Right-Wing Noise Regarding Trans Kids

Post Reply New Topic

Hi all. I just finished watching this video. It's pretty long and it contains swears, but you can still watch it if you have nothing better to do.

This video has gotten me thinking. I've noticed that "They're pushing LGBT crap on innocent children!" is one of the most common far-right talking points nowadays. It's a very easy way for them to stir up people emotionally because, of course, most people are naturally repulsed by the thought of pornographic content being shown to children. This is good. It's not healthy for children to be exposed to sexual content.

That being said, some people forget that being LGBT is not only about sexual intercourse.

Consider the Following: One of the most common media tropes is the "save the princess" trope. We usually don't think of that trope as being sexual. As such, it appears in movies and video games aimed at young children frequently. Imagine if the knight in shining armor turned out to be a butch lesbian. The far-right would probably consider that to be sexually perverse, even if no sexual intercourse or nudity was depicted on-screen.

That's one of the biggest double standards in our society. Anything with homosexual characters is considered inappropriate for children, even if no actual sexual intercourse is depicted. Meanwhile, depicting heterosexual characters in children's entertainment is permitted as long as no nudity or sexual intercourse is depicted.

This whole thing about trans kids has been blown out of proportion in a similar fashion. Some people are born with a male body, but feminine neurological structure. This is where trans women come from. Allowing young trans girls to transition is not pedophilic, as no sexual intercourse is occurring.

By the way, when I was a young boy, I thought that girls were weird and gross. If a child with male anatomy wants to self-identify as female, this is a definite sign that she is neurologically female. No boy is ever going to self-identify as female just because of some sort of "cultural Marxist fad".

I'm sick of all this right-wing noise about "children being forced to transition" or whatever. It's all a bunch of nothing.

Agree 110% with everything you just said.

I think it comes down to science - the right has a larger amygdaloid which makes them terrified or paranoid of everything they're unfamiliar with.

I'm tired of the right hating and lashing out at "the other," period.

Hopefully one day people can just be themselves without fearing that some extremist right winger is going to try to harass/assault/kill them for it. The levels they go to is very disturbing.

Although different, recently heard a news story about drag queens entertaining kids by reading them children stories. Apparently it triggered the right so much, they were planning on sending a neo-nazi group and the police presence had to be beefed up to protect the children from the antics of the far right.

Being informed about biological sex, I'm not bothered about transgenderism.

"Transgenderism" is just the new hill liberal and conservatives want to die on.

Come through, logic and rationality!! !

This site is the site that I use more than any other … but sometimes I go on 4chan's /pol/ board just to troll them. They deserve it, since that site is infested with literal white supremacists.

One line that the /pol/ people often use is "All this LGBT nonsense is Marxist! It came out of Marxism! This is communism!"

In other words, the /pol/ people have never read anything by Karl Marx. Read the Communist Manifesto and search for LGBT related words using Ctrl+F. You won't find any.

Some of the transphobia in our society is religious in origin, but a very large portion of it is also derived from anti-Semitism and conspiracy nuttery. In other words, don't be too sympathetic towards the anti-LGBT crowd.

the right wing fifth column in this country sees the LGBT repression in its benefactor [Russia] and wants that here also, to jam all of us hard back into the closet, and lock the door.

Its not far right to think children should not be allowed to under go hormone therapy or surgery. Having little boys dress up as drag queens and having them twerk in gay clubs is disgusting and immoral.

I hate people using children for political reasons even when its not vulgar like this.

I dressed in boy clothes and had short hair as a girl.

If girls can dress as boys, boys can dress as girls. Keep clutching your pearls over non-issues.
