They are burning down lefties Dreams. Utah is a beautiful state but it’s looking even better!
Please explain how words can do "direct harm to bodies." "Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words can never hurt me." You are trying to intimidate and guilt trip well-meaning people into doubting themselves so that they will compromise themselves to lies. It is all sophistry, and it is a form of energetic vampirism where you cause others to deny their own perceptions and feelings purely for your benefit. If you are unhappy with yourself, then figure out why and work to improve it. I hate to tell you this, but no amount of trying to force other people to cater to you will ever make you truly love yourself or feel good about yourself. That can only come from within, when you choose to fully accept yourself regardless of other people or "society."
If gender is merely a social construct, then why would you bother going through all of the trouble of transitioning to a different gender? If it's just a social construct, then why don't you just ignore it? Why does gender matter at all to YOU?
Your own body isn't "wrongfully imprisoning you" by having a gender. Plenty of people feel uncomfortable in their bodies for countless reasons--that is a normal feeling that you are choosing to fetishize into a "movement" so that you can play the victim while lobbying major establishments for social benefits.
I have watched interviews and read forum posts with countless trans individuals who have lived to tell the tale. There are opportunists in the medical establishment who are making a fortune off of these surgeries that leave even the most popular and famous trans stars literally scarred for life both physically and emotionally, and the medical establishment doesn't even know what to do at that point because the damage has already been done. This is a relatively new and trendy phenomenon whose long term effects have yet to be revealed, but the stories I've read about post-op individuals are absolutely heartbreaking.
You are on this forum for a reason. Believe it or not, I genuinely hope that for your own sake, you will revisit some of these beliefs and see the garden path you are being led down while being used as a political pawn. And if you claim that words are violence, then surely you can see the violence in trying to force your own lack of self-acceptance down other peoples' throats and label them horrible things if they disagree with it.
See? When you try to introduce alien concepts like ‘energetic vampirism’ it’s clear that you want to veer away from the basic truth and into these obfuscatory concepts which allow you to shield your ignorance with high falutin terms that don’t really mean much at all.
Women are women and men are men. Some women were incorrectly assigned as female at birth. It’s merely claiming ownership of ones own body and of ones own gender and you should not champion the oppression of pure trans people.
Although it might seem against nature to you in your current morality, the same dehumanising and allegedly ‘scientific’ language was (and still is!) used to justify the oppression and discrimination of black and brown bodies.
All trans people want is not to be killed for being trans and to have civil rights like any other human. How many trans folk must die before they are recognised as human?
"Energetic vampirism" isn't a scientific concept--it's a metaphysical one. But it's a very real phenomenon and I'd like more people to become aware of its effects, so I referenced it here.
You can't be "incorrectly assigned female at birth." Your body is your body, and male and female traits are very obvious in humans as they are in many species. Doctors aren't "incorrectly assigning it" by correctly identifying your biology. Recognizing biology isn't "oppressing trans people." Feeling like a woman doesn't mean you are a woman. But of course you already know all of this as any young child with eyes does, so I really have to question your motives and intent here.
Again, you can choose to dress and act however you want--you don't have to conform to gender stereotypes. In fact, we live in a more accepting society in that regard than has ever existed before--I would think you would be celebrating and enjoying that freedom of expression? But it's not really about that really, is it? You just want to control other peoples' speech and make them feel badly about themselves so you can keep on posturing like some kind of victim and demanding special privileges.
What does this conversation have to do with "black and brown bodies"? Now you're playing the race card and trying to appropriate other groups' experiences for oppression points? You think people don't see through that?
Your original comment on this post shows that you do not care about actual women's feelings, so why should women care about your feelings? Why would you come onto a Q forum in the first place? Someone else told me you are probably just trolling, so I have to assume that's all this is. I tried to offer genuine advice and concern for your mental and emotional well-being, and all I got back was insults and false accusations about my intentions. I hope you think back to this conversation down the road when your own personal experience shows you that I was only trying to warn you what a dark path you are embarking upon in terms of your relationship with the truth. Be well, and I do hope you find true self-acceptance, but I don't have time for mean-spirited insults and disingenuous argumentation.
Quit your queer bashing. Quit upholding structures that perpetrate violence towards black brown and queer bodies. Transphobia, misogyny and racism have no part in a civilised society.
I guess you were trolling all along. Silly me for taking the bait!
