Why can't 'trans women' just beeeeeeee themselves as cis, non-hrt feminine men, instead of larping as women?
>>
no reason they just don't want to do that, but why do (You) care if they take HRT or larp as women?

they need to learn to want that
it offends me when they are clearly putting on a performance to make others happy
>>
>>35504796
They do in some countries where they’re unable to get hrt or even identify as 3rd genders because they’re not viewed as women. If trans women had easy accese to hrt with the condition that they’d be categorized as a 3rd gender I think they would do it. The obsession with Trans women being women and nothing else comes from insecurity

>>
>>35504817
huh? why should they want that, what makes you think you have any kind of right to not be offended, and how do you know it's just to make others happy? aren't you actually demanding they do something they don't want to specifically to make you happy? seems like you have no arguments and just don't like trans people so you want them to disappear

how about we put you on hrt, have you grow tits and shit, and tell you that its normal?

>>35504857
outside the relationship of commodity fetishism you are perfectly able to call trans women "he." obviously capital stops this from happening because money can be made from propping up identities. but you're likely just a fucking monkey who couldn't work a simple retail job without seething and frothing

>>35504941
being trans is the act of conformance
>>
>>35505111
"conformity." what exactly do you mean by "punished socially"? sounds like people in your life weren't tolerating your rude, disrespectful behavior

i'm literally doing the opposite of that by transitioning lol. i've literally lost friends over this. ur so retarded. if i was living as a moid still life would be 10x easier. wanna know why i don't do it? it made me suicidal and boobs are nice lmao. not because society told me i had to trans myself kek. society told me to be a straight moid that has a million fucking kids
>>
>>35504796
because that wouldn't be myself? duh

>>35505308
being trans is pretending to be someone else because others do not accept what you are

The same reason they develop gender dysphoria in the first place. Normal society does not integrate people with GNC personality structures, so those who don't fit the bill are ostracized. Tomboys used to be much more common because they could always find a place with the boys. But feminine boys have always been too timid to group with other boys and too male to fit in with the girls (because boys have cooties). This mostly continues through life, not that GD hasn't already taken a hold. The dichotomy is essentially transition or repress yourself until you die.

because my internal gender identity is that of a woman and I will express it. secondly, gender dysphoria is a well recognized psychiatric condition and the only recognized psychiatric treatment is to transition.

I don't care about pronouns or being recognized as a woman. I don't look like one anyways so it's pointless to insist on something that obviously isn't true. I just like being on HRT and I'm never gonna stop :^)

the burden of proof is on you, anon. you should be able to prove that these people are being coerced, their claim that it was voluntary is non-falsifiable

most people either say that's a meme/honscience/placebo OR that the emotional changes are mostly negative (depression, lethargy, decreased libido, mood swings, irritability)
it's a lose-lose
>>
>>35509981
its mostly social pressure, its not like they are holding meetings telling you to transition
do you not believe in implicit social norms?
the proof is how widespread the custom is, even in places that supposedly dislike transgenderism
>>
>>35504938
>just call trannies "he"

OK, I guess I can.
But NEVER call a foid poonman or theyfab ANYTHING but the NOISE they WANT

(foid privilege + socialization)
>>
>>35510030
how are either of us going to prove that a social norm exists? I don't think that there is social pressure anywhere outside of niche groups which wouldnt qualify it as any sort of custom. But you don't agree with me. How can we move forward productively on this point and avoid just saying "it exists", "no it doesn't", "yes it does", "no it doesnt"
>>
>>35510030
you're such a fucking weasel
>the proof is how widespread the custom is, even in places that supposedly dislike transgenderism
the proof for trannies not being real is the fact that trannies exist even in places that discourage them? the way i see it, that's proof that there's an underlying biological cause for trannies, seeing it it persists even when discouraged.

anyways back up you're argument with sources or you're a retard

Such is the pathetic fragility of the fascist authoritarian.

Irrelevant to my argument.
You don't get to tell other people how to live and if you try to do so, you will be called an asshole for it.
Because it's something only an asshole would do.
>>
>>35510219
because you are not doing what you really want to, you are submitting because it is less effort and you are risk-averse

>>35510216
He literally made a thread specifically to complain about this. How is that not "screeching and crying"?

>>35510229
trannies are transitioning because others treat them better for doing so
it isn't your first choice, the alternative is worse

Asshole.

>>35510186
>its weird how they took the time to end segregation, so they acknowledge injustice is wrong
Please read up a bit more on how and why segregation was "ended", as in the effort it took and how "just" things became even after it was supposedly "ended" until even more laws were passed to really enforce things. Acknowledging injustice and rectifying it is something societies seem to want to do only with the greatest reluctance and when there's no other option left, not eagerly.
>>

isn't that just how society works?
i don't want to go to work but i still submit to it because the alternative is less risky.

how does "commodity fetishism" stop you from calling trans women 'he'? like gender wouldn't somehow exist in a society without commodities? it's not like gender was invented with capitalism

because like 90% of my dysphoria was physical. Fear of developing a masculine body from finishing puberty, hatrred of the male features I already had. Like if I had to choose between presenting as a gnc boy but taking estrogen and having srs. Or being a cis feminine man I would take the former every time.
>>
>>35510136
Nah having occasional LGBT representation in media isn't it. My family, my neighborhood, and all of the media I consumed growing up made fun of tranners. Drag is still gross acting so don't @ me about drag. The best rep I've seen is Dr Girlfriend from Venture Bros lol, and maybe newer gay cartoons which I get none of because I'm adult now, still those do not portray MTF transition nicely

this is a pro-trans (or at least neutral) superbowl ad from the 90s, it doesn't really prove much, it's just an oddity
https://files.catbox.moe/uz5p04.mp4
as of this decade though, if you can find a portrayal of a trans character, it will be positive, it's extremely rare to find a negative one; all the buffalo bills etc. are gone

You can't expect people to be feminine when their body is constantly producing a masculinizing substance. They can act however they want, of course, but it would be in total dissonance with their body.
>>
>>35511573
Can, but obviously it's not ideal, and some people find the mixture offensive.

Anon, myself is a trans woman. If you want to categorise that as something "other" than a woman then you and your cliques are free too, but if you want to categorise that as a lie and that "myself" is actually a 'cis man' then you just don't know me like I do.

On an unrelated note, "fights" should be "struggles". The "fight" translation is technically correct but "struggles" better encapsulates the quote (and is also a secondary definition of the original German word).

I might be wrong, but I get the impression that most people who argue against people being transgender tend to be sick and tired of having the topic shoved down their throat by the blue hair septum piercing crowd.

I wonder whether these people would still be sick and tired of trans people/ideology if it wasn’t plastered all over the media and they weren’t forced to conform to the ideology. Also, I bet these people wouldn’t give a shit if all trans people put in their best effort to pass and they kind of just blended in to society… If you’re gonna larp convincingly as master chief, an outfit made out of cardboard boxes probably won’t do the trick.

I’m all for people living how they want and more power to them, but with any ideology or way of thinking, there will always be those who take it to the extreme.

To answer the question though, you could compare it to saying, “why do schizophrenics larp as stable humans by using antipsychotics? Why can’t they just be themselves?”. Yeh I get that it’s quite a far fetched comparison, but I think it comes down to nearly the same answer; high risk of self inflicted harm, (maybe harm to others), and a very low quality of life. But that’s providing that the person suffers from gender dysphoria, an actual medical condition. No medical condition? No sound reason to transition imo.
