I'm not talking about just any Transgender, just the ones who have the audacity to insist they are what they claim to be and in doing so alienate the thoughts of others as they endlessly insist they are what they claim to be.
For the sake of trying to understand where you draw the line, would you say I am insisting my gender on others?
Not that I recall.
I've referred to you as a bisexual crossdresser, since you were banging a woman, and you never showcased a meltdown over it.
You don't worry about pronouns either. Though I'm pretty sure the ones who refer to you as a she, are the ones you'd find more vulnerable to psychological manipulation.
It's really more about the intent, even someone going out of their way to say 'she' to me could be doing it tongue-in-cheek. I find insisting my pronoun at people to be ruder than someone getting it wrong, and I see which they call me as a sort of litmus test for their views, especially those who call me 'she' when cool with me and 'he' when angry. 🤣
Honestly I find the occasional 'excuse me ma'am' from a stranger to be more flattering and ticklish than anything. It's unexpected each time and has happened without me dressing the part, which gives hope for a few minutes before it passes.
I agree with the alienation problem, but again I see it from many as a transference reaction to former pain. Some I've known got beaten up for it from having grown up somewhere less urban, and it's not like they can just shake those associations any more than someone who holds a grudge against all dogs after being traumatically bitten by one.
In my culture we get beat if we do something stupid. As children we can recognize the difference between discipline and abuse. That is why we got beat. We grow up without any resentment over that, while people who were beat for dumb reasons grow up to resent their parents.
Two things here:
A. When it's your parents that's one thing, when it's your peers or randos on the street it's another thing entirely. The pain both gave them triggers and emboldened their choices into riskier ones than they may have otherwise done without society otherwise ostracizing them.
B. How a kid reacts to getting 'beat' by their folks varies strongly from kid to kid, and how the parent emotes does a lot for it too. If the parent looks emotional then the kid will start to think that it's okay to hit people out of emotion, while if done coldly it is more likely to alienate the child from their parents from what I've seen come from many.
The ones who accept the beatings tend to do so for one of two reasons: They believe they deserved it and have turned into someone who worries and blames themselves for many other things outside of their control, or they've grown to have the same tendencies as their folks and in turn excuse them for it by proxy of excusing themselves for it.
If you hate being corrected then you're ruined and not ready to perform in the world which will break you.
Being raised in the arts definitely has me agreeing with you there, critique has been around me my entire life and people didn't take as much offense to it when it seemed normal to them when compared to your average person.
...as a double edged sword though I project as if everyone is looking as hard at people's features in a correcting fashion as I am, similar to the problem Contrapoints described when she'd post herself on 4chan to get torn to shreds as some kind of validation for all her self-directed toxicity.
What do you make of an old man pretending to be a 6 year old?
As a personal thing, I find that more disturbing than when they try to make out that they are other things.
Dogs, if not other Otherkin (rather than furries, very different)? Sure, that's harmless even if weird, and many go into it more for the sense of community while hating on humanity as a concept that, in turn, lets them feel more human with other people of the same beliefs. It also pushes the art community, so I can't really complain too much there beyond personal preference (until it turns fetishy anyway). That community is so damn depressed that they need eachother.
An adult sized baby? Depends on the circumstances, as many just reserve it for their at home behavior or don't mention to people that they have a diaper on under their clothes.
Elves? Weird... but I don't see that person harming others and there's liable to be crowds that are otherwise accepting of it.
Children... like I understand missing your youth and wanting to go back, I've seen people go pretty hardcore with the Peter Pan message of 'never growing up', and similar to the baby thing if they keep that behavior to their homes then they aren't really hurting anyone... but if someone is trying to pretend to be a child so that they can be around other children that hits some areas for me that make me uncomfortable.
I can understand trans people coming in dressed up to read childrens stories to kids, having grown up in California I saw a fair deal of drag both in the theater (ie: Beach Blanket Babylon) and in general, but if they were to try to identify as a children to play with strangers children at the playground as 'one of them' then that is direct interaction as opposed to a display or presentation.
I don't care what people believe themselves to be for the most part, no one should be messing with kids through things like direct contact.
When asked I'd say it's veeeeery dysfunctional and self destructive.
In general I find age play disturbing, calling your S.O. 'Daddy' is super disturbing to me, but I also recognize that as my own bias and that it's surprisingly common.
The left tends to go with gender itself being a construct of society more than anything else, rendering even the heteronormative groups a byproduct of conditioning and society rather than how they might have been if thrown into the wilderness.
That's all queer stuff. Some queers call him she and vice versa while other queers don't buy it either.
So I take it you haven't tried to follow the whole 'differences between sex and gender' concept?
At least for those accepting of such practices, they go on about how sex is what you're born with while gender is what you identify as, saying the former has biological factors while the latter is a societally reinforced concept that, without society, may have gone differently.
The people transgenders date will be queer.
So if it was someone who once looked the part of a woman and became a man through the modern process, you'd consider the person queer regardless of which of the two were dated?
You in the very same post referred to be as bisexual, which is the case, but to be clear on your terminology would you call bisexuality queer over how it dips into the pool?
People in general aren't interested in homosexuality, it's disgusting to most of us.
There's people who find it hot without even wanting to date it, like when a woman finds another woman's boobs sexy at a party without otherwise switching teams.
The left is all about gay rights but not really cause they don't complain about queers being executed in places they are actually oppressed.
Wouldn't it make more sense to focus on our own country before trying to go at other ones?
