The rhetoric that you can somehow make kids trans that would otherwise be cis just by exposing them to new ideas is getting extremely tiresome. Everyone should know that's not true by now. I'm convinced the people posting memes like this know they're full of shit and are just dog whistling that they disapprove of anyone different than them, a la homophobes talking about how gayness is "unnatural" when that's observably false in actual nature.
Once kids are able to relate confused inarticulate feelings with coherent patterns of behavior, they can begin to conform.
Sometimes, that conformity means adapting their presentation and physiology to their new gender. Formerly cis-presenting kids transition under this model.
Other times it means internalizing their anxiety and closeting themselves to avoid social stigma. Cis-presenting kids delay and decline to transition under this model.
A Woke Teacher encourages the former while a Based Trad Teacher encourages the later.
In Caitlyn's case, it seems to be disapproval of people like herself. Even after coming out and transitioning... still seems to hate herself.
She’s not special for it. Hating her is one of the few areas where she actually agrees with most trans people
She's definitely not in a good place. The people she preaches to are primed to think she's at best a pitiable freak and mentally ill for being what she is but she's addicted to being their pet trans woman because she's so keen to feel more somehow respectable than other trans people.
It doesn't seem like at all a healthy place to be.
you silly, don't you understand, someone "finding themselves" is actually just being lied to by big identity, that spiritual retreat that they had last week was probably a scam from even bigger identity.
/s because i haven't hit my quota for today.
also tiny rant, literally everything is fucking unnatural, go get dysentery, and die in a ditch from sepsis. THATS NATURAL.
An interesting observation from another source: since being straight and white is now the worst thing ever and we, especially the males, are now responsible for absolutely everything that goes wrong anywhere in the universe and everyone hates us for that, any kid unfortunate enough to find themselves in that predicament is going to identify as just about anything else in order to retain some degree of popularity.
The only one who feels that way is you. Even then I really don't think you actually believe that.
There's nothing wrong with being a straight white guy. I am one. The issue comes when you fail to recognize that gives you a huge advantage because you're seen as the default, perfect combination of traits in the eyes of many. You'll be treated better than others in some forums, on average, just for being you. People who hear that and then say "nuh uh, actually its the other way around because you people are fighting against the status quo. Also you're brainwashing kids by exposing them to viewpoints I disagree with." are the problem.
Please keep self victimizing. Its telling.
damn you must not go outside much.
You should try it sometime, the amount of straight white guys that are outside is probably about the same as the amount of straight white guys that are alive right now.
Have you tried acting trans simply for popularity sake? I am genuinely curious if it's something you would be willing to try and ultimately what your take aways on the experience would be.
