Reminder we live in current year where it is celebrated to commit self harm through surgery and hormones.
In the western world, when has that last occurred in history? Not counting death in military for glory but straight up self harm.
And people say we have advanced in civilization. We are below the Romans and below the Vikings. We just feel we are civilized because we are the first with interactive glass rectangles.
its indeed horrifying how in modern society, when someone wants to literally mutilate himself/herself this action is celebrated instead of being condemned and prevented with psychological or medical intervention.
if a man would want to chop his own arm and leg in order to ''feel better about his body'', he would be immediatelly be placed in an asylum for havinf severe insanity and some very disturbing desires.
his case would be dealth with psychological coucneling, constant monitoring of his case, and with a medical prescription too, so that they could deal with his mental illness.
however, if a man would want to chop his own penis off, and to mutilate his body in order to ''feel better about his body'', they see it as normal.
its not normal, its insane.
we have fallen a bit as a species, when we do allow such horrendous actions of self mutilation to happen, and to not only be treated medically, but to be accepted and celebrated as ''unique''...
and worst of all, some trans groomers often try to influence other confused children and teenagers to become trans, because they want to put more people through the same paina nd misery that they originally went through.
i sometimes am at a loss for words when i see such insanity. but its absolutely horrifying.
That is not a thing I needed to see, it looks like a botch job you'd see on a "cosmetic surgery gone wrong" show; and yet I know that's one of the better end-results.
Given that trans people have an abnormally high suicide rate, around 48% kill themselves before they turn 40, this takes a much darker turn. As a society we're effectively cheering people on who, statistically speaking, live shorter, more miserable lives and have a near 50% chance of not even reaching their 40th birthday. Worse, this shit is being pushed onto children at younger and younger ages, with children who are yet to hit puberty "deciding" to become transgender by taking hormone blockers; effectively meaning they never actually go through puberty.
i agree with you, my friend: indeed, the suicide statistics for trans people and for people who have regretted having a sex change surgery, is alarming.
i feel bad that all those misguided, confused, deluded people get tricked that they will have a ''better'', more ''unique'' life as women, yet when they get their dick chopped off and the original rush subsides, they end up alone in a bed, bleeding, being in constant pain and being a shell of their former self.
and thats when reality sets in.
they are disfigured. they are a shadow of their former (healthier) self. they are damaged physically and their morale is at 0.
they have been influenced by other trans people (groomers) that this ''would be great'', yet its not.
its all pain, regrets, and a broken body.
and i feel very sad about their demise, as they enter a dark path where noone can ever return.
You know what the real shame is? Any doctor who releases research or studies that go against the narrative will get attacked by colleagues, such as the one John Hopkins doctor who had numerous people in his field attacking him for criticizing it and saying that autogynephilia is real (if you google that phrase you'll get sites saying "ITS NOT REAL"). This means that any research or studies that try to help these people live normal lives where they aren't questioning their gender or chopping their dick off while living life wallowing in depression and self pity is pushed aside in favor of 58 genders.
Even around the time I was in middle school I learned that the scientific method starts with a hypothesis and then uses evidence to prove it, not coming up with an end result and arranging the data so it fits. That's the same method of deception that creationists and flat earthers use when saying "science supports us", and it worries me that any cure is going to hit a wall because it wouldn't be politically correct to come up with a hypothetical medication/therapy to allow someone to accept their body, despite the fact that transitioning (which has extremely mixed results) is. I've seen a pretty common viewpoint online in certain circles that transitioning will be seen as the 21st century version of a lobotomy, and it's easy to see why.
i looked up on ''autogynephilia'' in google/wikipedia, and its a damn accurate description for many of those trans people: if a trans ''woman'' (man) is attracted to men, then based on what they were before the sex change surgery, they were/are in fact homosexual, thus having a homosexual autogynephilia.
if however, a trans ''woman'' (man) is sexually attracted by women, then they are in the category of heterosexual autogynephilia. (or bisexual autogynephilia).
the reason why all those trans ''activists'' and SJWs shout that ''autogynephilia isnt real'', is because it unmasks what is going on there:
that some people who are born male and become trans ''women'' through sex surgery, that if they are attracted by men, they are in fact, homosexual.
they were/are men who are attracted by men. ergo, they are homosexuals.
but they cant accept that, so they (trans ''women'') claim to be ''heterosexual'', as they are ''women'' who are sexually attracted by men.
yet they are not straight.
i think that the most powerful quote from you was that:
transitioning will be seen as the 21st century version of a lobotomy.
indeed, future generations, anthropologists and historians will see this part of our history with shame, disgust and fear for what we have become.
i have nothing against LGBT people, and i feel that they are human beings like everyone in here, yet the trans (troons) that want to chop their dicks off are extremely confused and mentally ill, if i have to be super honest about it.
self mutilation isnt normal, nor something to be celebrated upon.
