I just saw an interesting video by Alan Watts about a different subject that made me think of this. The relevant point is that when we talk to ourselves all the time and become increasingly absorbed in the world of thought, we begin to mistake the world of symbols (which we use to categorize and communicate) for reality. When this happens, it is easier to mislead people, to defend the indefensible through verbal tricks, and to hide reality behind words. Trannies have mistaken the pornified symbols of womanhood (programmer socks, choker, spinny skirt, estrogen) for the reality of womanhood, which is something that we males can never know.
Nothing you can ever say to a tranny will make them as mad as posting a candid pic of them. Words are how they lie. Do not try to debate them.
This is why so many troons are people of clearly high verbal-logical intelligence. They're also terminally online and have nothing to occupy their mind but their own thoughts. They sink into narcissism and introspect too deep. They've been sold a lie that looks strong as steel on paper, but crumbles into dust every time they look in the mirror.
TL;DR thinking too much makes people confused and crazy
great comment
during Ricky Gervais flipout yesterday, several of the terfs kept 'returning to reality' & demanding the trannies show the actual 'harm' they keep complaining about.
harmed where & how?
some conservative reminded them that 1/3 of world still not online, so are all those ppl in indonesian slums transphobes for not using approved pronouns and the word 'cis'?
do they have activists in these slums explaining all of this? lol
another said Gervais not well known in USA, we watch the US "Office" not the UK's. if they do know who he is, not enough to make them hate somebody just because he says so.
these simple facts seem to upset them a lot, and i think its like you say: the trans POV looks good on paper/computer screen
but most of the world does not live in "theory-land".
ppl go online to share pics, chat, score with girls/guys, make money or get a job, shop for boots or cars, look at cat/dog memes, check sports scores... and that's mostly it.
only a minority of over-thinkers (and autists like us) into all these arguments.
its weird to log off and then go to meetings IRL where I hear 'liberals' say "i'm all for trans rights, but these guys are stealing championships from high school girls, what to do?." in short, the liberals will be nice and call them Sylvia but in the end, they don't sincerely believe they are women, they are humoring them. just like if they had some off-brand crackpot religion, liberals tip-toe around the trannies the same way.
i think trannies know this and on some level, it drives them crazy. real life is like some computer program they can't access.
but can't erase.
