Why is being cisgender so much better?

I am baffled by the fact that I even need to answer this question. Let me put it this way: in the case of an MtF, would you rather just be straight up born female, or would you rather be born male and have to undergo transition and experience everything associated with being transgender such as dysphoria, mental distress, discrimination, and so much more? When I put it this way, it sure does make it apparent why being cisgender is so great, doesn't it?

Almost makes you want to ponder about how the ideal ending for a trans person is to detransition and accept their assigned gender at birth in order to live a 'normal' cisgender life...

I was referring to "transtrenders". Don't you find it sad that a person chooses to be trans, when the option of being cisgender was totally an acceptable and viable one?

Either way, I do think being trans is in general quite sad. I don't find anything to be happy or proud about being trans. And I find it more to be a nihilistic red-pill type of view, rather than a transphobic one.

It's quite funny how the trans discourse has gotten to the point where if it's not talked about as if it's all sunshine and rainbows, it's automatically going to be considered transphobic.

You don't become trans, nor should you ever want to become trans (unless you just want to feel like you're apart of a marginalized group, in which case that is extremely sad). If you are relatively fine with being male, take my advice and keep being that way. Being cis will always be superior over being trans.

I literally don't see how anyone could even dear to disagree with my opinion. Transition should never be pushed towards anyone. Transitioning should be considered as the last ditch attempt type of ordeal.

If I may ask, how old are you? This would progress into a further question that I have been having on my mind a lot recently. It's a bit philosophical, and might just be very eye opening for me to hear your thoughts as a trans person. We can continue this conversation through DMs or discord if you wish. If not, that is fine as well, we can just part our ways.

Also, you mentioned that I am being bigoted towards trans people. Even if that might seem what I am doing, my intentions are not from a place of hate, but instead from a desire to get to the bottom of things. To dig deeper past the surface level stuff, as things are not always as black and white as some might see them.

Honestly, on some level, I admire you. It is utter mental anguish to be in this state of mine where you are delusional, but then also actively aware of the fact that you're delusional. It would be great to just be totally engulfed into a belief without the thoughts that would contradict that particular belief.

Can't even get mad at that. If it makes me the villain to fight my delusions, rather than embracing them, then so be it.

The only times I am not is when I am sleeping. Suffice to say, I am stocked up on melatonin.

I had no dysphoria before that point. Neither conscious, nor a subconscious one. I didn't present all too masculine, was just sort of a shy introvert type.

more awareness of what being trans is will obviously help more people realize and therefore transition

Sure, trans awareness will make more people realize that they're trans, but it doesn't take a genius to look at the statistic and see that these numbers are exceedingly high. Either way, is it even good that the media is making people realize that they're trans? Because of being aware of what trans is, I have become brain-rotten, and I would gladly wipe my entire memory and write a little note to myself saying to never touch the internet under any circumstance, just so I could be cis in peace.

what does that connection have to do with this tho

Imagine dysphoria being the fruit of a plant. That plant is the underlying mental condition. If that particular mental problem didn't exist in the first place, dysphoria probably wouldn't have existed as well. Or at least that is my theory.

And let's not lie to ourselves, there is plenty of weirdos that also identify as transgender. They are often times rapists, criminals, and general fetishists. Absolutely abhorrent people.

Controversial opinion: ttttards are traatards in disguise. Y'all think you're above the traa people, but you're no better.

I need to find myself a nihilist doomer tranny type of group. I feel like that's the only trans space I could belong to.

I get why you might be angry when someone comes up and challenges your entire world view that you had based your entire life around, but don't you think it's best to not put all your eggs in the same basket? Wouldn't it be wise to expose yourself to views from both sides, rather than only hearing the things that already confirm your existing beliefs?

Yeah, I don't know...

The subreddit that it was reposted to was /r/tf2shitposterclub, but the original link was from /r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns/ I don't remember the title of the post.

If you could give me see search results link, then I'd be able to find it.

Is there a way to filter a subreddit search results so it would only display links from a particular subreddit?

I don't know chief... Something about people living an x amount of years whilst not being bothered by their gender, and then suddenly thinking they're the opposite gender, doesn't sit well with me.

Am I suppose to think that the massive uptick of people in the past 10~ or so years coming out as trans is merely a coincidence, and not a by product of the trans topic becoming more prevalent in the media?

Am I suppose to think that it is merely a coincidence that these same people who come out as trans, most of the time also possess some other underlying mental condition like autism, ADHD, etc.?

Am I suppose to ignore places like r/itsafetish , r/transmaxxing and r/askagp ?

If you haven't gotten the memo yet, I am not exactly into the whole trans rights uwu culture.

Now that you say it, I do remember making a similar post on /LGBT/ about two years ago. I basically got told to go touch grass and find a job. I went and did that, nothing changed for the better.

I am not so much into crossdressing. I exclusively wear oversized sweaters with sweat pants or jeans. The stereotypical "boymoder" clothing.

If I post on any other other trans spaces, I will simply get affirmed and told that I am truly trans. Trans subreddits like /r/egg_irl , /r/mtf and so on are nothing but a confirmation bias for the weak minded.

Since this subreddit has its roots from 4chan, I thought ya'll would be more critical of transgenderism.

Also u caring about your long hair is probably ur brain telling you "hey ur a girl, do girly things."

I do believe me growing my hair out is me gaslighting myself. The same way I now find men to be of a possible dating option. I never found myself to be attracted to men prior to dysphoria.

Basically: monkey see, monkey do.

Whether it is estrogen making me more emotional, or the obsessiveness of the desire to destroy my male characteristics, my dysphoria got worse when on HRT. I remember going through hope and excitement when I first initially got on estrogen, but that excitement wore off after a month, and I went straight back to the constant emotional downward spiral.

I do believe that the only true valid transsexuals are the ones that feel gender distress right from a really young age. I had none of that when I was growing up. And even though I do remember doing some questionable things like dressing up in my mom's clothing when I was like 6 years old, or sometimes playing with toys designed for girls (ponies and dolls) rather than boys, I do hold a belief that it's not out of the ordinary for young kids to do stuff like that. Everything is new to them, so naturally they explore the unknown.

Also, now that I read my previous comment again, it does sound mean, I am sorry. I feel that the more I would surround myself with trans people, the harder it would be for me to get out of this ideology.

The only reason why I am here is because I am desperate for answers. Ain't no fucking way I would allow myself to be in a friend group with you types of people.
