Golden_Eagle said:What's the alternative to tolerance though?
Are you saying it'd be better to correctively bully these people, a demographic already more prone to suicide than the norm?Tolerance my ass. This is not about tolerence in exchange for fucking up the kids and sinking the west.
I'd suggest setting boundaries back to where it was.
And those boundaries were... what? Complete intolerance and bullying right?
So your solution is bullying a demographic that is already more prone to suicide than normal, because of how some people living their truth might inspire others to do the same.
I'm sure you see how this could look intolerant to someone like me who felt trans before any of this trending shit even started. I had to live through where the boundaries were before and it felt fucking awful.
I once heard Blair White say something along the lines of "If you don't look the part no one will take you seriously" which is a truth that abuses transgenders, so they mutilate themselves and end up crazy and suicide rates are high.
That's purely because of being at a transition point between two states of societal acceptance. The means exists to seek the form they feel is theirs, but tolerance has not normalized over how that takes more time. We saw similarly when gay people were given the legal right to marry.
Blair White though also doesn't take Gender Fluid/Neutral people seriously, in fact their very presence from what I've seen of her videos legitimately pisses her off. She is fixated on passing, so when she sees someone comfortable with a half-assed job she ingroup cringes really hard to the point of distancing them from her perception of the Trans Umbrella.
Unfortunately I've been a part of known society for long enough to judge the "passing" metric as well, but even that is a reflection of my own internalized issues over my own issues with wanting to pass.
Transgenderism is a disorder. Some would argue a physical disorder cause they don't get what they call a bonus hole.
Gender Dysphoria is a legitimate disorder, just how I'd argue that homosexuality is, but where we differ is over if it is or isn't a disorder someone's born with or if it's purely a nurtured set of conditions.
I see it more as people not neatly fitting into the boxes society made for them, so they feel the need to change themselves to match up with cultural norms. If these norms were not the case we'd be seeing a lot more people dressing in between, rather than settling on one of two Gender Extremes.
Sounds like victim mentality.
So you would say women are just as strong as men, and you're ready for us to have a female president?
I did mention Tulsi Gabbard would be a good President. Her debate game was on point, she's patriotic, a war vet, been a Democrat, agrees with modern conservative views, now Republican. For those it matters to she's a person of colour.
Race and gender doesn't matter to me. Qualifications matter. She'll be the head of intelligence next term.
So you think a female leader would be taken seriously by other countries who themselves are otherwise less progressive in values?
You ever see this trans complain about the downside of being a guy ? How easy women have it.
Dude you keep making it about Trans people during a discussion about Women, but yeah I've heard lots of trans people complain about lack of equality in general rather than hyperfocusing on just their own story.
The Trans who achieved looking like a man has a real message of how men and women are treated. Your argument is that men are treated better, but that's not true.
Men are harmed by The Patriarchy as well. In spite of it being a system that helps some men by the virtue of it's structure there are a lot more men that are harmed by it.
The Patriarchy is doing neither gender any favors, but the drawbacks between the two are different from eachother. By contrast Feminism gives a place for more femme men and more masculine women to go while otherwise still accepting and embracing traditional roles, as long as having the choice between them makes them comfortable and tolerance is exercised between each camp.
I feel like you're changing the goalposts over how they're an easier target than the problems women face.
Refer to my previous paragraph.
This doesn't negate that you took a female debate and tried to turn it trans (specifically MtF trans for the most part too).
Turncoat said:I'd argue that both genders are born with inherent potential that has the room to be transformed into value within the right constraints.
No one disagrees we're all born with potential.
I said women are born with inherent value. She goes from being a child, to transforming into a women with countless suitors of all ages. It's not hard for her to make it in life while she has the support of men and women. Fat girls get more hits on dating apps than chads while 70% of guys settle for less and get rejected.
Us on the other hand ( You too Nathan ) have no inherent value. We have to build and make something of ourselves or else no love. A woman who so chooses to do nothing can simply snuggle up to some guy who'll look after her.
Odd, people seem to have dug me for what was inherent within me rather than societal merits like being rich or looking sexy.
Maybe I'm a woman then, since by your definition it's just women who are born with inherent value. Rather than be the one seeking suitors they've always found me, courted me into their relationship rather than them into mine. There's plenty of hard working women who would appreciate having a man around the house to keep it in order while they do what is otherwise classically seen as a 'masculine role'.
I'm on SSI, for a fairly debilitating disorder, yet I too can find love. Perhaps your views on this are wrong, and even further perhaps these views are limiting your potential when it comes to finding viable mates. If I can find love unconventionally then doesn't that somewhat deny your seemingly conventional point?
Some women like older men. Cougars are simply older women who fuck young men. You seem to take for granted the freedoms that were intended for westerners.
There are many women out there living alone dude. Not at home with their parents. Doing well. Most people these days need to split costs on a place but still there they are striving with their own space.
If you reread what was said you'll see this isn't related to my point.
My point is over how people are perceived, which in turn conditions people to live within those perceptions.
An old woman will be seen, as you put it, less valuable in spite of how they are inherently just as valuable as an older man. The only real argument that can be made over age is egg viability vs sperm viability over how one can go about it for longer than the other typically, but both genders are rolling the dice as they get older over the increased risks of defective offspring.
If both were poor, the woman will make much more gains as a beggar. Even if she were a complete hag.
If they saw a man begging, The Patriarchy states they are a failure. If they see a woman begging, The Patriarchy looks at how she could still be used.
Feminism isn't fighting for equality.
That is literally it's definition, you must be confusing it with Matriarchy over how Right Wing Talking Points have a tendency to conflate the two.
