Bad bait either way though.
>>113748I don't have any strong feelings towards them honestly, people should be able to make whatever choices they like as long as it doesn't stop others doing the same.
And actually transitioning does reduce their suicide rate drastically, and is much harder to actually have done than just walking into a doctors and saying you're trans and want a sex change, it takes years of therapy and other treatments being tried first to determine that it's purely gender dysphoria causing your issues, and that it can't be helped any other way. After that, if nothing does, sure, they should be able to transition, I don't see why anyone would care really.

>>113755Nope, I'm definately a feminist and I support LGB people. But the thing is that trans people by nature clash with the ideals of feminism and yet too many feminists are afraid to speak up against it. I keep reading thay trans people are only 2% of the population whereas women are 50% of the population. They need to bully women (particularly feminists) into including them to increase their numbers, spread their word and draw more attention to their movement.
Trans women have the same amount of entitlement and aggression as cis men. They feel entitled to using our bathrooms, disregarding our discomfort because surely a ~petite, delicate~ little trans woman's feelings are more important than a woman's?
In any feminist community I've seen, they're always making their struggles out to be more difficult than any cis woman. They'll constantly try to make the conversation about them, just like aggressive meninists do. Even topics about periods, childbirth, breastfeeding, female masturbation… they feel the need to cut in to say "Well I'm a trans woman so I don't experience this but here in my opinion…" but GOD FORBID you have any opinion on trans matters, you privileged cis scum!
The entire trans movement is based on shaming and guilting others and I can't stand it. I've had a lesbian friend come to me in tears because people had told her off for not finding trans women attractive, that she wasn't accepting them and couldn't look past their body parts. How is that any different from idealology of the disgusting fucks who run "gay conversion" centres? Either way she's being forced into pretending she's attracted to something she's not to gain approval from some group or another. Fuck that.
I'll respect any friend who comes to me and says "Hey I'm trans" or "Hey can you start calling me this instead?" because I love them but no way in hell am I going to bend over backwards for some stranger who demands I treat them special or who feels entitled to spaces designed for women.

No. 113818
>>113817Anon, social constructs mean that they exist purely in the psychological, they may not exist in the same way in another society, or even another person. Without people to experience and define them, they don't exist.
The same as there's evolutionarily speaking no real reason to look like some fashion model, yet we all like to try to aspire to that. It's a social construct, because that look that's popular now probably wasn't 50 years ago (how many 60's haircuts do you see today?), yet we all view it as desirable and something to achieve. Well, most people do.
Some people drive themselves to insanity because they don't look like the in thing, they live their lives obsessing over it and being miserable, and for some, therapy doesn't help, so they can have surgery provided (yes, this is a thing that they do in rare cases).
Same goes for trans people. Sure, gender is a social construct, but it's still absolutely real in someones mind, and when someone obsesses over them being the wrong gender to the point it's a serious stress for them, they're considered to have gender dysphoria.

Compared with reference populations, transsexual women scored good on physical and mental level (SF-36). Gender-related bodily features were shown to be of high value. Appreciation of their appearance as perceived by others, as well as their own satisfaction with their self-image as women obtained a good score (8 and 9, respectively). However, sexual functioning as assessed through FSFI was suboptimal when compared with biological women, especially the sublevels concerning arousal, lubrication, and pain. Superior scores concerning sexual function were obtained in those transsexual women who were in a relationship and in heterosexuals. Transsexual women function well on a physical, emotional, psychological and social level. With respect to sexuality, they suffer from specific difficulties, especially concerning arousal, lubrication, and pain.Apologies if I double quoted any of those studies, I may have gotten my links mixed up.

She was fucking shaking and crying and you actually want people to go through with that just to prove something to you?

It was hard enough for her to come out to her friends and family and now she has to deal with assholes who don't even accept her for who she is and are supposed to be on her side.

Attraction is based on a million different things. But I'm guessing you're a trans woman and like men, feel entitled to women's bodies. The thought that a lesbian might not be attracted to you enfuriates you.
You can be attracted/unattracted to someone based on their smell. Is thay discrimination? No it's natural.

It'd got nothing to do with someone's past. If she doesn't like the way they look, act, smell, speak…it's completely within her right to admit she's not attracted to them. And she certainly doesn't have to be attracted to someone who feels ENTITLED to her body. She's not attracted to a floral skirt or someone who wears lipstick.

The only somewhat logical argument I could think of is "But they can't have children", and even that 1) implies that infertile/barren cis women somehow don't count as women 2) reduces women and the concept of being female to mere reproductive potential, which is pretty misogynistic.

In this case the same applies to lesbian woman who are prejudice against trans woman. Maybe as a collective your not attracted to trans woman but would the lesbian woman turn me down even though she fell in love? Just because she was prejudice in the past?

You sound young and maybe the thought of dating someone because they're romantically attractive to you is appealing. Sure you can hold hands with and go on dates with people you're not even sexually attracted to just because it's fun.
But sex is a different thing. That's why they call it a "sexuality". When she says she's a lesbian she's saying she's romantically and SEXUALLY attracted to women. Biological women. Gays, lesbians and bisexuals existed before the modern definition of "trans" people and they have always referred to biological (cis) men/women.

My view on "trans issues"
-I have no problem calling people what they want, it doesn't affect me. If you want to be called him/her/they IDC
-I don't really know how I feel about their being a "third gender" ("non binary gender") but honestly I don't think It's a big deal if someone wants to be called "they". In some cultures there are third genders so idk how I feel about it really. That being said it's not a huge issue in my life or a big moral issue if someone wants to be called this.
-I do think a lot of "trans" MTF are perverts, I've met two of these who aren't exactly "female" but more like its a fetish to them.
-I have been close to a MTF trans person who was a totally normal "Girl". She doesn't have a weird cross dressing fetish, passes pretty well, does her makeup/hair, has a lot of girl friend etc.
As per the bathroom Issue, I think having a single room bathroom that can be used for anyone who wants to use it including trans people. This way no one feels uncomfortable (cis men or women can use their own bathrooms, trans people get their own and have privacy/safer for everyone imo)
I do think it gets to retard point when people are like "I indenitify as a demi fox kin race" or whatever but I've never met anyone like this.
I also don't think trans women can speak over biological women on womens issues. they did not live as a woman so they really don't have much say in that. In things such as abortion, breastfeeding, etc.
I also think that when a trans women enters something for the first time, she should be known as "the first TRANS women to do x" vs "the first biological woman".

No one is overriding anyone's consent just because they don't bend over and worship every decision they make.

like, if someone is just a drag queen/fetishist, or is making people call them xey/xie made up special snowflake otherkin-level pronouns, those are entirely different stories from actual, legitimate trans people who have to deal with shitty life-ruining dysphoria and it amazes me that you can't separate those very different types of situations and respect an actual trans person. i don't rly believe the NB agender thing either but i've got friends who prefer to identify as that (2 of them are girls who have been raped or had sexual trauma in their childhoods so idk i feel like it might be a way of coping with fucked up shit that happened to them) and if calling them they makes them more comfortable why should i give a flying fuck? it's their life. i understand that anon with the lesbian friend who felt attacked for her sexual preferences, but why would you take that scenario and blame all pre-op trans girls for that as if every MTF is just trying to trick every lesbian on the planet into sex? why do yall care so fucking much when it doesn't affect you?? at all? ?whatsoever???
i agree with the majority of anon opinions on lolcow but goddamn the whole throwing the word "tranny" around and assuming every single transgender person is in it for attention to the point of purposefully disrespecting simple shit like normal pronouns makes me so uncomfortable. i feel like i'm on some MRA forum, like i realize we're all anonymous here but is it impossible to wish for people to chill with the over the top misplaced hatred?

No. 114042
Here's my big take on the whole matter.
First off, I want to state that I do not hate transgendered people. I do not believe they should be harassed or killed or anything because they are transgendered. I think it is sad I have to preface my opinion with this, but there you go.
I do not believe in brain sex, firstly because the study upon which people lay all their evidence, was done on post mortem brains of mtf that had been on hormones for I think some as long as 40 years. Naturally their brain structures started to change. But if you take two infants, male and female, and scan their brain, you wouldn't know which was which. Brain differences develop due to mostly hormonal differences, and males and females produce different quantities of hormones. Thus, a the brain of a transgendered teenage boy doesn't look like a girls brain until he is on hormone therapy, and even then, for many many years. Now, this is reducing biological differences between men and women down to just brain differences, which is incorrect.
There are a host of other biological characteristics that make one male or female, primary and secondary sex traits, and so on. My point in saying all of this isn't to be an asshole, and again, I do not hate or even dislike, transgendered people. I just don't believe they are the sex they feel they are.
I believe they suffer terribly from a mental illness, and absolutely funds should be put towards helping them find relief in a way that doesn't hurt their bodies, such as surgery. Yes, suicide rates drop after SRS, but actually, after several years, goes back up. It is not a long term viable solution to help people. I believe transgendered people deserve better.
I believe behavioral/psychiatric therapies and medications should be researched to help their dysphoria/dysmoprhia, but money all seems to be going towards hormones and surgeries, which is a travesty, especially since children are now getting thrown into all this.
I don't appreciate recent attempts to break down woman only environments, like locker rooms and battered women shelters, and women only colleges, by the mainstream transgendered ideology. But I recognize a lot of transgendered people probably don't support the mainstream ideology either.
End of the day, no, I don't consider them a woman anymore than I consider a schizophrenic person really being followed by the FBI, but I wouldn't go up to either of them and deliberately try and upset them.

If you have a perfectly healthy body and you want to mutilate and destroy it with makeshift genitalia surgery and drugs just so you can 'feel' like the gender you want to be, go fuck yourself.

Also, being a woman is about being born that way and presenting as such to the general populace, and that's pretty much it. The first one doesn't matter as much socially if the second one is fulfilled. Biologically? Yes, it does. In any other aspect, not really. Arguing that the way society treats you is what makes you a woman is way too broad and naive. Women have all sorts of roles in different societies, and different ways of being treated. Oppression of some sort (even on a small scale) is basically the most uniform trend, but attributing oppression to an identity is fucked up. I'm sure that if an entire society treated a man in a way you attribute with how a woman is treated, you'd still insist it was a man despite ~the way society treats you is what makes you a woman uwu~.

As someone who has done considerable research on trans women specifically, the right wing fag on here almost has a point.
I do believe gender dysphoria is real, and that men who transition in to women for all intents and purposes are women, and should be treated as such.
However, there is a concept known as "autogynephilia" which involves the fetishization of being a woman, and in some cases is more of a motivating factor to transition than gender dysphoria. It sounds creepy at the surface, but the more I studied it, the more it seemed to contribute to the need/desire to be living as a woman full time. These people hate living in their bodies as men. To the point of being nearly suicidal. They try EVERYTHING else before transitioning. Anything they can to be more of a "man". These people are more likely to be firefighters, for example (extremely masculine profession), be a "guy's guy," marry and have a family in order to suppress it. Therapy. Nothing works. These people are also more likely to transition later in life. The fetitization of womanhood at a young age contributes to this, but it is not the underlying cause of their gender identity.
The point is, nothing else helps them. They need to transition to feel like themselves. We try to imagine feeling this way but we just can't. And the more society can be accepting/accomadating of this, the less likely they are to marry someone as a man and decide to transition when they are like, 60, Bruce Jenner style. A chance to actually be their true self at a young age.
Of course I mean this to a point. The SJW I'm a queer-transracial-furrykin and my pronoun is xenu shit is fucking ridiculous and a mockery of the true issues. For every attention seeking type idiot there is a truly hurting person out there who really doesn't want all this, and just wants to be herself.

The thought of getting your dick chopped off or your vag turned in to a penis is horrific for you, right? Because we are comfortable with the gender and sex we have been given since birth. For them, that horrific image/feeling is as though their dick has been chopped off (or vice versa) at birth without their consent, & that they've been assigned the wrong gender their whole lives.
No. 114108
>>114095I meant it as metaphor. Not that they actually feel it, but the pain is as horrific as being assigned a different gender/sex without their consent.
>>114097I would only say this as an anon on this board, but I actually agree with you. I've thought a lot about it since my research and I feel the same way. It DID used to be in the DSM as a mental illness to be treated otherwise. The thing is, I'm not trans, and the community has voices that transitioning helps. I've also seen others, albeit a small minority, say they wish that there was a treatment that allowed them to just live as their assigned gender and be fine with it. Unfortunately, there just isn't anything out there medication or treatment wise that would do that. So idk. It's a very unique issue.
That said, I do wonder where we draw the line. Why was it so taboo when that chick came out over the summer as basically being "transracial," leading her chapter of the NAACP or whatever and basically trying to pass as black. That's completely absurd (and Atlanta did a really great episode making fun of that a few weeks ago btw lol. Everyone should check out that show if they like Childish Gambino/Donald Glover). But why is something like that so absurd, but trans sexuality has come to be accepted? These are the kind of things I wonder about, and don't necessarily have answers for. At least not answers that I feel are 100% reasonably sound.

You can have your leg lopped off if you consistently believe for a long period of time that it's making you miserable or is somehow bad, assuming you don't have any other signs of psychosis of course.
If nothing else works, this is the best therapy available.
>>114097Those aren't at all comparable. None of those things reduce the persons distress. An anorexic will just want to be skinnier. A schizophrenic will still be psychotic. A depressed person would be more depressed.

You're ignoring that having a mental illness doesn't actually mean you're necessarily wrong about what you're saying, either. Gender dysphoria is not psychotic in nature, and isn't considered to be a delusional disorder.

>SRS is a treatment for a severe form of gender dysphoriaWikipedia:
>Gender dysphoria or gender identity disorder (GID) is the dysphoria (distress) a person experiences as a result of the sex and gender they were assigned at birth. A successful treatment for gender dysphoria would make the patients identify as their birth sex. Sounds like SRS doesn't treat gender dysphoria. Now what tranny?
>If you can only raise points that are the same ones that the far right use, Uh… what points are referring to? Let's see, the biggest reason I hate trannies is because they actively promote gender roles and reduce the female identity to external trappings.

>>113833I'd also like to raise the similarity between what you're saying and the idea that homosexuality in itself was a mental illness that could be treated by "making them heterosexual again", that ignored the huge social stigma on those people that led to a significant part of their distress (Which is a factor here, and is discussed in the linked post).
>Let's see, the biggest reason I hate trannies is because they actively promote gender roles and reduce the female identity to external trappings.Sounds to me like you're talking about Tumblr sorts that are only trans because it's trendy honestly.
Sure, trans people tend to want to exert an image of themselves as the opposite gender, but I don't really see how that reduces femininity to a purely external thing.

His reasoning based on that article seems pretty fucking slim, and seems to completely ignore that it's a huge violation of your responsibility to care for your patients to refuse a treatment that has been proven to alleviate their dysphoria simply because you don't want to do it. Maybe not illegal, but is fucking terrible form for a medical professional.

You can't just lump all disorders linked to the way someone views their body all into one, because they're fundamentally different.

Cosmetic surgery is literally just that. Surgery to make you look better, as opposed to plastic surgery, which is focused on repairing defects.
So what you're bitching about isn't even cosmetic surgery.
Here's a source
>http://www.americanboardcosmeticsurgery.org/patient-resources/cosmetic-surgery-vs-plastic-surgery/I'm really not sure what you're trying to complain about here. Are you trying to say that one is elective and one isn't? Because they both are. Are you complaining about insurance? What are you even saying?
>My point was and has always been that my sentiments toward trannies and transgenderism alone was enough for you to label me as a far right, even if it could be the ONLY thing I have in common with the far right. Why?Because you raise the exact same points as every /pol/ retard who thinks he knows better than everyone else simply because he does ends up raising, and then (assuming you're the same person), assumed that everyone who attempts to support trans people is some Tumblr sort. Not to mention you constantly calling me trans. Don't bitch about people stereotyping you while you do the same shit.
>It's not a strawman unless you can explain to me how exactly with your logic you wouldn't reach the same conclusion.It's a strawman because the entire image of trans people is false. It's you creating an argument and then attacking it instead of actually addressing my point. It's also a poor form of redirection away from what I was saying.
>Your reason on why it's shit is so retarded you must be trolling.Really, with analogies like this, you shouldn't be calling anyone retarded.
It would be more accurate to go
>Here is a wing that is most commonly found within this family of birds>However, it is also seen in some other species, though much less commonly>Therefore, it stands to reason that this wing does in fact belong to one of the original family of birds, though you can't say for certain what species it isThat is more accurate because I could only see one aspect of your political views, that is most commonly found among /pol/ style far right sorts, and simply agreed that you were probably one of those, though I didn't specify your particular political ideology.
>What is the basis of what you're saying then, and how did I ignore it?See above.

Anyway, so, let's talk about agenda pushing to reclassify GID on the DSM to a non-mental issue. Because as a 'mental disorder' (which we KNOW it is) it makes poor trans fee-fees less legit. I think that's crazy. If they do that, then they'll have to classify eating disorders are a non-mental issue then, I suppose. Since body dysphoria is clearly not a mental illness. It's like, clearly you have some issues if you need to contemplate SRS to even 'function' normally.
No. 114393
>>114391I've been arguing pro-trans in this thread, and I agree it's ridiculous. GID isn't saying that transexualism is a mental illness, it's saying that the dysphoria is, and needs to be treated. Most people with it aren't fully trans, they don't want to transition, that's just the most extreme form of it (same as most people with anorexia aren't walking skeletons, just thin).
Taking it out of the DSM would be ignoring all the people with it who do want treatment, and to who therapy is effective.
I honestly think that politics should just stay out of medicine completely. It's just completely irrelevant, if something fits the criteria of a mental illness, it should be listed as one (assuming it's not just a subtype of an existing one), regardless of if some retards on the internet get all
triggered by it.
I think it's most Tumblr sorts that are only trans because it's trendy who talk like that, to mostly everyone who actually suffers, transitioning is absolutely a last resort thing, because it's a huge decision to make, and people end up riddled with doubt before they do it. A lot who end up signing up for it end up not going through with it as a result of this.

It's entirely based off the idea of correlation equalling causation, which is completely false and against the scientific method.
And either way, you seem to be acting like either theory somehow disagrees with SRS, which is false. Here's a quote

Before you cry "but the non SRS suicide rate is higher!" prove it. There is no good statistics. the 41% statistic that everyone likes to tout is simply untrue. Even the National Transgender Discrimination Survey says:

But, here you go
>http://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/AFSP-Williams-Suicide-Report-Final.pdf>Suicide attempts among trans men (46%) and trans women (42%)
Now, this is obviously talking about suicide attempts, but it would be dumb to talk about successful suicides, because that's simply impacted by way too many environmental factors.
>http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0016885There's several studies talking about suicide rates in post op individuals linked there.
But really, I want to highlight how irrelevant that is to the efficiency of SRS. The treatment improves their functioning overall, and greatly alleviates gender dysphoria. I have linked plenty of studies supporting this.
We don't not give schizophrenics anti-psychotics because it doesn't entirely take the suicide rate back to normal. We don't not give people with Bipolar mood stabilisers for the same reason, because in both of those cases, the post-treatment suicide rate tends to be caused by other things, coming to terms with where their live is in the aftermath of their illness, coping with social stigma, loads of environmental factors.

Additionally, they used some pretty shady methods such as nonrandom selection, screams selection bias. So, they picked the people they wanted to be in the study. Interesting.

>Very low quality evidence suggests that sex reassignment that includes hormonal interventions in individuals with GID likely improves gender dysphoria, psychological functioning and comorbidities, sexual function and overall quality of life.they even admit the studies they look at are
very low quality. Ever hear of
So you deliberately misrepresented the strength of the results of the study by omitting this fun little line. How interesting, you aren't biased at all, are you?
Here's some more from the
full article:
>The evidence in this review is of very low quality due to the serious methodological limitations of included studies.>Studies lacked bias protection measures such as randomization and control groups, and generally depended on self-report to ascertain the exposure (i.e. hormonal therapy was self-reported as opposed to being extracted from medical records). >Our reliance on reported outcome measures may also indicate a higher risk of reporting bias within the studies.Pass.

>How interesting, you aren't biased at all, are you? As opposed to you, who's simply just decided to dismiss all the data provided because it's not good enough for you.
The fact is, the data we do have shows that it is effective. Even the much quoted swedish study shows that it's effective.
You can't just come in and go "Yeah well these aren't the best studies, so what I believe is right, despite me providing absolutely no studies".
>>114470>See >>114469 on why your studies are terrible and clearly just picked to support your argument.I'll repeat myself. I've never claimed that they were perfect studies. But I'm actually the only person who's provided any studies so far supporting my claims, instead of just asserting that they're true.
The data we do have supports my claims, and is evidently high enough quality that both the APA and AMA agree that SRS and hormone therapy are efficient treatments for this disorder.
You sperging out about how I only posted the summaries from the studies doesn't actually disprove this. The abstract gives an overview of what's contained within, and as such is appropriate for when I'm trying to do just that.
Keep trying though, maybe if you dismiss some more studies it'll cause some to magically appear and support you, and change the two most relevant medical bodies in the US's opinion of the treatment.

>>114471To clarify what I'm saying here, I'm not arguing that the data I have is the best it could possibly be. At all.
I'm simply using the data that I do have to support the evidence provided in the swedish study (which is much larger scale), that says that SRS is effective, but that we do need to keep people who've had it in therapy after, because it doesn't automatically cure all their problems.
If you have some super high quality data that blows all of this out of the water though, I'm always open to learning, so please post it.

>Can you please prove this?Prove that I have access to the paper? Yes, I can. I can get it through my university's ILL. I'm in graduate school, I can get access to a lot of different papers. It isn't hard if you are in academia. I looked through the paper and that is how I was able to tell you that you picked, from source 1, in a nonrandom manner.
>Same as above. Otherwise I can just claim that I do too and it has a sample size of 12 million.>And you realise that psychiatric studies are almost always small scale, right? You don't need thousands of people. Lol, okay, so the person who only reads abstracts and regurgitates what other sites say is trying to say I'm the one making shit up. Nah. I looked at the papers that you keep trying to shove down people's throats. They are laughably bad designs. Honestly. Small sample sizes. bad. No bias protection. BAD.
>Do you know what that means anon? It doesn't mean the data isn't there, or shouldn't be relied on, it means that we need more research to be done, but that from what we do have, it shows that it absolutely is an effective treatment.No, you are clearly the one who doesn't know what it means. Low quality studies
severely limit the validity of the conclusions that can be drawn from them.
You have claimed several times in this threads that SRS is awesome. By listening to really bad studies. You don't see how ridiculous that is? You haven't been saying "SRS may or may not be good, based on the very limited evidence of very limited studies on very limited populations with not-so-great designs" nah you just go for "SRS cures it all!" Very dishonest and disingenuous, and frankly, bullshit.
>The fact is, the data we do have shows that it is effective. Even the much quoted swedish study shows that it's effective.The data isn't good. I can find data that vaccines cause autism. Very, very bad data. Do you understand?
>You can't just come in and go "Yeah well these aren't the best studies, so what I believe is right, despite me providing absolutely no studies".I simply deconstructed some of the articles you were flouting as complete fact. You linked bad studies. All I did was come by and told you why they were terrible studies.
>I'll repeat myself. I've never claimed that they were perfect studies. But I'm actually the only person who's provided any studies so far supporting my claims, instead of just asserting that they're true.And again, your studies can't prove anything, because they are poorly designed. And again, I can find shitty studies that say cigarettes don't cause cancer, does that mean they're true?
>You sperging out about how I only posted the summaries from the studies doesn't actually disprove this. The abstract gives an overview of what's contained within, and as such is appropriate for when I'm trying to do just that.Here, i'll do you a favor:
http://www.skepticalob.com/2013/01/why-reading-the-abstract-of-a-scientific-paper-isnt-enough.htmlYou reading the abstracts lead you to very wrong conclusions. If you had looked earnestly at the full papers, you would have seen the glaring design flaws as well, but let's be honest, you don't
want to see them, so you copy and paste from abstracts with no context. Again, you can't try and act like some scientific authority when you do something so sketchy.
>Keep trying though, maybe if you dismiss some more studies it'll cause some to magically appear and support you, and change the two most relevant medical bodies in the US's opinion of the treatment.You are reaching hard now.

>>114473>To clarify what I'm saying here, I'm not arguing that the data I have is the best it could possibly be.

Sorry if I came off aggressive. I enjoy discussing things, and honestly, would rather have a civil conversation than a fight.
As for me, whether SRS works or not is not even the most interesting part of the whole transsexual narrative, to me it efforts to make sure trasnsexual individuals feel "validated" through such things as bathroom laws and etc. I personally am against MTF being able to go to women only colleges.

>Prove that I have access to the paper? Yes, I canPlease do so then.
>No, you are clearly the one who doesn't know what it means. Low quality studies severely limit the validity of the conclusions that can be drawn from them.Anon, I'm really not sure what you're not getting here. Not only have you miquoted the study to say "low quality studies" instead of evidence, which is drastically different, but you're also going "well, because your data isn't good enough to make a 100% conclusive statement off, despite even the single analysis I'm focusing on saying that it does support what you're saying, it means I'm right".
>nah you just go for "SRS cures it all!" Very dishonest and disingenuous, and frankly, bullshit. It's bullshit because I never said that. I said SRS seems to alleviate gender dysphoria and improve global functioning in people with severe cases of GID. Which from the evidence that's out there, seems to be true. That data is clearly high enough quality for the APA and AMA to agree with me on that.
>The data isn't good. I can find data that vaccines cause autism. Very, very bad data. Do you understand?Kek, please find me some published studies that show that vaccines cause autism.
>I simply deconstructed some of the articles you were flouting as complete fact. You linked bad studies. All I did was come by and told you why they were terrible studies.No, you dismissed them completely. Not pointing out that they had flaws, you focused on those flaws and then completely dismissed them, and then ignored a good half of the provided studies, including the largest scale one that still supported what I said.
>And again, your studies can't prove anything, because they are poorly designed.But anon, even the meta-analysis you're focusing on agrees that they do support it. And that also isn't discussing the largest of my linked studies, being the swedish study.
>You reading the abstracts lead you to very wrong conclusions. If you had looked earnestly at the full papers, you would have seen the glaring design flaws as well, but let's be honest, you don't want to see them, so you copy and paste from abstracts with no contexThese "glaring design flaws" being things that are almost impossible to bypass, and aren't at all considered to be glaring design flaws in psychiatric studies, as they almost always are small scale?
>You are reaching hard now. I never made any claims, except that the studies YOU have provided are very bad. You sound incredibly defensive.No shit I'm defensive, you came in on the offensive and I defended. That's how this works.
Seriously. Even if we assume that those studies are all terrible, doesn't the fact that they all come to the same conclusion as each other and much larger scale studies support the idea that they might still be arriving at an accurate conclusion?
And don't play the "I'm just an unbiased third party" shit when you've exclusively attacked the pro-trans side of things, and not even mentioned the incredibly fallacious argument of the opposition here, or how they've provided no data whatsoever supporting their claims. All I've been saying is that I believe what I'm saying because I've seen a good amount of evidence for it, and in the absence of any against this, it seems ridiculous to go "Must be wrong still, those studies aren't perfect". Not that I'm objectively correct, simply that going off the information we have now, my claim has way more support.
>>114476That's fair enough, though I'm sure you can understand why I'm cautious to believe that you're completely unbiased here.
As I said, I'm the only person who's provided ANY data supporting my claims. It's not like I'm just cherrypicking shit and ignoring the wealth of high quality info I'm being shown here, I'm just going off what I've seen, and what the relevant medical authorities also believe.
Because even if it is low quality data, it does all seem to support the claim that SRS is effective, and much higher quality ones do also support this.
I apologise for any aggression on my behalf too, including the earlier segments of this post.
>I personally am against MTF being able to go to women only colleges.Eh, I kind of think that if you're legally considered a gender, you should be treated as that gender.
I'm against any organisation that restricts itself based on gender though, I find that to be completely ridiculous and entirely unnecessary.
No. 114479
>>114477I am going to drop the aggressive side too now, honestly, I don't like fighting, but I just wanted to caution against using those studies the way you were. Saying "SRS fixes dysphoria" and "SRS appears, with limited evidence, to alleviate dysphoria" are very different statements, and one of my big issues about the trans ideology lately is use of scientific studies really inappropriately to prove points as if they are conclusive, when they are still on very shaky grounds. Yeah, small sample sizes may be a common (and again, not good) part of these kinds of studies, but the lack of bias protection are
very concerning, and not excusable as small sample sizes may be.
I can get you all of those papers if you want to drop a fake e-mail.
I resent being assumed to be anti-trans, just because I am skeptical of the limited evidence concerning SRS. I do not agree with discrimination of trans individuals in jobs and housing and such, and being harassed/assaulted. To me that seems to be very basic, but I guess yeah, there really are some looney toons out there who are violently "anti" trans people.
However, I support the hard won sex based protections that feminists have fought for in countries the world over, and can see how current trans ideology can dismantle really important work done in that sector. I also am suspicious of the current narrative in the context of homophobia, and the "trans-ing" of potentially gay/lesbian children. That's my concerns and to me it is so much more complicated than quick snippy comments can explain.

>>114479>I am going to drop the aggressive side too now, honestly, I don't like fighting, but I just wanted to caution against using those studies the way you were.Nah, all good, I simply assumed you were because you only mentioned my side.
And I can see what you're saying, and obviously this isn't objective. When I say "it fixes dysphoria", I absolutely do just mean that from what evidence we have, it does seem to.
>one of my big issues about the trans ideology lately is use of scientific studies really inappropriately to prove points as if they are conclusive, when they are still on very shaky grounds. I agree, more research needs to be done. But I'd argue that the opposition is far more guilty of this than the people who are pro trans rights. You can see that in this thread, even in just my discussions with people.
>I can get you all of those papers if you want to drop a fake e-mail. Sure, here's an old one

>I resent being assumed to be anti-trans, just because I am skeptical of the limited evidence concerning SRSAnd that's fair enough, though I find that in any discussion of these topics, it's always just easiest to state your beliefs before you start talking about stuff, unless it's super obvious.
>However, I support the hard won sex based protections that feminists have fought for in countries the world over, and can see how current trans ideology can dismantle really important work done in that sector.I think that the whole trans rights movement has been co-opted by those insane Tumblr sorts that are just in on it because it's trendy, and want to be seen as more progressive than the next.
My support for trans people goes as far as "If they're legally speaking listed as a gender, treat them as that gender", because that seems like the basis of what being transexual is to me, that you want to be that other gender. Apart from that, from what I've seen, for severe cases that do want to transition, SRS does seem to alleviate their dysphoria and improve global functioning, and I think it's dumb to try to say it shouldn't be allowed simply because there might be a better alternative in the future. In fact, as far as I see it, that goes completely against the responsibility to care for and give a patient access to effective treatment for their illnesses that any medical entity (from hospitals to doctors) has.
And yeah, I agree with children completely. Most trans kids do seem to grow out of it, and I don't think most people even entirely understand gender until they're almost adults anyway.

I wish there were more room for gender critical and "pro" trans to talk and discuss.
>I think that the whole trans rights movement has been co-opted by those insane Tumblr sorts that are just in on it because it's trendy, and want to be seen as more progressive than the next. I think it is ironic that the tumblr trans right movement that is seen as most progressive is honestly the most regressive form. It is so contingent on rigid gender roles and such that I can't believe it at times. I always thought the progressive stance was being against gender haha which is what I am.
As for treatments, it gets really sticky when you consider whether SRS should be a right (should trans prisoners get SRS? housed with opposite sexed inmates?) and again, considering the dangers involved, and with detransition being a thing, whether gate keeping is strong enough (I definitely don't think there is enough gate keeping).
It's all so messy, and to me that is the most important part to discuss I guess.

>Personally, I'd say the "pro" trans are more guilty of scientific dishonesty with over generalizing studies, and the "anti" trans are more guilty of pure 'feelings' as in "ew gross tranny" if that makes sense. That definitely does, and generally I'd agree with that, except the Swedish study is really misquouted by people like that a lot. The original source I gave focused on dispelling the misinterpretations of that study in fact.
>I think it is ironic that the tumblr trans right movement that is seen as most progressive is honestly the most regressive form. It is so contingent on rigid gender roles and such that I can't believe it at times.I mean, I think it's a hard balance. Obviously gender stereotypes exist, and they do create an image of masculinity or femininity. So for a trans person, who feels like they're the wrong gender, it makes sense that they'd want to portray themselves as as masculine or feminine as they could, which tends to come out through stereotypes. I don't think that's a harmful thing necessarily, or that they're encouraging that (there's really not that many trans people around to even be able to make a big difference on our views of gender stereotypes day to day as far as I see it), but it's simply the easiest way they can try to show themselves as the "correct" gender.
>As for treatments, it gets really sticky when you consider whether SRS should be a right (should trans prisoners get SRS? housed with opposite sexed inmates?)Yeah, it gets complex there, but once again, I think it should be a legal thing. If you're a transitioned trans prisoner, you should go in with whatever gender you've transitioned to. And as to if they should get SRS in prison, I think it should be case by case. If they're so bad that they're being kept in a psychiatric unit in the prison? Then yeah, maybe it should be considered, so they can be more effectively rehabilitated.
>I definitely don't think there is enough gate keepingOnce again, I'd agree. I think that there's way too much politics being injected into the whole issue, and doctors are scared of being seen a certain way.
Though I don't think it's exactly easy to get SRS at all, it does take a long time to get to the point where you're actually going through with the procedure, I think we do need to be a bit stricter with who can overall. For example, children should just not be allowed to, full stop. Maybe at age 16 and up they can make that decision, because they can make their own medical decisions overall then (in my country at least), but not before then.
It's an issue that because it is so divisive, kind of forces people to be very over the top with how they view it I think. Like, if someone is going "This is the worst thing ever", going "Well there's some data that says it's not" isn't exactly compelling to anyone seeing it, whereas going "Data says it's not" is more so. The divisiveness furthers more divisiveness, and it's a result of people on both sides putting their emotions first.

tbqh fam I don't believe transphobia is really its own "thing" no average person looks at a man in a dress and think "transgender" they just think "gay man" "fairy" "effeminate" "fag" "queer" etc etc etc, so basically, it's homophobia. People don't like seeing effeminate men or masculine women, and the thought of transgender doesn't enter their head, they just assume GAY which to the average person gay = eww.
And anyways, I also don't buy into the belief that transphobia, as a derivative of homophobia, is even that bad as a ~social oppression~. The worst thing that 99% of transgender people can bitch about is "misgendering!" and "b-bathrooms!" The only trans people ACTUALLY facing any danger, and inflating the statistics, are black MTF hookers. Yeah, they really do face lots of danger. However….
Your typical white middle-class MTF is literally in no danger except of being called a fag and misgendered. That isn't violence, but apparently it is ~LITERALLY KILL THEM~. Hell, there has never even been a case of a MTF attacked in a male bathroom. So why do they want in women's bathrooms? But there has been MTF that have attacked women in women's bathrooms, see Patrick Hagan who punched a lady because she misgendered him which to him was a "hate crime".
To me it all circles back to wanting to be validated, which, you know what it isn't anyone else's job to validate whatever identity you have in your head. Hurt feelings isn't violence. Being told to use their birth sex bathrooms if they aren't absolutely passing isn't literally killing them.
tl;dr transphobia probably is just misguided homophobia and for the majority of transgender people in the west it only amounts to being misgendered at worst, and is that seriously worth the amount of coverage they get for such a small tiny infinitesimal part of society?
No. 114555
tbh I used to be a HUGE supporter of tranny rights. Last year I used to even say shit like "transwomen are biological women" lol but when I actually read more about trannies instead of blindly following leftist cult mindset it swung me so far to the other side of the pendulum and I'm not going back
One of the mainnn things that got to me was hearing little boys wanting transition because "i like dresses and play with dolls!" (literally read any news article about some transgender kid) like holy shit, how is that NOT gender stereotypical? why can't they still be a boy and like playing with dolls? also some of it just seems like homosexual conversion therapy to me tbh…I know one FTM who used to be a lesbian that transitioned this year, I feel like all the heterosexual in the world got to them and they would rather be with a woman as a "man" and not deal with homophobia all the time, I feel the same about feminine gay men transitioning.
And then I came to the conclusion that there are three types of trannies. The lesbians/gay ones that transition because of homophobia, then the straight ones who transition because of fetish, and then the old 40-50 year old males who transition cuz of autogynephilia.
Like holy shit, the group of trannies I hate the most are MTF lesbians. I see them on tumblr and twitter all the time, harassing lesbians into liking their dicks are yelling at them for being exclusively into vagina cuz that's transphobic…and yet you hardly see FTMS harassing cock obsessed gay men into having sex with their vagina. Like there's literally some post on tumblr with 100k+ notes about how lesbian means ur attracted to "women" and not vagina, and there are essays about how lesbians are "socially cultured"??? into thinking dicks "are male???" so they have to get rid of their prejudice and sleep with their tranny dicks??? YET WHERE ARE THE POSTS ABOUT THIS FOR GAY MEN…do you guys know what I mean lol it's almost like I dunno, MTF Lesbians are actually males trying to coerce women into having sex with them? IDK I just feel so bad for lesbians that are getting hurt the most cuz of these crazy ass trannies
the other type of EVENTS that are getting to me is that like…the mention of vulva, vagina gets you labelled as a terf? How do I say this…like I never cared abt period art before or whatever but I noticed a lot of trannies and their handmaidens telling women to stop making period feminist art cuz it triggers them or whatever. And I feel like what that basically results in females being taught to be ashamed about their bodily functions that are already considered shameful? Universities are even cancelling the vagina monologues because VAGINA. It's literally males telling us to stop talking about our bodies. I hate it. and I roll my eyes whenever trannies try to stop people from saying "pregnant women" or "women get periods/have uteruses"
also I get reallll mad when I see a tranny win a woman award or in some list like "women in tech" (ESPCIALLY the ones that "transitioned" late) it's frankly offensive that a male, who never got told young "as a woman u need to focus on ur family and not work", who never got told that as a woman their appearance is worth more than academics, who never got sexually harassed by dudebros in tech, who will never get their job threatened or fall behind because of pregnancy etc get acknowledged for being a "brave woman in STEM!" or some shit like no fck u, you don't deserve that title you never faced half the prejudice growing up that a real working woman would have
i realized the whole thing is absurd, a male cannot become a female and vice versa, u cannot change every cell in ur body that contains a Y chromosome to become an X chromosome. We'll never be in the same boat cuz trannies are not women, tranny ideology is anti-women and anti-feminist
this was all over the place, really long but I could even go on and on more about why I hate trannies now and I didn't even get to my annoyance of the NON BINARY faction of trannies
tl:dr; used to be a supporter of trannies, now am against them cuz they perpetuate gender stereotypes and shaming of female biology
No. 114556
>>114555Exactly. I feel the same way but I could never put it in those words because it's confusing. They perpetuate so many gender stereotypes like it's the 50's yet they want people to have progressive, open minds about transitioning into another gender.

If you don't have a uterus you cannot get a period. They don't bleed, they're not shedding uterine lining. What's next, trannies can get pregnant too?
And overall…I feel like lesbians (or women in general) are an easier group than straight men for MTFS to pick on so they do. And for fucks sake, what is up with all the lesbian subedits having MTF mods? Even /r/actuallylesbians is like 2/3 tranny mods. Imagine if a gay man subreddit has 2/3 FTM mods? Madness.

I hold no opinion on transfolk outside of what is proven by science and at this stage little to nothing has proved nor disproved transsexualism so basically we have an issue of both sides shit flinging whether it's a thing or not until a real objective basis can be founded. We lack the technology and knowledge for this so argument can't yet be had.
I have full confidence that the problem will be solved by science it's not a political "far-right", or "leftist" issue I don't understand why people must affix politics to pragmatic issues.
Currently trannies are seen as mentally ill, and it's fair to think this in a laymans perspective hacking off limbs is a sympton of the mentally ill and I can't stand how "treatment" for trannies is essentially butchering themselves, pumping themselves full of dangerous and unstable proto-oncogen hormones at risk of developing tumors or other harmful mutagens and ideologically brainwashing themselves to become a sad imitation of what they believe they truly are. The whole system makes me sick but even then I can't lament for transfolk because of their latent vanity, narcissism, and provocative attention seeking behavior. The voice of the few transfolk that suffer are never heard and all that are seen by the public are disgusting fetishizing, oversexualized insults to women (MTF is much more common than FTM) I don't know shit about the issue but It would be fair to assume that this could be caused by the hypersexualized libido of men as opposed to the more balanced libido among mean numbers of women.
Another thing I can't stand is the conflation of gayness with trannies because gayness was once defined as a mental illness, this false equivocation pisses me off so much not only is it offensive to gay people it just gripes me that they equivocate a sexual orientation with a freak-show mental illness and identity crisis.

Whether the last accusation was right or not, when someone's been clearly sperging out throughout the whole thread, pretending to be multiple people all posting the exact same opinion within a couple hours and then no posts of that kind for a while after, it's a pretty solid assumption to make.
I don't really agree that the last poster was the same person though, they said something completely different and seemed far more reasonable overall.
I think people ignore that SRS is a last line treatment for the most severe cases too. It's like how ECT is a very last resort treatment for other serious mental illnesses. A lot of other treatments are tried out first, you don't just walk in and get approval for it.

A lot of other treatments are tried out first, you don't just walk in and get approval for it.In my country;New Zealand a news story which made the headlines the other day was about a transwomen pre-op who was outraged that they were put on the waiting list for sex reassignment surgery, they looked manly as fuck with no attempt to hide deep bellowing voice, it is publicly funded but like most publicly funded medical problems there's a long waiting list for this shit. It urks me how it uses by time and resources of doctors in my country that are very limited especially in rural regions are yelled at for their "incompetence" when they are busy dealing with serious issues. Dimentia, parkinsons disease and autism are becoming widespread pandemics in my country and trannies are outraged they won't get their free dick removal surgery.
If SRS is just as extreme as ECT than why do transpeople get treated like heroes when undergoing surgery. Part of the issue is how it's represented in the media remember the Kaitlin Jenner shit, a transperson will never be happy until they reach the invisible standard of "woman", it's indirectly harmful to mental illness sufferers and people with physical debilitating injuries to be put below trannies for the severity of their conditions.

>>115920>In my country;New Zealand a news story which made the headlines the other day was about a transwomen pre-op who was outraged that they were put on the waiting list for sex reassignment surgery
Yeah, I agree that it's silly people who throw tantrums about medical waiting lists, but people do it in general. They're suffering, it sucks to be told you have to wait to have that treated.
>It urks me how it uses by time and resources of doctors in my country that are very limited especially in rural regions are yelled at for their "incompetence" when they are busy dealing with serious issues.I think you're being kind of dismissive there. This is a serious issue, just different to the ones you listed. It can absolutely be something debilitating though, the severe cases often have very low global functioning.
>If SRS is just as extreme as ECT than why do transpeople get treated like heroes when undergoing surgery. I mean, I don't think how serious a disorder or treatment is should directly relate to how well it's treated in society.
SRS is just given more social attention because people feel like they can help in one way or another. People against it are sure that SRS shouldn't be a thing because to them it's disgusting and against their morals, and like to pretend they have a scientific basis for this, yet you look silly if you chuck a tantrum about anti-psychotics, despite them having similar effects in that they don't bring the morbidity back to normal levels straight after effective treatment.
>it's indirectly harmful to mental illness sufferers and people with physical debilitating injuries to be put below trannies for the severity of their conditions.I think you're once again treating the amount of attention something gets as how serious a disorder is considered to be.
To use an example, breast cancer gets a lot of attention, and while it is obviously very serious, it gets a lot less attention than other disorders that are much harder to detect, much more debilitating and much more lethal, even just within oncological disorders. People don't necessarily think that breast cancer is the worst form of cancer you can get, it's just that the ad campaigns about it have been more lucky and more effective at raising awareness.
Depression gets even more attention than these issues, despite it being (almost always, it obviously can be very severe, though these cases are very rare) less severe than even other mood disorders, ignoring psychotic ones or any number of other conditions.

Which reminds me of my friend who works in infosec/crypto which is stupidly infested by tranny male to females who constantly cry about how oppressed they are as women in a male dominated field. Hilarious, right?
One of her lead devs is a big, 6'4 really non-passing transwoman who has a bunch of 'women in tech' awards and gives talks about empowering women in STEM and a bunch of other BS stuff which, frankly, they have no business talking about considering they've spent about five years being a so called 'woman'. The other is a tranny on her team that is typical ugly blue hair tumblrite who constantly tries to bait my friend into 'men are so evil' conversations where he bitches nonstop about the evils of cis men. Nevermind that in reality, he is a dude and the only actual girl in the office is my friend.

But seriously, you're the only one claiming anyone got BTFO in this thread. You tried to jump on the back of other people, despite those people not agreeing with you in the slightest.
You constantly come back to go "Haha wow all those people calling samefag sure are autistic morons!", just to try to get more people to respond to you.
I'm not the only one who's been claiming this, there's been several other posters in the thread calling you out on it.

>argue for trannies>get BTFO'd>resorts to persistent samefagging attacks in order to derail the original argumentBut I wasn't BTFO, the person I was talking to stopped responding and just piggybacked on someone else who agreed with me but thought I'd made too strong a statement, and should have worded it slightly differently.
Also, once again, very telling you're using the exact same wording as literally the only person I've accused of samefagging in this thread.
>If you can, respond to the posts you once called samefagging with actual argumentsEvery single one I've mentioned being a samefag that also presented arguments, I addressed.
Not a single time have I just gone "lol samefag" to a post that actually raised any points.
Tell me though, do you honestly believe that these
>>115319>>115329>>115684As well as several earlier on, that all got posted within an hour of the original argument, all of whom just either post the exact same shit or insults of the opposition, and then disappar aren't samefags?
Because these are the only posts I've accused of it, I'm not the same person as
>>115842>>116077>>116097There's some later posts that I'd argue are samefaggotry too, namely

They think "it's OK, I'll just ignore it and it'll go away when I grow up" and then it just gets worse and worse as puberty progressing and dysphoria really sets in as their body changes to something the brain doesn't recognise. Then they hit adulthood and think "it's too late now, I'll bare with it" then it gets ignored until they either just learn to live or decide they can't cope any longer and look into transitioning.
If it becomes more accepted and kids/teens are no longer terrified of telling someone then more will be able to avoid puberty changes and transition in a way that passes more easily.

They kill themselves at rates above average, but this is true for a lot of mental disorders even after treatment.
Schizophrenics and Bipolar people kill themselves at a higher rate than average even after successfully treated too, but we obviously aren't going to stop medicating them, it just means they're still a risk group that needs follow up therapy.
I think it's important to remember that transitioning is treated similarly to stuff like ECT. A last resort treatment for really severe cases that haven't shown any improvement to other stuff. Not something you just give to everyone with related issues. It's too risky for that, and if it goes wrong, you can't really reverse it.

>>117112This is an asinine argument and shows you know nothing of modern genetics, XXY syndrome or the more studied one that I know of XYY syndrome or Jacobs syndrome are not evidence of an emerging "third sex" or whatever you want to argue, they aren't evidence of a intermediate and you must provide evidence for this claim. Hermaphrodites are not evidence they are genetic abnormalities with a very low rate of occurrence.
Men with XYY syndrome appear completely normal in most cases, with some not knowing they have it until they see their karyotype, some are infertile taller than average men, notably have wide hips or unusual feminine bone structure but the vast majority don't bother having their genome sequenced. My professor actually theorized that the Y chromosome is becoming redundant with each meiotic division during prezygotic reproduction this doesn't mean males will become extinct it means the genetic material carried by the Y chromosome is becoming redundant from the majority of useful enzymes/proteins creating genes which the X chromosomes carry, sex linked genes are hardly ever inherited by women (think female balding) because of the double X chromosome which cancels out the expression for the conditions genotype.
genetic abnormalities are not in support nor evidence of trannies. This is an argument from incredulity and misinformation.
Outside of the objectivity of the matter in my opinion it seems to be a fetish based thing certainly with great psychological and physiological impact but it has not been observed in primates nor the animal kingdom at the very least. Parallel this to gay behaviour for example which has been theorized to have a evolutionary origin and purpose at aiding survival of offspring ergo an adaptation and beneficial advantage likely to be selected for.

My money is on the fact that at the time of the video at least she also smelled like a girl and had soft skin.
Although at the end of the day I believe this is a feminine gay dude, despite my use of female pronouns. He's adopted the trappings of femininity to make himself more appealing to men, it's weird but it makes sense.
I'm totally with the radfems on this one, the SJW line about transitioning is maniacal enforcement of gender roles. In fact I think the SJW's are the most racist, sexist band of prescriptive bigots out there. There are no rules to say that dudes can't use moisturiser and grow long hair and bleach it, thus obtaining 'straight' dick (sexuality is a whole other discussion), but it doesn't make them women.
As for trans 'lesbians', the horniness, sluttiness, entitlement complex, demands for attention, sympathy, special treatment etc is insipid and makes me sick. Women are too damn nice. Can't we have a feminist movement in which women actually stand up for themselves instead of getting derailed by a band of perverts and nutjobs? The SJW tranny shit is a big reason feminism has gotten to be a dirty word IMO.

Cohabitants means any women that live with each other, and there's a heap more straight than gay women out there, so more women reporting being abused by male partners doesn't mean that men are overall more abusive.

I used to be into trans rights and believed gender dysphoria was a real issue that required surgeries and hormones, but honestly after reading up on the patients, I'm slowly turning into a TERF. A lot of detransitioners are criticizing medical field professionals because they don't offer any alternatives to gender dysphoria or talk about the risks and outcomes of the surgeries enough, and most of them didn't realize until after transition that they're actually cis, just gay. Most gender dysphoria is either trying to cope with either homosexuality or some kind of a sexual trauma such as molestation. Transitioning is a "partial suicide" so to speak.
No. 173257
>>173214As pretty much everyone arguing for trans people has said, it is a mental illness, but the best cure we have is gender reassignment.
Sure, sometimes people go through the surgery that shouldn't, and aren't really trans, just struggling with identity that leads into them experiencing some gender dysphoria, and that's something to work on.
But mentally ill people do deserve compassion and support, even if their treatment is slightly more uncomfortable to think about than 600mg of seroquel a day is.

>>173269Sources have been provided over and over in the thread, I'm not going to just spoonfeed them to you.
It reduces dysphoria and greatly reduces the suicide risk. Their global functioning becomes much higher.
It is absolutely the best current treatment (not cure, they do generally need follow up therapy, same as a schizophrenic or bipolar person on meds would). Maybe it won't be in the future, but you can't refuse to treat people because there might be a better option eventually, one day.
>>173270No, because being dead isn't a fucking cure to a disease, it's being dead.
That's a completely ridiculous argument to make.
No. 173274
>>173257How is indulging in a fantasy and surgically deforming your body a good option? These people are trying to become something they simply
can't be. That's the truth. Even if they could REALLY pass as real men or women (which the vast majority don't, and when they do it's usually a few FtM), just take away their hormones, even if they're post op. Their bodies will gradually change what they didn't chop off, etc: the voice will change, so will body hair, among other things.
Also, not even doctors and therapists can decide what individuals should get go under the knife and who shouldn't. Fake trans people get their heads on hormones and a green light to get surgery done all the time, which is absolutely mindblowing. In the end going through that process just makes more victims and causes more self hate.
Like other anons have mentioned in the thread, some of those individuals are fetishists. Others can't accept their homosexuality and would rather be trans than gay. And others just can't accept/hate themselves so they start this process to "become" a new individual.
In the end it's all really sad. Surgery is definitely not a good option. It's like a band-aid on a deep, huge wound.
No. 173280
>>173274You're right in that we don't really understand the disorder well enough, and it's a super hard decision to make to decide who's eligible for the surgery, in my country at least it takes a long time before doctors even consider it, as in years and years of therapy and making sure there's not other mental illness causing it, or that other stuff wouldn't help more.
But it's just flat out ignoring the facts to say it doesn't help. Every study done on the topic demonstrates that it does in fact improve their functioning and general mental state. It's not a full blown cure to all their problems, but very very few things in mental health are.
With appropriate followup and care taken to make sure you're dealing with an actual trans person instead of someone with gender dysphoria caused by other issues, it's a very, very useful tool in their treatment. It might not be the best, but it's the best available so far.
Also, the whole theory about people choosing to be trans instead of homosexual seems kind of unlikely to me, being trans is far, far more frowned upon than being gay, for any reason. Homosexuality is socially completely acceptable, and if it was for religious reasons, well, I don't exactly think that changing your gender would exactly be any better off, would you?
That seems very far fetched to me, though I do agree with part of the article provided, that we should in no cases allow minors to transition. Kids do all sorts of crap, doesn't make them trans. Same as a 5 year old pretending to be a dog doesn't make them an otherkin.

What will happen if he gets older and decides this was all some kind of phase possibly brought on by pressure from mommy and daddy wanted a special snowflake trans kid? Putting a kid like this on National Geographic is a bad move. Why didn't they at least use an adult? At least then you know it's a fully formed individual capable of making their own choices about their identity.
Every time you see one of these trans kids they have colored hair and extremely stereotypical gendered clothing. It's like the parents are trying way to hard to push the narrative that little Timmy is now little Tammy. I'm assuming this poor child has already been outed by his insane parental units. But now the whole world knows he is trans. I think that is a horrible thing to do whether it's a phase or not.

Being trans is much, much more stigmatised than being gay is.
I do want to repeat myself though, minors shouldn't be allowed to transition, ever. It's far too large a decision to let a kid decide whether they need it.
>>173309I don't think anyone outside retarded tumblr sorts calls themselves trans because it's more special, and those sorts aren't really relevant to the discussion, because they aren't legitimately trans.
It's like including self diagnosed schizophrenics and bipolar people in an actual discussion of the illness, it's pointless.
>>173311Come on, I thought you were just being retarded on purpose, but if you honestly think that a surgical solution is the same as suicide, I don't see what there is I can say to you.
The whole point of treatment is to lower their risk of suicide and improve their overall global functioning. Suicide doesn't achieve that, obviously.

My mother is an extremely religious person and think homosexuality is wrong, but feels bad for trans and doesn't see them as 'fags' like the other gays because "they were born in the wrong bodies".
Also, keep in mind that there's a ton of adults who are extremely immature, change their minds every 5 min, are stupid, easily influenciable, etc.

Surprisingly sometimes being a special trannie (who everyone feels bad for/calls brave) is easier and than a normie homo.

Someone who feels bad for being gay as a result of religion isn't going to feel any better being trans, being trans is like a whole other level of wrong as far as religious beliefs go.
>Also, keep in mind that there's a ton of adults who are extremely immature, change their minds every 5 min, are stupid, easily influenciable, etc.For sure, but those people aren't legitimately trans, and do need to be weeded out in the long process that people with gender dysphoria are supposed to go through before surgery is considered an option.
No. 173390
>>173307That's what you think. But like others have said, trannys have the whole "born in the wrong body" argument. That's something that's really hard to grasp.

Also there's so much philosophical shit like how people will never truly see their face as it looks (mirrors are reversed) unless you have an identical twin but even then
Trannys just open up a can of worms that just make the religious or conservative feel sorry for. Gays literally like the same sex so it's easy to grasp, easy to condemn
No. 173393
>>173389Well, first off, homosexuality isn't mentioned negatively in the Christian bible, just jewish texts, yet people still look down on it. That's from my understanding, that all the Biblical quotes about gay people are OT, which isn't relevant to Christians really, overall at least.
And as for trans people, it's easily able to be considered to be playing god, trying to subvert his will. Just because something isn't directly mentioned in the Bible doesn't mean it's approved of in religious terms.

I think trannies want to think that women see them as rivals, but only
really insecure girls do. No straight man wants a tranny over a real woman, even if she's average looking.

https://biblethumpingliberal.com/2011/05/19/you-can%E2%80%99t-quote-leviticus-to-prove-god-hates-homosexuality/>Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us.

And once again,I don't see any logic behind people saying they're trans because they're ashamed of being gay. Being trans is way more stigmatised than being gay, I don't think anyone but a kid who doesn't really understand that being gay is a thing yet and only gets "Boys like girls, girls like boys" as far as sexuality goes. But even then, seems pretty unlikely.

The gay people pushed to change their genderIran is one of a handful of countries where homosexual acts are punishable by death. Clerics do, however accept the idea that a person may be trapped in a body of the wrong sex. So homosexuals can be pushed into having gender reassignment surgery - and to avoid it many flee the country.From the site:
>It's not official government policy to force gay men or women to undergo gender reassignment but the pressure can be intense. In the 1980's the founder of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Khomeini, issued a fatwa allowing gender reassignment surgery - apparently after being moved by a meeting with a woman who said she was trapped in a man's body.http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-29832690Not Christian, but religion related anyway. I'm sure you can find Christian ones if you look well enough though.

I have no idea how it's viewed in Sudan, or wherever the fuck.
Do you have any actual research done that shows that this is a recognised thing that happens in the west instead of some people being forced to pretend to be trans to escape legal persecution? As in it being a legitimate psychological issue, that's been proven to impact people?
>>173533You're being so retarded I honestly think you're just false flagging.

I understand that anedoctal evidence isn't the same as a research/study, but I offered you a good source of material to understand what's behind the logic of this type of people. If I couldn't find anything else, what do you want from me? Do you want me to shit something for you? You've been all over the thread saying that "the bible doesn't say homosexuality is a sin, being trans is a lot worse than being gay, I don't get it, no one would choose that boo hoo".
If after all this time you're still insisting on the same drama, you probably don't want to hear the other side.
Even though the source is about Iran, it explains the logic behind the whole "being trans isn't as bad as being gay" deal, which was already explained by multiple anons in this thread: those people see homosexuality as a choice, yet transgenders allegedly have brains of the opposite sex, so it's not their "fault" for having same sex attraction. Therefore, they shouldn't be mistreated, etc.
If you want a different resource so badly, go find it yourself. I don't think being trans is easier than being gay per say, but I know a person who did.
And I know that some individuals out there do think this way. Hopefully someday you will find someone who does, so you can stop being such a butthurt cunt.

You can't make a claim and then get upset when someone asks for you to provide more citations than "yeah I knew a person who it happened to once", because that's completely unreliable, I could use it to support any ridiculous claim I chose to make.
If that was a common thing that happened, don't you think it would have shown up clinically, and have had studies done it to determine how regular it was and if treatments should be adjusted to handle it? It's not like trans people are some new phenomenon, they've been around for ages.
Seriously though, silly to call me butthurt just because I disagreed with you and asked you for some proof of your claim, especially when you got so upset in your reply.

>>174295Slippery slope? The last 60 years have been nothing but a verification of the so called "slippery slope fallacy". If there's something unorthodox or even depraved, liberals will seek to normalize it. As sure as night follows day, libtards will seek to destroy established norms and normalize that which a society considers abhorrent.
I hate feminism. But the reality is radfems are spot on about you - you seek to usurp the female experience, to render their "group" meaningless (similar to how western nationalities have been rendered meaningless by permissive naturalization policies) by turning the identity of female not into anything biological but into a "if I say I am, then I am" level of delusion.
Anyway, on the subject of trannies, their suicide rate doesn't decline post-surgery - it actually increases. And there are still principled people in the medical world who will NOT help people "transition" for this reason. Read the interview with one of the head surgeons at John Hopkins for his experiences with transition surgery and how it didn't help these sad, broken individuals one iota.
>We at Johns Hopkins University—which in the 1960s was the first American medical center to venture into "sex-reassignment surgery"—launched a study in the 1970s comparing the outcomes of transgendered people who had the surgery with the outcomes of those who did not. Most of the surgically treated patients described themselves as "satisfied" by the results, but their subsequent psycho-social adjustments were no better than those who didn't have the surgery. And so at Hopkins we stopped doing sex-reassignment surgery, since producing a "satisfied" but still troubled patient seemed an inadequate reason for surgically amputating normal organs.>[…] It now appears that our long-ago decision was a wise one. A 2011 study at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden produced the most illuminating results yet regarding the transgendered, evidence that should give advocates pause. The long-term study—up to 30 years—followed 324 people who had sex-reassignment surgery. The study revealed that beginning about 10 years after having the surgery, the transgendered began to experience increasing mental difficulties. Most shockingly, their suicide mortality rose almost 20-fold above the comparable nontransgender population. No. 174344

>Anyway, on the subject of trannies, their suicide rate doesn't decline post-surgery - it actually increases.Completely false, and sources have been provided already that demonstrate this. It's still increased in regards to the general population post surgery, not increased compared to those who don't have surgery. Schizophrenia and Bipolar patient suicide risks also are increased compared to the general population even after successfully treated, do you think we should stop giving out medications too?
One hospital saying they won't do the surgery doesn't mean that it's right, I could find you hundreds of medical centers that do still perform the surgery, because they do believe it helps.
One hospital is not a bigger authority than the APA and AMA.
Also, quotes without links to where the quotes actually came from are completely useless, especially from someone who's clearly so heavily biased.

This research is done by doctors by the way, not sociologists, and generally speaking, medical studies are held to a pretty good standard, at worst you get a low population which makes the results not super reliable, but it becomes increasingly hard to say what a low population is when talking about medical studies, because a lot of illnesses just don't have a very high population of people that have it and are willing to work with researchers.

>>174554To me it sounds like they are trying to be as tumblrgender as possible. So she is agender but doesn't want to dress feminine. Yet if she were born biologically male it would be a different story?
It sounds to me like this is a girl who doesn't particularly care for frilly clothes and makeup. Yet still feels like a girl. Because she is one. Just because she doesn't want to wear a bubblegum pink party dress everywhere doesn't mean she isn't feminine. I love how these gender norms everyone wants to break free from just exist to put you back into a different neat little compartment you end up feeling stuck in. You're not breaking anything at all. You're just boxing yourself in even more under the illusion of gender freedom.
What the hell are nonbinary clothes? Like androgynous clothes? People that get annoyed by being misgendered often act like it's the person's fault. But to be honest I feel like men and women just feel different being around. Like something you can't see. A scent or an aura? If that sounds ridiculous maybe that's just me and I am a weird person. But it's more than just wearing a dress or pants and liking feminine or masculine things. These tumblr transgenders act as if changing your gender is like like flipping an imaginary switch on a whim. And suddenly everyone is supposed to be able to see that you flipped that switch from female to agendered demiromatic greyasexual or something.

Since transanon in the thread didn't answer the question, I decided to look for answers and found a few personal stories:
When did you know you were transgender?It all started just at my 23 years old when I started researching more porn on the Internet (which I already did since many years before that) and discovered I liked men and was bisexual, and then from that around the next year I discovered I felt more comfortable as a woman, imagining myself as a woman than as a man (specially imagining myself as a woman sexually for a man, as I discovered I am quite passive), and from that I put quickly on my mind that I wished to transition no matter what way, and so I started transitioning secretly and dangerously before coming out to my parents and asking for help to transition properly - which I am fortunately doing now. But no, my transgenderism is something I never felt as a kid and as a teen, I was already past teenagerhood when it all started.

Not really, but there were some common experiences with clothes, nail polish and cross dreams, up until age 28. I was on a plane flight to Toronto to go watch NHL hockey :) and we hit some sudden turbulence; it felt like we dropped 500–1,000 feet in about a second. The only thought that went through my mind,(forgive the cliche) like a bolt of lightening was, “I am a woman!” We hit another similar type of turbulence and I thought to myself, if we go down I think I might have to tell everyone on the plane. A bit of a drama queen (I know) but I never had that thought before. When the plane leveled off I was so glad I didn’t say anything (my cousin was there) and quickly buried that experience in my subconscious. Fast forward 12 years later, in front of a mirror for the first time in clothes, make-up, wig and completely amazed. I felt a feeling of euphoria in my head, a happiness I had never felt. I imagine a dopamine release that was 40 years in waiting.

I really didn’t see any difference between them, at least until kindergarten, when it was obvious that boys weren’t allowed to play with dolls, but, strangely enough, there were plenty of girls more than willing to play with trains and cars. At some point, however, true segregation started (I would say around grammar school) — boys had to play soccer on the greens, girls would enjoy their own pretend/conversation games on other areas of the playground. I found this unfair, because I never liked soccer or the other stupid games of boys. Also, girls didn’t want me around (because I wasn’t ‘one of them’), while boys would just mock me for being weak and a ‘sissy’, although they didn’t really ‘bully’ me in the sense it’s employed today. It was just much later, perhaps with 9 or 10, when girls started accepting that they could talk to some boys, and mixed games were ‘allowed’ again. I was thrilled when we started to have mixed classes of sports together (at that time, the classes were too small for separate boy/girl classes), although I was a bit confused why girls were allowed to dress in exquisite leotards, while ‘we boys’ were pretty much limited to white T-shirts (often with the school logo) and white shorts.

Yes as in from my earliest memories I had that off feeling about myself, and the things I had like. I remember how much I envied the shape of girls bodies from all the little things down to the texture of skin. I remember living in a caravan park when I was in like grade 1 about half an hour outside of town and going into the showers with my mothers razor and shaving my leg and arm hair because I hated body hair (I still do!).
I remember things like feeling discomfort whenever I had to go shopping for clothes, and nothing interested me much and I hated the way everything felt, but whenever my sister took me shopping for my opinion, I had interests in all kinds of clothes and so many opinions to give. Back in about Grade 4 or 5, our school decided to switch up the annual superhero dress day and change it to a gender swap day. My sister dressed me up in her clothes, stuffed a bra for me, put me in small heels and off I went to school happily, not even worried in the slightest that I, a little boy was wearing girls clothes to school. I didn’t even question anything about it. I’m so damn proud I have a good memory for my childhood!

So I would honestly say that half of my life I didn’t even know what transgender means, therefore, I couldn’t apply the word to what I was (or what I am). I was just ‘confused’ and trying to fit in. Then, much, much later in my adult life, I learned what it means, and things started to make a little more sense. Nevertheless, the decades of forcing myself to accept a male gender role have left deep scars in my psyche. Today, I still cannot say that ‘I am a trans woman and have always been one’. The best I can say is that I do not really identify with the male gender role, and never did; I just did my best to fit in and utterly failed. Does that make me ‘female’? Not really — gender doesn’t work like that, it’s not binary. I still prefer female gender roles and attire, though, and I engage in those as much as I possibly can. But going full time as a woman, well… our society does not have jobs for trans women (trans men have no problems, because they pass so well), and that means being very careful about one’s choices. Leaving family, friends, a job, a city, etc. all behind to start a new life is a huge barrier to transition. So, the best I can do is to accept that I’m somewhere in the transgender spectrum, deal with it as best as I can, enjoy myself as much as possible while presenting myself as a woman, and trying not to worry overmuch when I’m forced to present myself as a man in order to earn a living. After all, we spend most of our lives doing things we hate, in order to survive — I just need to get used to it. Or, rather, after so many decades, I’m pretty much used to it. Not happy, nor even content, but merely resigned.
Do I feel transgendered? Not really. I’m just aware that cisgender males do not ‘feel’ the same way as I do. And I was pretty much conscious of that since my earliest days. I had no words to express that ‘difference’, but I was always sure that I felt ‘differently’ what ‘gender’ meant to me, and that also meant I have been ‘gender confused’ since then — and I have to admit that I still am. So, if we define ‘transgender’ as ‘someone who questions the gender (role) assigned at birth’, then, yes, I have always been ‘transgender’ in that sense. But I had no word, no definition for what I ‘felt’.

>>174587Transanon here.
I pretty much was always into what would be considered traditionally girl stuff as a kid, playing with dolls, playing vet, Disney, dressing up etc. Never had any interest in playing with boys or football or anything like that.
Although I didn't realise anything was really wrong or abnormal with that until I started puberty. I also became disgusted by the changes to my body. I just felt so wrong and I was disgusted by my own physical appearance.
Also I got bullied pretty hard for sounding and acting in ways considered feminine.
And at home my dad was also threatening me with violence for being a faggot and going against Jesus or whatever.
So to cope, I repressed. Tried to forget all about who I was, tried to stop feeling jealous of how girls looked and acted, about them bring able to have bfs. I just hung around quietly at the edge of the nerd clique and became really insecure, anxious, unable to speak to people hardly.
Then when I reached about 16 I discovered what being trans was and it instantly clicked with how I had felt, how I was disgusted by myself, why I had prayed to all sorts of gods and Santa as a kid to wake up as a girl, every day, for years.
Still I couldn't see a safe way to come out so I continued repressing, which led to self harm and eventually a suicide attempt at the age of 19.
That's when I realised I had to stop hiding. I told my GP I was trans, I went to therapy, I started self medding and finally became happy and open with people.
I'm 20 now and everything is great. I don't try to act feminine I just act like myself which happens to be what people consider traditionally feminine. I don't have a definition of what it means to be female, I'm not some sociologist or psychologist. I just know what feels right to me, and that being male felt so wrong.
Also I hate older transitioners, "transbians", fetishists, and tumblrfucks as much as anyone else. They're all creepy and mentally ill.
But I also get pissed off with this place because its crawling with radfem terfs (who deny they are terfs or claim that term is insulting), who just write me off as a mentally ill subhuman, and then try their best to bait trannies and use the wrong pronouns which is just a shitty thing to do.
Anyway I dunno if that helps you at all but that's why I have to say.

transanon here again
just curious as to whether any of you here actually believe being trans is a choice, or isn't biological, and what your reasoning is for that.
And if you accept it is biological and not a choice, why you think it's okay to hate trannies just for being born trans?
Here's some evidence for you:
>The central subdivision of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BSTc) is sexually dimorphic. On average, the BSTc is twice as large in men as in women and contains twice the number of somatostatin neurons.
>A sample of six male-to-female transsexuals taking estrogen were found to have female-typical number of cells in the BSTc, whereas a female-to-male transsexual taking testosterone was found to have a male-typical number.
>The authors (W. Chung, G. De Vries, Dick Swaab) also examined subjects with hormone-related disorders and found no pattern between those disorders and the BSTc while the single untreated male-to-female transsexual had a female-typical number of cells.
>They concluded that the BSTc provides evidence for a neurobiological basis of gender identity disorder and proposed that such was determined before birth.

Those also have strong genetic components, yet you'd immediately violate your own principle if they were brought up and claim
those traits are 100% the result of environmental upbringing.

how about instead of focusing on who wants to fuck you, spend that time focusing on transitioning and doing things that are actually productive to you as a trans* individual.

Do you think it's right that I should get to keep taking female hormones and get surgeries to try and become happy with myself and my place in the world, even if trans is a mental illness?
Should I just be forced to admit i'm a mentally ill freak and kill myself for being born a degenerate?
Is there another option you can see?
Even if you think trannies are gross, we are still humans.

>>176661You should express yourself the way that makes you comfortable, wear women's clothes if you prefer them, use feminine mannerisms if they're more natural to you, date men if you prefer. But don't think this is the stuff that makes a woman. You can be a pretty, feminine boy, and even make yourself attractive to men who think of themselves as heterosexual, but you'll still be male (and there is nothing wrong with that). Doesn't mean you can't like what girls are supposed to like, or do what girls are supposed to do.
I think hormones and surgery are similar to steroids and body mods, ways to modify your appearance that can have side effects, that's your call because it's your body. Just don't expect me to believe you're female because of it.

The reason we aren't shitting on FtMs is because they mostly keep quiet and don't act like total spastics unless they're fakebois. And even then you don't see them sperging out to the max as much as MtFs. Case in point, google Wetflame.

>>176672You aren't a woman. Sorry. No one is going to remember you as a woman even if you drop dead right now or kill yourself in the most spectacular manner just to prove your desperate tranny point.
You are severely mentally ill, and I empathize with that. But no matter how many hormones you inject yourself with, whether you chop your dick off and get a gaping, unhealing wound that you pretend is a vagina, whether you shave your jaw and manbrow down, learn to dress and act like a woman - you won't be a woman. There is more to being a woman than acting, looking, and "feeling" like a woman. This is why trans people are perpetually miserable (that, and the fact that society is guilted in to pretending that we believe these people are truly the gender they opt to be when we don't. no one does).
Our mental healthcare system is failing trans people. We need to care for them in a way that does not involve physically mutilating them. We do not encourage anorexic people to lose weight, why encourage a gender dysphoric person to play the opposite sex?

And also shit like this
>>176672 I wish tumblr never made that word popular. stop using the word cisgender. This is 99.7% of people (at least in American), you can't label the entire populace like that. People who do that create a you vs us which makes you look like a pompous ass.
My motto is, you wanna be a women? Be a women. Be the best goddamned woman you can be. BUT you're gonna have to leave your transgender card behind because it's only holding you back. The tallest nail gets hammered down.

First, you can't know how a woman
feels because you've
never been one. There's no way you can compare how we see life/think/feel like us, or anything we've biologically and socially lived. We, however, were born and raised women, bio/social.

Doctors who indulge in your fantasy and want to cut off your dick and inject you dangerous hormones because want your money and use you as a guinea pig, fool.
Also, literally NO ONE but you and your circle jerk sees you abominations as women. People lie to be polite, to avoid drama and because they don't want to hurt your sad tranny feelings… But all we see is a deluded MAN who's trying to fool himself.
Keep posting pictures of trannies who you think pass and got 100 plastic surgeries and 100000 injections. Most, if not ALL, look like what they really are IRL – dudes. Like that model tranny with huge manly feet and hands. Also, just take hormones away from a while and see the man in you come out again.

Another pet peeve is how they attach themselves to Gay and lesbian issues, as if a mental illness can be comparable to a sexual orientation.
No. 176780
>>176745>From your Adam's apple, to your DNA, genitalia, hips, hands and feet size, fat percentage, and everything else in your body is MALE. Firstly that's not true. Trans people have brains which are sexually dimorphic in the way of the gender we identify as, not in the way of the sex we were assigned. My brain is literally physically more female than male.
Ergo I am mentally closer to being a female than a male, even if I'll never truly be physically female, which is painful to accept.
Secondly, just by increasing estrogen levels and lowering testosterone levels slightly, I've developed hips, breasts, and have a female level fat percentage and fat distribution.
Face, Adams apple, voice, hair, genitals can all be altered with surgery to at least appear female.
>The way you were raised in society also "made" you even more male. So no, sorry dear. You are not a woman. You never will be one.How exactly are men and women raised and socialised so radically differently in your view then?
I've always had mostly female friends and engaged in what would be considered traditionally feminine activities.
What part of cis female socialisation is so secret and special that I cant have possibly been able to experience it?
How was I made into a male if I never really engaged in typical male activities?
>First, you can't know how a woman feels because you've never been one.Again, not true. Being female isn't some special magic club that people without xx chromosomes will never be able to comprehend.
Plenty of guys are highly feminine and understand women better than they do men, and plenty of women are masculine and understand men better than they do women.
Trans people are the gender they identify as. I'll repeat that post-mortem brain tests of mtfs and ftms, including ones which didn't take hormones, were sexually dimorphic in the same way the gender they identified as rather than in the way of the sex they were assigned.
Also taking hormones noticeably changed my mental state, they way I feel and the way I think.
If my brain is physically female and estrogen is the hormone at work in my body, how can you say I can only feel male?
>There's no way you can compare how we see life/think/feel like us, or anything we've biologically and socially lived. We, however, were born and raised women, bio/social. We don't even need to feel like women, whatever that means – we just are. You, however, are a mentally ill man, either gay or a fetishist who needs help. When you're trans your gender isn't possible to ignore or not care about because the mismatch between it and your sex causes you dysphoria and mental pain so frequently.
My views are based on what I know about the current biological science and sociological views about being trans.
If science eventually does a u turn and claims that all the evidence so far was wrong and that I am just a mentally ill gay guy after all, I'd accept it even though I wouldn't like it.
Why can't you accept the actual current scientific views about trans people, even if you hate it?
I'll tell you why - because your womyn born womyn terf ideology is so heavily ingrained in you, that you choose to follow it instead of following fact and science.

I don't necessarily even think you're mentally ill. It would make sense from a certain perspective for a gay guy to want to have a female appearance. I think it's sad and you shouldn't feel the need to do this to yourself, but I'm not gonna hate you for it, I just don't think it makes you a woman. You haven't answered the question yet, "what is a woman"?
About the science: people have posted links in this thread of studies which show that the differences you've cited aren't really there. Because like everyone's saying, we don't really know shit about brains and there's no consensus yet.

Still a tranny, aka deluded man, not a woman. Also, just take your injections away and part of your "female attributes" will start crumbling.

>>176780Found your pic, gurl.
>>176769Agree 100%
I think every single one of us here will agree that RoK is a shitty site. But I thought this article was accurate:
There are many people trying to trick us in this day and age. This varies from bullshit health advice to the blue pill nature of most of modern society. There is also another way men have been tricked and it can be from our own XY chromosome brethren.
That’s right. I am talking about transsexuals who are “male to female”. It’s not just betas and closet conning alphas trying to hold us back. It’s cross-dressing men who are so mentally ill that they think they’re women. They’re delusional omega men who think acting like a caricature of the women who don’t give them play is how they can finally get some sexual pleasure from unwitting men. A lot of players won’t admit to this but it happens to a lot of us.
Trannies will try to trick a player to get some loving. I’ve been fortunate enough to avoid the pitfalls and I want to make a simple easy list that anyone can apply to check if that ‘freak’ in a dress is an actual freak of nature.
1. Trannies exhibit the most feminine hamsters by their names alone.
That’s why one of the most quintessential ways you can tell one apart in the Anglosphere is just by the name. It’s very common for them to have a conventional name but with some tweaks to it. Like the name Jessica but spelled as Jessika. Even if they do go with more conventional names, they pick something trashy like “Natalie Mercedes Langley.” Take their perspective as a special snowflake unique woman with the urge to change their name. It never really ends well.
2. Trannies require others to prop them up and support their delusions.
A little fun test is to imply the hottie in the dress is a he. Most normal women would laugh at that and chuckle, allowing you to game on and win them over. The tranny views this as an attack on them and will get hostile with you. Expect a “pronoun” check with some snark.
3. Trannies either grossly overcompensate or underwhelm with their feminine mannerisms and dress.
It’s easy to see them undercompensate because it looks like a frumpy NFL line-backer in a budget dress. The ones that overcompensate though will go full on out—they will wear 7 inch heels with a tight form-fitting dress. They will act like a special Anglo cultured sex-in-the-city snowflake.
4. Trannies, like most feminists, are NOT likely to have employable skills.
Trannies will have long periods of unemployment typically, and when they do work, it’s the fun time for a handbag special. They will be like any other gold digger try to leech off you. They always expect some mythical figure to pay for their whims.
5. Trannies have cut marks on their bodies.
Transsexuals have an incredibly high suicide and drug abuse rate. Just a good rule in general is to avoid mentally sick men and women who have those traits.
6. Trannies talk in make-believe ivory tower academia terms.
If you hear things like “social justice”, “kyriarchy”, “patriarchy”,”Cisgender”,”gender binary”, “transgender”, “privilege,” get your game on somewhere else. Male/female/it are so psychologically poisoned that it’s just not worth your time in general. There are many attractive REAL females without that academic poisoning.
7. Trannies require extensive surgeries that almost no government will subsidize.
This also requires years of therapy and other extraneous activities. Most trannies won’t even remember it all. Just remember to keep a critical eye for the uncanny valley. If it doesn’t feel right, investigate and draw your own conclusion.
8. Trannies are masters of destroying relationships.
I’m not a mental health expert but they’re broken psychologically. It’s quite easy to see a person that burns bridges.
chloe
This mentally ill man calls himself “chloe sagal”. He is famous for e-begging on Kickstarter back in March for surgery to remove shrapnel from his body as it was causing “metal poisoning” . When called out about the fact that he was asking for the same amount of money required for “gender re-assignment surgery” he went in to denial mode. The gaming communities criticisms and Kickstarter asking for proof caused this man to have a meltdown. He went on to twitch.tv a famous game streaming website where individuals can stream themselves playing games to announce his suicide. Trans people who are known to be histrionic wrecks do this type of activity for attention. When cutting himself lightly with a steak knife and taking pills, he commanded his friends to call the ambulance. The life of a mentally ill man is not a glamorous one.
The last and final drastic step of all of this is to do a TSA-style pat down. If that doesn’t work just remember that tranny “vaginas” have no natural lubrication. It’s quite easy to tell if somebody isn’t getting wet. We as red pillers must even tell the most beta blue pillers in existence when the “hot girl” at the bar is really a lying mentally ill man in a dress. If we stand up to their mental illness and call them out instead of making their delusions worse. It will inspire these disfigured men to stop being omegas and start being true men again.

You must prove this with a sufficient body of evidence unless you want to be laughed at. It must be from real sources as well.
>My views are based on what I know about the current biological science and sociological views about being trans.Ohhh now I see why you falsify and drag science down with you because your'e trying to push bullshit social science as what you call "mainstream" science. Your views are based around what you want to believe not science.
>Why can't you accept the actual current scientific views about trans people, even if you hate it?Social science is very much a intellectual echo chamber, now i'm not saying every study conducted ever is bullshit because it's social science but your conflation of social science and actual science is disingenuous and flagrant. Provide evidence and I will contract my statement/skepticism. I know from first hand experience social science is built around bullshittery, it's quite jarring to be a STEM major introduced to such bullshit. Lest we not forget the Sokal affair.
>If science eventually does a u turn and claims that all the evidence so far was wrong and that I am just a mentally ill gay guy after all, I'd accept it even though I wouldn't like it.Somehow I don't believe this, the part of you accepting it I mean, the mystical "science" isn't looking good either. For example long before gayness was proven to have a hereditary tendency it was observed in animal behavior across the entirety of the animal kingdom.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexual_behavior_in_animals This didn't prevent it from being taboo, innocents and even great people like Alan Turing were euthanized,sterilized, driven to suicide or became depressed from the social stigma, even the father of computing wasn't spared for such a stupid thing like sexual orientation.
Because of this senseless shit, I am against social stigmatizing if it is wrongly placed.
Though it gave a tangible bases of the claim, animals cannot lie or falsify behavior and on top of this in recent times evolutionary theories have been made to support gay behavior as a legitimate survival strategy promoting the naturalistic truth of the theory. Gayness has been linked to a specific gene, a random mutation induced such behavior within the animal kingdom.
This has never happened with trannies, no tranny behavior has been observed in animals, no gene has been discovered, there is no legitimate hereditary element to tranny behavior, gayness increases with conditioning of the womb. Perhaps some primates may exhibit different behaviors akin to the opposite sex but this does not support such behavior in hominids. Transpeople can be likened to gays gayness was once declared a mental illness by APA then debunked through such observations in nature. observations have yet to be seen in nature to support transexualness.
>because your womyn born womyn terf ideology is so heavily ingrained in you, that you choose to follow it instead of following fact and science.You're disgusting, not because you're a tranny I have no contempt for transpeople as long as they don't force the tax payer to pay for their fake tits and dick removal but because you're flagrantly sexist and epitomize what I hate in social progressives; muddying up the water of modern science when in reality you'd never touch a biology/chemistry textbook let alone research the phenomena yourself.
I don't even know what terf is.
>If my brain is physically female and estrogen is the hormone at work in my body, how can you say I can only feel male?Your brain is not physically female, it is physically male a hormone cannot change post-zygotic development. It will change the expression of certain chemicals but will not instantly re hot wire your brain you are approaching this topic with layman knowledge, neuroscience is a newly emerging field and if you are trying to affix genders to chemicals I can only assume you have no knowledge or private education of basic chemistry/biology.
Hormones are not feminine or masculine you dip you are looking at things more simply than they are. A chemical molecule cannot be inherently female or male this is once again disingenuous to say and I don't understand the argument you are trying to make, you cannot apply genders to fucking isomers you fucktard. A molecule of oxygen is not masculine, argon is not feminine.
I've learned that you're not only mentally ill but a retard that applies genders to organic molecules so you aren't just an insult to your gender but modern chemistry.
As I have mentioned ITT pumping your body full of hormones will switch your proto-oncogenes on so be careful tranny.
If any of you provided a shred of decent real (not social science/anthropology) studies anything I would contract this.
Again stop hijacking "Cis" and "trans" these terms are used by the field that you rely on to hack your dick off and pump yourself full of proto oncogenes.

No. 177996
>>177991You realise there's a video right there, right? You can't just keep going "yeah but I need this photo type for it to count too". Sure, there's makeup and stuff going on in the videos, but odds are there would be in a candid photo as well.
Also, why do selfies only not count when they're good ones that present them as feminine? I haven't seen anyone reply to a selfie of someone who's more masculine looking saying that it's just a bad photo and you need candid ones in normal lighting for it to count.
Also, I think you're ignoring that masculine women do exist. If I see a masculine looking girl on the street, I don't assume it's a trans person, same as if I saw a feminine looking guy. If you even think twice, you just assume it's just how they look.
If you do assume people are trans because they look masculine, you might have some issues yourself, because that's a pretty unhealthy obsession with trans people you've got there.

>>178000Was that confusing somehow?
Your standards about what counts as an accurate photo for what the trans person looks like day to day only seem to apply when they do pass and it doesn't support your claim of trans people being unable to pass.
If they look masculine in a selfie, you use it as proof of how bad trans people look, and treat the selfie as accurate, ignoring how massively even the camera lens you're using can change how you look, yet if they look feminine, you claim it doesn't count and you need to post candid photos because selfies aren't an accurate image of how you look.
What you're really saying is that only photos that show them as feminine don't count, because a candid photo can be fucking terrible and completely misrepresent how you actually look. A casual video in just normal lighting is the closest you're likely to get.
I really don't understand how that was confusing for you.

If you say you need candid photos in normal lighting to get an accurate image of how people actually look, that should apply to both sides, not just photos that go against what you claim, because otherwise you're just going "No only photos that support me count". It's a complete double standard.
I'm honestly finding it hard to believe that you don't understand what I'm saying though, it's not exactly a complex point or anything like that, and I've explained it three times now. If you miss basic shit like this, you should probably go take a reading comprehension course or something.

No. 178009
>>178007That's just completely fucking false. A lot of people take terrible photos of themselves that they see as pretty good, maybe they hide a perceived flaw that they've exaggerated in their own mind, or maybe the person just has no idea how to take a good photo, whatever really.
My point is that you can't just go "Nuh uh doesn't count because of X" in any photo that doesn't support your beliefs, but then refuse to apply that to ones that don't support it.
I shouldn't even have to explain why doing that is wrong. Either you take the evidence at face value, or you refuse to use any photos as proof of how someone looks, and rely on videos instead. Anything else is just you displaying a huge bias and essentially invalidating your own argument, which is demonstrated in how it's been used to try to discredit anything that doesn't support you.
Stop trying to deflect the "You're just pretending to be retarded" thing onto me as well, you just look silly. You're the one who's either legitimately a moron or is intentionally trying to misconstrue my point by making silly claims about it, to the point I honestly just think you're baiting now.
Also, I have to point out that you ignored what, three quarters of my post to focus on one point within it, which is pretty damn dishonest on its own.
>>178008Trannies aren't some magical creature anon, good and bad photos both exist of them. Some are capable of taking good selfies, some aren't, same as normal people. Some people just flat out have much better cameras than others.

also you mentioned upthread to look up shemales to find a "shitload more passing trannies" which unfortunately isn't a good sample size for MTFs because a) pornstars are going to look better than a regular person, even trans ones, and b) you can still tell the VAST majority of them are dudes. from their builds, to their faces, to their giant man hands and feet - yeah, they have extensions and makeup and tits, but you can see the man face.
are there passing MTFs? sure. i think even blair white passes well. but the majority simply do not pass because a post-pubic man doesn't look like a woman. maybe some are "lucky" and are short, petite, androgynous, whatever, but most are tall and man-like.

>also you mentioned upthread to look up shemales to find a "shitload more passing tranniesThat was a different poster.
>pornstars are going to look better than a regular person, even trans onesI agree, though there's an argument to be made that a lot of porn stars are trying to fit a certain image as well, especially in fetish areas.
>you can still tell the VAST majority of them are dudes. from their builds, to their faces, to their giant man hands and feet - yeah, they have extensions and makeup and tits, but you can see the man face.I addressed this already, here
>>177996Natural women possessing those attributes exist, a slightly masculine face or kind of big shoulders or whatever isn't proof someone is trans, and you might have issues if you assume everyone who looks a little masculine in some ways is a guy.
>are there passing MTFs? sure. i think even blair white passes well. but the majority simply do not pass because a post-pubic man doesn't look like a woman. maybe some are "lucky" and are short, petite, androgynous, whatever, but most are tall and man-like.Yeah, I agree with this, there's some that pass and some that don't, though there's a huge element of already knowing that someone is trans influencing how you view them. If you didn't have any context, you'd assume a lot of the ones labelled not passing trans people were just masculine women. Same as with FtM trans people, with no context you'd just assume most are kind of feminine looking guys, while some stand out really obviously.
I do also think them not passing is a poor argument for why transitioning is a bad thing, because it's just the nature of medicine at this point. 50 years from now we'll be a heap better at making people pass than we currently are, because this sort of stuff advances all the time. Look at what we can do to severe burn victims now compared to say 15 years back for an example of how well cosmetic based surgeries are progressing.

Here's a photo showing the importance of lighting on a photo, too.
Honestly though, when your argument is based off you denying that bad selfies exist, maybe you ought to stop? It's pretty much universally accepted that you can look great in one photo and terrible in another.
Hell, the fact that fashion companies put so much effort into modelling shots should show you that the way you take a photo and what you do with it afterwards has a drastic impact on how good you look. For someone who's not particularly educated in how to take a good photo, it stands to reason that the photos they take of themselves are kind of going to suck.

I will admit, there are a few (very few) passable trannies out there. But the thing they have in common is that they already looked feminine before transitioning. Look at old pictures of Andrej Pejic or that Somik person mentioned earlier, they are very androgynous. They could pass for female just by putting on a wig.
99.9% of trannies, though, are not like that. They start out with a typical male face and body and no amount of hormones or plastic surgery will hide that. You can cherry pick pictures of a few models or porn stars but the reality is that the overwhelming majority look like this

They would then be mentally ill people, and I think it's quite hard to justify trying to actively make mentally ill people feel worse, even if you think they're ridiculous or delusional.

What does lolcow think about BBC's recent documentary on transgender kids?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b088kxbw/transgender-kids-who-knows-bestHonestly while I was very skeptical of transgenderism and have always had a strong dislike of overly obnoxious trannies I come across on the internet, I always thought the way lolcow described transgenders was exaggerated and generalized. But the BBC documentary has been basically an affirmation of what lolcow had said:
Despite having zero scientific backing the "male and female brain" theory is a real argument used by trans advocates, and apparently it's the main one.
All the kids shown reduce gender down to stereotypes. Their criteria for adopting the trans identity is
wanting to be a girl. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since one of them is still a prepubescent though.
Literally all of the trans activists shown in the documentary are utterly nuts. I seriously can't put it any other way.
I've high regards for BBC, but after this documentary I don't know what to think. Did they cherrypick the crazies? Would the kids be more fairly represented if they were given interviews that asked in-depth questions? Are the non-SJWey transgenders the silent majority or at least a sizeable portion, or are they a tiny exception to the rule?
A couple more observations and comments:
There is pressure on the parents in canada to transition their children from the trans activists which includes telling them it's either transition or suicide and that they'll be the murders of their own children if they don't help them transition, as well as shuting down other options for the parents such as seeing an actual psychologist. I thought the whole tumblr SJW crap is easy to avoid and most who complain endlessly about it are just purposely looking for outrage. I always believed all the parents of transgender kids were snowflakes who wanted and actively sought excuses to transition their own kids. Now I feel real fucking sorry for some of them.
According to the documentary there's an unprecedented phenomenon of kids as young as 2-3 insisting they were "born into the wrong body". This isn't language that'd come naturally to someone that young. Where could they have picked up the phrase? It's unlikely the parents taught them, at least for the example given by the documentary.
Children's gender clinics. No idea this was a thing. I really want to know what are their parameters for diagnosing children as transgender and how they're even legal.
Dr. Kenneth Zucker. I looked a bit at what people said about this documentary and its contents before watching the actual thing itself. My earlier impression was maaaaybe he did some controversial things and the rabid trans activists picked it up and spun it way out of proportion. But after watching a digging a little deeper it looks more and more like they ruined a perfectly innocent man's career with slander.

>>178220I think the whole point was that even if we accept they're mentally ill, shitting on the mentally ill is a terrible thing to do. Would you feel the same way if you had a depressed student that was hard to teach or acted out? That he was a stupid little faggot who should fuck off?
You sound like a fucking terrible teacher, if it's even true you are one, which I doubt a lot. Your whole anecdote sounds like bullshit honestly, there's really not that many trans kids around, let alone enough for your school to have a nickname for the day your office staff has to change some stuff around for them.
And I don't think I've ever met a teacher who was against trying to teach kids to be more respectful of another and not bully the other kids, which is what the whole safe schools program is about. Hardly brainwashing.

>>178228So's gender dysphoria anon. Whether they're justified in feeling it or not, it's a kid who's suffering, and it's shitty to put them down for that.
Ignore the insane trans advocates and speak out against them, sure, I agree with that, because they do harm people, but I think the sufferers need sympathy regardless of if it's an irrational belief or not, and the deciding of that last fact should be left up to doctors, not randoms on the internet.

>>178229to say a child of 8-12 years old can make such a choice, or even be dysphoric is ridiculous. I guarantee it is the parents pushing these little retards to transition.
And answering your previous question I have had 3 students transition. (didn't teach all of them) from a period of 2013 - 2016. Back in 2013 the leadership team had the student surrounded and were trying to explain to him why his parents were worried and why he shouldn't be wearing a skirt.
I visited that school again in 2015 and they had one of those posters on the door "we accept all students" bla bla. Disgusting how far the world has fallen.

>>178231>to say a child of 8-12 years old can make such a choice, or even be dysphoric is ridiculous.I'm sorry, but you're claiming to be a teacher, not a psychiatrist, right? I think I'm going to have to side with the psychiatrists who agree that this disorder can show up in children over your opinion.
There's absolutely no reason a kid can't suffer gender dysphoria.
>I visited that school again in 2015 and they had one of those posters on the door "we accept all students" bla bla. Disgusting how far the world has fallen.So, the mentally ill kid should be stigmatised and made to feel worse? I really doubt more and more that you're a teacher with every post you make. And if you are, keep your personal beliefs out of it. Accepting all sorts of students does nothing but help them, it's not your job to cure them, it's your job to create an environment in which the kids can learn best. One that makes them miserable and want to avoid school all together isn't going to be that.
You're not going to cure them by going "Actually you're wrong and we're not going to accept you so just stop doing that shit okay?".

>>178241Again you have nothing to say yet feel compelled to post.

Small kids are normally curious about body parts and they like to play with other kids; sometimes boys, sometimes girls. Just because a boy wants to play with a Barbie doll that doesn't mean he's female, or if a girl wants to dress up as Batman that doesn't mean she's a boy, ffs. What's happening to this world? Those things are usually phases, anyway, and unless someone keeps pushing it and enabling said behavior it will go away in vast majority of cases.

And yes, my whole point is that they are mentally ill, and what you're arguing is that we should stigmatise the mentally ill even more, and not try to teach kids that bullying the mentally ill students, or any students full stop is wrong.
>I support children in their education every way I can but I will never support some little faggot pretending to be a woman or vice versa.Do I really have to explain the issue with this sentence?
>>178245I agree with not trying to let kids transition, because kids are really changing a lot at that point, and there's a huge chance they won't feel that way.
But as I said, groups like the APA and AMA, as well as psychiatrists in Aus (who tend to defer to the judgement of the authors of manuals like the DSM) disagree with you about whether kids can suffer from gender dysphoria. They believe that they can.
What evidence do you have that these specialist doctors don't that proves that kids can't suffer from it, and that if you just tell them to suck it up and make it so that if they show it at all they'll be bullied and outcast that they'll stop dealing with that?
I think parents who encourage their kids to be trans are ridiculous, to make it clear. I don't think parents who want to make sure their kid feels comfortable talking to them about their issues, and as such accepts their claim that they're a trans individual so they feel comfortable doing so, which also reduces the societal factor that leads to the said dysphoria (which is a major thing in a lot of illnesses, even down to bipolar or something) are doing the wrong thing at all.
And as I said already, specialist doctors don't know if transgender people have a basis to believe what they do or not, it's a huge area of contention amongst professionals, and neither can prove their side fully yet. Any claims otherwise is just bias talking.

I'm saying that a lot of people agree with me, a lot more than you think that's for sure. But we're professionals and we're not willing to throw away our career for our beliefs. It reminds me of the California prop 50 debate. Something like 50% of Americans we're against legalising gay marriage. A few years later a brilliant programmer brendon eich had to step down from his company because he donated to an anti gay organisation.

>>178253>My point is that values change and I hope we start to look for cures,Why do you insist on making stupid statements like this?
We've been looking for treatments for a long fucking time, and do have plenty.
In cases where they don't work, transitioning has been shown to be an effective treatment, if not absolutely perfect (some of the imperfections of it are attributed to the results we can get with current medical technology).
You're acting like whenever a person sees a psychiatrist about being trans, the psych just goes "yeah sure that's cool here's your hormones and we'll book you to be transitioned immediately", which is just completely wrong.
>>178255You've argued that anti-bullying campaigns and acceptance of all students regardless of their personal issues are bad things.
You said you support children in their education every way you can, but have made the argument that because this child has a mental illness you don't like, that you believe you should create a negative learning environment for them, and laughed about the insane social stigma trans students face.
It's about as big a contradiction as going "I have no issue with black people, but I kind of think that they should all segmented away from us normal white people, stupid fucking coons".

>>178256but anon the cure is simple - remove the abusive parents that are convincing the child to change genders. Viola.
>You've argued that anti-bullying campaigns and acceptance of all students regardless of their personal issues are bad things.I never said anti bullying campaigns are bad I said that safe schools Australia is a brain washing programme. They spend the majority of their lesson telling kids that gender is some fluid item that can be changed. Normal people do not subscribe to this notion. Sure they can dress up as a girl and play with a barbie but they are not women and never will be. hormones doesn't change the fundamentals of your body. A trans man can give birth, a trans female cannot. As other anons have said in the thread the trannys act like crude caricatures of real women. The whole thing is just a façade to poor children being abused into thinking that they're gender dysphoric because they chose painting over the fire truck.
>You said you support children in their education every way you can, but have made the argument that because this child has a mental illness you don't like, that you believe you should create a negative learning environment for them, and laughed about the insane social stigma trans students face.because I said the mentally ill students should be in facilities built for them: specialist schools? When i am teaching a student I am not concerned about their gender at all anon.
No. 178272
>>178258Assuming you meant to reply to me there, but it's not really.
Even if you just mean how little kids are just being kids and saying silly stuff, just let them? If a kid wants to pretend he's a girl for a week, go for it.
Would you throw a tantrum if a six year old claimed he was a dog for a week and pretended to be one sometimes? Say he was a stupid little faggot who should be shipped away to a special school and bullied by other students? Or would you just go "haha you sure are" and expect him to move on from that eventually?
And as I said, there's no concrete proof that transgenderism is or isn't a legitimate thing instead of an irrational belief, as opposed to a kid who might legitimately think he was a dog, who would probably be psychotic in some form. Trans people aren't psychotic, they don't have any of the other signs of psychosis, and the one thing that could be a sign, we simply don't think classifies as a delusion.
>>178266>but anon the cure is simple - remove the abusive parents that are convincing the child to change genders. Viola.Wow you should totally contact RANZCP with that medical breakthrough.
>Sure they can dress up as a girl and play with a barbie but they are not women and never will be. hormones doesn't change the fundamentals of your body. A trans man can give birth, a trans female cannot.Leave the psychiatry to psychiatrists please, it's very clear you know nothing about that field. Those specialists aren't confident enough to make that claim, it's just dumb for you to be.
And safe schools australia is an organisation designed to reduce bullying of gay and trans kids in schools. You're arguing that is a bad thing.

>When i am teaching a student I am not concerned about their gender at all anon.I mean, it's basic shit that boys and girls learn differently, particularly in primary and should be treated somewhat differently as a result of that, so that's another sign you're at best a bad teacher, and at worst not even one at all.

A cure for transgenderism in my book is the patient no longer feeling like the incorrect sex. If your fridge was heating you wouldn't slap a "grill" sticker on it and call it fixed. You would look at the internal engine and find out why it was producing the desired affects.
For a transgender, particularly for a child, the correct course of action is to steer them away from feeling like the opposite sex. I will admit I don't know the best way to do that, but I know the product currently is wrong. You wouldn't give a schizophrenic 5 ID cards and call him cured so why tell children they're women when they're not?

In psychiatry at least I mean.
Wouldn't you then agree that in a case where someone has tried therapy and other options, and no improvement has been seen, that an option like SRS would be effective, seeing as it's been demonstrated to reduce dysphoria and drastically improve their global functioning?

Is the correct course of action to cut off her legs?Interestingly enough, this is actually something that we do do very rarely, in body integrity identity disorder, when nothing else works, medical amputation has been used to treat it.
However, it's an exceedingly rare disorder, and there's a pretty big debate going on about if it's ethical to remove the limb when we don't quite understand the nature of the disorder (if it's psychiatric or neurological in nature).
This isn't the best source for it, but here's some information
>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3326051/>Surgery is found helpful in all subjects who underwent amputation and those subjects score significantly lower on a disability scale than BIID subjects without body modification.With that being said the population size of that study was pretty poor, if understandably so (because the disorder is stupidly rare, as I said, and cases where surgical options have been used are even rarer). They also aren't the same disorder, and you can't draw a direct comparison between the two, just to clarify I'm not trying to do that, just giving examples of what you asked for.
No. 178303
>>178301Lets try to be a bit more honest and actually post the whole relevant section why don't we?
>In the present study the main reasons reported for body modification in all subjects were to feel whole, complete, set right again or to feel satisfied inside, none of the subjects had primary sexual motives. However 25 (46.3%) subjects felt sexually aroused when seeing someone disabled resembling their BIID and 24 (44.4%) felt sexually aroused when imagining themselves being disabled. Possibly the sexual component in BIID is often one of feeling sexually more comfortable with one's bodyThere's a big difference between someone experiencing arousal from imagining themselves as who they want to be, and someone only wanting to be that way because they're a fetishist, and the study ruled out the one person who was just a fetishist.

Black woman, white woman, lesbian woman, and straight woman are other examples of labels we put on different types of women. Saying that I should be segregated in a class of only trans women is ignorant and discriminatory. It's much like how they tried to say that black women shouldn't be allowed in track when they first competed. They said they belonged in a separate category all to themselves.(…) Some of the MMA world is acting like she accomplished some great feat, as if she beat a male fighter. No, not even close. She defeated another female fighter - plain and simple.
She needs to stop crying about competing against me. The whole thing is just silly.

Trannies need to be aware of extent to which they'll be ostracized. I'm inclined to think that they think simply "knowing" that it's bigotry and bad means it will magically vanish
My opinion is that encouraging transgenderism without drawing awareness to the fact that the majority of the world's populace will still not be accepting of this for at least another century is making things ironically worse for trannies

because robots have no self esteem, and they see trannies as more attainable and on a similarly low level to themselves in the social order.
they see a tranny as someone who could also relate to their mental fuck-ups and sexual perversions

>>Insanely enough, there are trannies that actually think that in the future it will become possible for them to carry a baby in their body. I'm honestly not too knowledgeable on this stuff, but that sounds like it would be absolutely impossible or if it was possible, it would be incredibly dangerous.
Dammit, i wish I could find where I read it (probably some small WordPress blog, I'm always on those) but I once read a between two trannies feeling awesome and laughing in a comment section, talking about women who had to get their uteruses removed. All because "that makes them just like us, transwomen who can't have babies/don't have uterus" lol.
No fags, it doesn't. They had to get their uteruses removed because they had serious health problems. They would still be women if they had to get their breasts removed too to avoid dying from breast cancer. You, however, are a delusional man who cut off his balls and penis.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, science is way closer to the lesbian dream of allowing two women to have their own kids without a man's help. Of course, that would make trannies angry too.

I used to not have an opinion on the matter. I don't care if someone is trans or not, I'm willing to respect them as long as they respect me and aren't assholes in general. But seeing more and more mtf openly shit on real girls and women for talking about feminism or being lesbians weirds me out so much, especially when they don't have the slightest idea what being born as a girl, growing up as one and being treated like shit by some people because of it actually is. Trans women online are just so entitled in general, they make fun of "nice guys" while crying that lesbians don't want to have sex with them all the time, it's annoying. They also love reinforcing harmful stereotypes on men and women, which is pretty shitty since it makes teenagers think they're not girls because they don't like using makeup all the time and other stupid shit. But tbh, I don't care about how they fuck up their bodies because of their dysphoria. I see people say it's fucked up that they're allowed to do this and that it's paid with tax money but there's way worse than that.

Most of them you can find on Tumblr. Despite what they may try to make you believe, trans people are a minority.

They grow out their hair and wear earrings but they don't slather on makeup and get surgeries, and honestly I'm fine with that. I'm more comfortable with someone dressing and portraying themselves as a female rather than someone getting surgery to look like a Barbie.

it's funny how trannies unintentionally punch down on women because they - ironically - fail to logically apply their own SJW/progressive ideology and are blinded by their own privilege of having lived as a man most of their life. As soon as they hear "trans", they think they're automatically the most oppressed group exempt from any and all criticism no matter what they're doing or saying.
http://everydayfeminism.com/2017/01/no-unfair-advantage-trans-athletes/highlights:
>starts out with "People generally have an assumption that trans women have an inherent, permanent athletic advantage for life based on their assigned gender at birth."No, people don't assume based on assigned gender, they do based on their sex.
>Oft-cited factors against trans women’s participation in women’s sports include: height, weight, narrower hips (supposedly making it easier to run), smaller breasts (making arm motion more free), wider shoulders, and a larger ribcage (meaning lung capacity is greater).>The common trope for trans women is that we’re all tall, narrow-hipped, small-breasted, and masculine-appearing. This simply isn’t true. I happen to be tall (6’1”), but wide-hipped. I also have trans friends who are 5’4” and 130 pounds.That doesn't change the fact that males and females have inherently different bodies, with much less variation between two people of the same sex than two people of different sexes on average. He's basically saying "well some men have bodies similarly to the average woman's too so that excuses it!"
>Moreover, what opponents to trans women’s inclusion in female athletics often gloss over is the drastic effect that a standard regimen of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) has on the athletic performance of trans women.HRT never does FULLY change, reverse or convert the process that is the development of a biologically male makeup up until the start of the HRT, which is certainly not at birth. It rarely reverses anything, if yes, it would have to be carefully examined that the result resembles females' characteristics averages significantly. Growing breasts or having a higher voice is a laughable attempt at justifying a body being as much a woman's as any biologically authentic woman's
>Every athletic trans woman I know shares this same experience, and yet the comments at the end of Joanna’s article show that cis people just can’t get past our assigned birth genders.again making it about gender instead of sex. Real subtle way of deflection
the entire point of male and female categories is that they're significant, useful averages separated, essentially "by nature". They aren't man-made or man-adjusted to reflect nature. Of course there are differences between two women where one might be much stronger and have a clear advantage in muscle strength, whereas the other's body is too inferior to even make up for that difference by training excessively. They weren't grown in a tank by aliens, yet HRT designed to make males resemble a more female body is exactly that: a careful, scientific procedure whose margins of error, room for variation and off-target results we're supposed to rely on to resemble that of nature's. It's not valid, it's not ethical
No. 180182
>>180180And that's what really really bugs me about trans athletes. At some point if we allow them to run in women's Olympics and women's sports then the top women will be…men who are 'women'? I mean. Where will we be then? Men will dominate everything and that sucks.
I read a disturbing article about doing uterus transplants that some transwomen are claiming will mean they'll be able to have children an and that already kinda disgusts me on some really deep visceral level. It's not natural at all. I don't believe women are only just born to have babies or whatever but obviously, it is inherently our role biologically and it skeeves me out to think about men trying to fulfill that role.

>>180230thank you so much for these. i mean it.
>>180017>>180015>>180014>>180007maybe i should sage what i am going to say but i do think it is relevant since MANY trannies say women never truly give them a chance. This is the 2nd time I am trying to post this, so I won't say much like the first two because I'm on campus, Internet died, and that annoyed the fuck out of me.
Basically, I had a mentally unstable boyfriend who suddently found out he was female, or, to be more exact, a bicurious transbian - meant he thought guys were pretty attractive but was only into women. I am bi; I fall in love and like to have sex with men and women, so I was pretty much okay with the idea of seeing him change.
I did everything in my power to help him, even though I was not a tumblrina – I never even browsed tumblr to be more exact. He never changed anything about his appearance but I called him by his favorite pronouns - she and her. He was an actor and model. He worked for a trans agency (yes. those exist Canada. I'm pretty sure they exist in the US too). He looked like a guy, acted like one, talked like one, sported a beard and everything, but was a model for a trans agency.
Long story, short story – he changed his mind about being a girl and found out he was male and that things can be pretty fluid sometimes, but nope, he said he was not female. I was pretty bothered by that but hey, it was his choice.
After that I started to learn and read more about trannies and found out the truth that they're all either completely crazies or think they're the most hated group of all times, even though that is not true; they're just the ones who scream LOUDER because of how entitled they are.
I could see that in my ex boyfriend, the friends he got along the way, people online and more. That makes me sad because in the past I'd get really pissy if someone said anything bad about the poor trannies. Well, not anymore; I wouldn't describe myself as a feminist, or at least not as a third waver since I connect more to the second save and the current one attracts too many assholes and snowflakes – but I legitemaly wanted to fight for them. Now I know they really see WOMEN as their enemy and I can't stay by their side. Call me a TERF (which has a such a negative connotation) or a trans critical or normal person: I really couldn't care less.
Trannies need therapy – therapy and maybe meds – not hormones and surgery. We don't go out chopping off legs and other body parts because people are not happy with them, or because they feel like they're disabled inside. Why should trannies be treated like that? Not to hurt the LGBTQ+ feelings? Because they're entitled to it and scream louder than any other group? No. I'm sorry.

>>180295Interesting story.
I have a similar one where I unquestioningly supported a friend who decided they were a trans woman one day. Yet not only was he just a terrible person all around, a liar and a manipulator, but when I started seeing outside information on the prevalence of fetishism (autogynephilia) in MTF transsexuals and hundreds of other women's extremely negative experiences with MTF transsexuals, I realized I had been blinding myself to a huge number of red flags that this friend of mine was showing. His greatest obsession was Nicki Minaj type bodies with enormous breasts, pinched-in waists, and gigantic butts. All he would talk about was his desire for these exteme plastic surgeries all over his body, plus extreme corsetting, wanting one of those world-record type waists, and brag about how he "couldn't wait to show everyone his vagina" once he got surgery and how he was "going to be the hottest bitch on the planet." And of course these cartoonish, oversexualized fantasies were propped up by the social justice community and their willingness to actually crowdfund and financially support every fetishist out there. Tumblr paid for his bills, for his food, and any number of frivolous things he wanted, and he acted entitled to it all because he believed that "trans women are the most oppressed people on this planet and other people, especially cis women, owe us for what we go through". It actually took me a long time to realize this is not how normal, mentally-sound women act.

Not really him, so not his fault. And even if they were his fault, who could blame him, huh? Living in the wrong body…Must be tough, phew.
But yeah, I think that was a lie to help himself accept who he was while excusing himself for his bullshit and having the chance to be born again in a way.
I know most are into it because of their fetishes like you explained, (yikes) but I think my ex was into it for desperation, mostly. I guess that's how things are for many mtfs who are not proper fetishists. But we know they'd never admit that.

One of my friends came out as MTF trans a few years ago and I also supported him because if I wouldn't I'd be the bad one. All our conversation topics were the big boobs he'd want to have and "I can't wait to have my vagina". And god forbid if anyone mentioned periods, he'd go nuts.
The bashing of cis women also happened. Apparently you need to be "girl enough" or else you'd be wasting the fact that you were born a girl; in other words if you are a girl and don't do girl stuff or have big boobs, then you shouldn't be one (yes he told me this once).

Trap / tranny / dickgirl / degenerate scum here, just thought I'd share my views here
I'll admit I chose this life because I prefer looking like a girl a lot, dressing like a girl, acting like a girl, being treated like a girl
I chose it because I enjoy the attention I get from men now, I love the lewd things they say they'll do to me, I love craving cock and I love getting rewarded with it
Dysphoria / hating being a guy is a part of the issue, but it isn't as much as what others say imo
I don't think I'm a girl, I recognise I can never become that. I don't think I can be classed as a guy anymore either though.
Those who believe they're actually a woman trapped in a mans body are mentally ill imo
I'd never get the op because its disgusting. Don't want a fake frankenvagina. Its much nicer and cuter to keep a tiny, barely functioning "feminine penis"
Also screw all the people pushing this trans agenda and pushing this stuff and labels on kids, that's fucked up.

Sorry, Avery. No can do.

You kids have some weird and magical thoughts when it comes to
>being a REAL GIRL ON THE IINSIDE
Like being a girl is so special. Non of you sound like you've ever broken thru the other side of the looking glass. Like being swepcial real girl is a real thing. Sounds like a bunch of pussy cuckold suck ups. Don't you have a smelly vagina to give all your hard earned man dollars to? Wtf are tall posting sooooo much about trannies for if you don't like them?
Real girls are myths. They are so full of themselves, there is no magical real girl inside. They're just jealous and insecure. They're weird. You're weird for liking them actual girls. Male female relationships are not meant to be. We will see this fall apart on its own
Oh yea and wtf you act like we just invented trans. Asians have always had lasy boys. It's like. No big deal. Some are cool some not. Some look bad some look good. They're people.
What a bunch of faggots.
Tell me is this a magical real girl or an evil tranny. Just guess. basically it doesn't matter.
These are all just made up words to describe caveman things.
