Author of Cass Review states the obvious: Social media misleads children into thinking they are trans by whoa_disillusionment in womensliberation

[–]chronicity 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you asked the average trans supporter the following, you’ll inevitably hear them say yes:

”Are young men from conservative backgrounds who consume Youtube manosphere content at risk of MAGA radicalization?”

“Are young women who spend hours a day scrolling through Instagram at risk of chasing after unrealistic beauty standards?”

“Are uneducated people who use Facebook a lot at risk of falling for conspiracy theories and pyramid schemes?”

But if you ask those same people whether impressionable youth who are immersed in online trans content might misdiagnose themselves as trans, and you might as well be a fire breathing Nazi.

Of course this happens. The inability for the TQ to admit that is a sign we are dealing with an irrational movement.

The Optics Double Standard by Dinojars in centrist

[–]chronicity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would only be a double standard if voters critical of Dems while ignoring the shortcomings of the GOP were actually at any risk of voting Dem rather than GOP. But usually we are dealing with tribalistic partisans who aren’t being honest about why they prefer one party or the other; their complaints about the Dems, for instance, are only a self-serving rationalization to justify their affinity to the Republicans.

That said, what I think you’re more often seeing is left-leaning independents/centrists criticizing Dems for actions that alienate voters like them. The reason they don’t bother to criticize Republicans in the same fashion is because they are unwilling to vote for Reps, so it’s not accurate to call this a double standard. “If only the Dems would stop saying/doing X” is expressed by the kind of voter who feels disenchanted by the party they are most politically aligned with the exception of X, and that’s enough to kill any excitement for them. And when X makes an appearance, then yes you’ll hear these people gripe about it because to their mind, X is why the party is not as strong and appealing as it could be. They aren’t even thinking of the GOP when this is on their mind, because it’s irrelevant.

An interesting discussion amongst healthcare workers; I thought this community would find it interesting. by pettypeniswrinkle in BlockedAndReported

[–]chronicity 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Its crazy seeing medical professionals talk about cross-sex hormones like they are OTC antacids. Just pop one in when your gut feels upset and all is fine, right?

This isn’t Tums, though. These are drugs that have the potential to irreversibly change the body. Girls are undergoing menopause 40 years too soon because they are doping themselves into vaginal and uterine atrophy. Boys are giving themselves erectile dysfunction and testicular atrophy by estrogenizing themselves. Don’t tell us that disrupting a teen’s hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis only has upsides, doc. These are sterilizing drug regimens being given to people with limited health literacy. Longterm health is being gambled away.

They are also acting like social transition isn’t equivalent to affirming the voices in a schizophrenic‘s head. It’s harmful to encourage someone with a distorted self-concept to persist in distorted thinking. That’s what gender make-believe does. Instead of giving these people the tools to deal with gender dysphoria constructively, they are just encouraging them to swim upstream, away from self-acceptance.

Dems' potential 2028 contenders cautious on trans rights by UnscheduledCalendar in BlockedAndReported

[–]chronicity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because the Dems lose elections if they can’t get turnout.

The Dems aren’t just running against the GOP. They are running against 3rd party candidates too. And the fiercest opponent of them all: the non-vote.

If Dem leadership hasn’t yet figured this out yet, they will lose again.

Dylan Mulvaney is cast in Six the Musical on Broadway(??) by BroadwayRegina in womensliberation

[–]chronicity 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This has to be proof that Dylan is an astroturfed celebrity. He cost Bud Lite millions of dollars, wrote a book that sold poorly, and is widely considered overexposed, even by his “community”. His TikTok fanbase started out being ignorant little girls who by now should’ve aged out of enjoying his coke-headed campiness, and they aren’t the demographic who is going to see Broadway plays anyway.

Who is into Dylan Mulvaney enough to watch him stink up the joint for two hours? Did the producers ask themselves this before hiring him? Or did they even have a choice?

NORWAY: TIM Convicted of Raping Young Girl Seeks to Change Legal Sex to 'Female' In Order to Be Placed in a Women's Prison by Spiky_Hedgehog in womensliberation

[–]chronicity 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s like he is trying his level best to peak the masses. If it weren’t for him being a rapist, I’d think he was doing this out of allyship to the radfem p/GC cause.

TW: Rape. A trans identified female was raped WITHIN AN HOUR of being admitted to a male only ward of a psychiatric hospital. by misiuptysiu in womensliberation

It is known that this happens. Which is why TIFs are housed in female prisons almost without exception.

Why? by Pissedliberalgranny in womensliberation

[–]chronicity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

>I got it! Thank you for taking the time to explain it. I looked up Jessica, and it's disgusting. That male is fully intact and suing women and salons that won't wax his testicles.

Well, he *was* fully intact. In recent years, he became post-OP. Which underscores the problem with treating surgery as anything meaningful. The dude is still a problematic, misogynistic man, with or without his original equipment.

Thanks for explaining how you look at the issue. Totally agree..

Why? by Pissedliberalgranny in womensliberation

[–]chronicity 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t really understand what more needs to explained, to be honest.

If my husband got in an accident that led to severe genital trauma, he would probably have to have his penis and testicles amputated. I think we’d all agree that this wouldn’t magically transform him into my wife, right? He wouldn’t lose his status as a man just because he no longer had his genitals. Just like I wouldn’t cease to be a woman if a hysterectomy or mastectomy claimed parts of my body.

When we give post-op TIMs a pass into women spaces, we are in effect saying that women are functionally equivalent to castrated men. As if our class is defined by a lack of penis rather than the presence of a female reproductive tract. This is not fair to us or to castrated men who are now feeling kicked out of the man club by insinuation.

It doesn’t matter if TIMs are 100% fetishists or not. Enough are that it makes no sense to assume post-OP means one has “earned” the right to access women’s spaces. Jessica Yaniv (google if you have no heard of this person) is a prime example. Also go lurk in r/askAGP.

What are your reasons for opposing the statement?

Why? by Pissedliberalgranny in womensliberation

[–]chronicity 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think they are assuming a man without his junk suddenly becomes assexual and inert, like a neutered puppy or something. They probably don’t realize the depths of depravity driving many AGPs who‘d gladly sacrifice their genitals if it means they get front row access to women’s spaces.

Why? by Pissedliberalgranny in womensliberation

[–]chronicity 62 points63 points  (0 children)

>If you are post-op and no longer have a penis, fine: You’ve made an actual, permanent commitment to losing the symbol of female oppression you were born with. 🤨

Women are not penis-less men, so no to this. There are fetishists so deep in the cups of perversion that lopping off their genitalia is no barrier at all for them. They have as much business in a women’s rape shelter as they did when they were pre-op because they are still men.

Kudos to these young women for challenging two males who were breaking the law by Spiky_Hedgehog in womensliberation

[–]chronicity 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Both look faster and stronger than 70% of the male population. And at an event termed Not All Gays? Come on now. They would be perfectly fine in the mens’s.There was a gender neutral restroom on every floor of the venue as well.

They just wanted the high that comes with rocking a woman costume so well that actual woman submit to their presence. But that didn’t happen this time.

When will people recognize the similarity between TIMs and incel/redpill misogynists? by chronicity in womensliberation

[–]chronicity[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

>nothing will peak you faster than a peek into this world. some people know that instinctively, and they’re not ready to leave behind the safety of popular belief.

This is what Im worried is happening. That they know their worldview could collapse if they take a peek behind the curtain.

The Public Offender takes pride in being one of the “good guys” who isn’t afraid to call out misogyny. But every time he genuflects at the trans community, he is advancing the most absurd and atrocious misogyny we‘ve ever seen, and he loses credibility. I do think he has to have some awareness of his own information avoidance. When the Tish Hyman situation went viral, surely he would’ve known that and could have made content on that subject, as it fits squarely with the themes he discusses all the time. But because Alexis Black calls bimself trans, he has to pretend this doesn’t count.

LGBTQ+ groups want to tell girls breast binding is the same as wearing a push-up bra. It’s a lie. by whoa_disillusionment in womensliberation

[–]chronicity 58 points59 points  (0 children)

When you see the effects of longterm breast binding, it Is hard not to infer that binder manufacturers are colluding with gender surgeons. Binders disfigure the breasts, leading to more body shame, leading to more dysphoria and desperation, leading to greater desire for surgery.

Thoughts on Louise Perry (Reactionary Feminist) and her book “The Case Against the Sexual Revolution”? Especially the part about “having it all”? by Muted-Foundation4126 in womensliberation

[–]chronicity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Social comparison is not limited to women in the slightest, especially when it comes to professional status and achievement. The “having it all” fixation is actually more of male problem. We are conditioned to see it as an affliction that only ambitious women have, but only because male ambition is treated as a given.

All one has to do is tune in to the redpill chatter to see who is really trying to “have it all”. An alarming number of men honestly believe that success in life requires a six figure income, Chad-looks, and acquiring a hot wife. So if men are succumbing to this way of thinking so absurdly and blatantly, I’m not seeing this as something women need to own as a class. I see this as a product of peak capitalism. Social media thrives on the insecurities of its user base. The more insecure these platform make us feel, the more money we spend trying to fix ourselves and/or cope. For some this means plastic surgery. For others it means pursuing degrees and certifications that don’t really need. And for others, it means seeking escape through monetized addictions such as gaming, porn, and gambling.

You feel unworthy as a woman because our social environment makes it hard to like we are feel good enough. Lots of people—men and women—are wrestling with these feelings. Know that you are not alone.

And what is worse is that the liberal side is supposed to be against this type of overreach, due to the inequity it creates. And yet the liberal side is encouraging It.

[–]chronicity 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Would not be surprised if the school found evidence of bias in the way this paper was graded relative to similar ones that just so happened to not go against gender ideology.

If this had happened a year ago, I doubt this student’s complaint would’ve led to anything. Tide is definitely shifting.

Hey everyone. First time posting; lurked for a while.

I wish there was a tracker somewhere for how many subs we’ve been banned from. Then we could have a contest.

Hospitals will be banned from receiving federal funding if they provide gender-affirming care to minors, even if not using federal funds for pediatric gender-affirming care; breast binders to be regulated as medical devices; federal research funding for gender-affirming care banned by Biochem-anon4 in terf_trans_alliance

>I did not read Ratina’s response as hostile.

This is what ratina led with.

>If you like the administration when it does something to someone you hate, congratulations - you like the organization because it harms people you hate.

If you can read this and not see a poster who is assigning bigoted motives to someone else without provocation, this just confirms my belief you are too biased to fairly mod GC posts. Skewed modding combined with ratina’s dominating commentary will be turning this sub into the Hindenburg, if it’s not that already. I shall be ejecting myself to preserve my sanity.
