I should clear this one up, because read a certain way, it essentially makes me seem like I'm talking out of both sides of my mouth, or countermanding what I said in the post I made before it.I'm not trying to be a dick outright on my second account, but really? If you read my post, all that is covered. The real meat of the argument is that trans ppl are being used for political ends, and there are far bigger assholes enriching themselves off all the misplaced altruism, whether it be trans shit, or whatever the left wing cause du jour is. It has never been about republicans and democrats, that's politics dumbed down to a binary for revenue.
This may be an unpopular opinion here, but trans ppl are still people, as abhorrent and disgusting as some of their lives are documented here. I'm not a fan of the trend, I'm not a fan of the idiocy, but I will stand firm in the stance that I want to hear their voices too. If I seek to silence them, who do I go to for the truth? They won't go away because I wish that to be so, so even though I can't stand their hypocrisy and bullshit, why would I trust a fabrication meant to smear them?
I want to hear it all, and make my own opinions and decisions. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
All trans people have a few screws loose, some far more than others, but all of them have some form of mental disconnect. We are talking about a group of people who wish to live as the opposite sex instead of putting in the effort to be comfortable as who they really are, after all.
When I say I want to hear from them, that I don't wish to silence them, I'm not coming from a position of empathy from them, it's more a desire to hear where they are coming from in order to inform my actions and decisions. It's unlikely in the extreme that I would ever agree with them on much, but I still think silencing them because I vehemently disagree with what some of them are doing and pushing would be a miscalculation at best, and very dangerous at worst. In my opinion, the trans stuff, and the push for it, is a manifestation of the actions of a well connected group, if not a cabal, of people who's dispassionate manipulation of the masses is only informed by their disregard of such and their greed. To me, the politics involved are just another political circus to keep eyes off their true ends.
There are two competing "truths" to this kind of thing. One which is real, that transgender ideology is a total lie, and the other, that is what these people live with and think, which is false. If you silence them, you remove part of your ability to effect change against those who are pushing this pack of lies.
