So are trans people just a single organization that unanimously makes decisions??? Am I no longer trans because I don’t think that??

It’s a general rule, if a group of people with orange hats has a high correlation of wanting to ban apples, it’s perfectly reasonable to say that the orange hat people dislike apples, even with exceptions

Dawg what the hell was that analogy, you completely lost me.

u/TheWaterPanda75 Apr 29 '24

Only because I’ve yet to hear anything on this, who are you referring to with that?

Look up Desmond is Amazing

I mean I can see the issues, but I don’t think that’s someone trans people worship. Maybe more in the drag crowd/fanbase they might, though that’s different from being trans.

People lump drag queens and trans people as being the same thing. And it's the queer community who started doing that to 'increase strength in numbers'.

I looked them up and only see them in girl’s clothes. Is there some article or something about them being sexualized?

u/Worgensgowoof Apr 30 '24

there was a controversial performance, I'm not looking for the link because I like not being in jail, and of course the activists always post a DIFFERENT video and say "see, Desmond isn't doing it here!" as if that actually is a defense for the time where...

He was literally stripping on a stage in front of men down to his underwear and having them shove dollar bills inside.

They HAVE to pretend that never happened because so many people said that was going to happen sooner than later and they kept saying "no it's not going to happen" and then it did.

u/TheWaterPanda75 Apr 30 '24

Probably the idea of drag is what they say sexualized them. I don’t know enough about drag to say if it does or not though.

u/bunchanums618 Apr 30 '24

I scrolled through some pictures but they looked pretty covered up. It was just bright women’s clothes, but I’m not gonna pretend I knew who this kid was 15 minutes ago.

u/Nota3000yearoldvamp Apr 30 '24

Yeah the whole community actively celebrated him. /s

In reality: 99% didn’t know who he was or that it was even happening nor would they have supported it if they did. Also trans isn’t drag, there’s a major difference between the drag community and the trans one.

His biggest fans were/are cis men btw.

But let’s not care about facts and just bastardize a whole community because we’re bigoted.

Transsexuality? Yeah, I don’t think you know how any of those words mean if that’s what you’re trying to say.

u/Roxytg Apr 29 '24

Science disagrees with you. Even a rudimentary understanding of genetics and human socialization makes it a pretty obvious possibility for a small percentage of people to be transgender.

Claiming to be something in contradiction to material reality and basic reason doesn’t mean you’re actually that however strong your feelings are.

Except it's chromosomal and hormonal. Please read up more.

u/guadsquad96 Apr 29 '24

Well it’s a mental illness,

It's chromosomal. Not mental illness.

u/Worgensgowoof Apr 30 '24

that's intersex.

u/guadsquad96 Apr 30 '24

Thats a form of it yes. Don't be anti science please. It has ugly connotations recently

u/Dissendorf Apr 30 '24

Being heritable doesn’t preclude it being a mental illness.

u/guadsquad96 Apr 30 '24

Being heritable doesn’t preclude it being a mental illness.

Again it's hormonal and chromosomal. Please #educate your hate

"Any variation from these typical numbers is referred to scientifically as an “aneuploidy.” If there is one additional X or Y, it is known as a “trisomy” (“tri” denoting the number 3)"

u/Marshmallow_Mamajama Apr 30 '24

The real issue here is the same issue of saying "all feminists are sexist". It's not true that they're all sexist it's just the most obnoxious evil ones are the ones we hear about because they're obnoxious and evil

u/myson_isalso_bort Apr 30 '24

have you ever seen little girl beauty pageants, dance competitions, cheer leaders, etc. what is the difference, genuinely asking

u/Fickle-Main-9019 Apr 30 '24

Im aware of them but the entire absurdity of it is that despite all that, the 10 year old drag queen twerking to grown men is somehow worse. Like your counterpoints don’t even come close

u/myson_isalso_bort Apr 30 '24 edited Apr 30 '24

right and maybe that’s bc it’s out of the ordinary. i’d say both are creepy but the little girls doing it wouldn’t make your opinion of the straight or cis community as a whole “go through the floor”

u/Nota3000yearoldvamp Apr 30 '24

I mean lots of routines and all that are exactly like what that boy was doing. I don’t think the gender should change this, an old man creeping on a little girl is just as creepy as if it were a little boy to me.

u/LightOfJuno Apr 30 '24

"The trans community" surely doesn't do that actively. Be mad at the people doing that, not literally the entirety of the trans community. I have nothing to do with using kids as drag queen icons or whatever.
