We all knew it was coming... 'Trans-Age' is here

[BlessedKali]

I've seen some posts on Twitter from profiles claiming to be 'Trans-Age' i.e they identify with a different age...

transage.carrd.co/#faq

''Transage is an umbrella term referring to those whose age identity does not align with their chronological age. It's a label that encompasses a wide range of experiences. It includes those who identify as older than their chronological age, those who identify as younger than their chronological age, and even those who are outside of the age-binary (such as agen't or xenoage individuals).''

I know the thread has moved on but how can age be a binary thing?

I think you’re missing the crucial point of this thread. It’s not about “who you love” or about the labels per se. Have you read some of the links?

Sophie Eastwood, formerly Daniel, is demanding nappies to wear and food to be blended like a baby's and has already been supplied with a dummy at Polmont prison.

But just WHY would they agree?

Prisoner: I identify as posh, I demand silk sheets, foie gras and a butler.
Prison: No don't be daft, you're in prison.

Prisoner: I identify as a baby, I demand a dummy and nappies that get changed
Prison: Ummm, OK here's a dummy, shit we don't want to be transphobic what shall we do.

How about NO!?

Prisoner: I identify as a woman, I demand access to a women's prison, to be called a woman/she and for anyone who disagrees to be punished.
Prison: Of course, be our guest!

WHY?

How about NO! No don't be daft, you're in prison. No, you don't get whatever you want on a whim.

W.T.F. is wrong with us?

@Soubriquet I think the answer to how their mind works lies in the OP 2nd post "everchild"

Or generally don’t tend to wear nappies and suck dummies either

Transgender
Transage
Trans disabled
Trans autism

is already happening but somehow

Trans racial

can't happen. Go figure.

The Emperor’s new special.

And a very dark special at that.

I think that's referring to the 'binary' between reality and fantasy.

The world has gone mad.

She and her husband were on an episode of Botched. Extraordinary.

IMO people have a right to be who they want to be

But why? Where did this ridiculous idea come from?

No one has an automatic right to be whatever they want to be. There are many restrictions on what you can be, imposed by physical reality, ability, law, geopolitics, economics and much more.

Yes, it's good to be able to "be yourself" and feel happy with who you are, of course. That doesn't mean you should get to appropriate someone else's identity and experiences, or get to be accepted as a thing just because you want to be that thing or feel like what you imagine it's like to be that thing.

I might want to be/believe myself to be stunningly beautiful, the world's best pole vaulter, 5 foot 2 instead of 5 foot 10, black, blind, a brain surgeon, a man, or 6 years old. But I'm not those things and although I could conceivably become some of them, it wouldn't happen just because I felt it or said it. Reality still exists. If I say I identify as you, does that mean I can come and live in your house? If not why not? If you start saying people should be accepted as a thing they're not just because they say so, everything becomes nonsense.

Apologies for hijack/derail, but can anyone on this thread who hasn't already please visit the petition page, sign and share the petition below

And, while you're there, sign and share the petition to repeal the GRA. Particularly, and this is important, if you live in Harrow East or Ilford. Or, if you know someone who lives in Harrow East or Ilford, get them to sign it. Thank you.

On thread, this has to be a parody.....doesn't it?

Yep that’s where this is going 🤬

There is something very wrong with our schools if kids seriously believe this nonsense

IMO people have a right to be who they want to be

’…he is pretty demanding on the resources of the prison and enjoys being the centre of attention. It’s difficult to know if …he really does feel a natural inclination to be treated like a baby or if it’s just some kind of attention seeking.

How TAF is that difficult to know.

Ah bollocks. My post went wrong. Can’t be bothered to sort it now.

There is so much wrong for us to get to this point.
It’s going to take years to roll this back and still so many are supporting it. I am particularly puzzled as to why some women do. If they have so much sympathy for trans ppl, why no sympathy for women?

This is incredibly dangerous thinking. Have you done any research at all?

I wonder if kids can I'd as older so they can get the higher rates of minimum wage and the like.

Yes, I think most readers' response is 'I could tell you that for free'.

I think that's referring to the 'binary' between reality and fantasy.

That totally makes sense.

Oh, cake, here is the link for the petition to repeal the GRA, if anyone fancies bumping it past 10k tonight, that would be great ...

Don't be surprised when your daughter tells you she has a new pupil sitting next to her in class. A 36 year old bloke who now identifies as a 6 year old girl

It’s difficult to know if …he really does feel a natural inclination to be treated like a baby or if it’s just some kind of attention seeking.

But why does it matter if he "really does feel a natural inclination to be treated like a baby" - SO WHAT? When did this start to matter?

Lots of people in prison I'm sure really do feel a natural inclination not to be there, or to have a nice hot bath, or a takeaway. Or perhaps to be able to indulge in a variety of sexual tastes and paraphilias that they can when not in prison. SO FUCKING WHAT. They don't get to! I don't think prisoners should be mistreated, they should have their human rights and basic needs met. But why should they get their demands met as long as it's about some kind of sexually gratifying "identity" but not other things?

What about the women prisoners who "really do feel a natural inclination" not to have sex offender males in their space? Why don't their inclinations matter when they are far more relevant to safety and based on reality?
