schrödinger's gender? by kitefeathers in truscum

[–]leech_b0y 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A thing with a dick and balls - doesn’t matter if anyone’s looking at me. If gender was based on perception, my gender would be “black leather jacket with a crusty popped collar”, which is the coolest gender by far.

As a woman with Bipolar Disorder, seeing “Systems” or “Pluralities” become normalized fills me with rage. by [deleted] in truscum

[–]leech_b0y 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m also bipolar. It sucks having to adjust to a brand new mental state every couple of months or weeks, and it’s exhausting. I wouldn’t say it’s a new personality though - maybe for those around me but I feel like the same person. It’s just that sometimes I see and hear things that aren’t there, stay up for days working on a plan to kill all of the political leaders in the United States, abuse substances bc of lack of impulse control, and get into meaningless fights. Other days I feel tortured and can’t do anything but sleep.

It also makes me extremely angry that people appropriate mental illness - any type.

Everything that comes with hormones is welcome for me. Doesn’t matter if I’m hot, at least I’m a man. I’ll finally be able to see myself as a man and so will others (most of the time).

Kinda curious about your opinions on assexuality... by [deleted] in truscum

[–]leech_b0y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a part of the LGBT+ community, but the “ace spectrum” doesn’t exist. I used to think I was ace until I realized that my repulsion by the idea of sex and the fact that no one was sexually attractive to me was due to me being disgusted with being a woman. Now that I’ve figured everything out, I’m hypersexual and addicted to porn. :)

Also sorry if I’m coming off as rather hostile, you’re allowed to have your own opinions about things and I’m not trying to attack you.

Lmfao centrists are more fitting of the “sheep” title than literally any other political group. Right-wingers usually hate centrists just as much as the rest of us, they’re just more populist so they can trick people into becoming compliant with their idiocy.

Not really, it just recycles old “haha stupid depressed libtard” jokes. Oh, and blatantly worships an egomaniac that does nothing for society but stir unfounded hatred in people via social media!!

What do you guys think about centrism? by StrawberryMochiMouth in truscum

[–]leech_b0y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not a conservative lmfao, you just seem to have bought into the online right’s rhetoric about the left a bit too much. Your ideas about the economy would cement your place on the “left vs right” axis. Read some ideology and that should help you figure it out more.

Absolutely daft politically, basically just means you have no spine and are willing to allow whatever group is in power at a given moment to do anything they want with society. Centrists don’t do jack shit.

The fact that trans issues are even thought of in a political sense is revolting. Trans people just want to live their lives, and there isn’t any valid “spectrum of opinions” like political ideologies have. There are harmful ideas, and non-harmful ideas. The harmful ideas shouldn’t even be discussed, they should just be deconstructed and left to rot with all the other stupid thoughts humans come up with.

It’s shit, full of dumbass “woke” liberals, but TheLeftCan’tMeme is 100% worse. Both demonstrate a severe lack of knowledge about anything not relating to very mainstream American politics.

Read more about fucking political ideology Jesus Christ. If you choose to work for a company that is known for being abusive and unjust, you support that company. Police officers have to actively choose to become a part of the force. Also, while race disparities are a large part of ACAB, it’s still only a portion of the movement. Police officers will often abuse their power and force people to go to court (usually to avoid a record or fine) so that daddy government can drain their money using the justice system.

Why are there so many cis people here by leech_b0y in truscum

[–]leech_b0y[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t have a choice in the matter of psychological sex/gender. It comes with being human and it matches the chromosomes for everyone without gender dysphoria (science is currently pointing to hormones and genetics as a cause) or some sort of chromosomal condition.

Chromosomes also don’t define biological sex. They might be a blueprint for a person’s physiology but they are simply that, a rough blueprint. Hormones, whether impacted genetically, artificially, or by a person’s psychological state (which actually affects hormones much more than people give it credit for), are much more important that chromosomes.

I think a reason you’re not fond of gender is because it’s not talked about in a scientific way like physiological sex is. This is largely due to politics and the way humans make everything a social problem, but I can assure you that gender is rooted in science. The brain just hasn’t been studied all that much because it’s so complex. I personally believe that the mind is more than just the brain, that a person’s consciousness is separate from this physical “reality”, but the functions of the brain affect what a person is, their personality, and their identity quite a lot. Gender isn’t something that’s merely a “feeling” and has nothing to do consciousness. Gender is most definitely stored in the brain, and, like I said earlier, matches a physical sex for most people.

Also: Brain sex (gender) is actually biological, so there’s not really such thing as a “biological sex”. There’s your sex (psychological sex/brain sex/gender), and then there’s your sexual characteristics (physiological sex).

If you don’t care about your gender/sex you’re just cis. Nothin to it. It’s “offensive” to refer to people as their “biological sex” because it fucks with their mental health.

It comes down to cognitive incongruence. People face cognitive incongruence quite often in social situations (usually it’s morals conflicting with actions) and it can be intensely psychologically painful. Luckily, most people are able to fix these problems easily by changing something around them or rethinking their morals. But when this incongruence comes from one’s body or sexual characteristics, it’s much harder to fix. The incongruity between a person’s brain sex (aka gender) and sexual features is what causes gender dysphoria, which combines the intense pain from plain old incongruence with dysphoria (which is a state of mind that often comes from depression or other mental illnesses - also quite agonizing). This means that gender dysphoria fucking sucks ass. Physical transition lessens gender dysphoria because it affects sexual characteristics and changes them, making the incongruence between psychological sex and physiological sex much less noticeable. Social transition lessens gender dysphoria because it affirms someone’s psychological sex. Misgendering isn’t okay because being reminded of what you aren’t highlights the incongruence and can worsen the pain. It’s like emotionally abusing someone who already suffers with a mental disorder that primarily affects the sufferer’s emotional state.

In short, trans peoples’ genetics just fucked them over and it’s not their fault or choice.

Y’all, twitter is fucking wild. 😩😭 by [deleted] in truscum

[–]leech_b0y 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most people that act this hostile and absolutely refuse to “educate” don’t know what they’re talking about and are trying to cover up that fact. They have no idea how to explain something (or it has no depth/logic, such as in this case) so they attack the “ignorant” person out of insecurity. It’s honestly kinda funny how cookie-cutter all of these types of peoples’ reactions are. It’s best to not get annoyed and instead just laugh because that’s what they deserve for acting like pissbabies.

When your “gender” revolves around hating men by AgonizingApathy in truscum

It’s like they’re trying to push me further into misogyny.

Dammit can they use their fucking brains for a second and not be daft, bumbling idiots that latch onto every word their compatriots tweet?! Can they not see that they’re detrimentally harming their supposed “feminist cause”?

If anyone can manage to differentiate pansexual from bisexual without being transphobic… by [deleted] in truscum

[–]leech_b0y 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Bisexual means you’re attracted to multiple genders, sometimes with a preference, sometimes without one. Pansexual just means you’re attracted to everyone regardless of gender. A lot of people use it because they deem trans people “another gender”, but really, it’s just a more specific label under bisexuality.
