Leftist Child Grooming

[King Arts]

Body dysphoria is a well known medical thing, sexual dysphoria SHOULD just be considered a subset of body dysphoria and similar treatments tried, which in my understanding mostly attempting to correct the incorrect mental perception, rather than amputating the offending body part.

Then there is a actual even rarer situation of actual hermaphroditism... and not sure how that should entirely be handled...

There is no such things as actual hermaprodites. Humans can be male or female. Some males or females have genetic disorders that give them some sort of mutation that can resemble the other gender. For an actual hermaprodite to be real and human it would be a being that could both impregnate women/or other hermaprodites, AND be impregnated by a man/or other hermaprodites.

No such being is living on earth as far as I know.

The problem is that people are making money off of this mess.

Well, here's a solution: We turn everyone into cybermen. No worries about "race, colour, creed, gender, or sexuality" then.

...Actually, no; a lot of Leftists would probably like that. smh

Ah yes, typical Stellaris playthrough.

Hermaphrodites are complete outliers, and even then there are those that are either more feminine or masculine despite having both sets of organs; IIRC they usually have surgery to remove or "disable" the organs they don't want e.g. a woman removing the penis and testes or a man removing the ovaries/womb/"bonus hole" *coughlaughcough*. They shouldn't be taken as any standard of measurement as much as someone born with a conjoined twin should be for normal human development (from cell to person).

There has never been a human with 2 full functioning sets of genetelia. Instead you have interesex individuals who have either 1 functioning set + 1 partial incomplete nonfunctional set. or far more commonly, 2 sets of incomplete nonfunctional genetelia.

Slugs are true hermaphrodites. not humans

One thing I never understood both in real life and sci-fi? Did we not learn from the terachings of Rome? Take what works about a philosophy and remove what doesn't. Why must we be pure machines when we can take the best of both, the human spirit and the ability to empathise and feel, and combine it with the durability of steel?

I mean I have my share of disdain for humanity at times but often it's because we let the worst aspects of our carnal nature override our soul and our ability to do good, not because we are different. Heck isin't the mantra of the left "Diversity is our strength"? seems like an absolute pure machine ascension like the Cybermen would be counterintuitive to that.

Tl;DR the virgin Cyberman vs the chad Cyborg.

Wait you guys have bad taste. The spiritual civics are better. Because you can get psychic powers.

Well, the mechanics of the game reward purity over diversity. Diversity breeds hostility and infighting. While a singular race of machines do not have that problem.

Additionally, it is highly complex and requires multiple different ascension routes working in parallel to create super cyborgs. As you need to genetically engineer all the races into a similar template and also cybernetically augment them and also terraform all the planets to be identical.

And there are special limitations. removing traits is highly limited. And organizing the whole thing is a weak GUI and a massive mess due to immigration and conquest giving you massive excessive diversity that is known to cause slowdowns.

meanwhile, the machines are a singular cohesive race. And you can convert anyone you conquer or acquire via immigration into your own race with no restriction.
... except other machine empires ironically. which you either end up converting to be identical or exterminate.

Also, for some reason cyborgs still die of old age. no matter how advanced your tech gets.

Then again, the lack of soul could lend to the argument that all your people are dead too. as they are computers emulating a person rather than an actual person.

That's the fucked up part: folks in the Suburbs using the facade of suburban family values by getting involved in illegal activities like this mess.

so consume and consume until there is nothing left. that does not sound like a great win condition.

Blair white posted a video of her going to an actual therapist and it is a video discussing the actual way she fees and how she is trans. Unlike the trenders

I suspect a lot of child "transitions" are...

Honestly even before that, like back in the '90s and early 2000s, remember how a lot of kids were getting medicated because they all had like ADHD or something else? I feel like that was the same thing or coming from the same place. I knew someone who had a mom like that, where something had to be wrong with each of her kids and things were so tough on her, so she could come off as being all strong and brave and such.

 

[Captain X]

The amount of women who've said they'd actually "grown out" of their insecurities by the time they'd entered college (or that age-range) is staggering.

These days it's "oh, I'm insecure as a teen because my tits are smaller than my classmates'? I must be a boy trapped in a female body, according to the guidance counselor!" And so they embark down a path of brainwashing and mutilation.

Even worse are some examples I've seen lately where girls are developing into "conventionally attractive" women and they actually hate the fact that they're getting shapely and are extremely self-conscious about it.

future generations are not going to judge us well for this shit.

The ADD boom was related to a different but related issue: the feminization of education.

And I don't mean this in the sense of "education getting soft" I mean it in the sense of "education being oriented to how females learn". You also have the dramatic drop off rate of usage of stimulants in teenagers and adults in the 90s and 00s, which revealed that many people had been self medicating for ADD with caffeine and nicotine.

But basically, through the 90s and 00s you saw the reduction and removal of recess time, a greater focus on rote learning and a reduction in hands on classes like shop. One thing we know about boys compared to girls is that they have more nervous energy and need to be running and doing things to blow that off in order to then be able to focus on learning. Rather than reduce teaching hours and give boys the space and time needed to exercise and blow off that energy, it instead became popular to medicate them to remove that energy and let them better "focus" (even though it just put them into a haze). Thus it became much more popular to diagnose boys with ADD and get them medicated rather than admit that our methods of schooling were disadvantageous to boys (after all, remember the narrative was that it was GIRLS who were left behind by schools and the patriarchy, not boys... yet the achievement gap between boys and girls with girls leading over boys began opening up back in the 90s and has only continued since).

Honestly that was happening WAY before the LGBTQ+ stuff. Look how long Twiggy and Kate Moss were the gold standard of western beauty. Twiggy especially looked like an androgynous boy.

I mean you've always had some stars advocate for the more conventional hourglass figure, lots of hip hop artists talked about liking big hips/butts, Kim Kardashian of all people brought some of that conventional beauty back when her butt pic went viral but mainstream culture itself has been anti femininity for quite a long time (heck in some ways the world has ALWAYS been anti femineity) at the risk of sounding like @Cherico this is another example of a society growing too decedent and forgets that a society is like a body. An eye cannot say to the hand "Because you are not like an eye I do not need you ' or more often, "I only need you to pick stuff up, you're useless otherwise." It's only when the hand stops functioning does the body realize "oh crap that hand could have done a variety of things, not just picking stuff up. I wish I hadn't cut it off."

women don't do all of this fashion and make up and all that other stuff for men they do it to style on other women and always have.

 

[LordsFire]

women don't do all of this fashion and make up and all that other stuff for men they do it to style on other women and always have.

No, they do it for both. How much any specific individual is doing it for one reason or the other depends on that individual.

and yet the overwhelming of movers and shakers in the fashion industry are gay men.

Which is absolutely an issue and explains a ton.

They do it for both yeah, but it's never men (well, straight men) who look to use the fact a woman is, gasp, reusing the same dress for two events in a row! as some sort of weapon or gotcha! against the wearer.

Women are their own worst enemies.
