I love that assertion he made. I just spent an extraordinary amount of time ensuring that everything in our wiki was accurate rather than just adding everything people alleged. They won't expend even 1/20th of the time I spent doing any research on us or the TLL saga, and most of the shit we're pouncing on came directly from Greta, Nina, and TLL, but somehow
we're the ones who are totally amoral.

I've noticed they seem to care a great deal about LGBT immigration issues now that Nina's had to deal with the system on that end. While the concerns and objections they have raised are legitimate, they are the worst candidates for this sort of advocacy for various reasons.
And some people are just plain ol' re.tarded.

If you never try to fully present as the gender that you feel you are aren't you just a crossdresser?
That post and their stances on what is trans actually don't deviate from those of the mainstream transgender movement. The transsexual subset probably is the largest and that's what the average person envisions when they hear about transgender people. However, the standard trans definition also includes the various non-binary and non-conforming types. So, those that don't actually try to pass as the other gender but have taken other steps to feminize- the crossdressers/femboys and the like- also count as trans. Whether or not one agrees with such a lifestyle or the broadness of this definition, TLL is not deviating from the trans community in general on this issue.
Is it A-logging to declare that I really want to shoot Greta in the face?...A lot?...Until I've reloaded twice and emptied the third magazine?
It is, but the circumstances here are extraordinary and thus I and most other Kiwis who gave a rating pardoned your A-logging and instead rated it Feels.
Alright not much on the activity front today, except the tll gang is taking a Scientology type stance against therapists.
To be fair to them, a lot of therapists are not suited for that profession. Some are just generally incompetent, some lack the temperament and empathy for that job, and some just don't have a treatment orientation or personality which is compatible with a prospective client. The intensive college training and internship don't actually mean very much ultimately. The beliefs on LGBT matters which the mainstream professional organizations adopt and espouse don't automatically become those of all of its members, so a few are going to be perceivably anti-gay/trans anyway. People who blithely go with whoever is at the top of the list and don't vet the therapist are setting themselves up for failure.
All of that being said...
However, I think these people don't like them because a therapist will tell them just what is wrong with them and what they need to do to change that.
But that takes self reflection and hard work.
And many of these people seem to get off on being perpetual victims.
This is why a lot of these people will not succeed with or without the help of a therapist. They don't have the capacity or willingness to see themselves as part of the problem, and they don't have a self-reformist attitude. Psychotherapy is supposed to enable and facilitate progress and recovery, but it's easier just to complain about all the mean people keeping them down than to actually improve. Those who cannot recognize when and how they contribute to problems, will not benefit from therapy much. Those who see themselves and their behaviors as contributing massively to their sickness, they have a higher chance of recovery.
They're paying the man for feelgood meds and hormones.
Those are psychiatrists, medical doctors with a specialty in psychiatry/psychology. Usually a therapist isn't also a psychiatrist since the two paths are very divergent, so they'd likely be seeing someone else for medication.
