The Cult Of Transgender

[ThePaleoLibertarian]

It's interesting just how quickly the trans thing emerged. The gay movement has existed formally since the 1960s and could be traced back further to the Beat Generation and perhaps even before that to the more extreme fringes of libertine culture in the 1920s. Point being, it was brewing for a long time before becoming mainstream in the last two decades or so.

The trans movement doesn't have the same kind of discernable history. They've been tacked on to the gay movement for a while now, but it doesn't have the same kind of activist networks. It's like it sprung fully formed from the ether.

Who cares? Let people be free to live how they want to live.

A civilization cannot handle the normalization of things like this. Decadence is a sign of civilizational decline and few things are more decadent than casting off the reality of gender in favor of subjective whims.

transgender is the new anorexia

^^^ bing bing bing

 

[farreri]

Free to sexually abuse and mutilate children?

Screw that, anyone involved with any kind of "sex reassignment" procedures on kids needs to be locked in jail for a long time.

What age are the "children/kids" you're referring to, 9, 10?

 

[farreri]

What it were taught in school that considering yourself as the opposite sex that you were born as is ridiculous and moronic instead of celebrating it? Would you be ok with letting them live how they want?

Rearrange your words so I can understand what you mean better.

Is that why Rome fell? lol

18 -21 is the generally accepted "age of majority".

Hormone replacement is most effective when they start before they hit puberty. How would a person know for sure whether they are transgender before they hit puberty? They might have a good inkling or a clue, but it turns out a lot of kids end up growing out of it.

The fact that this is becoming the "cool" way for kids to be different or special means that a lot of the kids who want to make these permanent changes to their lives will regret it and would have been much better off without it.

If people tend to agree that kids under age 13 or 14 can't consent to having sex because they are too young and underdeveloped to understand the ramifications, why should they agree that they should be able to consent to having their private parts chopped off?

 

[NotAnIllegalImmigrant]

If a person wants to cut off any limb, we'd say they're mentally ill. If a man wants to have his balls and penis chopped off, then calling it a mental illness is bigoted. Makes perfect sense.

Rome was HUGELY decadent when it was collapsing and there was a lot of playing with gender identity in those days. It is difficult to know how much of this was from transgenderism, transvestitism or intersex and castrated priesthoods that existed at the time.

Regardless, decadence is an effect of social decay, not usually a cause, though ti does of course become a memetic feedback loop.

 

[PierzStyx]

I don't know about all schools, but the few I have been in have just been tripping over themselves to do what they can to not be sued. Whether the administrators and teachers agree with the idea, they have to support it or lose their jobs. And if they get fired for not supporting the idea they get labeled as "transphobic" and it is harder to find work.

Which really demonstrates the subtle evil of government education. The government doesn't even have to pass a law. Just threaten your job and your future if you refuse to comply.

Wasn't there a later emperor (Ellagabulus I think) who considered himself to be a woman?

So it was decadency and not all the lead they put in their water systems that caused Rome to fall. OK.

Decadence = inability to objectively observe/judge reality.

No civilization can survive without this ability for very long.

I tend to favor the theory that it was all that Brazilian tranny porn they were downloading that finally did them in.

Yeah, Elagabalus. Whether he was actually trans or that's just a modern reading of it is unclear.

You have trouble reading, evidently:

Regardless, decadence is an effect of social decay, not usually a cause, though ti does of course become a memetic feedback loop.

Besides, I've never seen any actual evidence that lead poisoning was a causal factor in Rome's fall.

 

[r3volution 3.0]

Adults want to mutilate themselves? Who cares, their problem.

Children want to mutilate themselves? Any custodian who allows it should be prosecuted for child abuse.

Indeed, which is why I don't find these issues very important in the grand scheme of things.

P.S. Incidentally, I'd attribute Rome's fall to economic decline, brought about by war and interventionist economic policies, which were in turn products of (a) the sheer size of the empire and (b) the fact that the Roman monarchy never developed a clear succession law, for whatever reason.

The Cult Of Transgender

Yes, a cultural war.... they keep trying to influence every generation at an even younger age because they know that the younger the person, the easier it is to pattern their behavior.

A cult.
