this is loving crazy to me, like the type of behaviors that people criticize "SJWs" or "neckbeards" for are the very same behaviors that are being engaged in here, the only difference is instead of it being "left wing" or "right wing" noise, its just the noise of political apathy and self satisfaction

You really shouldnt get to disagree with medical professionals, i think the main issue with trans stuff is its like aspergers in that the majority of people who claim to have it are self diagnosed. This creates and environment where people believe its solely a special snowflake issue even though it does actually affect some of the population.

Medicine can define disorders and treatments, but it sure as hell can't - and shouldn't try - to overreach into social areas. Medicine doesn't - and shouldn't try - to address the authenticity of the target gender. Even if doctors could issue a certificate which says "you're a woman now", that's not going to change attitudes about penises in women's spaces or the desirability of trans people as sexual/romantic partners any more than legal changes of name/gender markers changes those attitudes. You can legislate civility, but you cannot legislate belief.

Yes, the special snowflake brigade complicate the issue even more and have probably even set back the cause. The whole trans* umbrella expansion boosted numbers at the expense of perceived credibility.

Medicine in general also has a pretty appalling track record when it comes to mental health issues and it's horrifying to look back on many of the things on which medical professionals agreed even relatively recently. Lobotomies were regarded as such a breakthrough that their pioneer was awarded a Nobel prize for developing the procedure. The history of medical "cures" for homosexuality is well documented.

Whether medicine is "right" about something is often only apparent in hindsight. In 50 years we may regard the "gender" industry in the same way that we now regard the "recovered memories" industry or the psychosurgeons of last century. It's impossible to tell now whether we'll see those who promote it as heroes or villians and whether we'll see the provision of the very things which trans activists are demanding as forward-thinking or grossly irresponsible on the part of health professionals.

People only started believing it was solely a special snowflake issue recently, when the "trapped in the wrong body" narrative was replaced with "I feel, therefore I am". Prior to that, people might not have understood fully understood transsexualism but distance from the issue allowed a degree of pity. It wasn't something which forced itself into the average person's life. The whole "even if I've got a neckbeard and a dick you will respect my pronouns or else" poo poo has probably fostered a level of hostility which was absent before and ridiculous extremes of language policing have only exacerbated that.

Medical professionals are also walking back the recent treatment of trans issues after studying it more carefully.

People can gently caress whoever they want to gently caress and believe whatever, I don't care.

The thing is gender dysphoria is an actual mental illness. You have the chromosomes you are born with and you can't change them. Intersex people do actually exist but they're pretty rare.

I think the thing that puts people off is you have folks like Bruce Jenner who is obviously physically male and believes himself a woman and insists that you join in on the delusion. It's like if a crazy person believes they're a dragon but get mad that you don't think they're actually a dragon. It's basically like someone trying to tell you that 2 + 2 = 5 and you're an evil bigot if you don't agree.


I've basically realized that people who are really hardcore into political activism or slacktivism or whatever tend to be assholes regardless of what ideology they subscribe to. Everyone is poo poo.

And I say this as someone who is p fuckin' liberal and agrees with 95% of what Bernie Sanders has to say but some think I'm some kind of right-wing Republican\Libertarian\Nazi\whatever and fuckin' lol

Also fedora-wearing neckbeards and crazy SJW tumblrinas actually do exist and I've ran into them in the wild. Both are as terrible as you'd think in person. This is what I get for living in a college town with a lot of nerds.

2+2 can equal 5 for large values of 2. It's both an engineering joke and a subtle insight of how it's easy to view things you don't fully understand in a black/white manner and come to the wrong conclusion.

And yet it's only for certain value of "woman" and "man" that women can have penises and men can give birth. Your statement doesn't really strengthen your position.

He's probably talking about eunuchs, who were granted a sort of a high caste position in ancient china and a few other cultures. You could make an argument to that being a third gender.

Anyone who would do so is stupid and knows nothing about history or gender. Eunuchs were used in places like China and the Eastern Roman empire for entirely practical reasons in bureaucratic positions, because in societies where the family/clan unit amasses political power, a man who cannot have a family cannot amass power and their loyalty remains to the noble or government agency that got them their job and will not be diminished or set against their own ambitions for their family and children.

Also, in old patriarchal societies like China where gross tiny-dicked emperors had hundreds or thousands of concubines in palaces operating under their own internal bureaucracy, the idea of women having sexual liberty made their tiny dicks shrink even tinier, and so men without dicks were ideal to fulfill the roles of go-betweens/advisors/aides/companions for these women.

Google "cultures with more than 2 genders" if you're actually interested, but yeah there are plenty of historical examples.
