Off-Topic Random Trans Thoughts, Musings, and Questions - For all your armchair psych and general sperging

[Twix Eatr]

I think what gets me is that ultimately they're just deceiving themselves. I just don't get how, even if they manage to coerce everyone into enabling their bullshit, the fact that they're near entirely dependent on pharmaceuticals and empty validation doesn't trouble them more.


Exactly. It's honestly kind of crazy to me how many trannies I've seen idolize Hunter Schafer when, if anything, I don't think it's a very good sign that that's the best they've got. I've said it before but it's especially dumb to me that these people are used as a way to argue in favor of puberty blockers at a young age when evidently it doesn't make too much of a difference.

I think they push Hunter so much because he's young and popular and they are still pushing hard on trans-identity being a real, innate thing. "See? This young successful troon is normal and happy because she was allowed to be her true authentic self."

Yeah, they’re all like “you’ve been in the bathroom with trans women all along and you never knew!” and then present Hunter Schaefer as the best trickoid they have to offer. If he’s the best of the best, puberty blockers ain’t enough guys. Sorry to tell ya.

Such a silly argument, too, because if they were truly "stealth" like that, there'd be no argument or issue on their end to telling troons to stay out.

"tendency to interpersonal victimhood"

Because mtfs are much more violent compared to ftms. It's simply biological for mtfs to be violent, not to say there aren't violent pooners out there, because of Audrey. But it's much more common for a mtf to start flipping out and attacking random people.

Troons exhibit male pattern criminality. That says all that you need to know about their "female brain" claim.

Why don't pooners own guns? Whenever a post from transguns gets posted here it's always a troon. As someone with guntism I can tell you it's my most overwhelmingly male hobby. I've seen one woman at my range in 2 years, and she was just a members girlfriend. You would think they'd be interested in such a dudebro hobby. Maybe it's a good thing they aren't so there aren't more Audrey Hales.

Because guns are confusing and boring to learn about and make loud scawy noises and could hurt someone, dood!

Spoiler: words!

I don't know how else to say it, I think I respect trans people too much? About a quarter of my IRL friends are LGBT, and they all have such amazing life stories that make us stick together better. Though I will say I know very little about the specifics of transitioning, but am still supportive because they are nice people to hang around and pretty normal (moreso than me, lul).*
BUT
I can't lie that it does kind of suck sometimes. Maybe I'm a bad person for thinking in a hierarchy, but I don't know if unchangeables (like race, sexuality) are comparable to changeables like gender at an innate level. I somewhat chastize friends who entirely cut off their families to transition, though they tell me there's a "window" by which if they don't get started early enough they won't look good and "pass" later on. It feels like a sunk cost fallacy waiting to happen. I don't care what gender you say you are, like I don't care what religion you are, as long as you don't push it in my face the same. These are deep, personal questions you need to ask yourself about. I wouldn't let a Reddit atheist change my worldview, and I won't let some Discord drama get in my life either.
(Then again --- as someone who went to college to escape a religious nutcase fam, maybe they have a point?

God why is that thinker so big lol
Anyways I feel like a bad person for having these thoughts and not being an unconditional ally. But I mean, this website is just a niche retard corner of the internet where we can say anything right? I will still make fun of people who eat shit from plates (guess which thread I lurked b4 joining) because they eat shit from plates, I will still make fun of Chris-Chan for... being Chris Chan. Transitioning is just an accessory to their personality I guess.
I don't care what they do in the bedroom, even if I think they made dumb decisions with their lives. I guess we have detransitioners to thank for normalizing the idea that it might not be a fix all for everyone? Live and let live, or whatever. Sorry if this post makes no sense LOL I'm just writing my thoughts outas they come.
* I'm bi too, and I think I have a better case as I can kind of hide my sexuality enough to not raise eyebrows. I plan on going no contact (or basically as much as I feel I need to be) once I can graduate, move out and live on my own. Sorry for the TMI lol

Good for you for speaking your piece. I hope you find whatever conversation you need to have to get your thoughts straight here, since it's so hard to find it anywhere else.

Let yourself off the hook for the "wrongthink"

Not every thought contributes to whether you're a good or a bad person. TRAs like to pretend it does though, which is why their movement is so gross and insidious. (This thought delusion is also common in many mental health issues.) The concept of wrongthink helpfully shuts down any dissent. You either toe the line completely, or you're a bigot.

After a long time of being a "good person" with the "right thoughts," I had some good-faith scientifically-based questions. Asking them to my friends automatically made me a bigot. And that's when I realized it's a cult and I headed for greener farms.

Nothing about me has changed. I wasn't innately "good" before and I'm not innately "bad" now. It's just that I don't let myself get emotionally exploited by people who project their own mental health issues onto others.

Edit to add: you'll also find a lot of people on KF are LGB with nowhere else to go (irl or online) where they can say shit like "lesbians don't like dick" without getting banned and called a transphobe.

Spoiler: on wrongthink

I like to think that my friends, trans and otherwise social liberal, are much more accomodating than the movement or what ive seen of it online. They will entertain my "wrongthink" on some things, and for my part even if we disagree I dont pressure them to think the way I do because I know they just wont.
I want to be a nice person, regardless. I don't want my friends to die. A friend's friend who was trans committed suicide about a year ago and it's kind of wrecked her and everyone else on campus. Even if the person who died was evil and a groomer ideologue or whatever, he was just 19. That's too young to put yourself in a position that can't be changed for good. I can't call myself a hateful person for this reason, and others.
I also think it's bad to assume that lolcows and other internet funny people represent everyone. There are retards in real life, sure, but they aren't my friends. My friends are different, and their lives matter.
Anyways I don't really know what my point is. I just wanted to share my perspective which I think is grounded in reality.

 

[Paper Machete]

Don't live and die by being "nice". Act in accordance to actual principles and desire to do good and stand by the truth. Don't let people hang suicide over your head for how you should act. Losing a friend is awful but it's also awful to emotionally manipulate others by threatening, implicitly or explicitly, that you will harm yourself if people think or act in certain ways. Don't let volatile emotions and insecurities dictate how you think and how you live. This goes for any relationship of any sort you'll ever have. That's my two cents.

Forget the gender nonsense just for a second.

"Do [X], or I'll kill myself!" is emotional blackmail. You are not responsible for someone gakking themselves because you wouldn't humor their delusional fetishes.

Under any other circumstances, society would rightly scorn this as crazy person behavior. The only reason it isn't is because it involves the Slaaneshi Sacrament of Gooning.

It wasn't related to why they died, but was still part of who they are. They suffered from mental health challenges (low self esteem, depression) which is why I feel bad, not because they got mad about being misgendered or something.
I don't think it's emotional blackmail to feel bad for them, personally. I do think that suicide is still selfish, and that they hurt a lot more people in doing it than they would have had they stayed alive and lived on as a discord coomer or what have you

You sound like a sincerely kind and caring person. I'm not gonna tell you you're misinterpreting your own feelings, but I would exhort you to guard your heart and set boundaries.

Unless you're a doctor, therapist, pastor, or parent or legal guardian, it is not your job to save or cure people who are mentally or emotionally volatile, trans or otherwise. I tried to be nice and "fix" people whom either I couldn't or they didn't want to "fix" for far too long.

Guard your heart. Know your limitations. Set boundaries. It may prevent you from becoming a jaded, cynical prick like me. Wackos and narcissists love to prey on nice people like you.

Has anyone noticed a lot of people being fed up with the trans nonsense lately?

It's sort of hard to say. I find it impossible to speak with any specificity about what I think the average, majority, or given percent of society is that feels a certain way about a certain topic, but I do feel like the needle has been moving a bit. To what extent, I'm not sure, and I'm wary of the selection bias in polls, but I do feel like a nonzero amount of change is happening.

 

[Sandshrew]

So what happens when all the young MTFs hit "twink death", starting to bald and age like males typically do? Mass 41%-ing?

Probably, or mass shootings. We damn well know these aren't stable individuals.

repost via Radfem Hitler (@hollowearthterf) on Xitter.

The OP, Diane Yap: "None of these are appropriate names for grown men."

Spoiler: lies, damned lies, and statistics

1. "Most [adjective] [noun]" is inherently dishonest because it highlights outliers (a group's distinct brand of stupid), regardless of how rare the stupid is in the group.
Note the "at least 1500 registrants" threshold: this is arbitrary, and probably helps to mask some fanciful Democratic naming trends.

2. No one in the replies points out these are pooner names.
2.1 The implication is pooners are white and influenced by what the OP tries to pass as "Republican culture".

3. The OP is too cowardly to post Most Democratic First Names, which are black, spic, and various spellings of Muhammad. I didn't find the original article (Zachary Donnini is a libshit with a Substack, it's not on there) but here's WaPo, with a threshold of 750 voters.

2. No one in the replies points out these are pooner names.

They're also the names that young Millennial mothers really like. There's a bit of an overlap between pooner names and the names Millennial mothers give their sons. The youngest voters were born in 2007. A 30-year-old with the name Kaden is probably a pooner, but an 18-year-old with the name Kaden could be an actual male.

I guess, I felt fake when I gave into the cult mentality (not to mention how often I got backstabbed) and I'm still discovering myself and what I stand for, thank you for your advice.

Edit to add: you'll also find a lot of people on KF are LGB with nowhere else to go (irl or online) where they can say shit like "lesbians don't like dick" without getting banned and called a transphobe.

That's what I hear about this place and why I decided to join, I lurked and found some genuinely pretty hateful threads though. Any advice on how to navigate this site for a noob?

Welcome to the farms.
I have LGB and T friends too. They are wonderful people, albeit a little naive sometimes (swallowing leftist propaganda). I want them to thrive and live happy lives. We have to remember the ones featured on this site are the bottom of the barrel.
Then again especially the T among my friends are seriously mentally ill, they stand out in the rainbow crowd like a sore thumb. I see their views as something they desperately cling to to rationalize their delusions. ("I was never happy in my boy body, so I must have a woman brain")
And in a sense, I see telling a friend "you're not a real woman" is like telling someone "you're fat" constantly. It might be true, but you still make someone sad or upset with it. And while I don't support hormones and SRS as a solution to the trans/dysphoria problem, I don't change how this is dealt with when I keep pointing my friends attention to the fact they're "broken".
I can have a critical view on the current state of trans healthcare overall and still be a friend that doesn't have to mention this all the time. My friends are still lovely human beings and I'd hate to see them suffer.
I don't say yes to every delusion the T friends come up with, though. I voice my concerns. But discussing in good faith shouldn't boot you from the group - if it does, you should definitely leave.

Today is J.K. Rowling's birthday, and I've seen so many people wish death and violence on her. It's incredible how violence against someone is acceptable if that person is labelled a "TERF."

It’s a great way of peaking “allies.” “Hey, have you noticed how trans don’t express these violent fantasies against men? Why is that?”

Why don't pooners own guns? Whenever a post from transguns gets posted here it's always a troon. As someone with guntism I can tell you it's my most overwhelmingly male hobby. I've seen one woman at my range in 2 years, and she was just a members girlfriend. You would think they'd be interested in such a dudebro hobby. Maybe it's a good thing they aren't so there aren't more Audrey Hales.

Because they’re women.

Has anyone noticed a lot of people being fed up with the trans nonsense lately?

I think people are more willing to express it. Maybe not TTD, but I have a lot of fairly liberal friends who will no longer scold me, or even join in, when I make certain points about trans men and women. For instance, I can very openly point out that the only women in certain hobbies are troons, or that that’s because the overlap between troons and autism is a circle.

Gay men have absolutely had it, though, particularly the older ones. They’re vicious and I love it.
