Saw this on reddit. Trans logic at its finest. Detransitioning isn't really detransitioning or something along those lines:

Yeah you see that, I am ex-trans and honestly they dont want to accept that people may change their minds or without killing themselves (they keep on harping on about how all troons will suicide if they dont get what they want).

Its crazy how young girls saw mentally ill mtf trannies and thought "yea I want part of that"

I think it's more that they saw the Kardashians and Jenners (and their ilk) progressively molding themselves into ever more plastic bodies, covered with ever more makeup, and wearing ever skimpier clothes. They watched every influencer on social media putting on Kim makeup and getting Kylie lip injections, trying to check off all the boxes of How To Be Hot. If they grew up on social media at all, they saw an overwhelming push toward a uniform "how to be a hot girl" standard, and all of those decisions were being made for them by some media whores in socal. That one look has absolutely dominated the popular aesthetic for, I don't know, 10+ years by now.

They could have stumbled into a subculture that pushed against this in a healthy way, like VSCO girls and their more natural looks and comfy styles. Unfortunately, they stumbled into a much louder subculture that told them, "You don't have to be a plucked, plastic influencer wannabe who never steps outside their bedroom without full contour on... if you're a boy!"

The new wave of young troons is mostly from white middle-class two-parent families. The parents left them alone on the internet because they had no idea who/what was lurking on the internet ready to influence them, but these kids weren’t neglected in terms of not being fed or parents not knowing where they are; that’s a different demographic.

Ironically these kids probably would have been better off if their parents practiced more of the “I don’t know exactly where my (older) kid is” style of parenting now and then, because maybe they would have been allowed to fucking go outside.

The type of zoomers who troon out are more likely to come from the American middle class helicopter parenting style (which does stunt kids emotionally and socially). Especially early on, these kids were victims of parents who enthusiastically “affirmed” them and went along with everything they wanted in their transition, because they believe that their kids are wise miniature adults: that’s an extremely middle class/upper middle class way of raising children.

If it was a matter of broken homes or absent parents or material neglect, Gen Z troons wouldn’t be so overwhelmingly white (and to a lesser extent Asian).

Do you have a source for this? I can't find any info on what type of households trans youth come from. I think the loudest troons probably do come from white middle-class two-parent families, but there's a more silent (still loud though considering how much they beg for money) majority who come from unstable homes.

It's not entirely the parents fault, there's a big rant I could go on about transportation infrastructure and urban density and car centric city planning and restrictive zoning laws and how they all indirectly limit the freedom of movement of kids and teens, but that's way outside the scope of this thread. The important part is these little shits don't get out enough.

These are for you:

Oh don't worry I don't need to see FtM cringe online. My sister is currently trooning out.

It's more than just that, I think. We live in a culture where being a special snowflake is the end all be all, and a lot of these FTMs would have(and probably did) identified as "gay/bi/whatever" ten years ago, because back then that was at the cutting edge of snowflakeness.

Nobody was handing out Hot Topic vouchers for the goths back then, but now there's state-sponsored chuunibyou.

Because of that shit, I feel so cringe filling the graph "hobbies" anywhere. Vidya, table games, fantasy books, even fucking anime are just as ok as hobby as knitting but each time I think about it, the tard crowd like this comes to my mind. They are the last thing I'd want to be associated with even virtually just because sometimes I play DOOM.

You have to remember it isn't relegated to video or table top games. The tard crowd is everywhere, it just hyperfocuses with men in technical or physical areas. There are autists in the sports world who obsess over certain teams and athletes. There are autistic girls who obsess over the minutiae of what makes someone a Hufflepuff or a Slytherine. Video games are just so popular, much like film or television, that that is where the propaganda materialises significantly more and attracts the most attention. Most people who would be interested in playing card or tabletop games are never going to touch it with a ten foot pole in the first place because of the autists. It also means catering to those autists because they are the ones who happily fork over $80 for a ruleset every three years to keep up with the official guides, or spend thousands on replacing "old" figures. You'll probably find the whales playing Warhammer and DnD are those who have no children and obsess over gender politics. I can tell you right now the people I know who play these are the lesbian, "genderqueer", lesbian, etc, weirdos I refuse to associate with and only know about because my friends who are just generally shy also attend. The latter make up probably less than 10% of the crowd that I know. There are weirdos who obsess over knitting too, the mummy-types who gatekeep it so only those who use certain techniques or create certain themes are welcome. Likewise, 90% of Paradox multiplayer Discords are either Fascists or Communists only and will get into shouting matches over the minutiae of ideology.

It's always a losing battle because they are the ones who have the time and money, and you don't. Massively successful films and games and whatever else cannot survive by pandering to subsections of an audience. Battlefield 5 failed to meet expectations by a huge bar because of it and forced change back to the general audience. DnD cannot do anything but pander to niche groups, which is either nerds who grow up and out of gaming, or permanent teenagers who will never have nothing to spend on. It was almost inevitable to see these changes in that scene. Twenty years from now they'll pander to whatever other thing is in the zeitgeist with teenagers and young adults.

It is good to keep in mind that weirdos are usually only going to be the most visible part of the community. That's actually something WotC/Hasbro's own marketing team constantly says with regards to magic the gathering, so I imagine it's very likely also true for DnD, Warhammer, and a number of other nerd hobbies.

According to the Hasbro's own market research, the vast majority of magic the gathering players never interact with other magic the gathering players, or forums, or communities, or competitive events, or anything. On average magic the gathering players are normies who buy a few packs of cards and play with their friends in the privacy of their own homes. But this silent majority is totally invisible to the heavily invested players, the freaks and the nerds, so the company is stuck between trying to appeal to the most vocal evangels of their product or trying to appeal to the people that actually make up the majority of their sales. That's why you get the "get woke, go broke" phenomenon, pander too much to the vocal minority and you alienate the silent majority.

In short, troons massively overestimate how much influence they actually have over the products they consume, and sometimes even the people making the products fall for the ruse, to their detriment.

I don't have an official source (and I don't know if anyone has actually collected relevant data), I'm just going from observation and trends I've seen. There are definitely a few troons out there from unstable backgrounds, but I don't think they're the majority or even close to it. Most e-begging troons are begging because they have cut off contact with their family on the advice of the cult.

Abigail Shrier interviewed a lot of parents of ROGD girls in her book, and the parents fit the middle-class parenting style I was talking about. Obviously book interviews are not meaningful on a population level, but it matched up to everything I have observed.

I also should have been more specific when I said the "new wave" of troons; I mean specifically the young heterosexual ones who make up the bulk of the gender explosion in the last 5 years or so. I think when it comes to say, HSTS, white people aren't overrepresented and might actually be underrepresented. But Gaydens and transbians are overwhelmingly white.

With the specification about "new wave" in mind (it's usually the people I refer to as troons, or troonbians. Haven't really ever seen a HSTS on the wild), my own anecdata seems to match yours. Most of them even had doting parents, in fact.
99% of the troons I encountered don't know what abuse or grief is, if anything they were or are overly pampered. Their idea of abuse is daddy not dishing out a few hundred American dollahs for a PS5 on demand (which I find disgusting for powerlevel reasons, but I digress), and if they are in actual dire straits it's usually because of absolutely retarded life choices (like refusing cozy, decently paid jobs over not being able to do random shit with his phone. Maybe Europe is different but I don't know of any boss, manager or HR person that would be okay with this)

EDIT: For the record I've seen a nontrivial amount of asian-american and black troons, but even with cultural differences that could apply, they are identical to white ones, but seem to post less propaganda and are more silent about it on social media that isn't like Discord or so. White ones are an overwhelming majority though, but just wanted to point that out.

With that profile pic that reply sounds like the words of a gore fetishist. Yeah that's about the only profile that would find those scars "beautiful". Eugh.
In a way that's what you get for letting Twitter (or equivalents) a say in what's good for you. Because there will always be some weirdo trying to push people into horrible rabbit holes because it gives them a boner.

I think when it comes to say, HSTS, white people aren't overrepresented and might actually be underrepresented. But Gaydens and transbians are overwhelmingly white.

White HSTS were increasingly a dying breed about ten years ago because the acceptance of homosexuality has gone up among the white middle class, so white gay kids just stopped developing gender dysphoria and try to be the other sex to fit in. Ironically, the reason why minorities might be overrepresented there (and also the ones getting killed) is because minorities are often more conservative, will kick their children out and they'll start cross-dressing in order to sell sex to delusional bisexuals.

Of course, from what I've observed lately, it does seem like the white HSTS are on the rise again thanks to narcissistic feminine young gay men discovering that being trans gives them social clout and ability to control their surroundings (and in that sense they're becoming more like the AGPs and not the self-hating dysphoric HSTS of the past).

Every day I am more and more sure that the reason why trannyism of all degeneracies got so popular is that it fits nicely in the hole produced by atheistic society. Religion gives you rite of passage, sense of belonging, supporting community, something to aspire to be, feeling there is something greater than life, structure to a life and a moral framework. No wonder that most troons are coming from materialistic middle class background devoid of any spirituality. Tormented soul escaping the bugman lifestyle and funnily getting caught in even more fake, manufactured metaphysical shit.

If this doesn't illustrate the lunacy of the cult, I don't know what will.

You go from a shy girl with obviously involved and loving parents, to a rebellious teen acting out against society because they're a teenager, to someone who mutilates themselves over an inability to find a solution to their angst, only to end up as an incredibly girly, weak, flaccid-armed, hour-glass-figure-shaped "man" more concerned with pampering themselves than realistically working through their issues. The complete male experience. Sorry, I mean the complete opposite of the male experience.

Also, no, your scars are hideous. They look like self-inflicted wounds. They scream "mental disorders, stay away". It doesn't help that you shout this from rooftops and ensure your social media is plastered with images of your teen angst chest everywhere like Tumblr girls posting their cutting pics.

Iran shows this to unlikely be the case. It's probably just the result of cities becoming the standard residence of 90% of people. These are clearly not normal behaviors yet exist everywhere. The troon explosion started in Thailand, afterall. It's slowly growing in China. There has to be some other mechanism to explain it. It's just not heavily surpressed in the West. Might also explain why homosexuality used to be entirely relegated to pederasty and sexual slavery- you could not openly engage in same-sex behaviors with another person of your class or status, only with those considered your property or well behind closed doors in an extremely unequal relationship.

Give her a break. She’s just storyboarding ideas for Martyrs 2.

I'm starting to think this tranny self-mutilation cult might be bad!

 

[ShitInMyMouth]

Oh don't worry I don't need to see FtM cringe online. My sister is currently trooning out.

I'm going to drop my mask for a second. I really hope your sister is ok and doesn't do too much damage to herself. You have my complete sympathy and I wish there was something I could do to help.

Not sure if there are any resources out there that can help you? If anyone does know of any post them.

 

[Subtlety]

TIF rates increasing really highlights the social contagion aspect of this, the multiple times it's been compared to anorexia or "safe" self-harm should really open the eyes of anyone over the age of eighteen. TIMs "only" have to wear children's clothing, TIFs are virtually obligated to harm themselves with binders and breast amputations to hit the minimum criteria to be trans. This is why many of them want to be non-binary, they can dip their toes into the contagion like their peers but without the lasting damage (except to their community and sense of self).

I don't think we're going to have a rebound like with lobotomies, these are at the end of the day elective plastic surgeries. While men becoming women and vice-versa may hopefully die down as a fad, various aspects (phalloplasty) are part of a plastic surgeon's toolkit.

However, I do think there will be an extreme rebound once the magic gonad chemicals reveal themselves to not be magical, and parents entering their 50s realize their daughter is permanently harmed by what the doctors and thinktanks and politicos sold them, or that their son is actually brain-damaged by pornography.

How many men are being caponized and how many women are getting spayed because internet companies think letting 16yos with fetishes run the place just because they drive engagement? Much to think about.

edit: also this reminder of Martyrs is inspiring me to add it as a euphemism to my transphobia toolbox, thank you fellow bigots.

I've definitely met FtMs in particular who have suffered abuse, particularly sexual abuse. Just not the type of systemic neglect or abuse the other poster was talking about (druggie/physically absent or neglectful parents). Not that one is worse than the other, just that it shows a difference in background for most of them.

Spoiler: Sociological sperging

Another issue is that although current middle-class American parenting practices aren't "abuse" per se, they definitely are producing socially stunted kids. Jonathan Haidt writes a lot about this kind of thing:

Outdoor play and independent mobility went down; screen time and adult-supervised activities went up... free play in which kids work out their own rules of engagement, take small risks, and learn to master small dangers (such as having a snowball fight) turns out to be crucial for the development of adult social and even physical competence. Depriving them of free play stunts their social-emotional growth. Norwegian play researchers Ellen Sandseter and Leif Kennair wrote about the “anti-phobic effects of thrilling experiences.” They noted that children spontaneously seek to add risk to their play, which then extends their coping abilities, which then empowers them to take on even greater challenges. They warned: “We may observe an increased neuroticism or psychopathology in society if children are hindered from partaking in age adequate risky play.” They wrote those words in 2011. Over the following few years, their prediction came true.​

So even though the troons you've met didn't know active physical or emotional abuse or material hardship, they have been raised in a way that fucks them up.

Something really creeps me out about the third panel where the text insists ALL BY MYSELF while the girl, the "self" who is supposed to be actively and independently achieving her ascended state, is lying passive and comatose, while disembodied hands perform the ritual. It's like accidental dramatic irony.
