So if the brave men and men of the Tranch aren't "real" transwomen, what is a "real" transwoman?
"Men can be women if they put the effort in!" Well several of them have been on hormones for years and have gotten their balls cut off and their dicks inverted, how much more "effort" do you want?
The effort that actually matters is
changing themselves, on a psychological/behavioral level, which they're never going to do.
That is why they'll never be women, no matter what, regardless of it's possible or not; that's 100%
not relevant because
they are not actually trying. They're not going to
stop being dudebros. They're not going to stop being seriously masculine sex pests. Some of them, I'm not even sure death and reincarnation as natal women would do the trick.
That lack of change--that inherent dudebro/masculine sex pest-ness--is a huge part of what makes a troon a troon.
I mean,
look at Kev. He's pretty much an excellent model troon. He's a dudebro who is actually pretty decent about doing the surface level, performative motions: He'll take the tiddy skittles and go under the knife and make all the right noises when you poke him. The surface-level act is...not on point, but if you have Kev's remarkable talents at introspection? You're not going to get the understanding
necessary to actually get anywhere. You'll just be stuck seething, coping, dialating, and wondering why people clock you regularly.
The motive isn't really wanting to be a woman--though with how shallow/incapable of introspection troons typically are, they probably sincerely believe
that even though it's a lie. That does admittedly help you sell a lie. Looking at the Tranchers, and what was going on in their lives when they trooned out & what they're doing
now, points to the most likely reason: They don't want to be held responsible for
shit. Trooning out is seen as an out from people holding you accountable, and they
embrace it hump it desperately.
To say that troons are trying is to buy the surface level of their act. Why do that?
I've used this metaphor before, but I think of it like Scientology. Some Scientologists are nice, polite people that make great friends, but that doesn't make body Thetans real, and it doesn't make the Scientologists who are grifting, abusive, power-tripping dickheads "not real" Scientologists. Some trans people are nice, employable, and shower regularly, but that doesn't mean that it's possible for humans to change sex to match some sort of internal feeling, and it doesn't make Jarrod and Bonnie "not real" trans.
Yeah, the thing here? I've not met a single person with dysphoria who is going to
disagree with you that it's impossible to change sex. Gender--which is defined as just the social performance--you can change, and fuck, somebody with more free time than me could probably write you a book about the changes there since WWI.
As far as I can tell, there's been some serious changes, and a lot of it is the trooncult and the Feminist movement being not good at being
feminists. I'm not really interested in putting in the work needed to work it out if I'm not getting a PhD and/or book out of it, so not bothering figuring it out right now.
I think she also thinks that her trans friends are "real trans" because she just hasn't seen their crazy side yet. I'll try to add this without powerleveling or going off-topic too much, but I am also friends with transwomen in real life, and I think that being trans is like a religion or a mental illness or addiction. People with contradictory beliefs, mental illnesses, and addictions can be cool people and good friends - nobody's perfect after all, and everyone's got issues. But once you see the consequences of those problems (a transwoman who's impulsive with money and e-begs when he shouldn't, another transwoman who looks fine in public but whose house is a hoarder's den) it can really change your opinion. I have several other friends who have gotten more sceptical about trans stuff the more they hang out with trans people. It's possible to disagree with someone's beliefs, or be critical about their choices, and still feel respect and affection towards them and enjoy doing things with them.
Sometimes the crazy just takes time to show itself.
I've seen the crazy, I'm talking entirely about a qualitive difference
in the crazy--my background training is strong on how to tell the different types of crazy apart, because you're
not supposed to actually do shit like treat everything with tiddy skittles.
Note, too, that I'm not saying 'real trans' aren't suffering from a mental illness. I'm just saying that their gender dysphoria actually
exists...and they're doing something about it.
Whatever the
fuck is the crazy going on with troons? It's not the
same crazy. It's something else, and I'm not doing the work to figure
that one out farther if I ain't getting a publication and/or PhD out of it.
