Definitely agree with this. The thing that is interesting to me is Tony has become very agressive in citing himself as an authoritative source on a wide range of topics he is wholly unqualified to speak on and he has been doing so with increasing frequency.
Isn't Tony (and TRAs in general) excuse for why the suicide rate is still high even after transitioning is because of "discrimination" and "lack of acceptance"?Tony, and TRAs claim gender affirming care reduces suicide rates, and improves mental health, but then they turn around and blame transphobes for why the suicide rate is still high even after.We've seen posts by troons where they state their mental health declines whenever they get misgendered, someone refuses to date them, or a tiny part of their body makes them dysphoric.The body part one interests me because its evidence of the theory that gender affirming care is only a band aid to the main problem with a troon.Troons maybe happy at first, but then as time goes on there'll be another part of their body that'll make them dysphoric and suicidal.They'll keep repeating this process until they realize that its impossible to be the opposite sex.Just like we've seen posts on the trans subreddits.
This is a better description of "gender affirming care" which has two false premises in its name unlike "evidence based medicine" which is an accurate description of the perhaps impossible goal.
This is correct. Tony did not understand what Cantor said originally so he spent all day trying to find "gotchas" on words and phrases taken out of context. Cantor was too smart and knew exactly what Tony did not understand. He even helpfully explained it to Tony a few times but Tony was already blind with rage at being challenged and euphoric from getting such a big name to pay attention to him so he never noticed the off ramps he was being provided. He, of course, was never going to realize that he was wrong, let alone accept it, but his arrogant ignorance demanded he not even see the outs at all.
Doubtful, it's obvious to even the most casual observer that those are his opinions, and I doubt anyone that matters really care about what he says. Also a waste of cash
As with many lolcows I'm struggling to get past the "reasonable person" standard. It's certainly not impossible and I'm not suggesting it would be entirely futile but the burden of building a case that enough people believe Tony's tweets seems too high. The irony is that if Tony continues to build the "career" he desires this would be easier and easier. Especially since he makes so many claims of his expertise and accuracy. And many journalists seem to believe them to where they use him as a quoted source. At the current juncture, I would recommend suing any outlets that quote Tony making such claims for not knowing better or checking his claims, especially since they have money and larger platforms.
Among adult troons in Sweden, the number of dicks need to chop in order to forestall one new case of psychiatric consultation (NOT death by suicide) is 49.
Tony isn’t trying to prove a point he genuinely believes, but to win. Very masculine behaviour. This will provide further material for my own academic paper, “Troons are just men who couldn’t hack it lol.”
Tony is desperately trying to divert his attention and failing. It probably works for most people - get them worked up about irrelevant crap and claim victory when they can’t respond.
He is the embodiment of why social media is bad for society (he said on a forum). His thing is boiling concepts down so they fit into a handful of tweets or a one-minute video, aimed at an audience that’s already biased in his favour. Terrible formats for intelligent discussion, perfect formats for liars, bullshitters, conmen and midwits.
Anecdotal but some anorexics will hyper-fixate on one body part until it meets a certain bodycheck requirement. Once that one is achieved, they will hyper-fixate on another. What is the GRADE of providing liposuction on each area? Oh, we don't have one cos encouraging such behaviour is lunacy.
Agree. He doesn't understand that winning in an argument based on fact, isn't to beat your opponent into submission (which is not actually winning), but to provide facts that prove your point.
Wait, I'm sure Tony claims it isn't a mental illness and that's why all therapy is "conversion therapy" but now he's citing the DSM-V. What other conditions in the DSM-V require removal of healthy organs for treatment? And if it is a mental disorder, doesn't that mean that they aren't actually a true and honest member of the opposite sex?
“Dear Mermaids, my son is 12 and I’m worried that he’s going to start masturbating and looking at girls and not wanting to spend time with his mother. Getting his cock cut off would be the perfect solution, but he hasn’t expressed any girly feelings.”
There is no justification for GRS that fits Tony’s agenda. If it’s a mental disorder, it should never be treated with surgery. If it’s a physical disorder, there should be presenting physical symptoms that disappear or reduce after treatment. But most troons seem content to keep it vague - some kind of unspecified essence that is the opposite sex. Which is totally outside the realms of medicine.
Why is he bringing that up?No one denies gender dysphoria exists.What people deny is this whole idea of being born in the wrong body and having the opposite sex's brain.Again tony would send articles about trans brains existing and yet him and other TIPs refuse to get MRI brain scans and post the results to prove their lady brains.In fact i had a TIP tell me MRI scans aren't FDA approved for diagnosis because maybe scans have too many flaws.If that's the case then why should we trust any study in regards to trans brains?Funny enough the troon in question believes that MRI scans will be common practice in a decade once its approved by the FDA and it'll shut transphobes up.
Tony's favorite method of debating is answering all the questions except for the one that was actually asked.
