Within the past couple of years i have been writing angry and hateful comments on articles, youtube posts.. some of them were flat out mean. Yes i am against the idea of transitioning and the overall transgender activism rights. That doesn’t mean i hate transgenders, i hate the idea of it and the message that they are trying to convey. Of course in the beginning it was rage and hateful and even then any time i talk to a transgender activist, it’s like i’m talking to an unknown entity because nothing what they say makes any sense. Nor can i ever say anything that would make sense to them. It’s because their reality or their perception of reality doesn’t match the actual reality of the real world. In fact in order to understand them you basically have to detach yourself from reality itself.
Basically some trans activists have said that they wish religion and all the old people set in their old ways would die off. In essence they are rejecting anything that doesn’t fit in their perception of the way the world should be. The problem is, they are being rejected for their ideas and often times complain that people are not being accepting of it. Tolerate is more of a realistic goal than acceptance, because by any means we’re already being forced to tolerate it or our lives will become problems. Like NYC for an example, fining a hefty price for anyone who discriminates a transgender which sort of forces people to tolerate them. But it doesn’t mean they are accepting it either. And to be honest, most transgenders that i have spoken to, are crazy. Whatever that case may be it’s really not an excuse for making transitioning valid. Nor is it a validation that they are being discriminated against and still saying ‘people need to be more accepting of transgenders’. History shows you can’t really control people, not really. Even then laws are basically as good as posting a sign that says ‘don’t walk on the lawn’. That sign or message won’t keep people, let alone animals from trampling on the lawn. There’s laws that say don’t steal, yet people steal anyway. Murder is yet another law that simply states, ‘do not murder’ that people do anyway and it certainly seems like it’s pretty apparent that these laws don’t really prevent these things from happening.
Telling people they have to accept transgenders is like those laws. Even if they were put in place it still won’t stop the discrimination. So even if in 5 or 10 years more laws for transgender rights isn’t going to stop the negativity surrounding it. It’s going to continue and if anything it’s going to get worse (since it already has gotten worse). This would be the exact reason why i am against transitioning and why i don’t recommend doing it. I however recommend finding a much better solution and treatment. It’s the only way to prevent discrimination, what’s there to discriminate if there isn’t anything to discriminate against. Racial discrimination is still apparent in this world, even with gay rights and the over abundance of acceptance there’s still hate groups out there and gay people are still getting hurt. It certainly seems that we’re not at all looking at this from a logical standpoint. Racial discrimination, can’t be changed. Homosexuality, well need to know works pretty well and if you don’t know if your neighbor is gay then there’s no discrimination there. The problem with transgenders is if you don’t tell people you are, it still causes problems and even deception. Some are still easily identifiable and real easy to avoid but even then people will seek those people out and often times leads to violence.
The best and most effective way to deal with transgender discrimination is don’t be transgender. Don’t transition. It may sound easier than it is but when transgender activists are spending more of their time getting rights and trying to gain acceptance instead of actually looking for a much more reliable and effective, safe treatment the discrimination will continue. And that’s not leading anywhere fast. The problem is, that while they may think they are right and fighting for a cause it’s causing innocent people to get caught up in it and the bigger problem is that parents or even the kids who disown their family often times ends up getting no where anyway. You offer one treatment, one that is highly debatable and often rejected, of course you’re going to have a big problem on your hands. Especially when society isn’t designed to handle these problems which leads to violence. The transgender community isn’t approaching this from a logical and ethical standpoint and this is where they run into problems. And just because there isn’t another treatment doesn’t mean a proper cure or treatment doesn’t exist! I bet before smartphones came around people were saying, ‘there needs to be a phone built like a computer’ and others are saying ‘that doesn’t exist, it’s fiction’. Some if not many transgenders don’t even want a treatment, because then it would mean they are really living in a fantasy world. But the bottom line is this is a problem that needs fixing and the most effective way of dealing with it isn’t trying to convince people that they need to be accepted but finding a more realistic treatment that doesn’t involve making radical changes.
I don’t think the transgender community understands this but they really need to understand this if they want to stop the violence. If they were people like me and the other person down the street or whatever they’d be thinking with a bit more logic instead of a one way tracked mind that transitioning is the only answer and people must accept this, even though they don’t. I don’t understand why it’s necessary for a male to identify as a woman when it doesn’t even make any sense and the arguments for it is completely fictional. And yes it will get worse for transgenders. People have started hate groups such as the KKK for far less. I can almost guarantee that a hate group against transgenders will eventually form, if it’s not already formed already. Just because it’s not receiving the media attention or you haven’t heard of this doesn’t mean it’s not there. I guess i could say the same for transgender children but then again it wasn’t a part of history to begin with. Must not have been a major problem but suddenly in this day and age it is and we’re told to deal with it. With all the years of this being hidden in the dark, this is going to be a huge mess. Best to find that cure for gender dysphoria while your still alive!
As always, any trans activists attempting to blow smoke will not be tolerated in the comment section.
Hello,
I have to say I find your opinions regarding “transgenders” to be rather interesting. Not because I agree, but because I am sure I have heard many of the things you write to have been said about another group of undesirables over the years.
You know “those people”, the homosexuals.
I can not count the times I have read how they are living a lie, how they are unnatural. How they are mentally ill.
How they have an “agenda”.
I have seen more than one report which claims they should either accept living heterosexual lives, just like normal, rational people or they need to be locked away. I mean why aren’t there better ways to treat such people than simply accepting them as they are? Why should normal, healthy men and women be forced to accept their abnormal choices which, as any sane person knows, goes against the very fabric of nature its self? Seriously, don’t these people understand if they cannot reproduce by natural means, that being the physical union of a man and a woman, then they cannot be real? They are living in a land of delusion and fantasy. What’s next, humans and animals? Humans and inanimate objects? Where do they want societies acceptance to stop? When can rational people say, enough?
Another thing is, how can they expect anything other than animosity and violence? How can they think society is ever going to accept the choice they have made? They lived for centuries in the shadows of the heterosexual majority and now they want to thrust themselves into the light of our every day lives? To be seen and treated as some how “normal”?
What’s more, there is a good chance they will find hate groups rising up against them much the same as the KKK. Groups who will persecute them, who will seek to drive them back underground or even kill them for no other reason than they dared to make their presence known.
Really, shouldn’t they just give up and accept being like everyone else? Isn’t there some form of therapy which could get them to see the error of their ways and force them to live a heterosexual life?
Oh, and if they commit suicide? If they become addicted to drugs, become homeless, jobless, forced to turn to dangerous sex work to survive, doesn’t that just prove the point that they are mentally unstable and in need of help?
Just somethings your words have caused me to consider.
Hi, Kira!
Thank you for being considerate here. I was expecting some irrational comments but thankfully that hasn’t happened yet. They just won’t get approved! I noticed that some people like your comment compare this to homosexuals and you know that is completely fine. I also think that this is something that transgenders should consider. Homosexuality doesn’t affect anyone other than the immediate family. If you happened to like someone that is gay, they’ll generally tell you that ‘well i’m not interested’.
Transgender on the other hand is tricky and since society is already up in arms over racial issues and gay rights it’s really not a good time to be really pushing transgender laws, especially since there are a lot of anti-trans bills floating around. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/02/24/state-legislation-targets-trans-community-like-never-before.html
I already predicted that would happen, in my early transgender rantings i had predicted that there would be some sort of backlash and including an increase of violence which is somewhat being reported or maybe not happening as well as i had imagined and it’s definitely not that i am hoping this would happen because it’s still really mostly guesswork. And with the bathroom thing i’m just wondering was it at all worth it, privacy curtains? Wouldn’t the girls already know they are transgender with all this public outcries? http://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/settlement-reached-palatine-ill-township-high-school-district-211-remedy-transgender-discrimination
“They lived for centuries in the shadows of the heterosexual majority and now they want to thrust themselves into the light of our every day lives? To be seen and treated as some how “normal”
I think the problem is, since before 2013 there hasn’t been a very good or really any push towards transgender rights. People were not even aware of them! Heck i was more worried about the future of mankind but if we are struggling with the smallest things like deciding whether we should be voting for the lesser evil of two presidents or maybe we should be finding better presidents in office, then i really shouldn’t worry over the future because our future won’t’ be very bright if we are not making small steps first.
“Really, shouldn’t they just give up and accept being like everyone else? Isn’t there some form of therapy which could get them to see the error of their ways and force them to live a heterosexual life?”
I wouldn’t really say forcing them to, because still it’s their decision. Most of what i am trying to convey here is that is it really smart to become someone where you are discriminated for? The argument though really isn’t whether you have those feelings, the argument is what are you going to do with those feelings, ignore them.. try to find a cure or simply give into those feelings and risk all the problems that come with it?
I look at the way things are with transgenders and see it’s far better to avoid transitioning at all costs because of the multitudes of problems that come with it. So it may sound like society is forcing transgenders to be heterosexual but also that some people are just trying to point them in a better direction.
Thank you for taking the time to respond to my reply, I appreciate your willingness to have an intelligent, thoughtful dialogue.
There are many issues surrounding being transgender, all of which are extremely complicated and will require careful thought and a willingness to communicate, which sadly, is too often lacking from online discourse.
