I agree with all that you have said. There's one thing I would add, though... the media in all of its forms pushes the grotesque examples (and they push it by design). These examples create stereotypes and generalizations. I work in the mental health field, and I have seen/met many transgenders who want to be under/off the radar, who just want to understand why they are confused and want support to be who they are in that moment, who don't have perversions, and who hide from the cruelty in the world.
I don't know the percentage breakdown of those who are trans and who are taking advantage vs the ones I described above. But the ones I have encountered are not a tiny group. It might be that most trans people are wanting to fit in, and the msm showcases the atrocities as if they are the norm.
I just think that for me what prompted my first post was the absolute cruelty of the comments on the telegram post. Peiple telling him to kill himself. How are we any better? I'm just really sad for humanity, and I wish we had a list of the cabal who did this.
I do agree with your last statement. I feel sad and disgusted at the world every day now, and it feels hopeless sometimes. Telling someone to kill himself is not the way and it is cruel to those who truly mean no harm. But I believe so-called gender affirmation is also cruel. It does them no favors in the end.
Agreed. And I am not one to affirm it... but in the moment, you have to meet people where they're at, even if that seems like affirmation. Simply asking, "Why do you identify as a woman today?" is an indirect affirmation designed to begin a dialogue.
Thanks for "talking" . You"re a good soul. I can tell.
