It's not about being left in peace. Thats a false concept.but the majority do just want to be left In peace and I feel the ways we go about it is wrong
If it was just about being left in peace, I'd feel bad because mentally ill people cutting off their dicks and tits has any number of reasons to be problematic, but its more than that.
Where the peak for most is, is kids and teens being able to permanently alter their bodies, and the issue of women's spaces and rights being infringed upon. If it was just troons dressing like women in public and having sex privately, and not demanding vast societal changes that harmed other people (kids, rape centers being closed because they wouldn't accept troons), the issue could largely be dropped.
We should try looking at things from their level, get into their heads
People have tried.
but the huge amounts of vitriol there is from people here and many who bully and show disgust at someone just for being trans
You'd be surprised at how many people were chill with trans folk, probably would be by default even today, but because that sphere is one where you constantly bump into speds (honestly, basically the same way furries are), people are completely wary of the trans agenda.
On another note, I'm currently MATI for the way that impressionable kids are being given unsupervised access to the internet. It's obvious that the rise of troonery is caused by young confused teens being bombarded with propaganda on Twitter and Reddit. But what can anybody do? Most parents are unable to police what their children are exposed to online, and nobody seems concerned about this very real issue. These kids are growing up with completely warped views of reality. I feel for the parents who are worried about their child's safety online but lack the ability to do anything about it.
I think this is one of the most understated and underappreciated problems we're facing today. Consider this, raising your kids on television was the norm for most of the last quarter of the 20th century. It's had its own problems, to be sure (MTV generation, Soyboys obsessed with the latest pop tv show, etc), but at the very least the majority of television shows had some basic standards, basic quality control, and chances are that while some kids may grow up dysfunctional in some way, you didn't have cults or crazed people with their own television channels bombarding your kids with propaganda 24/7 (arguably).
Raising your kids on the internet, which seems to be the first default instinct of newer parents (I was raised on tv, surly I can just let my kid mimic me but just with the online world?) exasperates these problems.
The internet is not passive like television. It is an interactive enviornment where your kids will be exposed to and actually engage with other people. Its a place that parents need to take an active role and interest in their kids lives. If you just let your kids browse online and have no idea what theyre doing, its not like the internet a decade ago where you only really had to watch out for pedos and scammers, but you otherwise watched flash videos or watched niche content. You have people with political and social agendas now vying to influence kids into their doctrine. You have people of all sorts of ideologies with platforms who are actively and openly competing for the attention of your kids.
I dont know what the best approach is, but for future parents, Id honestly a) limit internet exposure for kids (Going online only after school, maybe only having video games on the weekend), and to actually know what groups, what people, what spaces your kid is interacting in so you know what it is theyre getting into.
Before television, you'd want to know who your kids friends were and if they were getting into a bad crowd. Its seriously dumbfounding that parents don't treat "who your kids internet friends and circles are" the same way. If you're a parent and find out that your 12 year old is browsing r/eggirl because some sped in discord egged them on into it, treat it the same way you'd treat your kid becoming friends with a druggie a decade ago. Get them the fuck out before theyre deep, and hopefully the state won't ram itself down your throat in the process because "youre oppressing the kids gender identity".
Not even saying that kids can't be trans, but I will never acknowledge the concept that spaces like eggirl arent rife with grooming.
On a side note, has anyone else noticed how seriously creepy the entire situation has become with regards to kids?
I don't know what happened with troons, but if I found out that someone I was talking to was a pre-teen or in their teens in my comminity, I don't know- Id probably, at the least, socially distance myself from them. It just seems honestly a bit creepy how fine they are with preteens in their online spaces, how focused they are on interacting with them and "giving them proper advise/indoctrination". I don't know, it just has always felt off/against the grain for a proper way that adults should interact with people far younger than them.
