NationStates' Transgender Thread

[The Serbian Empire]

Yes.

So you think that transgender people are part of a conspiracy to destroy Western civilisation?

That sounds crazier than what I thought I was thinking "So why was I taking Mom's clothing for years?" for the first time. Then it took me a few years, a bunch of meditation, and a set of strange dreams to realize that I was a woman without the parts to be one.

[Ashkera]

Yes.

So you think that transgender people are part of a conspiracy to destroy Western civilisation?

I'm always puzzled by the idea that transgenders will lead to the downfall of Western civilization. Transgenderism (?) is really only prevalent in a small portion of the population, and seems mostly fixed on doing what is necessary to ensure trans folks' mental health (e.g., not falling into clinical depression). Similarly, LGB doesn't seem to be any sort of real threat. By the time population reduction starts to become an issue, we should be hitting the early Transhuman (not related to transgender) era and basic life-extension technologies.

Honestly, of the right-wing arguments about the downfall of western civilization, foreign religions seem more credible.
But that is a topic for another thread.

[Grenartia]

Wait, are you actually agreeing with that sentiment?


Much like Gren, I was simply dissatisfied with the binary. I remember in Grade 8, I began questioning my gender a great deal, but I couldn't decide whether I'd rather be a boy or a girl: sometimes I liked being a boy, other times I wished I were a girl, and mostly I just couldn't make up my mind. So I buried those feelings until they resurfaced about a year and a bit ago, when I discovered that there were people who didn't identify as male or as female, and I wondered, "Hey, I wonder if that could be me?"

Yes.

I should point out that "cultural Marxism" is a made up buzzword. A boogeyman, made to distract you.

[The Grey Wolf]

Yes.

We aren't?

Yes.

I think most people saying "cultural Marxist" don't know the difference between liberalism and Marxism.

[Vassenor]

You'd think that 48 hours after my last trip to the gym that the pain would stop.

You may be sore for a day or two more, Vassy. Move those muscles!

Usually the aches are more general and have tailed off within a day or so.

This time the pain is centred roughly where my right pectoral meets my shoulder joint. And still kind of hurts now, on Sunday morning, when I was in the gym last on Thursday.

[Val Halla]

Jeez, when I say down with the west, I'm only joking

[Vassenor]

I guess the fact that I was at an all male school probably explains why I only figured things out recently. Since I wasn't seeing anything to get tripped over.

With me, I reckon it must've been like where some animals change if they're kept with only the same gender

[The Serbian Empire]

The fact my mom is the only cisgender female in my house delayed my figuring out. As in... no sisters made it hard to figure out what was going on inside of me.

Just a note: Transgenders isn't the right term for us, it sounds like we're test subjects or something. Trans people sounds more friendly. Try and use that instead of 'transgenders'.

Hm. Do you think you might've pulled something? It might be prudent to see a doctor.

I know it's some sort of overexertion issue; I pushed myself too hard (harder than I had been pushing in my last regular workout in fact) after being off routine too long.

Well, I'm already the Patriarchy's 007, might as well join the plot to destroy the West too.

Hmm. That sucks. Still might be good to visit the GP.

Indeed, I sort of sound like a scientific experiment with my chosen first name also being a genus of snails.

Sure. I guess it's not quite like other terms, then.

[Val Halla]

Ugh. Now I can't stop eating

[The Serbian Empire]

Ugh. Now I can't stop eating

How much underweight are you again? I guess the fact you're eating this much will be good for you.

[Val Halla]

I am 20 pounds or so.

[KirbyFluffle]

Yes.

So you think that transgender people are part of a conspiracy to destroy Western civilisation?

Positive.
Only reasonable option.
Every transgender person is conspiring to take down Western civilization.

If you can't stop eating then that might reduce the weight issues a bit.

It will go to my stomach

I can't tell if you're being serious or sarcastic. I really can't tell.

HRT will eventually move it where you need it to go, Callie. You're 20% lighter than you should be.
