Yeah, and that includes those of us whose political and social views aren't leftist/liberal. I'm sick of being gaslighted and disrespected by "allies" who aren't even part of the community acting like we all share the same views, or that we all feel oppressed or victimized. I think we're better off without "allies" for the most part, to be honest. Y'all only showed up recently, anyway.
Or it is a bunch of nonsense. A person can have a desire to be called a particular pronoun but has no right to demand that others do so.
Both are examples of naive, gullible kids manipulated and indoctrinated with irrational bigotry.
Conservatives aren't the ones pushing for puberty blockers and "genital reassignment surgery" for children.
Honestly, Pride sucks, anyway. I went to the parade and festival here yesterday. It's just some corporate, overpriced nonsense with partisan political crap thrown in, much of which doesn't even have anything to do with LGBT people. (I thought it was ironic that they had pro-abortion activists there, when there ain't much baby making going on there.
) It's also very boring. I don't feel any community from it or represented by it. I don't even know what it's supposed to represent, even.
Of course those who are LGBT can belong to any corner of the political spectrum, but aligning with those who view and treat you as subhuman doesn't make any sense to me.
Both the extremes of the right and left treat us like garbage. The leftist activists aren't our friends, either. They want to erase transsexual people, throw out biological reality, push this on kids as activists in schools and punish anyone who doesn't agree. So neither side are really our friends, and both should shut up until we learn to be logical about the issue. Because everyone is just screaming nonsense into the void and not listening to others.
I'd much prefer to be talking about social housing programmes, national investment funds, workplace democracy etc but often I find the political debate and commentary are dominated by trans issues. I think it is important that cis people provide protection and solidarity for our trans siblings against a pretty dark right wing campaign of vilification. However, I suspect that getting caught up in that argument is the intention of the project.
You must prefer to shame kids to suicide, because you don't seem to support mental health, either.
Does this apply to other medical procedures, like surgery to fix cleft palates or clubfeet? Should those children be "left alone" as well?
The parents should decide!! Oh wait..
It's a perversion of normality. People think it's normal and natural now when at one time it wasn't normal at all.
What an utterly ridiculous comparison.
There's always been members of every marginalized groups hoping to be 'the good one,' pulling up the ladder behind them for anyone who doesn't meet their standard of in group. Like, you're mad that people (both in and out the trans community) think being a politically conservative trans is self-defeating and harmful, but you trash talk the same community constantly, going on about how you dont identify with it and say you don't want to be part of it due to the sheer number of people who dont hold the same ideas you do. And you want to exclude anyone lower on the totem pole than you, including nonbinary trans or trans who don't have the same idea of passing. Like... are you surprised you don't get a glowing reception?
Puberty blockers and genital surgery has ever been available for kids on conservative terms. They just don't believe gender dysphoria exists or has relevent medical treatment. I (and medical science) does. And while I would never suggest someone who doesn't need them use them, I would sooner ban routine circumcision than ban the availability of those treatments.
"Like... are you surprised you don't get a glowing reception"
No ****, so are the rest of us.
Then why are you giving him **** for being honest?
You can't refute something so......
