as somebody who doesn't frequent this thread, what I find more disturbing than the general troonery in this saga is the intersection of that with the rabid game consoomerism and not just having stuffed dolls but actually naming them. this dude is one of the most repulsive adult children I've seen and what really puts the icing on top is the insane amount of money he must be funneling into the troon industry just to live his low IQ fantasy of being a woman. sadly I think the cope about how YWNBAW doesn't
akshually apply to him because he's not
akshually trying to be a woman is the future of troon rhetoric. as the realization dawns that having a hole punched in between your legs doesn't magically make you a cute anime girl, I think more troons will turn to the stupid idea that chemically and surgically mutilating yourself
akshually makes you something better than a disgustingly basic cis woman.
I know people have often debated how can one prevent or at least deter someone from troonery in the past and it's a question I've thought about for a while. People have suggested things like getting hobbies where you work with your hands or getting into physical activities like sports. I think this can be countered by pointing out that there are a lot of troons who are into traditionally male hobbies like working on cars and shit as well as athletes who switched to women's sports.
it's chronic internet brain disease. there's no real cure for it other than detachment from social media and limiting internet use in general. it doesn't matter what you do IRL, the internet psychologically isolates people from both themselves and their real-life circumstances. and the more you become alienated from these things, the more you live in your head, the more you consider yourself a purely psychological being. eventually your body simply becomes a cosmetic part of who you are. at the same time, being around other people with the same lifestyle reinforces that idea, that flesh is subjugated by the mind. not explicitly of course - that's a little high-concept for the average retard - but it's the subconscious, underpinning philosophy behind things like fat acceptance (your body health doesn't determine who you are as a mind), anti-racism (your racial morphology or ancestry doesn't determine who you are as a mind), internet neo-wokeism (your economic circumstances or country of origin don't determine who you are as a mind), queerism (your birth gender doesn't determine who you are as a mind), and so on.
"touch grass" is (unwittingly, I think) an insightful retort, because the core problem with these people is that they forget that feedback exists between your environment and your body, and your body and your mind, until it's convenient for them to use it to build their internal narrative. i.e.: I was born a man, but in my mind that has formed separately from the input of my body, I have decided I am a woman - and now that I am a woman, my male body is distressing me by continuing to give me male sensations. in reality, their supposedly independent mind that decided it was female was fundamentally formed by their physical maleness long before they ever held the notion of being trans. that's why troons are so psychologically divergent - a trans woman is not, as they would like to believe, a female mind in an erroneously male body, but a male mind in a male body that has deluded itself into thinking it's something it isn't. and no amount of physical or chemical alteration changes the fundamental maleness of the mind or the body.
WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS EVEN MEAN
