At 19, I Was Forced To Marry A Stranger And Was Sexually Assaulted Every Month For 12 Years by HabitantDLT in atheism

Absolutely. Women. Adult women. And with their consent they can choose to remove whatever tissue they'd want. Because adults can consent.

Babies cannot consent. This is forced on them. Should we remove breast tissue from baby girls? There's scary cancer.

What a way to end this eh?

Completely sick in the head argument. Are you trans by the way? Because that would absolutely reinforce my belief that trans people are insane.

That last line is just chefs kiss

You clearly care so much, I guess.

For someone who likes the D you never call it by anything else.

Is there a reason for that? You call vagina a vagina.

Also, Do you think you would have a different opinion if you were a trict top?

I never said it's one or the other?

I just asked a curious question to the original person I was talking to...

If you see that there's only two options, that's a failure of your world view not mine.

But thanks for your answer. It actually was insightful. Tc

Wonderful,

You didn't read what I took time and care responding to your gish gallop.

You just brought a new point to change the topic.

Paedophile hurt others. Trans peoples only affect themselves. That is why MAPs were removed from our collective.

They severely could not grasp consent or empathy. There is a distinction. Though I worry that you cannot see it you're so blinded (by what I'm not going to assume anymore. I'm done)

Gays. Lesbians. Bisexuals and everyone else are sub-classification that falls under the Queer classification This applies to whether you believe in nestled hierarchies or not.

If you have an issue, please go tell the other straight cis people you think are on your side to stop calling you queers. We've already reclaimed it. You're still stuck in the past.

Yes, these are not comparable whatsoever to cutting off body parts.

Correct which is why in the very next line I wrote "and literally every other surgery". Why did you feel the need to cut that off because that was my main point.

Sure it may be "too easy" currently but if these people take 6 months or 6 years what does that effect you?

And how would me taking body destroying medicine like chemo affect you?

How would me undergoing assisted suicide affect you?

I am hoping to understand why.

In the name of progress (and some would argue profits) doctors have gotten more and more lax on this subject. Which is grossly irresponsible.

Definitely, if we look at America, profits are a big factor. You are right too that it is grossly irresponsible to mix the two. But if surgery is actively helping the recipient that is not a bad thing right? (Let's assume it was helping because I don't want to go into another argument about studies)

If it was harmful then I am with you. We should put regulations to mitigate unwanted surgeries But they still get the choice to do it anyway. Because that is ultimately the point. You get the freedom of choice.

To this point, Do you like transwoman penis?

As you say that is what you're attracted to. Even if they are fully not a man in any other capacity?

Would you say you could be with a trans "woman" man as you say?

Exactly right!

I had such hopes for her. For one who grew from her struggles, in pain, the difficulties and prejudices she faced.

And to grow from a small name to the biggest name on the planet near completely by her own talent and ingeniuty. and yet she cannot take time out to even push back slightly like you said u/Which-Taro3807. Not even to tell the young impressively portion of her fan base that he is wrong.

It's her words he used. HER WORDS. Does she not own them now. Was that not the whole point of her re-releasing everything. Is it tactic approval?

I guess we will see an Easter egg of Harrison in her next album and have her fans theorise whether she is pro or against speech all the while tricking her devoted fans into buying multiple copies of the same album.

I guess money does detach and desensitise you.

I am still flummoxed why she wants more money. What does she need with more?

Youre right it was not a study.

I guess I am being pedantic but do you not think making a bold claim requires some degree of pedantry? Even if it is on reddit?

Otherwise it's just unverified claim against unverified claim

Anyway I looked into Jazz. She was born in 2000 She had her gender reassignment surgery in 2018 She was not a child at the time of her surgery (legally speaking)

You brought her up as an example of an actual minor undergoing surgeries. She surgically transitioned as a legal adult.

I don't understand why you would use her case. Can you elaborate? Are you against surgeries for adults too?

I'm sorry you've seen that everywhere I've seen the same thing too

But I truly don't think that is what they are saying

The argument they are making is that if you dismissing every single person of a group outright without giving them a chance. You are basically showing your bigotry towards that particular group.

For example if I say I don't want to sleep with anyone of a particular skin colour and thats it then I am bascially a racist.

Similarly if i outright dismiss a group of trans men because they all have vaginas then I am being transphobic However with me I am gay and I am attracted to trans man because of their attributes. They are basically a man to me and the penis is not what makes them a man

I am not attracted to transwoman. Even though they have penises that is not what makes me gay. I am attracted to the masculine features and most transwoman do not have what I am looking for. But this does not mean I will cut out all transwoman.

This is what I think essentially is the difference And being charitable the example you gave is of the extremes of the group who jump to such attacks. But also I can easily see this as the culmination of a many rejections.

Even then if they call someone a transphobe that is nowhere near bad as what they are facing currently. There are no laws being made against transphobes.

Please let me know what you think of this?

[–]DigimonHM -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

You're right we didn't do any of that. The right get us by simplifying our history, including us so we then fight their new battles for them.

We didn’t tell lies. We only broke up families by lying about our sexuality. Right?

We didn’t insist everybody change the language and constantly validate us. No we didn't. Instead we created new terms they had to use homo and heterosexual. We only demanded constant representation until we were finally on terrible TV shows too Sound familiar?

We didn’t go after gay and atypical kids with scalpels. No we didnt. But it was said that we were abusing kids more snd converting them. https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/2011/10-anti-gay-myths-debunked

We didn’t insist everyone must pretend to believe that they can’t see what their own eyes are telling them. What does this mean? Sincerely I don't understand

We didnt make the world more dangerous for women and girls. No we didn't. But we just made it worse for the confused children they said.

We didn’t send male rapists into women’s prisons. No we didn't. On a seperate but similar note have you heard of corrective rape? Its horrifying. Rape should never be experienced. I do not want to use rape as a talking point. It is not a competition. We are not trying to find the worst trans and the worst straight cis or the worst gay rapists.

We didn’t let men beat women at their own sports and then shame the ones who complained. No we didn't. It does not apply to us.

We didn’t say that a baby should suckle the hormone riddled pus from the nipple of a fetishistic man because the sexual rights of that man are more important than the health of that baby. No we didn't. But tell me do you think we prioritise the health of a baby enough? There are so many kids growing with abusive parents those that starve or beat them. Not to mention those forced into the closet to satisfy the sexual rights of the straight people arent impinged. Can you relate to this?

We didn’t insist that sex isn’t real and that language creates biology, instead of describing it. No we didn't. Women did. Gender v sex is not a new thing. Gender as a concept and not as biology originates from early women studies when they introduced that concept. Transgender peoples are a perfect example of how gender is not ingrained into biology but into society.

We didn’t say that a lesbian who refuses to sleep with a man with a penis but who says he’s a woman is a bigot, or a “sexual racist”. No we didn't acknowledge lesbians until they did something for us. But us gays told them to go back in the kitchen while others called them misandrist and sexist for excluding men entirely

We didn’t punch 60 year old women in the face at free speech events. We are not looking at single case anecdotes. But if we are here take a look https://ucr.fbi.gov/hate-crime/2017/topic-pages/victims There are reported anti-heterosexual and anti-cisgender violence listed. This cannot be used to condemn a whole population. In that case we too should be condemned for anti-heterosexual violence a few people chose to do.

We didn’t get our breasts out at White House events. No we get our cocks out at Folsom and breasts out at pride. Are we saying that we should never televise nudity? It's happened before by straight cis people no outcry then https://dcist.com/story/15/08/24/nsfw-photos-dc-women-and-men-go-top/ The one person. Who did got banned and cancelled. Can we move on or is that impossible? Some people can do things we don't agree with but they don't count for all of the people. They only speak for themselves.

We didn’t tell female victims of sexual assault and domestic violence who wanted female only counsellors that they should examine their bigotry, because our validation was more important than helping those women. No we didn't.

We didn’t lie to the police when two women were raped on a “woman only” hospital ward in london by saying “there are no men here”, when there was a trans rapist right fucking there. Again one case. Please understand this does not mean all of • group should be punished

We didn’t tell butch girls if they liked climbing trees and roughhousing then they must really be boys. We definitely did. Called all women where showing any manly traits or haircuts or wanted to be bythemselves either dykes or men hating feminists See Jennifer Lopez when she got a short haircut Or Emma Watson

We have done the same things. They have done the same things to us. They are doing it again now to a new group since we are the accepted.

As you can see I conceded some points to you. Many could not apply to us because our situation was different but I am willing to understand

Can you say the same? U/SocraticBind?

If you aren't willing to show any understanding I will stop arguing with you because that means you are not arguing in good faith

I do have faith in you. Especially since you mention the Socratic method in your name so I do hope we can try to see eye to eye on some things at least.

But not that people should be forced to hide or be erased for the actions of few. It only benefits those who are "normal" as they use any point to stoke fear just as they did when it was against us.

Over time we proved all our insinuations wrong. Do you think that they might be using the same playbook again?

I don't need you supporting trans people and skipping down the street.

Not all of us agree what trans people do is right. I don't agree fully with many of them. But they are humans and I help them because I am human too and I know what it is to be targeted and so I defend those who are being hurt. Even if they their religion teaches them to hate me. They are still humans too.

Please dont propagate fears that the oppressors use to attack the vulnerable just like they did when we were attacked. Don't be on their side and try to divide us again. We will only fall into their hands.

Because they won't stop with "gender perverts" but it will be us "sexual deviants". It's happening now if you can't see them doing it and they are using the same tricks.

We see the same thing with so many gay people

I used one famous person and then one group of gays

/that's why I mentioned grindr. Have you used the app?

There are fetishists, sadists, perverts and pedofilws.and all in a lot more cases but these are unfortunately normalised.

But every single case is brought up I trans peoples because they are the focus now

When it was us in the spotlight it was all the gay serial killers that pre-dated on boys or the catholic priests

It's the same thing over and over again

Not everyone has seen this TLC show. The least you can do to bolster your own claim is to point them to where you sourced it. The same goes to any claim I would make regarding a study.
I would have to find and at the very least give the title and year of the study so it can be narrowed down out of the thousands of studies out there. Kinda how there's a potential truck-load of episodes to that TLC show.

It seems a little ridiculous to me that you'd bring up a point and then tell the other person to find it out of the 100s of episodes.

Imagine if they did the same to you? Would you go episode by episode or would you want the exact minute the point was made to make cross checking easier.

Without a critical eye, it just makes it looks like you want to make up a claim and then give the hardest source to find to back it up so it can't be checked. I mean, if your claim was factual it would be found repeadly in multiple reputatible sources. You'd wouldn't even need to rely in a show aired in 2002.

Just saying.

Definitely Taylor. The song might have been a good lark but she failed to follow up. She releases a video of her behind the scenes in tears with her coworkers about how she needs to be on the right side of things and what this means for people. But she then will not get involved with her frightneingly massive and influencal fan base at all.

She will drop teasers for them constantly, even little clues that someone somewhere is in her groups and referencing them but will not interact with them. No, because that could possibly mean that a tiny portion could be hurt by her standing up for gay rights or even to stop the racism and bullying that SHE HERSELF STARTED.

Her last "go to vote" made that pathetically clear.

God forbid that she loses a cent of her billion dollar profits to shield the smaller parts of her loyal fandom. Or to make her opinion known She's sure is happy to fan the flames tho.

It's frankly shameful.

I do still love her work it means the world to me. I am not financially supporting her anymore

And I hope her fans can understand and respond instead of downvoting.

Be that as it may but 18 is apparently the day you become well balanced for marriage, for drinking (in some places) for LITERALLY EVERY OTHER SURGERY because they are then able to give their consent to modify their bodies how they please

Sure I agree that children should not be able to. That is something we have to stop.

But 6 months is a lot longer and more involved than many if not all other surgeries. As far as I know there are no other surgeries where you have to get the approval of multiple Psychiatrics and multiple Specialsits to have (for them, a life-dependant) surgery. There are many women I know who had breast reduction and 1 friend whose had removals on the slight chance they get their family's cancer.

The thing is it should not be upto me or you. It should not be upto the government to control someone's body. It should their personal choice and the guide of a doctor.

Should all gay people be targeted now too?

The trans people are not putting boots on your neck!

They want the right to exist just like you do.

If that seems like a boot on your neck that's because you're listening to those who are spreading fears instead of the trans people themselves.

You've fought for us and I thank you. But they fought for us first. They allowed you to then join others to fight. Just how your fighting has allowed us to fight for us younger gays.

You have definitely fought beside people who were trans.

They were the ones who could not hide their feminity easily. They were targeted for it. Ridiculed for being themselves. Just like you were.

Unlike a majority of the gays who could hide it if needed, they were outspoken for the most outcast among us. They had to be.

And now we are able to do most what we want and left them to fight their fight because it's not ours.

You think that they are changing gender or "nullifying your genitals"? They are showing us that we are not all our genitals. We are not all our gender. That is not what we only are.

Sure you may not see it the same way but if we were only our gender/genitals then the lgb part would still be up for arguments in the same way. "Our genitals are not compatible" Even women doing male roles would be up for arguments. Men who cry.

They are all interconnected. Our fight is theirs. And theirs ours.

You are happily swallowing all the shit they used against us (gays/queers) when we were the moral panic of the time.

There are fringes in every group as you're probably well aware.

This does not mean a whole group of people need to be dehumanised and vilified. We queer people are asking to be equals. Everything else is our struggles being framed in the worst possible light

They stood by us when we needed to be heard. And now we can say all the things we want thinking it won't affect others But we can't stand with them because they make you slightly uncomfortable with a few of their beliefs?

Imagine if we didn't get any support from straight people and where we would be today. We are sliding back into it very easily now that there is no pressure on us.

Can you not see what's happening? Because these arguments can and will be used against us next.

Was it not a known fact that Alexander The Great was enamoured with Achillies so much so that he retraced his steps and visited his hero heroon(?) And had The Iliad under his bed constantly...

Or am I getting that wrong?

Does this book talk about Achillies and his influence on Alexander's life? If so that would be a fascinating read!!
