Before you accuse others of confirmation bias read from start to finish Stock's "Material Girls".

[@281992pdr]

@@KickRocks-me7hh Transgenderism is an ideology because it is a system of ideas and ideals, especially one which forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy. Here are some elements: One e.g. of a trans idea - anthropology students are being taught the idea that skeletons cannot be identified as male or female, their sex can only be 'estimated', one e.g. of a trans ideal - that sex and gender used synonymously are on a spectrum, e.g. of a trans economic policy is that all trans cosmetic surgery should be provided on NHS/Medicare (which it pretty much is) no woman patient should be allowed to insist on having a woman doctor to consult with; one e.g. of trans political policy is having legislation changed so that birth history and consequent documentation is altered to suit the preference (called self-id) of the person who claims to be of the other sex. Other e.g. - The transgender movement has its own flag that it's activists march under and it has organs set up to promote its ideas and ideals - Stonewall etc. Trans genderists have invented a proscription and prescription of language e.g. newborns are not born with their own sex, it is “assigned” and stating sex is binary is denounced as “hate speech”. Trans gender ideology has dogma that cannot be questioned and is protected by law e.g. gender identity replacing man and woman in Australia’s Sex Discrimination Act. The ideology produces its own propaganda with which to indoctrinate children and youth - “The Gender Wheel” being one such text.

[@honberg193]

Like most things, their is some truths in bodily dysphoria and gender non conformity, or more specifically sex non conformity. Sex non conformity is a result of a shift in the opposite sex direction ( mentaly and behaviours). This is on a huge scale. You say that gender dysphoria is hocus pocus. If one's behaviour, pychology, and other aspects of one's pychi is seen be an individual as similar to the other group. That can induce sex dysphoria if, one doesn't fit into the group one is expected to. If one then express one's sexual orientation in a similar way to the opposite sex. Then there is a problem. A gay man wont be attracted to them. Especialy if they don't look masculine. The straight acting gay men, you may be attracted to won't be interested. He will want someone masculine in a relationship. You have a problem. Wheras one may see that all of one's qualities will be attractive to a man that wants what you are except for one thing. Your male. You have a problem. Many in this category don't even fully masculiise. Small, youthful looking, confusing to both gay men, and straight men. You have a problem. These are rare, but do exist. Blanchard reported all of this. You should do one's best to accept one's sex, if one can't then, your left we few options. Those that historicaly make life changing desccisons. Do fit like a glove into the other group. They then disappear. Just being as you call in gender non conforming is just in the majority of cases, your just gay. But we also shouldn't sugar coat the facts that even they, may struggle to find suitable partners. In a nutshell being gender non conforming, isn't gender dysphoria, but some do drift towards the so called trans community . Something I don't really beleuve exists as a community. Ordinary homosexuals, sexuality does have a typical male expression, even if gender non conforming. It won't work for them. That is what we're seeing with some de trans.

Pronouns are more than a matter of free speech. She pronoun refers to a biological female. He pronoun refers to a biological male. It's much more than just a matter of free speech Its a matter of reality and dissembling reality. It's not okay, nor should it be legal for a man or woman to claim the opposite sex pronouns.. A person now called ' trans' should have to use a double pronoun - a man who presents as a trans woman should have to have the pronoun heshe - indicating by the first root pronoun that they are a biological male.. Similar for a trans man - pronoun shehe. Language matters.. There are men and women, he and she. That is ALL people . No cis pronoun needed. Then there are a minority of people with gender disphoria who are not comfortable with their bodies and their gender and want to change to the opposite sex.. But that's not physically possible. To ease their discomfort and to be visible for their mental health a special separate set of pronouns to describe them and for them to use would not disrupt society ie heshe and shehe.. But the idea that by law the rest of society is to pretend that there is no such thing as a man and a woman and that one can become the other and force the population under pain of job loss or even prison to lie about reality is total insanity..

Thank you all for your courage and your hard work it’s extremely important. I have a hard time wrapping my mind around Transmaxxing. Men switching genders, not because they are experiencing gender dysphoria, or sexual excitement, but because they just want to get the perceived social benefits of being a woman. Yes, they're switching genders for the perceived social benefits of being a woman! Feminists have said for years that men have an advantage in society and misogyny is rather commonplace, and yet some men are still seeking this approach to transition into a female. Not Autogynephilic, but a man who identifies as a man yet, is socially and sometimes surgically transitioning to a female for the perceived social benefits, sports included. If it’s mainly about sex or relationships, then why not come out as gay or bisexual? Why pursue a male-to-female gender transition? Being a man in this day and age is difficult, but being a woman has its own set of unique challenges. Though Transmaxxing is becoming increasingly trendy, I just don’t get it.

The old Meath hospital in Dublin is now a medical centre. There is a side building to the right of the main building that has horizontal wooden panels that are painted in trans colours. Also a big trans flag in the window. But about 2 months ago the front of the side building was painted white. I heard someone wrote something on it. So they had to paint over it. They also have a gender free toilet. I was looking for the men’s and was told there was none. Only unisex toilets.

There is some serious issue with what ‘acts of hate’ constitutes. Straw manning someone’s concerns and then using it as an excuse to destroy someone to my mind is an act of hate. Not someone asking for reasonable discussion and asking for more research and concern over the medicalization and sterilization of children is insane.

[@moif_velocita]

Politicians and political activists colluding to remove the reccomended health care from children is not asking for reasonable discussion, and there has been decades of research conducted into Trans people, going way back to the 1960s now. Of course if politicians ignore the research and shut down the centres which cater to Trans people, which is what has happened in the UK, then of course can pretend that no such research exists and there is no one left to contradict you

If a 16 year old girl who weighed 85 pounds came to you and told you she was fat and disgusting and needed to lose 85 pounds, would you affirm her anorexia and encourage her to lose the weight, or would you maybe try to convince her that the problem is with her mind and not her body and she needs mental health care to teach her to see reality? Affirming gender dysphoria is no different than affirming anorexia.

[@Charlie.c19]

Strange that all of this is getting pushed so much, yet you come to the comments here and will struggle to find a single person arguing from the trans side of the debate. It's almost like they are a tiny minority who aren't represented in society hardly at all, but are represented in media as if they make up half the friggin' population. I know of 1 trans person (had the hormones replacements therapy) in the town I live in. Yes, I know, it's only 1 which I know of, obviously will be more, but there are more than 145,000 people in my town. Woth yheybway it is being pushed, you'd expect me to see a trans person everyday, multiple times. Doesn't happen. Most people are normal, in this sense. Just had a quick google search - 0.2% of the UK identifies as trans. There are probably more people who think Elvis is still alive...

Let me walk some folks here through my personal experience. I'm trans, hello. You'd never know it passing me in the street, why? Because I don't make a mockery of people. Many people are uncomfortable with it being mainstream and fear people taking advantage of it or pushing it onto children... these are valid and legitimate, but unfortunately for folks like me with genuine dysphoria it's highly frowned upon so we don't seek treatment and it festers and grows until we die or seek some kind of therapy. Talk therapy never helped me, and in fact anytime I got push back it made me realize... yeah, no... I'd want even the shit sides of being a woman. From both an analytical and emotional perspective I'd still rather be a woman. The macho persona men are pushed towards doesn't appeal to me, so I guess yeah... I'm not a "real man" or even a man at all in any sense, and have no desire to be.

[@miriamlana833]

If you give different groups different rights and privileges, self definition of membership may not be the perfect solution, but shurely a better one than complete foreign definition. Foreign definition gives the state a kind of power which it shouldn't have. I say this as a German, Germany once had a state definition of what was a Jew, you should know what followed.

To add, that state definition was as arbitrary as sex assignment at birth sometimes is.

I would have no problem with a 'trans' woman calling himself heshe.. then like some grammar I know that no matter what 'she' looks like, however female sounding and looking, that I am talking to a person who is male, the sex being indicated by the first part(root) of the joint pronoun and that person should not have access to private female spaces. I know also there's specific female conversations there is no point in me asking advice or exchanging expeiences about with them because a male can't have had those experiences not being a woman. Also there could be joint pronoun toilet and safety spaces. All ' trans' people should feel more comfortable sharing spaces with each other than demanding that men or women share their spaces with them and pretend that they are the same. They are not. The nonsense that they want 98% or 99% of men and women, not to be refered to by their pronouns of reality.. but forced to be called CIS women and men!! It's ludicrous. It's the trans persons who need to change THEIR pronouns to something new if they are rejecteng their biological identity and physical reality.

@@miriamlana833 What do you mean? No one decides... it's biological.. If someone has gender dysphoria.. their mind not in line with their body they can act and dress and live as they want.. just not society act as if they had become the opposite biological sex because that is not possible. Highjacking the pronouns of those who's sex they are not is illogical one and false.. leading both the individual and the whole population into use of false language.. So called trans persons.. I use the term so called because it is a false description they chose to describe themselves as - transition from male to female or female to male is not possible and again another false use of language. Choosing your pronouns when there aren't new pronouns to fit your identity is nonsense..

[@shooster5884]

@@miriamlana833 No one 'decides' .. it's just a biological fact men and women. Individuals can feel how they feel about their bodies but it's physically impossible to change sex.. using the opposite sex's pronouns won't change that and it's merely hijacking them falsely. Trans persons who have gender dysphoria need to create their own new pronouns and their own separate spaces if not comfortable in their own sex spaces, not hijack the opposite sex's spaces asking THEM to change their pronouns...women and men don't need to be identified as this nonsense CIS.. Far more logical for the tiny minority to identify themselves as either heshe..or shehe. Everyone would know then that they are a 'trans' person. A male who is living as how they feel themselves to be a woman, or a woman living as how they feel themselves to be a man. And create their own sports and spaces. Trans activists trying to terrorise the other 98% of the population into giving trans people some special status that no other minority based on a lie would be given, demanding the rest of the population unidentify themselves and pretend that to be a biological man or woman has no distinct experience or difference to someone calling themselves trans and using the same pronouns..

The only way to understand trans is to read Judith Butler's Queer philosophy of the late 80s and 90s and some of its background in the decade before. She was coming off a revolutionary political tide between NY and San Francisco. What has happened since is the elevation of this counterculture by liberal identity politics.

I am in favour of of this summit & the premise of the points in this video BUT: At the introduction around the 7.10 second mark, the woman (Laoise de Brún BL?) quoted that her comments had been picked up by international & promoted by commentators “…like Tucker Carlson”…, ……. Tucker Carlson…! - A Vladimir Putin promoting, self promoting motivated psychopath, how on earth is that supposed to be a positive thing to promote a cause? What if Putin had agreed with the points and had commented so, would that be good?… Or is it ok to just have just abhorrent, psychopath supporters of Putin? Talk about getting in bed with the devil. It’s because I’m an admirer of Graham Linaham, J. K. Rowling and the handful of people who pay a heavy price for speaking up towards some kind of objective reality, & the principles being upheld, that I didn’t turn off this video from that point. There are plenty of people whose opinion I disagree with that I am perfectly prepared to listen to & engage with but quoting Tucker Carlson “reported my comments” as a positive thing is absurd & only serves to discredit (otherwise credible things) things from the offset.
