I provided nothing but quality respectful posts seeking answers to perhaps a sensitive question that impacts everyone in this society. Fight for your perceived purpose in this world, my perceived purpose is the preservation of truth.
So far in my short time here I have experienced both a community with positives but also a small minded approach to tough issues humanity faces, I have failed at finding a particular high standard of wit I desire from participants who will instead silence my controversial side so they are saved from realizing a truth that disrupts perhaps an incorrectly assumed moral right system of altruism without the sacrifice required to realize its benefits.
Ignorant humans will be the destruction of us all.
Here’s some elucidation. The second infographic is a handy synopsis of the article. Only 10 or 15 steps (that’s we know of so far) that have to happen to get to either side of that chart, and what do we do with everyone in the middle? I’d rather shrug and use whatever label they prefer than insist on using the one my layman’s knowledge might suggest.
I can see that is clearly not true based on your comment history lol. Maybe your shitty behavior flies in your irl social groups but this is the Internet.
I was speaking of the ones that were removed. What you are seeing now is retaliation for silencing a vibrant conversation that was close to finding a mutual understanding at least for me. It was right when I was realizing I may be wrong on certain aspects.
I hope you didn’t look up the definition before making this comment. It makes perfect sense that the many points of an idea are realized by combining them into a singular unified understanding of the concept. I don’t think you are capable of abstracting a bunch of points into a singular representation of a greater idea.
What is your level of education, if you are still working towards your GED it make me feel better at your inabilty to understand abstract ideas. I am surely done dumbing down my argument for your benefit. We are done here.
Fight for your perceived purpose in this world, my perceived purpose is the preservation of truth.
The real truth is that being transgender is much more nuanced and complicated than “there’s men and women”. It’s a mental health issue, and the treatment for it happens to be to transition to match the gender your brain developed into. Because you have XX chromosomes doesn’t mean you can’t grow a man’s brain and vice-versa. Like come on those people don’t even recognize themselves as themselves in the mirror because of gender dysphoria. Who would wish that on anyone?
And that’s it, it’s that simple. All it costs other people is to not be assholes about it.
Everything people fear with their transphobia is that, phobia, fear that’s not based in reality or vastly disproportional to reality. Trans people aren’t there to take over and make cis people illegal, they’re not there to make your cis kids trans, they’re not there to trap you into having gay sex. They just want the same basic respect everyone else gets. Conservatives fear that because that’s how their conservative agendas work: gaslight people into “it’s not that bad” and then proceed to strip as many people’s rights as they can. There is no trans agenda, just like there’s never been a gay agenda. Nobody but cis straight usually white republicans are out there trying to convert everyone to their religion and version of reality.
It’s pretty clear cut too. If you give hormones to a cisgender person, they’ll start experiencing the same kind of mental distress as a trans person until you reverse it back. Thus, even if they wanted to, they couldn’t “groom” cis kids into becoming trans kids. It just doesn’t work that way. Some end up trying it and quickly realize they aren’t trans and that answers their question right there. That’s why we use puberty blockers for kids: if they change their mind they’re only like a year or two behind on puberty and that’s the end of it. Those are used by a wide variety of non-gender related growth issues too, for decades. Just try it yourself: try to imagine yourself as if you woke up the opposite gender. If it freaks you out, congratulations you’re cis. That’s what trans people feel until they transition.
Actually smart people care about much more important issues, because trans people aren’t and never have been an issue. The affordability crisis is much, much more important than oppressing a group of people that literally doesn’t cause any problem to anyone except bigots who just make up whatever nonsense reason to hate them.
My phobia is the fear of ignorant people taking over the world.
Do you like shit your pants when you look in the mirror? It’s pretty obvious the community doesn’t want you, why are you so desperate for our approval?
Look at the ego on this guy, I am the one in the process of terminating this community from my life because I don’t want to associate with losers who barely hold on to an high school level of comprehension they barely can maintain.
Yes waiting on me, thanks peasant for asserting my status in relation to the likes of you. I am going to get my moneys worth, are you able to stop me from that?
Guess so. Don’t forget to reply so you can draw out the drama of you leaving such a vile place. Bring out some trumpets for extra fanfare, so you look good in front of all the people that are apparently beneath you.
To be frank, silencing an honest discussion on a high emotion topic is a sign of weakness and control. I was at the verge of restructuring my understanding to accommodate the information learned from the beauty of discussion.
Have you ever read a work from Plato? Have you ever realized that one of your fundamental beliefs may be wrong?
Surely someone who believes living forever is possible is beneath the mighty weight of your wit.
If you are on Lemmy trying to change the world and tackle human issues, I fear that you have latched on to the wrong conduit for that. That takes action and stuff.
Putting yourself on the high ground and wagging your finger just puts you in troll territory. And no, your posts are far from “quality” or the slightest bit “respectful”.
This is the most genuine response yet, thank you for the perspective. As someone who wants to change the world for the better, who wants to see humanity improve; sustaining a blow to my health that took half my life away doesn’t someone have to start somewhere?
I do recognize I am aggressive and a pompous asshole so that doesn’t help any cause besides my desire for everyone to see the beauty in absolute truth.
If you recognize something about yourself that you do not like, then you have a wonderful opportunity in front of you to change that thing, whatever it is!
Bonus: it is actually possible to do that, whereas trying to change the entire world is an enormously difficult task that is guaranteed to be quite frustrating.
But it will take effort, and time, and I wish you the absolute best of luck! Try to find some irl people that can be there to encourage you on the path.
Appreciate the support, understanding a condition of suffering is tough to appreciate if never experienced, some human conditions are horrific and unavoidable. As an example, at least partly due to the suffering endured by Viktor Frankl discovered a whole new approach to dealing with psychological healing.
My body is exhausted, my nerves unsettled, my muscles fail to respond like an animal rescued from a pool exhausted but lucky enough to be saved, just like being lost at sea, no landmarks to guide the way to safety. Now expand that to 20 years and you too would be panting, disoriented and tired when rescued from drowning.
The embodiment of an aching soul at least in my case may be realized by a quote from Elvis’ last perfomance of Unchained Melody. “And time goes by so slowly. And time can do so much”
It’s one button, my guy. How many buttons do you need to push to get someone else to ban you? This is way more effort. You’re obviously not doing it to save effort.
My suspicion is that you’re doing this because contempt is the closest thing to love that you have in your life right now, but either way, this is just kinda pathetic.
My actions are no more petty than the actions of the moderators of the popular subs that banned my powerful but respectable voice. The best thing I got going in my life is owning pseudo thinkers like you.

I am not falling for your bait, that discussion was won by me before any mutual meaningful understanding was found.
I can see that is clearly not true based on your comment history lol. Maybe your shitty behavior flies in your irl social groups but this is the Internet.

Mod logs are public, so I can also see the posts that were removed.
You speak like you have the upper hand, you can’t consolidate my idea just like the others I were discussing with were unable to.
I don’t think “consolidate” means what you think it does. That sentence makes no sense.

How old are you? No one talks like this.
What is your level of education, if you are still working towards your GED it make me feel better at your inabilty to understand abstract ideas. I am surely done dumbing down my argument for your benefit. We are done here.
Thanks for streamlining the search for poster child
Poster child? You mean a means of propagating propaganda? A good cause can still be propaganda.

Sorry bud, silencing my voice was submission that you can’t beat it. You lost the battle let it rest.
You are welcome to take your transphobic and other ignorant beliefs back to reddit. You’re just too high IQ for Lemmy.
My phobia is the fear of ignorant people taking over the world. Enjoy the shit show you short sighted twat.
Do you like shit your pants when you look in the mirror? It’s pretty obvious the community doesn’t want you, why are you so desperate for our approval?
Kick rocks big brain.
Look at the ego on this guy, I am the one in the process of terminating this community from my life because I don’t want to associate with losers who barely hold on to an high school level of comprehension they barely can maintain.
“Process”. The process is logging out my man. We’re all waiting on you there.
Yes waiting on me, thanks peasant for asserting my status in relation to the likes of you. I am going to get my moneys worth, are you able to stop me from that?
Okay this is a solid comeback. I match the level of intensity and this site is definitely not resonating Shakespeare vibes.
🤓
I haven’t read something that IaMsOsMaRt! in a long time. Bye Felicia.
Either I am mistaken and this community is filled with geniuses or I am right and my post title is confirmed.
Guess so. Don’t forget to reply so you can draw out the drama of you leaving such a vile place. Bring out some trumpets for extra fanfare, so you look good in front of all the people that are apparently beneath you.

Surely someone who believes living forever is possible is beneath the mighty weight of your wit.
Past tense, my respect was met with being silenced, this is my retaliation, don’t dish out injustice if you can’t take it in return.
If you believe retaliation to be a reasonable excuse for being an asshole, why did you delete your comment?
And what exactly was the injustice you feel that you have suffered from the comment above it?
If you are on Lemmy trying to change the world and tackle human issues, I fear that you have latched on to the wrong conduit for that. That takes action and stuff.

Yup so the log out button is right there on the top right
Save me the trouble.
It’s one button, my guy. How many buttons do you need to push to get someone else to ban you? This is way more effort. You’re obviously not doing it to save effort.
