You’re picking out the most extreme examples there, aren’t you? You know for 99% of trans people that just doesn’t apply.

We have been trained that every person who says that they are transgender is transgender. No debate.

It is remarkable, isn’t it, how much women and girls have been conditioned and trained about what they need to do to comply and support a group of male people’s subjective belief about themselves that doesn’t respresent material reality.

If we are now not supposed to believe that ‘some’ male people who declare they are female people, how do we know which ones are not and which ones are?

Even the most evil and repugnant female people are female people. There is no rejection of female people if they are criminals, sex offenders or violent.

Why is it not acceptable to point out the worst behaved of male people who have transgender identities when it is perfectly acceptable to mention the worst behaved female people are female people?

Is having a valid transgender identity a reward for good behaviour? That strengthens the subjective nature of these gender identities.

You’re right. Transgender is meant to be an umbrella term 🙄, so I will be more precise. Being transsexual isn’t a choice.

You are still speaking for all of a group.

Who appointed you as spokesperson?

I know that I have no way on God's green earth to tell at a glance whether the obviously-male creep in a ladies' public lavatory at the local mall is a sex-pest claiming to be trans, a traumatised and abused adolescent (with a homophobic father) who is trying to escape the stigma of homosexuality by claiming to be trans, a bully who gets his rocks off frightening women, a nutcase who is going to try to engage me in conversation about tampons, or someone genuinely confused about which sex he actually is.

Stay out, whatever your trans status, if you are actually male. Which all MTF trans people are, whatever they may claim. (Yes, even if he is one of the very small percentage of men claiming to be trans who has had an orchidectomy and a penectomy; he is still male.)

It really, really is: and an expensive and complicated one involving a lot of effort to keep to.

You didn't just wake up one morning and realise "oh! I thought I had a penis: what is this between my legs instead?", did you now.

(Do you realise it is possible to be a sadist and never actually hurt anyone?)

Do you really think someone would choose go through transition if they didn’t have to?

You could have fun thinking up different slogans.

Tax the dolls
Arm the rich
Stay home, don't kill Granny

Etc

A bit like those pieces of useful but rather obvious advice they put on motorway signs when there isn't a specific closure or congestion that people need warning about. "Drink driving ruins lives', 'Be nice to your sister' 'Give your mum a call'.

Yes. There are fetishists mentioned in the WPATH files that choose to be castrated (Eunuchs) as part of their fetish and are considered transgender.

And WPATH is, after all, the experts on who is and isn’t transgender

That is a choice though. Or there was a third option, get help to appreciate your body as it was.

You didn't transition to anything - you're simply a man who takes hormones and who wears clothes that are more usually found in the women's section of the store. You probably wear some makeup and have grown your hair. That's all. You are still as male as you've always been.

Being trans isn’t a choice

What part of it isnt a choice?

The idea that his feelings and thoughts make him a woman? What he wears, his name, the drugs and surgery? Is a GRC forced onto these men?

Men decide what it is to be a women, allowing themselves to become a woman. But this cannot be articulated because its an individual choice for every and any man.

This looks rather relevant to this thread.

The Psychological Voids that Gender Identities Fill

What purpose(s) does a new gender identity serve? Below I list some of the things which I have observed in my practice:

(my truncating)

For many people, a transgender identity provides a sense of belonging….

Many are drawn to the structure transgender culture provides. …

Others use transgender identification as a form of avoidance. ….

Even deeper than that, a transgender identity can function as armor from trauma…. Also, it can be a way to avoid the expectations of masculinity.

However, during the transition, people become more dissociated from their bodies and themselves. The distress is real. The solution, however, creates more difficulties.….

-end-

There is much more.

Transgender is a Symptom — Genspect

For years, people have argued over whether a transgender identification should be classified as a mental illness. I believe that debate misses the point entirely. Transgender identity is not the illness itself. Rather, it is a manifestation of...

Dumbfounded and unhappy with this place. My life is actually very good and much better than before I transitioned
