@Celeste is cool
okay i'm not going to comment on what you said specifically but you're coming off as underage to me because of the way you're typing. so like are you even old enough to be here
they way they worded it also implied they are a trans kid so yeah. i wonder if they actual have gender dysphoria or are just gaslighting themselves into believing it because there are a lot of trans people online and with how intense the trans movement is. like, i see lots of things that say "our trans family", so i can see how someone that wants attention or just that extra level of protection might try to convince themselves they're trans. there are also adults that will try to to convince a naive kid that because they are not fully masculine/feminine, they are trans, and therefore the kid gets gaslighted into having a false sense of gender dysphoria. of course, not every trans person isn't actually trans, but with how many trans people there are and how much the trans movement has intensified, some people believe they have it because they aren't fully feminine/masculine and want to be special.
anyway, that kid was most likely underaged. if they weren't they'd probably be a bit more civil or at least have better grammar and not make such wild assumptions at random. (i didn't read the whole thing of what they said, i just skimmed through it since, well, it's hard to take them seriously.) but i remember them making some claims that stray from your original comment.
thank you
but yeah probably. when i was around their [probable] age (which i'd say is 8-11) i didn't have any questions regarding my gender and still don't. of course just because i didn't experience it doesn't mean other people can't. what i mean is that i had no idea about gender dysphoria, therefore i never thought of questioning my gender. i think the idea of being trans should be explained better/introduced later so as to not cause false gender identities and have some children wish to change themselves completely only to regret it once they mature. i say support a child if they have it, because you never know, but never get something permanent done.
I feel the same way, but people in this community that desperately want people to know who and what they are want to put that onto children who aren’t mature enough to know exactly how they feel or what they want yet, it’s sad. But I guess we’re just supporting the diluting of the minds of children nowadays.
yeah. i feel like they should explain better how it works if they do it early, because if they don't explain well some children will doubt themselves because they are not fully feminine/masculine, and since that adult didn't clarify, they are left to their own.
also i think the idea that you have to be fully masculine/feminine to be "cis" and that only trans people can be ambiguous is stupid. i know that most likely, not every person thinks so, but that's the general idea i get from trans activists.
gender dysphoria is real but considering how many people say they're trans because:
a) they want special privileges/attention or to get away with something
b) got tricked into thinking they are due to miscommunication
c) gaslighting themselves unintentionally because they want to be special and because gender dysphoria/being trans is celebrated so much it's seen like some sort of achievement or accomplishment to be trans
makes it difficult for me to genuinely take a statement of dysphoria at face-value, which means i honestly always have a bit of skepticism around transgenderism.
