The way you talk, I sincerely doubt you’ve ever met or been around trans people. But hey, maybe I’m wrong. Maybe you have. The thing is, me and you are talking from the outside making assumptions. You sre saying they are purposely getting influenced into becoming trans and I am saying they are born that way. But, have we ever considered what they say? They say the same thing! That they just feel how they feel about themselves early on.
Trans existed way before social media. It was just way more dangerous to be one back then as they would typically get murdered or outcast. But the natural inclination was always there in some people. Do the research. I’m not making that up. Some of you seem to think transexuals are this new phenomenom thst spurred from the internet.
I do think the internet has influenced more people to come out. And I believe that’s a matter of it being more globally accepted. Why would someone just become trans because the media tells them to?
Becoming trans is a difficult process that limits them in society in so many ways. You don’t know where to use the bathroom, you don’t have the correct genitalia and might have to chop it off, a great portion of society is going to reject you and find you weird, you’ll often doubt your own gender cauae of how masculine/feminine you naturally look, people you want typically won’t want you back, ext… this isn’t some desirable thing to be. It isn’t some choice people jump on because the media pushed them. It’s a hard ass decision and at the end of day, it doesn’t matter whether me or you agree with it or not, its their body!
Why are you so concerned with what other people do with their bodies. None of my business. Why are you making it yours? It’s such a waste of focus. Such a waste of energy to get outraged by things that don’t affect you at all.
But okay, the effect you guys keep talking about is that ‘look at how the world is getting feminized! Men are dressing like women!!!’ Or ‘I’m tired of people getting offended by me just telling it how it is.’ Now let me address some stufff you said.
For one, a lot of guys want the world to go back to the way it was. Man, the world was far worse back then. There were constant wars, minorities got little to no respect everywhere, women got mistreated and mishandled everywhere. It was a man’s world. We made the rules and we took care of things… and we did so poorly. We almost destroyed the world with nuclear bombs lol.
Getting more empathetic in the past few decades has allowed us to be more considerate of others. More compassionste and not engage in as much conflict as we have been.
And this is not accounting for many of the countries that are male dominated such as many muslim countries that will stone women to death for wearing the wrong clothing. Or some african countries where women and children are enslaved. These are purely male domianted societies and those are the extremes I’m talking about.
A balance needed to occur. For a man to reach his full potential, feminine aspects are necessary. There is no masculinity without feminity, they are both one. You mistake the polarities as some sort of black and white mechanism.
So being more in touch with your emotions is weakness? That is strength. Being able to feel your emotions at their full capacity and flow with them is power. Bottling up your emotions like most men do just turns these emotions into repressive energies that then turn into rage. That is weakness. To be able to tske your emotions head on is hard and harsh but that takes so much strength. Being able to is masculine.
Some think being stubborn is strength because you don’t back down from your beliefs? That is a weakness of mind. That means even if your wrong, you won’t back down. That means you limit yourself from being able to learn anything. You limit your perspective from moving outside your very limited perspective. That means you are weak to ideas that contradict yours and that you cannot accept being wrong. That is a weakness in my eyes.
As for resilience. That is an excellent trait and I practice it by engaging in cold showers and talking to people I disagree with. But moreso, being empathetic with people I disagree with. It takes all of me to do that. It’s difficult and hurts at times. But that’s strength in my eyes. To do the difficult things everyone else isn’t willing to do.
Power in my eyes is the ability to exercise my thoughts and willpower onto the world. And I think one can do so to create positive change by considering what could bring the most peace to the people around you.
Dominance is when you force the world to bend to your will and do what you want, even if it doesn’t benefit anyone else. So as long as it benefits you. That doesn’t quite lesd to positive change in the world around you.
So I believe in masculinity and do my best to practice it in a positive way. The thing is, to practice it in a positive way requires some femininity into it. I have been around alphas/sigmas all my life (my dad and his brothers, gangs in high school) and I learned that level of extreme masculinity tends to be very inconsiderate of other people and is rooted in trying to dominate. My dad’s gotten better though as he’s gotten more in touch with his feminine side (although… still very traditional in being above my mom cause hes the man. I can’t change that lol)
When I mentioned the extreme traits of masculinity, I did not say being masculine means you’re manipulative. It’s just the most extreme traits can sometimes be these things just as I said feminine extreme traits can be naivete (being really dumb and not knowing anything).
And that’s why I preach for balance. We all exist in this world. Men, women, lgtbq and we aren’t ever going to be at peace if we aren’t considerate of eachother. I did say that I think lgbqt need to be considerate of other people’s beliefs and not try to force them down people. That doesn’t work and doesn’t help their cause at all. Especially, with the media doing a witchhunt on anyone with an opposing opinion. I am against that.
If you want to be treated equally, you esrned to right to get criticized equally. And asking questions of body dysmorphia, children being influenced, ext are questions that are fair to ask.
That being said, who is asking christians, muslims or other religious people these questions who have put their entire faith into gods there are no proof of? There isn’t exactly a big fuss about such a thing that is making people so angry that they make big posts like this about them all being delusional.
Who is asking us, who put our faith in audios that supposedly have all these effects on our body, chakras and so on?
Just like we all believe in what we believe in without definitive evidence, others such as transs believe in what they believe in. Now I understand in this case, their physicality objectively defies their belief but so as long as such beliefs aren’t hurting anyone, I think we should respect it. Just like we want the respect, give others the same level of respect too.
