How and why did the understanding of sex/gender go from a combination of inherent biology + socialization (a woman is a female who was raised a girl, a man is a male who was raised a boy) - with sex and gender being basically synonymous terms - to whatever the fuck is going on in modern western culture?
>>
It’s a result of being perma online

Eunuchs were considered less than men and closer to women throughout history so the modern trans phenomenon isn't actually as wild a divergence from long-standing norms as you might think. It certainly didn't originate with the internet. >>18116565
>>
>>18116585
Trannies are the modern version of the pagan imperial eunuch cult.
>>
>>18116585
Thinking eunuchs are faggy (which is true) isn't the same as the trans/nonbinary crap going on nowadays.
>>
>>18116596
It's pretty close aside from the modern troons having no political utility for aristocrats other than serving as the occasional prostitute

>>18116552
The same reason mexicans work hard at shit jobs and white people don't. It's a question of how you see the world. If you're mexican, you're a brown underclass that has to struggle to succeed. Put your head down and shoulder to the wheel, and maybe someday you'll become what white people think of themselves: a people that has already 'made it' and therefore doesn't have to strive and struggle. It happens by the second or third generation.

The human body and even group dynamics are designed to do the work of civilization, work that no longer needs doing from the western liberal perspective. To a modernoid, the question of "who you really are" no longer relates to what you can achieve or your physical circumstances, it's more ephemeral than that. The idea of a self that doesn't match the body would be unthinkable in any past era, your self was your body, family, community, or nation, perhaps your work. Today self is centered on your choices, whatever you want to be is who you are.

I'm not understanding how this addresses my question. Eunuchs were not some common thing that people throughout history knew about or cared about. And eunuchs were not seen the same way as modern trans are either.
>>
>>18116552
Homosexuality is suicide and its pushed on the people (race) that they want to destroy.
>>
>>18116683
Trannies aren't common either, they're less than 1% of the population. If anything statistically there were more eunuchs around in the ancient world than there are trannies today. It wasn't just rich people using eunuchs, the poor often castrated their own children to sell them into prostitution.

Gaslighting by (((people))) who seek to destroy children's lives for fun and profit. Also to serve as a distraction from our transition to a neo-feudal economic system.

The only problem with this is she's married to a woman instead of being a tradwife for a chaser
>>
>>18116810
I wouldn't assume that.

Interesting points anon. Specially this bit:
>The idea of a self that doesn't match the body would be unthinkable in any past era, your self was your body, family, community, or nation, perhaps your work.

This is part of why I have a hard time understanding these (post) modern notions. The idea that you can be anything than what you are makes no sense to me. To me, it seems a symptom of deep disconnect caused by a sick society.
>>
>>18116865
Since we're talking about culture, reality is less important than what people think. Most white people didn't do shit to deserve their ruling status and mexicans don't really need to struggle. The ones who are still poor after two generations learn you can just leech welfare and the system doesn't care how hard a worker you are.

Think of LGBT liberation as the reward for reaching the end of history. People think civilization has been tweaked and war-gamed to completion and it's time for an age of introspection and holiness. The fact that they're wrong and worship false gods, that civilization and struggle will continue, has little bearing on the cultural movement.

Gays dont breed, they're a liability and wasted resources. Its literally suicide, homosexuality.
>>
>>18117213
how many children do you have?
>>
>>18117218
Three, possibly more that I am not aware of as well.
>>
>>18117213
>Gays dont breed
A lot of gays are married to women and have children with them while sucking cock with other men on the side. I don't know the exact percentage of this exactly but it does happen
>>
>>18117335

One must assume small to the point of irrelevance

Good to know, rabbi. Thanks for straightening me out on that.

How far back are you calling a past era? Buddhism (with it's not-self attitude toward the five aggregates, one of which is the body) and a good portion of Christanity (though moreso the heretical varieties) would disagree I think. "Flesh and blood will not inherit the kingdom of God" and "We would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord" and "With my mind I am enslaved to the law of God, but with my flesh I am enslaved to the law of sin" and "Wretched person that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?" and "For we know that, if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." (where tent is a metaphor for the body) are all lines from Paul which seem to reflect a strong mind/body opposition, and of course Jesus has the body/soul distinction "Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, fear the one who can destroy both soul and body in hell."

So I'm pretty sure "my self doesn't match my body" is an ancient feeling, and at best what's more recent is the idea that it should be solved by trying to change your gender with hormones and surgery, though IIRC a while ago some anon posted a bunch of evidence relating to transvestites and other gender-noncomformist behaviour historically so maybe that's ancient too and it was just suppressed for a while. But Idk much about that myself.
>>
Money hungry plastic surgeons and big pharma are the culprits
>>
>>18117511
No, what's more recent is the very idea of "trying to change your gender" as if it's something that can be altered, rather than an innate and immutable trait.
>>
>>18117477
Thanks for caring about that, I actually noticed it was wrong after I wrote it, or wrongly worded. There have been many different iterations of the same cycle including the decadence phase, no doubt there have been many self-erasing cultural moments. If there's anything unique about today it has to start with technology, a secular understanding of the world that would be impossible before modern science. The difference between Buddha or Jesus and LGBT is they believed in a distinction between the material and spirit worlds. Even where doctrine relates to the physical body, it would never declare supremacy over the physical because that is neither needed nor indicated. People become eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven, not to fix a problem with their bodies. Only today does the battle for meaning take place on physical terms, an impossibility before technology permitted communication at a distance. In the past, arguments over biology and physical reality had physical answers. Today, people still need to talk about the soul and the ineffable but they've lost the language.

jews invented trannies to poison the well of based masculine homosexuality.

TROONS ARE MENTALLY DISORDERED AND SHOULD BE FORCED INTO ASYLYUMS WHERE THEY BELONG
