@JennaSpeaksUp No one likes to be deceived, and ‘trans’ is all about fooling people into believing you’re the opposite sex. Here in lies the problem which can’t be fixed. Stop lying to yourself.
A large number of people (mostly men, in my experience) who're sympathetic to some of women's opposition to gender identity ideology, nevertheless think it's cruel to point out that a trans-identified man looks like a man, and unkind not to 'respect' his pronouns. They think these are 'compromises' women should be prepared to make. 'What does it matter?' they say. 'How does it hurt you?'
The psychological effects of being coerced, manipulated or pressured into doing something that is against a person's own beliefs or values are well known. 'Moral injury' occurs when a person is forced to betray deep-held convictions, or stand in silence while those convictions are being betrayed. The individual feels transgressed at a core level. The inevitable consequences are stress, anxiety and anger.
Workplaces across the west have imposed a Kafkaesque situation on women. A belief system most people consider nonsensical, but which, in elite circles, has become almost a religion, has been imposed from on high. Women are being persecuted and punished for not pretending they think men can change sex. The policing of pronouns, and the harassment and shaming of women who won't pretend they can't recognise a man when they see one, is merely the tip of genderism's gigantic, threatening iceberg.
Any man who seeks to force women to play along with the fantasy that he's female is engaging in a typically male power play. At worst, he will suffer narcissistic injury from her non-compliance, but that doesn't make him objectively vulnerable. The non-compliant woman, though, suffers lasting moral injury by being forced to participate daily in a lie - a lie, moreover, that constitutes a fundamental threat to her own rights to privacy, dignity and safety.
It has been profoundly illuminating to see how many people - possibly because their own values spring, not from a place of rationality or true conviction, but from fashion and self-interest - see male narcissistic injury as so very much more worthy of compassion than the moral injuries suffered by women.
Many people in the replies to this have totally missed the point.
The original post was about a 17-year-old with a “stable gender identity.” What that actually means is a young man who has always been extremely gender nonconforming and in this mad era has been told that means he has a “female gender identity” and is therefore a girl.
Decades of research shows that extreme gender nonconformity in childhood is a strong indicator of homosexuality in adulthood.
Of course most trans-identified men are heterosexual — autogynephilic to be precise. But for the kids sucked into this, most of the boys would grow up to be gay if they weren’t being chemically and surgically castrated.
That’s where the phrase “trans away the gay” comes from.
No 17-year-old has a stable identity. And no 17-year-old can possibly know who they are destined to become.
Most, if not all of these boys are just gay and haven’t had the chance to settle into their sexuality yet.
Chopping off their penises is an actual crime against humanity.
@JennaFights4You You do realise that 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are all self inflicted life long medical interventions which were totally unnecessary had you not believed the lie that you were ‘born in the wrong body’ and actually just grew up and stopped playing the victim. We’re done with your shit.
@JennaFights4You We are not questioning your sex. That’s clearly male. We are questioning your imaginary ‘gender identity’ which is a nonsense concept like elbow grease or sky hooks.
@AntiWokeMemes “Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.” George Orwell - 1984.
@JennaFights4You@RNGem1 You’re grooming young confused kids as a way of validating your own fictitious identity. You do realise that if there weren’t groomers like you pushing the trans lie then kids would grow through puberty and discard this nonsense. https://t.co/2m4zwc9a67
Nobody is transgender.
It is a made-up, meaningless term.
Those who call themselves trans are simply people playing pretend, often expecting society to participate in their lie.
They are not another class of human. They are male or female, that’s all they will ever be, and that’s great!
Human life as we are is amazing. We are brilliant, unique, and capable of incredible feats. We are energy stitched together to become life, with an average adult made up of approximately 7 octillion atoms (that’s 27 zeros), performing roughly 37 sextillion biochemical reactions per second.
Our very existence is the definition of a miracle. Gender ideology comes along and teaches children that they were born wrong, and need to change their miraculous, balanced design with drugs and surgeries.
It is well past time to send this damaging ideology back to the ninth circle of hell from whence it came.
Children are never born in the wrong body!
I can’t remember the exact moment that “peaked” me.
But one moment has stayed with me: a Facebook discussion where I mentioned I’d asked my daughter whether a “non-binary” friend was a boy or a girl.
I was piled on by multiple adults - many of them parents of teenagers themselves - for being “offensive” towards someone my under-16 child wanted to spend time alone with.
And I remember thinking: oh my God - they actually believe gender identity matters more than safeguarding a child.
As a parent, it's your responsibility to ensure your
child is safe. That includes having age-appropriate conversations about boundaries, consent, contraception and sex where necessary.
The feelings of another child who is confused about their gender identity are not your responsibility. That responsibility sits with their parents or carers. And those feelings should never take priority over the safety, dignity or boundaries of other children.
Yet there I was, confronted by well-educated adults - people who otherwise seemed perfectly sane - who genuinely believed they should.
It took me a while longer to recognise what was really going on: and that some parents were actively going along with this.
Including allowing their children to dictate what they, as adults, were permitted to think or say. Rather than being the adult in the relationship.
Alastair Campbell is one such example - apparently displaying no embarrassment about publicly asking his daughter Grace what he should think or say about trans issues.
I’ve seen friends do similar.
As if they are afraid to be the parent.
I believe that fear has played a significant role in the boundary failures we now see: boys in girls’ toilets and changing rooms, competing in girls’ sports and schools indulging claims that would once have prompted adult correction - affirming them instead of guiding children back to reality.
I’m not saying it’s easy. One of the hardest parts of parenting is telling your child they’re wrong.
But it is also one of the most loving things you can do - because it teaches them that the world does not bend around their feelings, that other people matter too and that reality, boundaries and responsibility are things they will have to live with long after childhood ends.
@stephenwhittle Are you happy at how many kids and young people believe the lie that they are ‘born in the wrong body’? I’m sick of your shit and the harm it’s doing to my family. We need to speak truth. No one can change sex. Trans is a lie.
@JackxJewell The groomed become the groomers! These are powerful steroids these kids are taking all to live a lie. Sorry ‘the truth’! I’m sick of this shit.
Nobody is trans. Society would be better off if we stopped referring to anyone as transgender.
No, that’s not a genocide. That’s a return to truth and reality.
There are a variety of things all being lumped together as ‘trans.’
There are men with a sexual perversion called autogynephilia, where they get aroused by pretending to be a woman, and love invading women’s spaces. In addition to that, they are obviously narcissistic, selfish jerks.
There are gay people who decide to alter their body and say they are trans, who simultaneously virtually always have other problems going on, like sexual abuse or trauma or family problems. Transition is a form of gay conversion therapy for them. There are also just the mentally ill, raging narcissists like Dylan Mulvaney.
Then there are the kids — overwhelmingly with autism, frequently sexually abused, and with other mental health comorbidities, who have been groomed into a CULT.
Nobody is trans. Transition, or body modification, is something they do, not something they are.
Trans is a fake, meaningless label.
@ThatsSoDerek@AidanCTweets That’s because the trans lies defy logic and reality. No one can actually change sex, so a woman who takes cross sex hormones to deceive others into thinking she is male creates this paradox, and expects society to change for her.
@Finn_Mackay ‘trans’ is based on lying to yourself and wanting others to lie to you about your biological sex. Society functions when we are honest with each other. Society fails when deception is sold as ‘kindness’. I’m sorry that you have been lied to.
