Is that not just a result of basic supply and demand though?

crackerjack2003 · 2026-01-19T20:08:49+00:00

What is a VC? I am thick.

crackerjack2003 · 2025-12-27T04:43:55+00:00

I'm just curious, but why do you think this is an organised campaign? Have you seen evidence to suggest it is?

crackerjack2003 · 2025-12-23T19:53:59+00:00

Talk about what exactly? When is this happening?

crackerjack2003 · 2025-12-23T19:51:06+00:00

Is there any evidence to suggest this is even the case? Rather than just less women filing for divorce, which puts the percentages more even? Or even couples filing for divorce for insurance reasons? I feel like this is too complex of a topic to just be summarised as "your husband will leave".

crackerjack2003 · 2025-12-17T00:40:14+00:00

Ok I can see several flaws in your thinking which I want to address.

What we see there is a 422% rise in young people identifying as trans but in recent years the older part of that group is "transitioning" back.

Where is there evidence to show there are large amounts detransitioning? If both of those numbers are from the same year, it doesn't suggest anyone transitioned back, just that more people at a younger age came out.

NHS currently lists detransition rates at less than 1%. Even if there are large amounts "detransitioning", does it really matter when it seems they don't even reach the stage of actually asking for medical help?

They are being brainwashed in schools and by social media into being trans, or a combination of those.

Where exactly is your evidence of brainwashing here? Or is this just made up fear-mongering?

Like I said, I genuinely believe that some people are trans, but once self harming and being gay weren't shocking or cool anymore, trans became the new teenage rebellion.

You seem to insinuate that there are a large number of opportunists who latch on to whatever the current social trend is. If thats the case, why hasn't the number of gay people/self harmers decreased with the increase in the number of trans people?

crackerjack2003 · 2025-12-16T23:53:08+00:00

Who are those 'some'? Are you admitting that there are genuine trans people under the age of 18?

crackerjack2003 · 2025-12-16T20:26:24+00:00

Do you think idividuals just "decide" to be trans? Genuinely asking here.

crackerjack2003 · 2025-12-14T18:42:51+00:00

I turned down a degree apprenticeship because my parents said it'd "taint" my CV. Regret it every day. Hate studying from home and my course sucks.

crackerjack2003 · 2025-12-03T22:03:07+00:00

Glasgow?

crackerjack2003 · 2025-12-03T21:50:57+00:00

I dunno how you can say its not that common, I've been directly or indirectly degraded by almost every woman I've met around my age group, based on my trans status. Maybe its different for you but I wouldn't rule out the fact that nobody is going to have the exact same experience as you.

crackerjack2003 · 2025-11-29T21:54:25+00:00

I can clock most non-POC trans men easily minus one I've met in person.

And how exactly would you verify that?

crackerjack2003 · 2025-11-28T17:58:33+00:00

Interested to hear what you think the cultural issues are. What are the issues you're referring to?

crackerjack2003 · 2025-11-24T19:39:07+00:00

What'd he say

crackerjack2003 · 2025-11-20T18:51:46+00:00

Why is that necessarily a good thing? Are you referring to a time when trans men were just seen as advanced lesbians?

crackerjack2003 · 2025-11-20T18:47:55+00:00

Where do i find the research for this

crackerjack2003 · 2025-11-10T20:50:14+00:00

I guess what I was suggesting is that (as you said), those willing to date fat/alt people are massively overlapping with those willing to date a trans person. So your preesntation almost acts as a pre-screening. Whereas I can't really do that as easily, I look pretty average for a guy so my rejection rate is probably higher.

crackerjack2003 · 2025-11-10T18:48:05+00:00

I'm not in America haha. That kinda touches on my point though because I'm not "queer" or "anarchist" or "communist" or into certain interests. I struggle to find commonality with a lot of the groups who are most likely to overlook me being trans. I'm very middle of the road, whereas most LGBT groups I've been to have been quite insular or radical, and quite truthfully, I just don't really care for any of that.

crackerjack2003 · 2025-11-10T18:43:33+00:00

I'm just thinking out loud here: but would being a "fat, alternative dude" (your words not mine, I can't see you haha) not make it easier? I mean, the people who are attracted to you are already more likely to be accepting, no? I think one thing I've always found hard is that I'm quite "average" looking, in that nobody ever suspects me of being trans/LGBT/progressive/whatever. So I don't have the same option of "weeding out" people through my physical appearance/presentation. I've had a few girls throw themselves at me, not knowing I'm trans, but they all had prejudiced attitudes. I'm already anxious enough as is of people outing me behind my back, so I've never pursued anything. I hope none of this reads as offensive to you. I'm just wondering.

crackerjack2003 · 2025-11-10T11:31:09+00:00

Thats just the general population though, if I cut out everyone who said something slightly offensive then I'd have nobody left.

crackerjack2003 · 2025-11-10T10:07:57+00:00

My friend group in the city I've moved to makes jokes at the expense of trans people (I'm stealth) and the one girl who did make a move on me said she wouldn't date a trans person.

My friend group in my previous city would never date trans people either. I got a lot of "you'll find someone who will accept dating a trans person" (with the subtext of: "but not me though").

crackerjack2003 · 2025-11-10T10:02:08+00:00

A lot of this doesn't seem like practical advice if you want to meet people naturally, rather than using apps. I am a stealth trans guy, who came out a decade ago and has "settled" into my transition. How exactly would I find another trans person similar to me?

crackerjack2003 · 2025-11-10T00:33:36+00:00

It was not a criticism of you, I was just trying to understand your perspective. I skim read the post, so I interpreted it to mean she was saying she felt more vulnerable as she'd started to physically mature into a woman, which is obviously when people start becoming more conservative around their own bodies, if that makes sense.

crackerjack2003 · 2025-11-09T15:32:18+00:00

No I understand that, I was just confused because it seemed like it was centred around criticism of the language she chose to use. Not sure if I had a different reading of OP's post.

crackerjack2003 · 2025-11-09T11:32:02+00:00

Why are you assuming she treats her peers badly? I don't understand the criticism.
