Well you see the normal children are just interfering gender identities. So really the normal must be some sort of mix of them all (maybe gender fluid?)
Kids are weirdos. I love it, we should encourage it. Kids love each other without seeing prejudice, I love watching my toddler play with other kids, they don't give a shit about gender or color.
Same, and I may feel a certain way about the kid as a cranky old man who hates kids, but I never let my son see this and encourage him to like everybody.
Aren't there conervative teachers too? Based on their anwser, just going off what the image tells me, there are two possibilities:
Yes -> Being trans is what the children want, after all they are presented with both options. Not presenting the option denies them happiness.
No -> Being 'woke' is what comes naturally with education. There must have been something like the first 'woke' teacher and all the other educated people where like 'Yes, he's right.'. Conservatives should just educate themselves.
That's one of those rage bait memes used to drive engagement. I realize I'm doing it now, but at least it's to point it out. It's essentially bot trash
The rhetoric that you can somehow make kids trans that would otherwise be cis just by exposing them to new ideas is getting extremely tiresome. Everyone should know that's not true by now. I'm convinced the people posting memes like this know they're full of shit and are just dog whistling that they disapprove of anyone different than them, a la homophobes talking about how gayness is "unnatural" when that's observably false in actual nature.
The rhetoric that you can somehow make kids trans that would otherwise be cis just by exposing them to new ideas is getting extremely tiresome.
Once kids are able to relate confused inarticulate feelings with coherent patterns of behavior, they can begin to conform.
Sometimes, that conformity means adapting their presentation and physiology to their new gender. Formerly cis-presenting kids transition under this model.
Other times it means internalizing their anxiety and closeting themselves to avoid social stigma. Cis-presenting kids delay and decline to transition under this model.
A Woke Teacher encourages the former while a Based Trad Teacher encourages the later.
She's definitely not in a good place. The people she preaches to are primed to think she's at best a pitiable freak and mentally ill for being what she is but she's addicted to being their pet trans woman because she's so keen to feel more somehow respectable than other trans people.
It doesn't seem like at all a healthy place to be.
you silly, don't you understand, someone "finding themselves" is actually just being lied to by big identity, that spiritual retreat that they had last week was probably a scam from even bigger identity.
/s because i haven't hit my quota for today.
also tiny rant, literally everything is fucking unnatural, go get dysentery, and die in a ditch from sepsis. THATS NATURAL.
An interesting observation from another source: since being straight and white is now the worst thing ever and we, especially the males, are now responsible for absolutely everything that goes wrong anywhere in the universe and everyone hates us for that, any kid unfortunate enough to find themselves in that predicament is going to identify as just about anything else in order to retain some degree of popularity.
The only one who feels that way is you. Even then I really don't think you actually believe that.
There's nothing wrong with being a straight white guy. I am one. The issue comes when you fail to recognize that gives you a huge advantage because you're seen as the default, perfect combination of traits in the eyes of many. You'll be treated better than others in some forums, on average, just for being you. People who hear that and then say "nuh uh, actually its the other way around because you people are fighting against the status quo. Also you're brainwashing kids by exposing them to viewpoints I disagree with." are the problem.
You should try it sometime, the amount of straight white guys that are outside is probably about the same as the amount of straight white guys that are alive right now.
Have you tried acting trans simply for popularity sake? I am genuinely curious if it's something you would be willing to try and ultimately what your take aways on the experience would be.
OMG. I'm old. To me there are just men and women. They can identify as gay, trans, queer, a shopping cart, whatever. I really don't give two shits, since it doesn't affect me and I don't hold any of these choices against anyone. I apologize if that makes me, uncaring, trans-phobic or in some way a horrible person. Clearly I'm ignorant of all of the nuances, for which I apologize again, but it's not like I'm looking to date anyone, hire anyone or in any way have any affect on the rights of anyone. I am in full support of gay marriage, drag shows and anything else anyone would like to do in a so-called free country as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.
My only point was that teachers are responsible for a lot of things and liable for a lot as well. I can't believe anyone would want to do that job anymore.
If I have, with this post, again offended anyone or once again gotten something wrong, please accept my heart felt, blanket apology. It was not my intention.
No but it has a bearing on it. If a trans woman is a woman that was born in a male body, and said trans woman finds herself falling for another woman (trans or otherwise), then surely she is a lesbian, as opposed to if she identified with her body which would make for a heterosexual relationship.
Or maybe we just throw out the whole idea of orientation altogether, (a) because stuff like the above is just too confusing, especially when extrapolated from this simple case into more complex identities and attractions, and (b) nobody cares anyway now that all orientations are considered equal.
I... Am really struggling to figure out if this is satire or an actual "meant" comment. I mean, they're taking lyrics and the logo from one of Pink Floyd's most famous albums; on the other hand they're invoking "woke" shibboleths in a weird way... Not knowing the context, who the Xitter user is and just looking at the image, it feels like something you'd create to poke fun at those who routinely chant, "woke" as if it's a bad thing...
Caitlyn Jenner is basically a right-wing token trans person that for some reason hates all other LGBT+ people... So if this is real then in all likely hood it unfortunately isn't satire
Ah, that's fair. My mind immediately goes to, "I wonder if this was originally satire, and is being distributed by someone to dim to realise it's satire", and now we're in a fully recursive deepening shit hole.
I mean, they’re taking lyrics and the logo from one of Pink Floyd’s most famous albums
Two albums—the bugger didn't even get that right. Another Brick In The Wall was from The Wall, not from The Dark Side Of The Moon. (And I'm not even that big of a Pink Floyd fan...)
The sex education they give kids here in Indiana is pathetic. I'm glad I don't have a problem talking to my kid about sex. Heaven forbid they cover things like contraception or consent.
Are we gonna find out in the next few years that Jenner had brain eating worms all along? I know Track and Field isn't normally associated with CTE, but maybe?
I look at this and think, it's almost right. If you reverse the direction, or simply see it flowing the other way (there's really no directionality on the image except for what's implied by the physics of light), trans kids go in... People who were born trans and trying to figure themselves out, push them through almost any system of oppression (schools, church, you name it), and out the other side comes "normal" (and deeply unhappy) kids.
Listened to Dark Side while watching Oz while high. Cut my dick off after. Didn't learn the word "trans" until a lot later. That's what Pink Floyd did to me!
If I have to say it, you're bad at internet sarcasm.
Ain’t this the girl that represented OJ in a previous life.
No. It’s not. It’s the woman who married the lady that used to be married to the guy that defended OJ. The guy who defended OJ is dead - Robert Kardashian.
Do you think that one demented teacher somewhere out there (maybe), who really does want to make cis-gender kids think they’re transgender, enjoys all the attention?
I guess he regrets going dickless and blames it on his teachers is the message? But teachers weren't woke in his day. I dunno what the message here even is.
