re: So apparently there is a subreddit full of people that regret transitioning (NSFW)

I've seen this said, and it may be true, but I think the issue is not actual trans people. The issue is predatory men pretending to be trans being allowed into women's spaces.

Let's not act like perverts do not exist. They do. And they will totally use a loophole like this if they feel so inclined.

The push lately has been not just to be accepting of trans people, but to be accepting of them regardless of whether the "pass" as the other gender. Most people aren't actually concerned about trans people who have existed for as long as society has been around. They're concerned about the loophole that would be created by letting sexual predators into spaces for the other gender.

I understand your POV and why I addressed those people as sexual predators because that’s what they are.

How is that loophole closed in your opinion? Do we suddenly have standards for what passing is or what a biological woman is supposed to look like? Talk about slippery slopes.

This world gets stranger and stranger everyday. I remember back in 1996 we went to a wedding in Michigan. The Father of the Bride showed up in a dress and makeup.

It was known he was mentally ill and had issues. People accepted it. Nobody would dare acknowledge this as normal. Now, this is celebrated.

No, it's not that it's "different", it's that the entire trans push is built on representing a delusion as a normal, healthy mental state. It's not nor will it ever be. It's built on pushing delusion and wish fulfillment regardless of the consequences, because it makes the pushers feel warm and fuzzy to not say "no, something is wrong with you".

This whole "gender roles" philosophy is sheer bullshite created by James Money in the mid-50's. Until then "gender" referred to biological sex, even today it still does in the vernacular of most people. People can feel more feminine or masculine than what is generally accepted in a society but to attempt to lie to one's self about your own biological sex is literally delusional thinking.

To then go through disfigurement surgery in an attempt at wish-fulfillment does not fix the issue because they are still biologically their original gender but with Potato Head parts Frankensteined onto them in a poor man's version of the other sex's genetalia. They then double-down on their delusion by demanding society follow along and agree that their wish fulfillment quest succeeded and they became a "real" boy or girl.

They didn't and they won't just like I'll never be 7 feet tall. Deep down they know this, that's why whether they (both pre or post op) they have ridiculously high suicide rates and will always have them.

It's a psychological issue where biological sex has somehow gotten confused with self-identification of feminine vs masculine and probably some aspect sexual predilection (gay/straight/bi) but has manifested itself as an outward dissatisfaction with the physical self (see also: anorexia). Continuing to treat it with flags, surgeries, parades and pushing kids to question their "gender roles" before they even have pubes does nothing but make the problem worse for everyone.

You mean there WAS a subreddit for trans regret

Because I only have one shot at this life. Watching friends and coworkers pass away gave me an incredible fear of my own mortality. And I won’t be there, dying on my deathbed with a massive amount of regret. I tried to fight this for 35 years until I couldn’t fight anymore. I tried to kill that pain with alcohol and it nearly wrecked my life. I knew from a very early age, that I was different, but I couldn’t do anything about it. Growing up in the south, transitioning was unheard of. My own parents told me “you don’t want people thinking you’re gay do you?”
So I squashed every ounce of this, until I couldn’t keep it hidden anymore. A combination of things like feeling safe, my career stable enough, and my kids old enough, let me come out.

You can only believe this if you also believe their is no objective truth and that anything that can provide a "positive" "outcome" is ok as long as it doesn't offend someone, while also being able to redefine "positive" and "outcome," to any wanted whims.

And you state "doesn't make it wrong," as a fact, when 1) Even taking away religion, our ideas have shifted many times. We once thought lobotomies were solid responses to mental illness. Right now we think transitioning is a solid response to mental illness 2) Bringing Faith into the discussion, which represents many people on the other side, just because something feels good doesn't make it automatically right by definition. And many religions correctly rely on seeing and understanding limits to human pleasure-seeking.

So yes, it can be wrong, and no conservatives aren't scared of something different. Most of them believe in objective truth (and yes, there are always bad apples who don't, or who take that belief too far with little understanding).

Automatically saying they just don't like different things is incorrectly reductive.

Because nut jobs like stout and angel whatever her name is think that they want to make all kids trans and then have sex with them against their will. They have somehow convinced their warped minds that there is an actually an entire political party who has this as their agenda.

the horror. Maybe trying raising your kid with your own closed minded belief system instead of having the TV raise them. just a thought
