I personally think if it wasn't gender dysphoria and was still sex dysphoria that it wouldn't have made things so confusing as to what trans people want. If trans people were people who desired to be the opposite sex then people would have understood it. The problem with gender is that because its so complicated to where it contradicts itself (Wearing dresses are gender affirming for TIMs but wearing dresses doesn't define being a woman) and is based on how the person sees themselves then what is gender then?
Except for the young ones that push for less gatekeeping ("You don't need dysphoria to be trans" trendhopper types) and HSTS, it's all sex dysphoria. The general public understands it as sex dysphoria and even AGP could blend into sex dysphoria (wanting a pussy so bad that the individual laments being born male). They just say "gender" as part of the slow creep, to muddle the debate grounds and push what they can. If they came out of the gate back in 2012/2013 demanding to be treated as the opposite sex
in all aspects, this backlash would have came immediately. They first had to retcon the meaning behind that very first question that appeared when you booted up Pokemon Red/Blue in your Game Boy Color:
They needed to pretend like "boy/man" and "girl/woman" are completely separate ideas from male and female, that they're social roles one can assume rather than biological reality. In the beginning of the 2020's, I definitely saw a lot more troons claiming to be "biologically female", because they mistakenly thought the overton window had been safely pushed enough to claim that ground. But it's all the same stuff. Gender dysphoric is sex dysphoric; It's all people disappointed with the bits that mother nature granted them.
I think the reason that trannies are so into communism is that transgenderism is inherently self destructive. They have to know, on some level, that in the epic communist revolution they're gonna be the first lined up against the wall. The actual working class hates them, they're subversives to the state, all of their cultural momentum is propped up by corporate astroturfing, but they choose communism. This is where the desire for self-annihilation comes in, as they NEED to have a desire to remove fully healthy body parts to be trans. It's not like being gay where you can settle for just having a boyfriend and the meth fisting orgies are clearly an unhealthy extreme, transgenderism IS inseparable from self destruction.
I'm of the belief that they embrace Communism because they see themselves as oppressed. When you think you're the bottom of the totem pole, collectivization becomes far more appealing. Same reason ugly people and autists gravitate towards Communism. They see it as promoting their own standing or well-being.
What other things do the most virulent man hating feminists and the most hardcore violent nationalists agree on? I've even seen tankies talking shit calling it a symptom of bourgeoisie decadence and shit.
It's a word salad, but they're right. What leftists call "bougeoisie decadence" is what normal people call "first world problems". It's the problems of a person with too much time on their hands because all of their basic needs are effortlessly met.
How did trooning become mainstream anyway?
I blame gay rights organizations losing a purpose and social media steadily becoming more widespread. Every sexually-frustrated man that had a fleeting thought about the female dating experience and every shy woman running away from sexual objectification had an outlet and were able to talk to others like themselves. The political action committees weren't going to shutter on their own ("muh jawbs") and they needed new issues to fundraise on. Forcing people to bake cakes wasn't gaining any traction.
Tumblr was where the myspace crowd went after it got nuked in 2010. There is a direct line of progression from emo/scene kid to trannies and genderspecials. The emo song was right about emos being one step below transvastites because they took that next step in the early 2010s.
Disagreed with the first part. There was a great Myspace exodus back in 2009-2010, but it wasn't just to Tumblr. Everyone I knew who wasn't a quirky art hoe went to Facebook and Twitter. Tumblr was definitely the haven for the theater kid crowd, and genderspecials are certainly the evolution of counterculture trends. Punks and goths of the 80's begat skaters and "mall goths" of the 90's, which then begat emo and scene kids of the 00's, which then begat hipsters of the early 2010's. When everyone was getting bored of stomp-clap-hey music, self-aware irony, overgroomed lumberjacks and craft beer, a lot of those same people fell into trannydom (or at least became vocal allies of it).
Just something that's on my mind, but how did the Pacific Northwest become ground zero for trannyism? I know about the faggy Harvey Milk stuff in SF, but not much about Portland and Seattle that would attract troons en-masse even before it went mainstream.
PNW has usually been ahead-of-the-curve on trends. They're quirky, pretentious, intellectually above-average, and they're tolerant to a fault. They're also seen as a mecca by white nationalists, particularly the slick undercut Richard Spencer types, due to the region's notoriety of being white and innovative.
