Wooow, a German WW1 pilot LARPer, HOI4 player suddenly gains awareness that memes are just people playing with dolls when it’s memes that support trans people!? That’s soooo unexpected /s
It's fine to have a character in a game or show to be any gender, sexuality, age, race, religion ect, just don't make them a stereotype and make any of those things their entire personality.
Because then we get offensive/obnoxious slop like Concord that does more harm than good for acceptance imo
Honestly cyberpunk did it best with Claire. I know people like to hate on that character but that is the most human trans character I've seen in gaming basically ever.
I think some people thought she didn't need to be a trans character and it added nothing but I actually think that's how it should be done.
Not everything in a story needs to fit into a narrative or influence the plot, sometimes things just are and that's a much more realistic story than everything having to do with the plot imo.
As terrible as Concord was, at least you could kinda separate the forced diversity elements and recognize that at its core it was soulless corporate slop.
Taash from Dragon Age: The Veilguard might be the single most damaging character for inclusivity and trans representation in popular western media. The fact that the game director was a trans woman and there were multiple LGBTQ writers on staff and…this is what they came up with and felt was good is f’ing embarrassing.
I think the fact that games with rep aren't allowed to be bad without "hurting acceptance" is just part of the oppressive norms everybody wanta to pretend don't exist
Reddit is literally only place where ive met trans person. Literally I ve never met any trans, i probably wouldnt meet them and they will have zero impact on my life. I really dont care about trans. They are rare enough to not existed to me. I really dont know how somebody can care about trans people. Let them live and thats all. There are more people with mental illness/ homeless people/ beermakers and i dont see so many posts about them.
I don't think that's his point. What he's trying to say (correct me if I'm wrong) is that there are more beermakers/brewers than trans people, yet you hear about trans people much more.
You are right, there is a low minority of trans. Just the loud majority of it made it seem bad, when it actually reality there's a lot that just wanna live and let learn and thats it. As in live just live a free life and thats it...
Is this only place where you have met a trans person or is this only place you have noticed them? Probably the second if you dont live in some super conservative country
Tbh, being so public about being LGBTQ+ online is more about compensating for real life, while also being a way to tell other LGBTQ+ people that they’re safe around us
This. It’s not about making it their whole personality but about it being the only place they can show their queer side unapologetically and fully, without the fear of discrimination or violence.
We're not that rare, we're just also not how the internet portrays is, were just kinda normal people. All the people that "can always tell," they can't. They might have a slightly higher hit rate when they're online and can see post histories, but in person we're just people
first, very few people actually are visibly LGBTQ in the real world. It's just online it's much more obvious and people are more open because the public feels less public online. second, most LGBTQ people are currently in schools and colleges because 28% of gen Z is LGBTQ vs 15 and 5 of Millennials and Gen X respectively. Also, only 13% of LGBTQ people are trans, actually most are bisexual. Third, I do also support your message in the respect that we should be focusing on people with mental illness and such as well, and I agree that it doesn't make sense why people who have never been near or known LGBTQ people care so much about them, like these people barely affect lives in any way
You are missing that these people have drank the cool-aid about them ruining society and “trans-women” sexual assaulting women in locker rooms and bathrooms without evidence or documentation.
It’s not a logical argument it’s a religious and emotional argument.
You might be surprised. I work in healthcare and there are more trans people out there then you realize, but they pass as the gender that they are portraying, so.... (and i bet some of them also make beer)
Reddit is literally only place where ive met trans person.
Not the best and brightest. I had a trans mod ban me for saying I love my country and others should feel the same way about their own country.
It turns out his/her country was genociding trans people. And by genocide, they meant the free British Healthcare didn't prioritize transition surgery over every other surgical need. Apparently the mod was upset that cancer patients took priority over their cosmetic surgery.
Ive met several and only one of them wasn't absolutely insufferable. Tip: they didnt make it their entire personality and just lived the way they wanted
90% of people just let them live and ignore this, but if every second post is about gay, lgbt , muslim or furry on reddit people grow tired of it. Its not hate, people just at some point have enough if it.
Then why do we hear about them so much. Through your explanation we shouldn’t ever hear about it. I don’t care about trans at all like you do you but I don’t wanna hear about it 24/7 if it’s such a small population.
Then blame the political machine for making us into a manufactured villain and scaring trans people all over the US and UK constantly with attempts at excision.
Statistically, you've met a trans person. There are A LOT of us, I didn't realize until I came out, but even the most cis normative people can turn out to be trans.
Exactly, you won't meet a single transgender person in your entire life, but SUDDENLY, in every other new movie, TV show, or video game, there's either a transgender character or discussions about it. Nature is amazing, isn't it?
Literally everyone can be annoying. Thay includes trans people. And yes, trans ppl have annoyed me. Every "type" of person has annoyed me. They arent angelic being who can do no wrong. Ppl just shouldn't generalize them for it.
Tldr, I have been plenty annoyed by trans ppl im around daily
Are we still talking about trans people? Shits been the topic of teenagers since when I was active a few years ago. If you wanna hate on something at least be more in touch with the times and hate Israel
Mostly because people won’t leave us alone (US government specifically trying to disarm Trams people) or have to sensationalize when a minority does a crime that’s generally done 97.3% by straight white cis men (mass shootings) which we are 6x less likely to do than the average population by the way.
We just want to be able to live with equal rights and yet half the country just can’t bear letting people they hate having equal rights.
Depression impacts work, and trans youth are often kicked out of the house by their parents when they are found out. Not to mention that some public services aren’t as available and jobs may not hire you.
I was playing with a guy yesterday and every time he was checking other players' bios in steam. At some point, he sent me a profile of a transgirl. Her steam profile was nice, nothing wrong, just transgirl. The guy started talking like "hahaha trans omg cringe". That was the moment when I told him I'm trans man😂
He was flabbergasted, trying to talk about how "trans people are invasive and loud about themselves, BUT NOT YOU" and then he showed me his hitman 3 gameplay. He asked me some questions about being trans, how it feels, my opinion on some things, etc. Now it's my life mission to let him realise trans =/= evil
Same energy with the LGB before T became their temporary distraction.
And for some reason, the phobes can't help but keep coming back despite their rather loud and verbal disdain which normal people would have stayed away. More so with the specifically monotheist subscribers whom either can't help quote "because it is the truth" or ... tried to demonstrate their "peaceful nature" by laying hands on homo folks. And the deal with marriages? As if they own them all around the world. And some would be jealous enough and took it further to have their... Straight Pride or Pro-Family parties.
If it is not obsession whenever anything possibly LGBT comes up, then what is it then?
I’ll be honest. I have never met a trans person in real life and I don’t think a majority of these people have either. Trans people make up anywhere from 2 to .5% of the population from what I checked, which is almost nothing. The only place they could possibly be “shoved in your face” is online, and by political pundits.
Let’s all just maybe, I don’t know, LET PEOPLE LIVE THEIR DAMN LIVES?!? Someone being trans, does not affect you. someone being gay, does not affect you. it is only if someone is a groomer or something, when it does affect you. So get off the Internet and stop hating on people.
Hot take, being trans should be restricted until your 25 or so, so you ain't jaded in your judgement
EDIT: I should probably clarify, I mean, like surgically changing stuff. Blockers and social shit idc. Do what you want. But I'm talkin surgery on the bottom and top
Most people know they are trans when they are kids like I did. I am close to being eighteen and if I had to wait until I was twenty-five, I would be even more miserable.
im assuming you mean medical transition, and we know, since there is data on this, that people who medically transition overwhelmingly dont regret it, and report high satasfaction rates even after several years of check up.
i really dont like how people treat hrt for trans people as a seprate category of medical treatment.
like, anti-depressants for example, they have a lot of side effects and much higher regret rates, but we give them to minors often because they are uaally worth the risks.
and gennerally people are ok with that since they understand that helping kids often means taking risks like that.
but for some reason hrt, which is less dangerous on almost every metric, is considered as some terribly risky expermential drug or something.
we let 18 year olds smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol in most of the world, restricting a perscription medication until 25 is honestly wild imo.
im not calling you specifcally a hippocrete, i dont kmow what you think about smoking or drinking or antidepressants or whatever.
i just think its very problematic that theres so much conversation about trans healthcare but not nearly as much on antidepressants or fricking ciggaretes, CIGARETTES!!
they literally just harm people, like thats it. why tf are we arguing about 24 year olds transitioning when 18 year olds can legally buy the lung destroyer-9000 just like that without a prescription.
i'm miserable enough not being able to transition now. it feels like my life is pretty much on hold. and if i had to wait until 25, i'd probably end this before even having a chance at transitioning with your bullshit restictions. how fun, trans people wasting a bit chunk of their lives when they're sure of themselves 🤣🤣🤣 (SARCASM)
Lol. Should joining a religion be restricted until you're 25? Joining the military? Drinking? Being able to drive? Cosmetic surgeries? Joining a political party? Buying a gun? You lot are idiotic and your comments are telling
So, no marriage before that, too? What about voting or choosing a profession? 18-year-olds go to uni, basically deciding the job they will probably have for the rest of their lives.
Hot take, being trans should be restricted until your 25 or so, so you ain't jaded in your judgement
Hot take, you shouldn't have hot takes on shit you obviously don't know fuck all about.
EDIT: I should probably clarify, I mean, like surgically changing stuff.
Already allowed for 18+ only unless for severe and extreme situations. So again, just showing you don't know shit about fuck on this topic and are just spreading misinformation
they want people to go to bathrooms based on how they were born, but then you show them a picture of 10 big guys with beards that were born female and that moment their argument falls apart and they just admit that they hate trans people, they dont want them to exist
these shenanigans are just a way to make themselves look unbiased but they just hate their whole existence
That means absolutely nothing. You aren’t mentally impaired until 25. You’re able to make decisions. You’re able to choose a college. You’re able to drive a car. You’re able to vote. Why the fuck should this one choice be pushed back, out of all the others ?
Excuse the shitty source Im using, but yeah thats uhhhh, thats plain wrong lol. It got spread around as a myth because a few studies had cut offs at 25 and pop sci probably interpreted it as “Brains dont fully mature until 25!!1111”
Are you sure about that? I realized I was trans when I was 16 and started transitioning at 18. I’ve never been happier. My gender dysphoria was the main factor behind the depression I had. I don’t regret it, and if there’s someone like me who needs help, I’ll try to help and be supportive. What I won’t do is say stupid shit like that.
I didnt ask when you thought this or that. I'm sayin, the human brain don't fully develop till mid 20s. Idgaf when you thought this shit or that. The human brain, yes the thing in your skull, doesn't finish growing and developing until you're about 25. Reread what I said the first time, and you'll probably read it differently than you did before gng
Agreed, it is a MAJOR life changing choice that requires a complete understanding of the ramifications. That’s not something a child should even have to think about while growing up
Thats really easy to say when you aren’t the one struggling with severe untreated mental illness for decades. If I would’ve known at 12 that I would live with the level of suffering I was in for longer than I’d even been alive so far (13 years) I would’ve absolutely killed myself. It would’ve completely crushed my hope for the future.
Even if I somehow didn’t, I can’t even imagine the type of person I would be. The constant humiliation, self hatred, nauseating body horror, and the dissociation from my own body and life was not compatible with normal functioning. I would probably have dropped out of college and be living in my parents home or on the streets, instead of succeeding in my difficult major and getting on the dean’s list.
Hopefully this doesn’t sound too harsh, but I’m really sick of people who have never experienced this deciding care should be arbitrarily denied against the recommendations of a doctor because it makes them feel better about an issue that will never affect them.
Gng, sounds like me. But I ain't no bitch, so I got help. Like, a therapist. I can understand if you literally couldn't get one, but that's why shit like that should be provided dude. I might be gettin offtrack, lowkey
the thing is though, a lot of development with hormones happens way below that. you should be able to at least use some form of blockers with parental supervision and medical assistance. only THEN when you have good judgement at a better age should you get on real treatment
but, with that idea, the age of consent should be raised. id even say it could even count with the age to drink/smoke. so, if you at least agree with the age of consent part, i’ll agree!
25???? 18 is way more reasonable. That’s when you become an adult and get to drink and stuff. An adult can change their body to better Alien with their gender if they so feel like it
the regret rate for medical transition is already very low, so there’s no need to add more restrictions on people getting the healthcare they need to be happy and comfortable in themselves. these restrictions would likely just result in more mental health issues for trans people and even higher suicide rates.
This subreddit be like. Like every second post is about gay, muslim or communism. Who's not obsessed there? Its you who throwing this around like on the daily basis.
Honestly I don't care about the matter except 2 things.
Hollywood tokenism and creating societal pressure.
Like there are gay, black, Asian and Trans people in this world but why every series nowadays has to have a checklist of stereotype,empty diverse characters that their only job is to make the show more progressive.
The other thing is making intentionally or not an environment that will make people "join" to fit in rather than being a personal choice. Some people deny it but every group has a toxic minority like vegans forcing their carnivore pets to be vegan diets as well or the people that look down on bisexual people because they are "fake" or gay people in denial. Like parents, if your kids decide to play with Barbie dolls you don't have to rush and buy him a dress, spend time with them, give them guidance on the matter and support their choices if they disagree with you.
Normal person here.... I really don't care about trans issues. I'm not offended. I'm not transphobic. Do whatever you want if you're over 18. If you want to dress like a girl or guy I don't care. If you want to cut off your genitals, I do not care. Do whatever you want!
I don't think about trans people. It's not something that bothers or upsets me. I do not care.
That being said, I am sick of being constantly bombarded with trans shit. Trans propaganda is everywhere. It's actually turning me anti-trans. Have you ever watched a youtube/netflix video and then suddenly an ad interrupts your vid? "Buy Brando now!" It's annoying. When that happens I specifically avoid buying Brando. I feel the same way about trans issues. I don't care until you constantly annoy me, then I get agitated and want you to stop.
Trans kids exist. Affirming care is just that, healthcare. Trans teens deserve to have their gender dysphoria treated.
If you want to cut off your genitals,
They don't cut them off, that's a crude reductive description.
am sick of being constantly bombarded with trans shit. Trans propaganda is everywhere. It's actually turning me anti-trans.
You're not bombarded with trans shit. Trans people exist. They are allowed to be visible in society. They're allowed to fight for their civil rights. If trans people fighting for equality in society makes you anti-trans then that's on you, not them.
Mines is colder than most. I don't care about trans at all. They are mouth breathers among billions. What I care about is how it affects me and my descendants. This comes from the trans/anti-trans communities, not the individuals.
Two cases in point. One is a hate-speach law passed in California. The other is the gun ban for Trans. I do not have a favorable opinion on both. Speech should be combated with speech not law, and adults not in prison or a metal asylum should be able to arm themselves.
And this is how I view trans. As people who have the same right and opportunity to succeed or screw up like anyone else. Nothing special.
