@minordissent "Gender is a social construct and not real in any meaningful way, but I am 100% certain that I know what it's like to be the other gender based upon media I have consumed"
When you think about it, it's a good thing that people can actually magically change gender. Because if they couldn't really, all the people who advocate for puberty blockers and gender affirming surgery, would be total f*cking psychopaths. What a terrifying prospect.
In theory I’m all for the voluntary and informed use of vaccines as a technology.
In practice I’ve lost trust in our institutions, and lack the faith in their ability to resist corruption and capture required to move me from my current position of defection back to one of cooperation.
There’s no amount of shame or vitriol one can pour upon me that will change this.
Only by demonstrating competence, transparency, accountability, and epistemic humility can our institutions rebuild the trust required.
I too feel it’s a shame we’ve fallen to these depths, and that this is a particularly bad time to have lost said trust.
I know full well that this may expose me to other risks.
But there it is.
I now believe those risks to be less than the risks of exposing myself to the whims of our captured and corrupted institutions.
How to fix it?
Kick the Chicken Littles, Public Health Totalitarians, and Profit-at-all-cost types out of the field.
Stigmatize *those behaviors*, rather than the growing “non-compliance” of a public that has predictably lost faith in its institutions due to the consequences of the aforementioned behaviors.
Rebuild a culture of responsibly measured communication with the public.
No more hysterics.
Acknowledge that the burden of proof, as well as the burden of persuasion, is on you.
Internalize the message that when it comes to said persuasion, both overt coercion and covert psychological manipulation are *out of bounds*.
At that point, I’ll be open to re-extending my trust.
Not to be crass, but if a woman is wearing a romper, she may be completely nude using the restroom.
if a woman leaks, she may be removing panties and rinsing them in the sink before wrapping them in paper towel to keep in her purse
if a woman uses a menstrual cup, she may be rinsing it before inserting it back in her body.
A young woman new to tampons, may be struggling with inserting it away from home.
Many women also suffer from extreme “tummy issues” during their period.
Some women have such extreme periods, it causes them to vomit. Same with women suffering nausea during pregnancy
Lots of women are inserting a foreign object inside of themselves during their period.
Many women are tending to personal hygiene like fixing their hair or makeup.
Many women breastfeed in the restroom because if they don’t, some weird man will ogle them or accuse them of indecency.
Women don’t want to do any of these activities with a man in the room.
If your civil rights movement requires the existence of Big Pharma to intervene in the bodies of healthy people & make them sick-
You’re not in a civil rights movement- you’re ensnared in a techno-medical labyrinth underpinned by a decentralized cult 🏳️⚧️
When an adult male puts on make-up and a dress and declares himself a woman, the last thing he wants is to be actually treated as a woman.
He wants to retain his male privilege and use his new super power - cos playing a pornified version of womanhood - to coercively control his wife or women in general.
Transgenderism is about enhancing and refining male power and dominance. Not about becoming a woman.
