No, no, we are as crazy as the bad people say we are

r2d2_21 · 2022-07-09T21:37:52+00:00

This is why there's no such thing as an ally. Either you're one of them and believe this nonsense of changing your biological sex, or you're an evil cis man.

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 · 2022-06-25T12:49:51+00:00

“Pregnant people of color”, the phrase you use when you want to be both sexist and racist (and the audacity of saying both “people of color” and “white people” in the same sentence)

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 · 2022-06-22T16:42:20+00:00

I hate the “trans kids” concept with all my soul.

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 · 2022-06-23T13:53:46+00:00

The very reason I joined Reddit in the first place was because of TumblrInAction. And now that it's gone, my Reddit feed feels quite empty tbh.

But I still think it's not important enough to base my life around it. At the end of the day, the disappearance of TIA won't make me stop thinking that “trans” is a mental illness and that it should be handled as such.

Now, for your question in the end:

What do you think? Is it even worth trying to rebuild what we had on r/TiA? And if not, then what is?

Ask yourself: why did you contribute to TIA? Was it to call out the craziness for what it is? Or was it to have lots of posts with lots of upvotes?

The way I see it, in a perfect world, places such as TIA wouldn't exist, because stuff such as men swimming in women's competitions would be absurd and would never happen.

I don't think “rebuilding what we had on TIA” should be the goal, any more than actually fighting for (true) social justice.

r2d2_21 · 2022-06-26T15:38:28+00:00

It's good to see not everyone at Reddit buys the gender bullshit.

r2d2_21 · 2022-06-25T20:22:45+00:00

After years of taking testosterone blockers, our skin is soff [sic] and we uhhhh.... Look the Precum tastes great

Guy chemically castrates himself, realizes what he's done, and then proceeds to take large amounts of copium to convince himself that being chemically castrated is Good Actually.

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 · 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 · 2022-07-15T16:04:24+00:00

so is there an Spanish equivalent in normal usage of 'they' as in indetermined gender,

Not quite. Spanish has “él” = (he) and “ella” = (she), but the indeterminate gender is also “él”. In general, anything that has no gender or both genders (like a group of people) just defaults to the male gender.

The reason “les hijes” is so ridiculous is because the -e suffix doesn't exist, it's 100% an invention for this gender nonsense. I'd say it's similar to using “xe/xer”, but if you defined “xe/xer” to be the gender neutral pronoun.

r2d2_21 · 2022-06-28T12:28:36+00:00

to cope with having lost a cub

Literally what

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 · 2023-08-10T00:05:19+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 · 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 · 2022-07-15T16:07:39+00:00

but also, governement banned inclusive writing from its own official texts

That sounds just wonderful.

r2d2_21 · 2022-07-07T16:35:03+00:00

Do they check your papers at the entrance? Do they hold a card with different skin tones like with Peter Griffin? What is the process here?

r2d2_21 · 2022-06-27T17:10:31+00:00

Most likely. Either trolling or just going along because she knows it's just a phase.

r2d2_21 · 2023-07-15T19:43:56+00:00

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

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 · 2022-09-12T17:49:22+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 · 2022-08-18T15:05:10+00:00

We need to bring up the lobotomy analogy more often.

r2d2_21 · 2022-07-20T14:09:45+00:00

The fuck are you talking about? You don't need to “justify” human rights for them to keep existing.

I'm sorry an atheist ate your ice cream when you were a kid or something.

WTF

r2d2_21 · 2022-07-08T22:15:32+00:00

They're either trolls or bootlickers. And at this point it doesn't matter which it is.

r2d2_21 · 2022-06-27T16:53:01+00:00

Gender is not a universally binary concept

Whenever you try to ask for counterexamples, you always get examples of how other cultures discriminated against gay men, so I don't know if that's the brilliant point you think it is.

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 · 2022-12-03T03:05:42+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 · 2022-09-12T17:58:47+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 · 2022-09-11T14:31:21+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 · 2022-09-02T17:55:29+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 · 2022-08-17T20:18:44+00:00

I'd say it's the other way around: declaring yourself trans is peak self diagnosis.

r2d2_21 · 2022-07-19T21:24:14+00:00

Great bait mate, but you're not convincing me to become religious.

r2d2_21 · 2022-07-12T19:02:24+00:00

It's OK, you can just do a genderbend cosplay, no need to invent trans nonsense for it.

Vasectomies, just like any of the other surgeries that are frequently talked about in here, is something that you have to be 100% sure you want to do and understand the consequences of.

You can watch violent and immoral stuff without admiring the character. It's an option. We promise.

OK, my man.

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

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 · 2022-09-12T17:47:16+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 · 2022-09-02T17:53:04+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 · 2022-08-11T14:47:59+00:00

Ah, yes, even if you're dark skinned, you're white.

r2d2_21 · 2022-07-19T21:13:30+00:00

let criminals get away with murder

I mean, they already are getting away with rape, or worse, being sent into rape heaven (men sent to women's prison)

r2d2_21 · 2022-07-19T21:06:48+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.

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”.

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 · 2022-09-30T20:39:21+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 · 2022-09-27T21:29:43+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 · 2022-09-12T18:03:17+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 · 2022-09-11T14:34:48+00:00

gender non-conforming, heterosexual couples

The fuck does this mean, tho

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 · 2022-09-02T17:45:37+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 · 2022-08-25T13:52:20+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”.

Skittles

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

r2d2_21 · 2022-08-16T14:13:43+00:00

I like this as criticism or satire, but what will happen when normal people want to go to the bathroom? I don't think most people know what AMAB and AFAB mean.

r2d2_21 · 2022-08-15T17:28:33+00:00

Is the article... Is the article suggesting that the beautiful trans women that are the Wachowskis dared to create a White Savior movie? 😲😳😠

r2d2_21 · 2022-08-09T14:02:17+00:00

The way I see it is this:

Gays and lesbians started supporting trans people because they thought they were oppressed. But years later, now that trans people want gays and lesbians to have sex with them, they have realized what a mistake it was to include them in the flag. So, gay people NOW want nothing to do with trans people, but this wasn't true in the past.

r2d2_21 · 2022-07-25T04:46:22+00:00

Suddenly all pedos identify as trans, and nobody has a clue why.

r2d2_21 · 2022-07-13T14:18:49+00:00

Posts like these help us remind that not everyone on Tumblr is a mad man.

r2d2_21 · 2022-07-07T05:24:33+00:00

Otis isn't trans, he's just stupidly designed

r2d2_21 · 2022-07-07T05:19:56+00:00

A lot of those same SJWs used to make transphobic jokes before supporting trans rights became politically relevant.

That's because the concept of “transphobic” wasn't invented until after “trans rights” became relevant.

r2d2_21 · 2022-07-04T17:25:25+00:00

nope, anything, even if it's a whim, have random abortions to people at will no matter what

The way I see it, if you allow one kind of abortion you have to allow all kinds of it. If you start to police who gets an abortion and who doesn't, eventually you'll have legitimate cases being denied the procedure and risking their lives, and in the end it would turn to the same as banning all abortions.

r2d2_21 · 2022-06-24T00:40:08+00:00

Shit like this is why everyone started identifying as trans. Maybe transracial will be the next step, at last.

Yeah, no.

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

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 · 2023-03-02T14:52:25+00:00

What the literal fuck

r2d2_21 · 2023-02-24T00:58:03+00:00

This is forcing a gay man to have straight sex

r2d2_21 · 2023-01-03T15:01:50+00:00

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

r2d2_21 · 2022-11-17T16:11:02+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 · 2022-10-26T21:32:52+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 · 2022-10-13T03:40:02+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 · 2022-09-30T19:42:01+00:00

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

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 · 2022-08-28T12:15:43+00:00

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

r2d2_21 · 2022-08-25T13:50:41+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 · 2022-08-22T15:43:51+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 · 2022-08-15T17:17:05+00:00

I'm not sure who's mocking who in this conversation.

r2d2_21 · 2022-08-12T13:56:15+00:00

It actually is the best treatment

In what world is mutilation of healthy organs a good treatment?

r2d2_21 · 2022-08-10T14:31:54+00:00

Thus, each such procedure puts the patient at risk of complications in an effort to affirm the impossible

r2d2_21 · 2022-07-20T14:17:10+00:00

You'd think so. But I got into a discussion with their Twitter account a while back, and they seem as religious as actual Christians.

I guess if you want to root for the bad guy you still have to believe in the whole system to begin with.

r2d2_21
