeah, this might actually be the reason. Being trans is self reported. If this man hasn't said he's trans, he's still a “man in a woman's dress”.

r2d2_21 · 2022-11-05T02:45:12+00:00

I mean, yeah, in Tumblr they were all always part of the “you're valid” movement. That and systems and whatnot.

The real problem was when the trans shit escaped Tumblr.

r2d2_21 · 2022-11-01T14:59:02+00:00

I feel sad for her. In pictures post surgery, she looks absolutely miserable, almost as if cutting off healthy parts of your body can have traumatic consequences.

r2d2_21 · 2022-10-29T01:32:57+00:00

I didn't know that was what Stonetoss was referencing. Now I can only ask: why?

r2d2_21 · 2022-10-28T17:03:00+00:00

What is the thought process here? They say Stonetoss is a Nazi, and then proceed to copy his art style?

r2d2_21 · 2022-10-26T21:32:52+00:00

And what in the fuck does this have to do with TV tropes?

To be fair, TV Tropes also documents tropes in movies, books and videogames, the same way Tumblr in Action also talks about Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

r2d2_21 · 2022-10-26T15:18:15+00:00

It bypasses the (entirely made up) debate

Wrong. If you use the AMAB/AFAB terms you're giving in to their delusions that sex is assigned at birth by the evil doctors of the patriarchy.

r2d2_21 · 2022-10-14T18:11:52+00:00

To be fair, I'm surprised the number reported is as big as 53%. They could just as well say 90% of Gen Z-ers are queer.

r2d2_21 · 2022-10-13T03:40:02+00:00

What about their living relatives?

r2d2_21 · 2022-10-08T13:41:18+00:00

Do you think trans people don't fit this “delusion” definition?

r2d2_21 · 2022-10-06T15:45:30+00:00

I mean, I've seen many posts shipping her specifically with Daphne, so I don't know if that's the reason.

r2d2_21 · 2022-10-05T15:35:45+00:00

Bold of them to include “compañere” (classmate, but woke), a word that was mocked to death when a video went viral about a girl (sorry, a beautiful and brave non-binary) who used it while derailing the class and paying no attention to the teacher.

r2d2_21 · 2022-10-05T15:21:37+00:00

You know the game is queer because the Splatoon girl is doing the Dreamworks face.

r2d2_21 · 2022-10-05T15:17:54+00:00

It's “LGBTQ Nation”. It's a fake award the news site is giving to fake women.

r2d2_21 · 2022-09-30T20:39:21+00:00

Man cuts off cock.

It doesn't say he cut off his cock. He, however, is in the process of chemically castrating himself.

r2d2_21 · 2022-09-30T19:42:01+00:00

Many trans are also tankies. It doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

r2d2_21 · 2022-09-27T21:29:43+00:00

The way trans people are defined (the only requirement to be trans is to say you're trans), trolls are indistinguishable from the real deal. They're one and the same.

r2d2_21 · 2022-09-27T16:15:29+00:00

it's an umbrella term

Whenever you see the term “umbrella term”, you know you're in the realm of bullshit definitions.

r2d2_21 · 2022-09-26T18:22:45+00:00

an era of true equality where men can be women, women can be enbys and children are gender non conforming until they decide what they identify as at 1 years old

I love the part where men are evil and nobody actively wants to be a man.

r2d2_21 · 2022-09-26T16:30:30+00:00

openSUSE isn't the only one doing this shit. elementary OS also has a permanent rainbow color (and no, they're not an LGBT charity).

r2d2_21 · 2022-09-15T14:53:53+00:00

A lion is a completely different species than a sea lion

The same way a trans woman is a completely different sex than a woman.

I'm just saying the problem isn't really what we call them but the underlying framework of reality.

And I'm saying that what we call them just makes the problem worse. The only way to fix it is to call them what they really are.

r2d2_21 · 2022-09-15T07:01:24+00:00

We shorten "website" into "site", "movie theater" into "theater"

Within this same train of thought, we DON'T shorten “sea lion” into “lion” or “air fryer” into “fryer” because the adjective is actually crucial in the definition of these terms.

r2d2_21 · 2022-09-14T20:50:58+00:00

Keep up with the times! The current narrative is that sex and gender are one and the same.

r2d2_21 · 2022-09-13T05:57:04+00:00

They're male, but not necessarily a man

If they're male then they're men. It's part of the definition of the words.

(reading from other comments in the thread)

Yes, there are stereotypes for men and women that don't exactly involve reproduction. If you look for a lumberjack, it's more likely that it will be a man than a woman. Or a ballet dancer will most probably be a woman. Stereotypes ultimately derive from statistics and probability, but they don't imply causation. A woman that becomes a lumberjack won't become a man. A man that takes ballet lessons won't turn into a woman.

The definitions of men, women, male and female all come from our reproductive roles. We can derive roles and trends after that, but our biological reality doesn't change just because we start following the trends of the other sex.

A man that gets surgery and hormones is still a man. A woman that gets surgery and hormones is still a woman. It doesn't matter how good they become at lying to themselves and society.

r2d2_21 · 2022-09-12T18:03:17+00:00

Therefore trans-women are not JUST women, they are women who transitioned

The problem is that as long as we entertain that idea, their delusions won't stop. We need to be real here: trans women are NOT women. They're men.

r2d2_21 · 2022-09-12T17:58:47+00:00

you're saying that gender and sex are directly connected

They've been saying it for months already. Apparently “sex and gender are different” was a Trojan horse to have people be more accepting of their bullshit, but now that people are talking about sex specifically and not gender, they realized it was backfiring on them.

r2d2_21 · 2022-09-12T17:49:22+00:00

I'm totally able to agree that you feel your soul is "feminine"

I'm not. Saying you can feel your soul is feminine is the same as saying you can see people's auras. It's bullshit because souls aren't real to begin with.

r2d2_21 · 2022-09-12T17:47:16+00:00

It's non-circular in the sense that “woman” and “female” don't mean EXACTLY the same thing, but they're just changing “I'm a woman because I feel like a woman” to “I'm female because I feel female”. So, back to circular definition.

r2d2_21 · 2022-09-11T14:34:48+00:00

gender non-conforming, heterosexual couples

The fuck does this mean, tho

r2d2_21 · 2022-09-11T14:31:21+00:00

trans women [aka men] have been involved in lesbianism and the lesbian liberation movement from the very beginning

Women fighting for their rights? Surely must have been the work of men all along!

r2d2_21 · 2022-09-11T14:24:26+00:00

It's the same as the child yelling that the Emperor has no clothes.

r2d2_21 · 2022-09-09T06:55:55+00:00

A rule of thumb: if you only see racism/sexism/etc discourse about a movie or show, but nothing about the actual plot, then it's most likely garbage.

The same happened with Lightyear. Everybody was talking about the lesbian kiss. Nobody was talking about what the damn movie was about.

r2d2_21 · 2022-09-07T15:20:08+00:00

In Mexico they have started to allow people to identify as different ages, we all know the motive behind that.

As a Mexican, I had never heard of this. The fuck?

r2d2_21 · 2022-09-02T17:55:29+00:00

you'd have to believe in a soul and that soul got mismatched into the wrong sex's body

Why would souls be gendered to begin with? When the whole point of sex is reproduction which happens in the physical world, why would a soul have any information regarding how it happens?

r2d2_21 · 2022-09-02T17:53:04+00:00

Oh boy. The incest discourse again.

Incest in real life is a despicable act, in part because it's almost always a form of rape (how many actually consensual incestuous relationships exist?) and in part because of the guaranteed health issues their offspring will have.

Incest in fiction and shipping? Go for it! The characters aren't real. If you want to imagine protagonist-kun dating his onee-san, then by all means do. Nobody is getting hurt in the process.

r2d2_21 · 2022-09-02T17:45:37+00:00

How many times will Disney make the “first openly gay” stuff again?

r2d2_21 · 2022-08-29T14:09:57+00:00

This is just new religion lashing out at old religion

Is this why Pride is celebrated in this new religion? In the old one it was one of the cardinal sins.

r2d2_21 · 2022-08-29T14:08:40+00:00

Missing from the shitpost: the fact that 35 of those 37 genders are different ways to discriminate against gay men.

r2d2_21 · 2022-08-28T12:15:43+00:00

There's no way this man would look like that in the real world.

r2d2_21 · 2022-08-25T13:52:20+00:00

Now it's "choose your style" with two pics without descriptions

They did the same with Splatoon 3. Although you can tell they're still programmed as girl/boy, because if you pick the female-looking one, you'll be called a “she”.

r2d2_21 · 2022-08-25T13:50:41+00:00

had some convincing clues

It always works like this. They see a character, they look for “clues” that confirm that so-and-so is somethingsexual-coded, and they treat it as gospel even when the creators confirm it's all bullshit.

r2d2_21 · 2022-08-25T13:47:18+00:00

Skittles

I mean, Skittles as a brand has used this fact as part of their marketing for Pride Month.

r2d2_21 · 2022-08-22T16:03:37+00:00

Funny how it's always the safety of men who claim to be trans, but not the safety of women, the one that matters.

r2d2_21 · 2022-08-22T15:49:24+00:00

But satanists are not atheists, or what are you trying to imply?

r2d2_21 · 2022-08-22T15:43:51+00:00

I like to think my existence would cause transphobic cis gays to explode idk

Why do they always have to be so aggressive with their identity? It's almost as if they're doing it more to (attempt to) fuck with other people than for their own benefit.

But yeah, gay men won't explode for this. They just won't date you.

r2d2_21 · 2022-08-22T15:30:41+00:00

Biochemical dysphoria

These mfs are using sciency words to advance their ideology, like putting “quantum” in front of everything.

r2d2_21
