Transaged: Real or Not ?

[Betoni]

Would a 5-year-old have all the necessary tools to define their gender, mental age and identity in a meaningful way, such as an adult would?

[Former Citizens of the Nimbus System]

Yeah there's a such thing as being transaged..... It's called a birthday. You know that thing that comes around once a year?

This is clearly not the matter being debated.

My point since you entirely missed it is that the only way this whole transaged bs exists is through birthdays. No one can be a six year old girl trapped in a 50 year old or whatever man's body. People who believe such nonsense are absolutely insane and should be locked away. The whole reason someone has come up with the whole "transaged" thing is because in this day and age of sjws, pc culture and thought policing has become acceptable. This should be stamped out. People who think this should be told they're wrong. It doesn't exist. You cannot be a six year old girl if you're a fifty year old man and you're clearly insane if you think you are.

What has our society came to for this shit to be actually debated?

(emphasis mine)
Literally nobody thinks this is socially acceptable. This is the fault of either serious mental issues that require therapy, or a really creepy extension of the already creepy daddy/little kink. "PC culture and thought policing" didn't cause this shit. It arose on its own.

[Herrebrugh]

i don't give a flying fuck holy shit get a hobby or something instead of crying about what other people think about themselves

Also interesting that people who claim that people they don't like are mentally ill then generally proceed to express contempt for them for that reason. Really goes to show what wholesome people we are dealing with here.

[Smernosh Smercova]

Transagers are absolutely real. Everyone should be allowed to express their identity in which ever way they choose.

Now I'm convinced that you're a troll.

[Torsiedelle]

So... does she mean she's always been six or like, does she mean she was born six years ago? And if so what was she before that?

Five....ty.

This is about as much BS as Trans Species or Trans Intelligence (last one I made up)

But what if I WANT to identify as someone with low IQ? Gibe moneys or you hate the dumb. *nods*


Okay, bantz aside, anyone who legit thinks they're "trans-age" is probably in need of mental help, unless it's some sort of over the top ageplay kink.

Well, even then...nah, I don't like kinkshaming...

[Community Values]

I don't think it's real, but it's their prerogative. As long as they realize that the law still holds them liable to contracts, I don't see the problem.

[Dread Lady Nathicana]

Time as we know it is not mutable. Thus, one cannot be a different age than they actually are, appearances due to genetic issues aside. The mental facilities, predilections, possible kinks or fetishes, or other contributing factors aren't really for us to sit and guess about. I'd suggest that the reasons may vary from person to person, and while some harmless roleplay or consensual fetish play is probably fine, someone truly believing they are not the age they are to the point of potential debilitation, or harm to others, probably ought to get looked at by someone who is in a position to actually help. There is also the concern of some using it as a crutch for pedophilia issues, though one would hope that isn't the prime reason, nor primary mindset of any who may be having problems with this.

This also doesn't have a goram thing to do with transgender issues, regardless of the similarity in terms, and it could very well be disingenuous to suggest that 'its the exact same thing'. It isn't, nor should one situation be used to excuse or explain or gain false sympathy for another - especially not when the first is a very real struggle for people who happen to be suffering on account.

'Course, that's just my opinion on it. Y'all can think as you like. *shrugs*

[Neutraligon]

Hmm. age is simply a number we place on people for how many times (approximately) the earth has traveled around the sun since they where born. It only has meaning in that people typically mentally and physically develop at around the same amount of time which has to do with how we ensure they are medically healthy. Since it has no meaning beyond that I am not sure what it would mean to be transage. Maybe a person who physically or mentally does not develop as the typical population does? I mean there are diseases that can cause you to age faster at least physically.

[Khalisako]

Hmmm, if science makes it possible to mutate into younger body, possibly even that of a child, I say go for it. I don't particularlly care what a person's reasoning is... tho, if it's ot make the booze go further, I'm 100% on board with that.

[Stormwrath]

Isn't this news relatively old though?

Eh, could just be me.

Ummm, no. Transgender is where I draw the line on the trans-anything thing.

Same.

[Neo Balka]

Why god, why.

[The first Galactic Republic]

Ok, I am going to be first to brave this.
Transgender = Completely fine.
"Transage" = Seek help.
There is a difference between the metaphorical "feeling younger", and being ridiculous/slightly odd.

Yep. Trans-racial is also bullshit.

I don't have strong feelings here so I'm neutral on this matter. Keeping that in mind, I wonder why people think this.

Gender is a social construct right? Race is a social construct right? Why is transgenderism fine but transracialism not okay?

There's documented biological and psychological causes for gender dysphoria. Racial dysphoria doesn't exist.

[The Empire of Pretantia]

Wasn't there a controversy a while back about a 60-year-old man identifying as a 10-year-old girl?

[Costa Fierro]

Just because you put the prefix "trans" in front of something related to age, sex or other social thing does not make that thing legitimate. Transsexuals/transgenders actually have some identity dissonance that has been scientifically proven and is therefore the only legitimate social thing that exists because we have scientific evidence of the existence of someone identifying as a man but born as a woman and vice versa. Anything else is just attention seeking bullshit and should not be legitimised.

Also I thought "transage" was something that paedophiles used to gain legitimacy for their sexual deviancy?

[Monarey]

Just like transgender & transrace it does not matter what you'd like to think you are. You are what you are.

[Arcturus Novus]

Except transgender people actually exist. The rest is likely a result of mental illness or simple attention-seeking nonsense.

Why the hell not! Kids are always told to be whatever they want! Shoot them up full of hormones/hormone blockers, make 'em fifty, and if they so much as protest, well then they're a bigot!
Get with the times folks!

All three are due to mental aberration or for attention.

[Costa Fierro]

Gender dysphoria has multiple explanations in different scientific fields, and the non-binary gender spectrum is pretty supported by science, which definitely doesn't say "there are two genders" and definitely doesn't say "there are two sexes".

The only thing that comes close to scientific support of the "non-binary spectrum" is that the brain itself is non-binary. And if gender is a social construct, then it has no base in science and therefore any claim that male, female or "non-binary" genders are "real" is wrong.

Or, perhaps one could argue that gender is arbitrarily designated based on the genitalia of a person, and because people at a subconscious level identify or fit in with their gender and engage in behaviour associated with their gender, then gender as a social construct applied to the genitalia and behaviours associated with the different sexes is binary and therefore non-binary genders also do not exist.
