There are manly women and womanly men. They need to be taught to accept and be comfortable with themselves the way they are, not deluded into thinking they can change their gender. Because that track leads them down an inevitably dark mental health path that often ends like this. It’s not the “lack of social acceptance” that make them suicide. Today’s tranny can insulate themselves among plenty of do-gooders and fellow patients who will perpetuate their delusion with praise and validation. But it’s the inescapable reality that no matter how much they attempt to bend the truth, they will never be what they’ve been told they can be. Every person needs to learn to love themselves as they are, good and the bad, to achieve better mental health.

This is so true. Back in my day we recognized this and had Tomboys. Calling a girl a Tomboy was descriptive, not an insult. I have many "manly" characteristics and never questioned my gender. These people are trying to push people into little boxes based on narrow definitions of what it means to be male or female.

Collectivists gonna collect. That's why racism is a collectivist mindset. Conservatives tend to focus on individualism and it's why we have such a hard time debating or discussing topics related to collectivist thought, we simply don't speak the same "language" or share a common worldview with them.

Speaking as someone who was a Tomboy (and I suppose I still am), I can confirm this as reality. My mom and I were discussing it recently and I pointed out that, were I in school now, the admins would've gone to her and my dad insisting I wanted to be a boy. Nope. Sorry. I just liked to climb trees and shoot bb guns and tackle boys I liked (how else was I to show I liked them, huh?).

Of course, my parents would have ripped them to shreds had that happened. Now, parents are the ones pushing this crap. It's child abuse, plain and simple.

There have always been Tomboys and Sissys. Yes people poked too much fun at them, but at least we were sane.

The funny thing is a forced "transition" is how they treat gays/lesbians in Iran. It's forbidden and punishable by death, so if caught in an illegal relationship, they have to undergo sex reassignment to "cure" themselves of gender dysphoria and become the "woman" or "man" in a straight relationship, lest they want to be stoned or thrown off a rooftop. It's not "progressive", it's barbaric. Yet, there are people on the left willing to view it as the former- and "enlightened" policy. Hogwash. It's a perfect example of a government/society completely NOT accepting someone as they are. Why would people in the West feed into this sort of unhealthy thing? Not to mention it opens the door for oppurtunists to screw over women, especially in physical things like sports competition or wherever the sexes should be alotted their own exclusive domains. Sargon had a good interview with Posie Parker about this very issue.

You're bringing logic into a discussion that doesn't involve it.

This so much!! We've practically taken that option off the table and are sending so many conflicting messages about gender not being binary while lauding trans who make gender so completely binary...with a twist or kink.

Trans people kill themselves because they aren't getting the mental help they need to reconcile their own bodies and selves.
