We have the mindrape that is transsexual ideology, enforced by fascist political correctness, and it is affecting children now. Kids are now becoming confused about their own gender and sex because of this normalization of mentally ill people who want to cut off their dick and balls and walk around calling themselves Nancy or whatever, and no one seems to care… sure let’s just form a society that fucks with the minds of our children from day one, so they don’t even form a coherent identity, and then we can make even more transgender retards. I suppose that is probably what these mentally ill people want, to expand their ranks.
Normalizing mental illness makes more mental illness.
I’ve never had someone explain to me why I have to accept that transgender is normal. I’ve asked people to explain it, but they can’t. Maybe someone here can do it.
Because so far all they have is trying to use the force of law and political correctness to force everyone else to accept that it’s normal. That’s what Peterson is fighting back against: if you can’t convince me that it’s normal, or that it’s ok, then don’t try to force me to act as if you have convinced me. You haven’t, and apparently you can’t. So the fault is on you.
I’m happy to accept transgenders and use their made-up pronouns so long as someone actually convinces me it is a good idea to do that. Where are the arguments, the sound reasoning, the impassioned and truthful appeals to fight for what is right? WHY THE FUCK CAN’T YOU ARGUE FOR YOUR OWN SIDE?? Hint: if you can’t coherently and rationally defend your own position then you may want to reconsider it, rather than grab a gun and try to force everyone else to your side.
I’m talking about criminalisation; you can of course lose your job or face a tribunal over all sorts of non-criminal activity. If your colleague Tom decides he’d rather be called Tina and addressed as a female, why do you feel that as a burdensome legal obligation rather than a matter of courtesy?
And I’m very much against the weaponisation of protective legislation, as I said, but that’s an artifact of the current institutions, especially in the US. When the executive is uninterested in engaging with the population, the voters become separated from the political process. The judiciary can still step in, though, so people go through supreme courts rather than working at a local level. The US civil rights movement was an early example of this, and since then it’s grown on both sides of the political divide.
Wyld - you seem very emotional about what other people do with their genitalia. Why does it bother you so much? Given that we live in diverse societies these days I’m not sure why accepting people and behaviour is something you need to be argued into to doing, rather than argued out of.
Sure go ahead and chop off your dick and call yourself a woman, I’m not going to stop you. In your case I might even encourage it. But don’t try to tell me I have to accept that is somehow normal, ok, healthy, or good, because it isn’t. It’s fucking insane.
Perhaps not criminalization (although I haven’t thoroughly looked into all of the relevant legal code), but still a high price to pay for say having an academic disagreement about gender identity theory as it becomes enshrined in law. Look if at this point in our conversation you think this is simply about reserving the right to be an asshole to people, I don’t know what I can say to complicate that view for you.
That’s pretty much the way things are, isn’t it? And people have the right to call you a bigot if you do that, and everyone’s happy and world understanding is advanced. It’s a bit precious to claim your mind is being raped by the effort.
You could explain in what contexts beyond being an asshole (or making a point for the sake of it, which may or may not be the same thing) it’s important to, say, keep calling a transgender colleague by their birth name and using their birth gender pronouns to refer to them. Or in what way it’s burdensome to you not to do so.
For example: for a doctor, it may be important to know their biological sex in planning surgery or prescribing drugs. I am fairly sure the law doesn’t prevent doctors from asking such questions.
Even other transgenders wont hire me. There all a bunch of bigots and fascists. Everyone is a bigot and fascist. They are all meat eaters and evil. The whole world is evil. It’s all a giant conspiracy against good.
