re: Minneapolis shooter confessed he was ‘tired of being trans’

You make baseless accusations

And you write paragraphs without saying anything.

Do you use preferred pronouns?

Can someone explain what exactly this accomplishes?

If you address someone as to what exactly they are, why would someone be offended?

“Cry it out” was never going to be a viable treatment for mental health issues

quote:

---

It just depends on how you view the situation. Do you see a mentally ill person desperately trying to convince the world of something and decide to refer to that person as the gender they are presenting as vs do you see a mentally ill person who deserves to be antagonized and ridiculed?

OK I'll play along and then you'll ignore it



This individual is a known TikTokker that purposely puts themselves in situations to where they can be misgendered according to their description and then feign outrage and try to get free meals and money to continue their attention seeking behavior

So how does this person deserve to be treated?



Notice I used the inclusive language in overt sarcasm

quote:

Generally yes, because triggering or escalating a mentally ill person is not something I delight in or find productive.

quote:

---

I have never supported trans ideology or affirming care.

---

Ok. You also said this…

quote:

---

The consensus here seems to be that further excluding and dehumanizing trans people

---

Can you define dehumanizing? To what were you referring? Can you give an example?

His psychosis predated the trans stuff by a while. The trans shite was clearly a symptom of a much larger psychological problem for this particular individual.

His obsession with doing a mass shooting predated his trans shite by almost a decade. I don't think the trans stuff really had much impact on the larger picture.

Now the nihilism? That seems to have contributed greatly. People are focusing on the less important variable (trans shite) and not the one that's emerging as a legit threat (the online culture of nihilism in the youth) , like the IVF bomber that had partisanship relating to abortion incorrectly attributed to his worldview/manifesto. The IVF guy was a more extreme example promoting Efilism, but the underlying nihilism is the recurring theme.

So he was trans because of his mental issues, he didn't have mental issues because he was trans. I think most would agree with that.

“I only keep [the long hair] because it is pretty much my last shred of being trans. I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed myself,” he wrote, according to a translation by The Post.

“I can’t cut my hair now as it would be embarrassing defeat, and it might be a concerning change of character that could get me reported. It just always gets in my way. I will probably chop it on the day of the attack. “

It's pretty freaking sad that his parents enabled his behavior as a minor rather than being real parents and stepping in to straighten him out or get him the psychological help he undoubtedly needed. In the end, it was pride that got him. He was too proud to admit that he was in the wrong to have wanted to identify as female. He didn't want to deal with "embarrassing defeat."

I doubt that there is a single person here who doesn't have something in their past that causes some internal wincing upon reflection, knowing just how embarrassing it would be to come clean about some incident in the past.

Proverbs 16:18 rings so true time after time: "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."

Innocents lives were taken yesterday, families were shattered, and a confused young man's soul condemned irredeemably to hell all because of pride. (It's very telling that they continue to call it "Pride Month" and "Pride Week" and hold their "Pride Parades.")

You can make a pretty strong argument that pacifying them like you seem to suggest has been catastrophic for everyone.

It's the equivalent of mothers telling their children that people pick on them because they're "just jealous of them."

While that's all true, people want simple answers and want a group to rage about. Particularly when that group isn't like them.
