The BIGGEST problem we have here is a narcissism problem which I believe was triggered by and is being catapulted by social media and greed. People feel so invisible and so insecure that they are jumping on any bandwagon to have a voice and feel like they are a part of something important. People need likes and shares like they need air. We are an incredibly insecure society that screams “we don’t need your validation” while simultaneously demanding everyones’ validation. We used to seek validation from people we cared about and people close to us. Now we seek validation from everyone and are hurt and offended when we dont get it. Its a mess.

[@chrisgould101]

Kinda. I'll tell you about how I see that. I was a pretty troubled kid, was adopted into a pharmaceutical family wit a narcissist adoptive mother. Because I was different as a child, they saw this as a problem to 'fix' . Because it wasn't in line with their standards then then starts drugging me on many psychotropics to 'control' me. This is how society sees true critical thinking people. They're terrified. These people break down everything they though they knew. The discomfort then sets in. They then need to use labels to think that they understand what they can't understand. The labels are to justify to themselves 'what' this unknown entity is to them. In the case of these sjw identity politic types, it leans much more I believe toward an inward narcissism and sense of entitlement. The labels they make seem to be consistent with a misunderstanding or failure to understand, and a heightened individual need to... vilify and justify the ends of their thoughts, which have been much influenced by the propaganda bombardment of identity politics. We're basically seeing a war of minds. And it's exposing the bad in people also which is good to identify them.

[@ElaineWalker]

I worked at Berklee College of Music in 1991.. we had a new student who had recently begun the transition to female. It came up in a staff meeting for 20 seconds, just as a heads up, and that was it. Literally no one was phased. She used the girls bathroom and since there was only one stall anyway, no one cared. That was 1991. In 2007 I was teaching in Phoenix and.. same thing. Again, no one was phased. Then all of a sudden in 2016 we were about to have all these new regulations where, for example, we weren’t allowed to use the students’ first names for the first two weeks - in case they happened to transition during the first two weeks and might get offended if we used the wrong name. Whaaaaa??? Whyyyy?? The transgender students I ever met don’t generally get offended. I think it was top down govt regulation.

The best argument I've heard for sex being binary is: "100 years from now I could dig up your bones and test your DNA. It could never tell me what you think or how you feel, but it would tell me without a doubt whether you were male or female." Sex is chromosomal. Plain and simple.

[@theashennamedjerry3203]

Yeah but the trans issue is a gender issue not a sex issue. They way I understand it is that sex is determined by biological factors while gender is more of the role that the associated sex typically has in the species. So you can be male but act like a woman and that would qualify you as a woman but not a female.

[@davewade30]

@@theashennamedjerry3203 No. That would qualify you as a TRANS woman. Male & Female, Girl & Boy, Woman and Man. These terms were well defined and easily understood for hundreds of years until about 15 minutes ago when people decided that pretending to be something is the same as being that thing. Kindergarteners know the difference. You have to go to liberal arts college to "learn" that sex and gender are unrelated. Which is of course utter nonsense. If people want to pretend to be the opposite sex because it "feels right" to them. I don't judge. Whatever makes you happy, have at it. I'll even call you whatever you want. But I won't lie to myself or anyone else by saying a trans woman is a real woman. Because the truth is what it is. The more lies they can get you to tell, the easier you become to manipulate.

[@shahtayyib]

@Ra Shaan the key well-documented gender-defined personality traits of men and women are higher neuroticism and an interest in people over things. Of course there's more differences documented in our behaviour, which moreso tend to be context-specifc, but generally speaking, yeah - a lot of 'genders' are just labels of certain personality types. personality types are nothing new either, and the entire field of gender literature is very controversial as research requires approval before publication, so rallying trans activists inhibit the publication of research against the findings they agree with, which is pretty tyrannical.

[@shahtayyib]

@Ra Shaan moreover, the separation of gender and sex serves no real societal contribution. if gender is truly this entirely social construct, with no true ties to biology (although the LGBT community flips on this whenever they deem appropriate) then it's purpose has to be questioned. if it simply serves to further divide people and limit them, outlining what contributions they should and should not make, it's nothing short of discriminatory and segregating. the newly defined concept of gender promoting ideas of a 'spectrum' is utterly useless. all this would suggest is that we are each individually different to any extent: an idea which psychological literature already evidenced across several decades. tying gender into it seems to only serve the purpose of creating more labels for people to further divide themselves, and the socioethical implications of this can be pretty damning, considering how well it aligns with an early stage of a divide and conquer strategy.

Serious question: if gender is “fluid” as some put it, how can you identify outside of the gender you were born with without acknowledging predetermined stereotypes. What does it mean to feel like a boy? You enjoy doing “masculine” things? Okay, that doesn’t make you a male. That makes you a tomboy, which we always had as a society.

I could totally understand the situation. I had a similar experience, I was abroad, staying in an apartment(airbnb), and as I was waiting for the elevator, this guy who looked around mid-40ish to early 50 started a conversation saying that he is separated from his wife and moved to this apartment. He asked me if I wanted to come over. No hello, or proper introduction, or small talk at all. I was 26 at the time. Even though we weren't in the elevator, it was more than enough to get scared and, to be honest, creeped out. I smiled and politely declined. The elevator came and he asked me why I wasn't getting on, and I acted like I got a phone call and told him I was gonna take the next one. The guy in the video says the man didn't do anything and was polite, but I don't think he fully understand how scary the situation could turn out. To be pursued in small tight, isolated place? I highly discourage anyone to do that.

[@Mike-lx9qn]

If a guy is completely consumed by sexual desire, he cuts to an active or receptive verbal or physical way to hook. It's pretty obvious if it starts just like that. To a guy it's like reading a text bubble 💭 above another guy's head of "I want you". Guys don't say "come home for cuddles & coffee, I want to discuss & show my feelings & be vulnerable as a man," that's some terrifying skinwalker-esque poor imitation. I don't even know & doubt that many male peers I have, even have feelings... Get me out... Back to subject, like that alien invasion short where the disguised aliens as rednecks welcomed the black guys, a guy saying "aww I want sympathy come home to me" & another guy normalizing it, I'll make it plain, is like the average Western woman on planet Earth saying she loves her hubby for who he is not what he did to her head, that she doesn't more likely have 3 men as ATMs. It was driven home at the beginning but eh. One just need to be honest about statistics & not point at singular cases as a defense strategy, it's said ½ of women will be childless & unmarried by 2030... 20 cats, "leave only 10%" a very popular slogan, yeah a guy saying "look at me be vulnerable" is like a woman saying "I love you, I'll let you be vulnerable to begin with." One can throw the hook at guys, but nah, the dude does nothing at the basis. Ofc if u have a strong counterpart & he's treated as shit, he's unchecked. U get a poor slave which is the only reason u're not crazy in misandry, feminists like u don't hate men just know truth, that u have a counterpart & that the control part is going unwell.

That can be nothing more than a state of mind or mood in some instances, or if anything more of a psychological and possibly hormonal issue. The problem is that you're biologically a distinct gender, which is discriminated against when it comes to sports because of natural advantages and disadvantages that come with either being male or female. It's not some ploy to invalidate you as a person or demean you in any way, but to preserve the competitiveness and integrity of the games.

Trans people can identify however they want, but there are biological differences between the sexes idk how that's so problematic.

[@thunfisch4938]

@@sparkfx5874 The Question is often, what is a Biological Male and what is a Biological Female. Because a Trans Women are Women and not because they want it, same for Trans Man. Most Trans people Transition with HRT(Hormon Replacement Therapy), after a while they have the same Hormonal Household than Cis People. And Hormones change a lot and change our bodies to our Gender we persive ourself with. I have a friend who is a Cis Male, but dosen´t produce enough Testosterone by himself. Which caused him to feel out of touch and couldn´t see himself like a real Man, even though he is Cis. After getting Regular Testosterone Injections he could finally feel more aligned with himself and his Body, what also Trans people feel after a while. And what I find mostly funny about the whole Trans women can not compete in Womens sport because of Biological Adventages, is that it implies they have to compete with man in Sport and Trans Man have to Compete with With Cis Womens. So you have Trans Mans that have the Hormonal advantages of a Cis Man, that have to Compete with Cis Women. Sounds like really fair play /s

Moral relativism is Satan‘s favorite weapon, because Godless people arrogantly anoint themselves a god so they can determine what they think is right or wrong, which is obviously subjective and not based in objective truth… a dangerous path for a society to take-i.e. see the Roman Empire.

@@abudielzein4841 KZbin is hardly the issue, and is t social media. Tik tok and other actual social media has been psychologically shown to alter kids personalities to the point where kids actually develop habits and even involuntary behavior including tics, from overexposure to short form content on social media. The societal pressure from Twitter, and other SM platforms can absolutely change a child’s opinions and values in a way that’s consistent with the overarching social narrative. It’s really hard for parents to overcome that kind of influence.

She is now older and likes being a female and wants to save other kids from getting confused.

Its quite predatory. Literally no one like the sound of their voice on a recording and ALL young people/people feel uncomfortable in their bodies at some point.

For at least 18 years they have been told that they are special, can be whatever, become whatever and have whatever they want if they just believed. The parents of these people were too frightened to tell their children truth. Honest truth. Every child nowdays never loses, is always highly talented and their true potential is ignored, because for some reason all of them are now polymaths. It's no surprise that the ones who were born in economically better situations don't know what the real world is like growing up. Protected from everything and anything, only for their child not to feel sad. If something didn't work out, it was never their fault. And now they're all virtue-whoring on social media with no sense of reality. Mental

[@mr.alpharius6409]

I'd like to politely disagree with your comment saying "It's no surprise that the ones who were born in economically better situations don't know what the real world is like growing up. Protected from everything and anything" I don't think it's fair to say that people of my generation don't know what the real world is like, I'd actually argue that we know a lot more about the real world than any generation before us, mostly due to the internet being around when we grew up and the debt crisis's that we are burdened with atm, However, I'd just say that I 'personally' think a lot of these problems might have come from the rampant "helicopter parenting" that we were exposed to, I'd say the way you teach people when their very young can severely effect them when they become adults and THE LACK to certain stimuli has probably done a lot of this. You can grow up in a perfect world but still be strong, I've seen it, people in their twenties juggling work, social and family life with insane debt and low pay but still soldiering on, being people. I'd argue that every generation had a problem like this, it's just different now because we use different methods.

[@alexanderphilip1809]

I'd like to add that what is happening riggt now in the US is a combination of everything you and OP mentioned.

The propagation of the gender identity movement by pharmaceutical companies is rarely talked about, but should be. The drug companies have had a significant role in the propagation of the movement, politically and socially. They have made billions of dollars in normalizing the off-label use of drugs for the purposes for which the drugs have not been approved, nor demonstrated to be safe. Likewise, the potential of these changes to become new acceptable precedents in the future for pharmaceutical drug use is also not questioned. Society has not even realized what is actually happening as the wool has been pulled over everyone's eyes. When a movement is shaped to look like a human right issue, anyone can turn a blind to even the most criminal and questionable acts.
