Transmaxxing

Article in Unherd by Mary Harrington about 'transmaxxing', a phenomenon in which young men transition because they can, not because they have dysphoria but in some vague hope of having sex with sympathetic women.

It's reminded me of Ollie London, who assumed that just because you can do something (in his case have surgery to make him look Korean) it's okay. No ideological awareness, no ethics, just a why not? kind of attitude.

Once you realise this is a men's sexual rights movement at its core, as many of us have been saying for what seems like forever, everything becomes much much clearer

Specifically, a perp's sexual rights movement.

stop and reverse hair loss

I don't think this is true is it? People like IW have very obvious receded hairline and attempt at hair transplant visible.

IW was 50ish at the time of taking cross-sex hormones. The male-pattern balding won’t reverse from taking female sex-hormones, but I think it slows the progression.

Its the horror of balding that does drives many. Middle-aged and suddenly reset to a ‘second puberty’ 🤮

That's what I thought but it definitely says:

  1. stop and reverse hair loss.
EndlessTea · 08/01/2023 16:49

13. stop and reverse hair loss.

😂

What idiots. I remember ages ago on the deleted Wordpress blog Gender Trender, gallusmag was taking the piss out of some bloke who was claiming his dick naturally started to invert and turn into a vagina.

Well, yes. I thought that was so obvious it didn't need stating.

Yes I was just restating, not arguing!

I'm glad you did because some times i do wonder if I'm the only person who sees that. You've confirmed its not in my head.

@Ereshkigalangcleg ignore me I picked up the winrg comment and now i can't find the one i meant to quote

To me, this individualistic, capitalist take on gender identity- basically, you get to do whatever you want, shape your world/self however you like (no thought about the impact upon others) as long you have the dough, seems much more the natural home for it, than the left wing idea of class struggle.

Well, absolutely!

I cannot fathom why so-called left wingers have anything to do with genderism.

Are you having a moment? Just read the thread and thought WTF? Cup of tea maybe, extra sugar.

This all sounds like something from ‘Brasseye’ back in the day.

Come on, the number of ‘transmaxxers’ can be probably be counted on less than five fingers, regardless of what this ‘manifesto’ claims.

Next!

HiccupHorrendousHaddock · 08/01/2023 18:28

Online culture is a huge part of it, I think. If you live much of your social life online, everyone is who they construct themslves to be, not the material reality. DS (early 20s) talks about "living in this vile meat suit" that needs washing and feeding and generally looking after when the 'important' stuff is his life online away from all that.

We're in a weird dystopian landscape where young people are increasingly out of touch with the natural world and have been sold a lie that what you choose to be is what you are.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 08/01/2023 18:29

I think the incel to TRA pipeline is very well known to anyone active on certain social media sites.

Chersfrozenface · 08/01/2023 18:49

ELO is trying to downplay the whole Transmaxx thing because even ELO can see how ghastly it looks.

Well, the reddit has 2.8k members

2.8k is not fewer than five fingers.

SockGoddess · 08/01/2023 18:53

I thought ELO was trying to write the whole concept off in a “this never happens” kind of way.

LaughingPriest · 08/01/2023 18:54

Interesting - so ELO thinks that gender dysphoria is necessary to be trans? He wouldn't answer on the other thread so I'm having to infer from his disbelief that people would just identify as the opposite sex just because they think it would suit their life better.

Some things are too nuts for even the most dedicated to the cause to even try to justify.

Several of them talking about their apples, grapes and pears too.

Boiledbeetle · 08/01/2023 19:02

Just went down the reddit rabbit hole.

So glad I'm not allowed to take hrt if this is the effect it has on you!
