I'm curious who the next identity chauvinists will be. It was what, about two years ago now that Koala's March and Tiny Brontosaurus got all hopped up on Critical Race Theory and spearheaded the creation of Negrotown? Then that blossomed into the TGRS hugbox. You could see where things were headed with trans issues on the forum back then, though.

Where do they go from here? Is there some group of posters below troons on the oppression ladder who will take the torch?

Hell, I've seen a lot of mental help threads on SA with advice that amounts to "get a therapist and use them basically as a friend for hire whom you vent to every week, because you probably have no friends."

Isn't this really what all therapy boils down to in the end?

if you think about it, it kind of confirms their theories on gender and the patriarchy, that a bunch of white men (in panties) took over the top of the progressive stack.

Therapy is mostly about uncovering actual reasons for your problems and developing mechanisms to cope. The mechanism for getting upset on the internet is logging off.

That's what therapy is about if you're a good therapist. If you're a slimeball, therapy is about perpetuating your patients' mental illnesses and encouraging them to develop more, so they'll keep coming back for more therapy.

The government pays for them in many states.

Depends on the patient but proper treatment for these troons would be a firm, slow application of hard truths to force them to improve themselves. Since that's an unpleasant encounter demanding a difficult thing, the troons won't do it/will lie/do the absolute bare minimum to keep seeing their therapist and stay on disability.

I had one like that, when I realized he wasn't helping he basically said it was cause I was keeping stuff from him and accused me of lying.

I walked out on him at that point, his last words being about how "I'll be back, people always come back" or something close to that.

I might have went into therapy again at some point but not with that fucking hack.

A friend in college was going through a rough spot and mentioned that his university had "gender counselors" on staff, one of which he was thinking about going to. I'm fucking glad he didn't.

A lot of them seem to struggle with the idea that you can be both trans, and an inexcusably huge sack of shit, and that recognizing both characteristics in someone is not transphobic.

Because they're all transtrenders who use it as way to elevate themselves to the top of the progressive stack and bully anyone they want.

When any community opens its doors to just anyone and the concept of a poser is eradicated, it will be overtaken by the most aggressive, dominant, and violent group of people, every time. This is everywhere in history. There is a damn good reason the term "transtrender" is treated as worse than "nigger" in these communities: because their entire cult ideology falls apart with that idea on the table. You can't have situations like where a creepy 40 year old throws on a wig, declares he's trans, and goes into the ladies bathroom to "accidentally" flash teenage girls and cry transphobia when they're rightfully disturbed, if he's not considered on equal footing with someone who decided to transition as a teenager and just wants peace of mind.
 
An off topic aside on Therapist: The worst ones are the best paid, as you only need to go see a good therapist a few times (save for serious traumatic shit) before they can resolve whatever issues you're having. I read about a hypnotherapist that specifically charged using a health club subscription model, because he could resolve most problems in a session, and most people not come back because their problem had been fixed. So once he tranced away what they initally walked in for, he would find other things they'd like to fix, for however many months he had them pay for.

In the one session I've attended (work covered 5 sessions for free a year, so why not?), I came to the conclusion that my therapy needed far more help than anyone he's actually helping. Grossly morbidly obese, couldn't talk without labored breathing, and was certain to be dead within a decade (in his 40's). We talked about my mental health history, steps I'd taken on my own to keep myself well, CBT, etc, and I got the feeling that he felt like I was wasting his time because my shit was managed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I then went home and binged the therapy practitioner subreddit for a couple hours, and confirmed that the vast majority are TDS afflicted, and find themselves having trouble empathizing with half the country, in spite of their training. Overall, the majority of therapists seem to be in rough mental shape themselves considering most have therapists.

The LGB community is a great example of this. Lowtax has a real-world example of what tolerating and appeasing trannies will do to your community and how you'll be viewed by the normies.
