What is Egalitarianism?

[2nd EGALITARIAN FLAG MADE BY ME. IF YOU USE IT PLEASE CREDIT ME IN SOME WAY. ANYONE WHO IS EGALITARIAN CAN USE IT.]

What is Egalitarianism? Who are Egalitarians’? What are Egalitarian beliefs?

I’m here to answer all these questions and more in this post. Egalitarianism is constantly taken out of context, and slandered. I am here to clear things up So, that people who don’t know what it means or people who have been lied to about what it means can finally know the truth.

Egalitarianism is the doctrine that all people(Yes All People) should be and are equal. It means everyone deserves equal rights, equal opportunities, and equal respects.

Egalitarians’ believe all people despite their race, sexuality, gender/sex, age, reilgion, Etcetera, deserves to be equal in every sense.

Egalitarians’ do not hate anyone based off who they are born as. We believe that no matter what someone was born as, they deserve to be treated the same as their peers.

In Egalitarianism, No one is inferior, No one is superior.

Egalitarianism is Anti/Against:

Sexism (Misanderism and Misogyny),

LGBTphobia (People who hate; lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people)

Racism (Hate of someone for their race, Includes white people.)

Classism (Prejudice against or in favor of people belonging to a particular social class.)

Now many people try to say,“Well that’s just Feminism.”

It’s not, Here is why;

Feminism now-a-days (Modern Day Feminism) only care about women, or making women superior to their counterparts. The Radical Feminism and The Feminism movement is very Misanderist, and in a lot of cases very Transphobic. A lot of feminist, radical or not, blame female problems on men, or even just the world. A lot of feminist go out of their way to treat transgender people and men like inferior beings. The point of feminism is to treat women and men equally but, Its just turned into women hating men and transgender people. Yes, Not all feminist or radical feminist are like this, BUT, the mass majority I have seen and even met in person act this way.

Even if this isn’t what feminism definition means, this is what today’s modern feminism is portraying or even actively doing.

Egalitarianism is AGAINST Sexism and Transphobia in every way.

Misanderist and Misogynist are Sexist. Transgender people are valid. Egalitarians’ believe in the equality of every sex/gender and the equality of transgender individuals. No one is superior or inferior. No one is toxic or treated unfairly just because what genitals they have or genitals they do not want.

We just want everyone treated equally. We want nothing but, equality amongst humanity.

Don’t listen to the lies.

Updated Explanation of Secular Humanism.

What is Humanism? What do Humanist believe and support?

I’m going to be explaining humanism to the best of my ability. Let me know if this helped anyone. If you have any questions just send an ask and I will try my best to answer it.

—–

First things first. The Icon.

The “Happy Human” is an icon that has been adopted as an international symbol of secular humanism. Created by Dennis Barrington, the figure was the winning design in a competition arranged by Humanists UK in 1965.

Icon below:

Second, the Definiton.

Humanism is an outlook or system of thought attaching prime importance to humans rather than divine or supernatural matters.

Humanist beliefs stress the potential value and goodness of human beings, emphasize common human needs, and seek solely rational ways of solving human problems.

Humanists believe that human experience and rational thinking provide the only source of both knowledge and a moral code to live by. They reject the idea of knowledge ‘revealed’ to human beings by gods, or in special books.

Humanist do not believe in an existence of Gods’ or Deities. They believe what science has proven.

People who believe in Humanism are called Humanist. Remember, Humanism isn’t Atheism but, a lot of Atheist are Humanist.

In short, Humanist put human beings and other living things in the centre of their moral outlook. They see the world as a natrual place and look to science and reason to make sense of it. They promote and support human flourishing across all frontiers, and Champaign the human rights for everyone.

Secular Humanism is classed as a “religion” to most despite not believing or worshiping anything.

The term secular humanist is applied to someone who concentrates on human activities and possibilities, usually downplaying or denying the importance of God and a life after death.

Secular ethics is a branch of moral philosophy in which ethics is based solely on human faculties such as logic, empathy, reason or moral intuition, and not derived from supernatural revelation or guidance—the source of ethics in many religions.

Humanism supports the equality, and the equal rights or opportunities for everyone.

Anyone who is a Transmed/Truscum and/or Actually Gender Dysphoric can use these.

[to-be-deleted-soon-just-wait]

Anyone who is a Transmed/Truscum and/or Actually Grnder Dysphoric can use these.

[to-be-deleted-soon-just-wait]

Here are some helpful descriptions/definitions of some of the words I use a lot on this blog.

Cisgender: Someone who isn’t Transgender. Doesn’t experience Gender dysphoria. Someone who’s Brain sex is the same as their biological sex

Transgender: Someone who isn’t Cisgender. Experiences Gender dysphoria. Someone who’s Brain sex isn’t the same as their Biological sex.

Gender Dysphoria: is when you feel general discomfort, disconnection, distress with the gender you were ‘assigned’ at birth (born with; assigned in accordance to genitals). This only happens when someone is born with a Brain sex opposite of their biological sex.

Gender dysphoria can fluctuate from feeling little to nothing at all to all the way to despising your body and everything about it. It is required to be Transgender. Its a neurological & biological disorder or condition. It doesn’t mean pain or self-hate.

Brain Sex: Brain sex is the structural difference between male and female brains. The clinical term is “sexual dimorphism,” meaning brain structure size, number or density of neurons, etc. that separates male brains from female brains

Sex: is the biological part of your body I.e your genitalia, chromosomes, hormones, and other sex characteristics.

Gender: is a neurological part of your brain. “brain sex”- sexual differences between men and women in the brain- It’s more just a highly variable framework for how parts of the brain perceive itself and carry out certain tasks. Gender = Brain sex.

Trans-Trender(s): A person or people who either fake being transgender for the fun of it, or because they find it trendy or cool. Some Trenders aren’t aware they are Trenders because, they were misinformed about what gender dysphoria or even transgender means. Some Trenders just don’t know the definitions of things and then say they’re a certain thing because, of it. Overall, They hurt the real trans community and make us look bad/like a joke.

Gender Non-Conforming: Anyone can be GNC because, although Gender isn’t a social construct, Gender Roles are. Transgender people can be GNC as well. It just means you don’t conform to societies Gender role expectations.

[to-be-deleted-soon-just-wait]

Transmedicism Rant:

Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders- Fifth Addition, or the DSM-5 States that “GENDER is used to denote the public (and usually legally recognized) lived role as a boy or girl, man or woman, but, in contrast to certain social contructionist theories biological factors are seen as contributing, in interaction with social & psychological factors, to gender development.”

–

Couple things to note here.

1) Biology influences Gender.

2) Look at that nice little fuck you to the social sciences in their sentence.

3) “boy or girl” “man or woman” There’s only two genders, who would have guessed.

“But wait, what about "Gender Identity” ?“

Well the DSM-5 states; "GENDER IDENTITY is a category of social identity & refers to an individual’s identification as male, female, or some other category other than male or female.”

There you go Tucutes a nice label for y'all to use. “Gender Identity is a Social construct while Gender is a mix.” (Sarcasm)

So, why the fuck is this important?

This distinction is a real issue Now because, Tucutes & MOGAI are trying to pressure the American Psychiatric Association, or the APA to remove the Mental Illness label from Gender Dysphoria, and this isn’t because the condition doesn’t fit the definition of mental illness it’s because, of Tucutes/MOGAI putting their feelings before facts. Just in case anyone is confused. Mental Illness =/= (Doesn’t mean/equal) it’s made up, or pyschological. People suffer from cronic depression because, of a chemical imbalance in their brain, So despite the counter intuitive name, it doesn’t mean it’s made up.

So, the problem is by attempting to cement this idea that Gender is entirely social into the minds of the masses, they’re implying that anything under the label Transgender, Is Social. Except it’s NOT.

Gender Dysphoria is Biological.

Transgender doesn’t only mean “people that want to transition” i.e. ftm men & mtf women. Transgender is an incredibly broad label, that everyone has a somewhat different definition for.

The APA, the people who write the DSM & all of its additions, State;

“TRANSGENDER - the broad spectrum of individuals who transiently or permanetly identify with a gender different from their natal gender.”

So that includes people:

- With Gender Dysphoria

- Who are Gender Non-Conforming

- Who are “Genderq^eer”

- and all that other bs ( the MOGAI “genders”)

AND THAT’S THE PROBLEM.

We have evidence that Gender Dysphoria is a biological & neurological condition, but

we don’t yet have evidence that any of the MOGAI “genders” has any sort of biological basis.

In fact the Tucute/MOGAI community completely miss that point completely by CREATING their own distinction between Sex & Gender. So, that they don’t n e e d a biological basis.

My purpose in saying all this is that Gender Dysphoria should NOT be in the same category as MOGAI “genders” Gender Dysphoria has biological evidence. MOGAI “genders” do not. Gender Dysphoria is a mental disorder. MOGAI “genders” are not. Not a medical mental disorder at least. (lol.)

Having a biological & medical disorder lumped in with all that other stuff is creating too much fucking confusion.

And, Yes I said disorder. Because, if you were born with a condition, that you have no control over, that makes you ‘feel like you were born in the wrong body, or the wrong sex/gender’ & this feeling is so debilitating it causes you untold ammounts of stress, discomfort, and most the time depression, that’s a disorder. Mechanically that’s obviously not supposed to be the way the brain works, because if it was, humans would’ve never made it past prehistoric times.

“But, Alec, why is it so important that it retains the Mental Illness label? That just makes people feel bad?!?”

It’s important because it changes how the Medical Community treats the issue. As Blarie White once said, “ Why can’t we do both, though. That’s like saying, that um, you can simultaneously fight for people to be kind to Autistic people and also look for a cure. How about we do both. That’d be great. Because, actually insisting on this accepting people, and to just don’t worry about it because, “everything’s normal, everything’s fine”; It actually leads to political correctness, which leads to no research being put into a cure. Which exacerbates all the suffering.” (Her response to, “We can’t support trans people and a cure at the same time.)

I don’t agree that just because we don’t currently have such a miracle pill, or maybe even something close to that, that doesn’t mean we as a society should deny the Medical Reality and not continue research in that area. You’re arguing Secondary reasons when agreeing with this, Not Primary reasons. You’re arguing against the Medical illness label not necessarily because, on its face it shouldn’t be labled as such but, because of a precieved secondary effect of; Some people can justify being biggoted or can make individuals feel real bad. Which I understand, I get the dog whistle concern here. However, that’s not going to help medical treatment in the long run.

"But, Alec. There’s people who want to transition but, don’t have dysphoria!@?!!”

AND THAT IS WHY IT’S SO IMPORTANT TO SEPARATE GENDER DYSPHORIA FROM MOGAI “GENDERS”

Because, all the research on Transsexuals, (and for the record I’m going to start using the term Transsexual to refer to individuals who were born with Gender Dysphoria (a biolgical condition.) to distant it from the MOGAI “genders”. ) All the research we have are of people with Gender Dysphoria, Because the idea that there are even people who believe they were born the wrong sex/gender BUT, don’t have dysphoria is relatively NEW.

So, it hasn’t been studied. We don’t even know if it’s a biological condition or a pyschological one.

Unfortunately, We don’t yet have a biolgical/medical test to determine whether someone has gender dysphoria. We don’t yet have a biological way of measuring what someones innate Gender or “Gender Identity” is, or what ever the fuck MOGAI & Tucutes are calling it.

We do have evidence that it is indeed innate BUT, not a clear “let’s scan your Brain to see if you have Gender Dysphoria. That is, Biological Gender Dysphoria. NOT a pyschological issue that makes you think you’re transgender.

Another reason why the distiction needs to be made so clear.

People who have purely pyschological reasons for wanting to be the opposite gender ( or MOGAI "genders”) should NOT being using biological hormones & physical surgery. Those options should only be for people that have a biological & neurological condition. People who use feelings towards their gender do not have the ability to be transient ( to change )

“But, Alec. It sounds like you’re talking about Trans-Regret. That’s a tiny number of cases and a dog whistle for Transphobia!!?”

SHUT YOUR FUC–

Supposedly Trans-Regret is not common. I say supposedly because, I haven’t done research into that yet. Cause’ it’s not a direct correlation to what I am talking about now. Regret could be very low now but, as Blaire White once said, “ This is a very new phenomenon. There are no long term studies that show a person 30/40 years old, that had transitioned at 12/13 & how their life ended up. It’s just never happened, it’s all still very new.”

Because, until recently the stigma against transsexual people was so high that it would be very uncommon for someone who only has a pyschological complex to go through the transitioning process.

However, Because we are living in F U T U R E W O R L D O F 2019 society has become far more accepting of Transsexual people. Which is good and the way it should be, BUT it does also mean that it would be more likely for people who are only psychologically “trans” or Gender Non-Conforming, to be confused with people who have a biological & neurological condition.

The DSM and all it’s addtions are supposed to be a guide book to help doctors make a distinction between someone who actually has gender dysphoria someone who does not. Biological VS Physiological.

“ But, Alec. I just read the DSM’s criteria of Gender Dysphoria, and there is nothing specifically in it about making this distinction between biological VS pyschological???”

Yes, and that’s because psychiatry (APA) looks at stuff through primarily a biological lens. So, they are operating under assumption of if you don’t have a biological reason for something, then you don’t have it. Combine that with the fact that this current societal focus on understanding Transgender issues, is NEW, and the DSM-5 was written before that & this creates a problem. Since we don’t yet know how to create a definitive biological test, We can only rely on Self-Reporting & Observable behaviors. Which is why it is so problematic. Doctors have to somehow navigate this complicated maze to figure out whether someone actually has gender dysphoria or is just Gender Non-Conforming, or going through a phase/MOGAI “genders”. This is why Transsexual people feel like they have to go through so many hoops, and all this MOGAI stuff is only making the issue more confusing for everyone. Which means, you’re making it harder for doctors to figure this shit out. Which means, more hoops.

Now let me make myself clear I’m not blaming the Trans movement or even suggesting that it must go away because “tHeY’re cOnfUsIng tHe cHilDRen!1!!”

There’s no hidden dog whilstle in what I am saying, I am only stating what is the reality of the situation and Unfortunately because our society, until recently, has been very biggoted for years aginast certain individuals that don’t fit into specific gender roles, the Tucute Trans community is incredibly sensitive to anything that can even remotely be perceived as an attack. Which I understand. However, the problem is when ever people go under intensive physical treatment for a condition, it’s the Medical community and even society’s duty to make sure that an individual really requires that treatment because, having medical treatments that are either 'over prescribed’, or turned out horrible have littered our history from blood letting, to shock treatment, to even staring at the sun for health reasons, & we can’t forget about lobotomy. Even now, there are concerns of kids being over prescribed Adderall & Riddilen*, Which is basically speed. Not to mention all the people with pain killer addictions. Being prescribed things you don’t need can lead to messing with how your body and brain functions. That’s why its important, although difficult, to put our emotions aside when dealing with these medical issues to avoid the Medical pitfalls that we humans have fallen into time, & time again.

Or just take everything I just said as merely “a dog whilstle” for Transphobia because I’m actually “a hateful biggot.”

“Even if you’re not a Transphobe Alec, you keep making this distinction between biological and pyschological, Assuming doctors can even untangle these 'interlinked concepts’. Why should a person, who only has gender dysphoria psychologically not be allowed to Transition????”

Because, If your 'gender dysphoria’ is purely pyschological, that means that “Gender Dysphoria” you’re experiencing is a SYMPTOM of another problem. It’s not the problem itself. Allow me to give you a very over simplified example.

Lets look at Game of Thrones, Cersei Lannister, on several occasions has stated that she wishes she was born a male. Lets say there was some magic potion in G.O.T. that she could take to change her sex. You better believe she would drink it but, reason for this is not because, she has Gender Dysphoria. Its not because, she has some innate feeling of being born in the wrong body/gender/sex. The reason is because she exist in a world where her biological sex/gender limits her ability to get power. Which is her primary goal. So, her complex for not being a male is secondary, it’s a means to an end. The doctors evaluating whether or not someone has gender dysphoria needs to concentrate on making sure the underlying problem is that the person feels that they are born the wrong gender because, they simply are. Something biologically innate. Not that they were born the wrong gender, because they develop a negative pyschological complex about what means to be their birth gender, or a negitive pyschological complex about a specific body part that just so happens to be a body part realted to biological sex because, an issue like that is transient and can be revolved through other means.

“Fuck you Alec, that Game of Thrones expamle was shit. It’s far more complicated!!1!”

Yes, real life is more complicated.

So let me give you a more grounded example. While simultaneously criticizing the DSM & all of its additions. So far I have been seemingly deflating the DSM which maybe makes you believe that I think the DSM is some h o l y b o o k. The literal word from g o d. I don’t and it’s not. It has some very serious flaws in my opinion. One of those flaws is in the creitiera of gender dysphoria. Right now, and adolescent female could be going through puberty; the time her chest starts growing, & if you happen to be this female or simply talk to someone about their experience you will find that many of those individuals actually had a quite negative experience with it when they were adolescent.

One such story that has always stood out to me is when a friend told me about how she developed breasts when she was 13, and how incredibly disturbing and some times scary for her it was to see grown men lusting sexually after her even though she was only 13. At least to me, it doesn’t seem that out of the ordinary that someone in that position could develop a pyschological complex about their breasts.

In today’s confusing world they could incorrectly assume that complex is meaning you have some Gender related issue, possibly even gender dysphoria, & under the current DSM-5 criteria, someone in that position could be incorrectly diagnosed as someone having gender dysphoria.

In fact, I once read an article titled, “My daughter isn’t Transgender, She’s a TomBoy.”

The article describes how because, of all this confusion, This young 7 year old girl who is Gender Non-Conforming keeps being asked by teachers, her pediatrician, and even random adults who have known her for years, if she’s sure she’s not a boy. Now, this girl has a strong sense of self so she’s able to say, “ No, I not a boy. I’m just a girl who likes things that are typically male.” This is a happening because, of this confusion of Gender Dysphoria being compared to Gender Non-Conforming people &/or MOGAI “genders” and that’s because, we don’t have this clear distinction between Transsexual and Gender Non-Conforming people &/or MOGAI “genders”. My fear is that not only are we confusing the fuck out of adults with the incorrect conflation of these terms but also, confusing kids who may be simply gender non-conforming making them think they are Transsexual.

And as a last note; Perhaps it’s unfair for me to point this out but, I do find it somewhat ironic that the Tucute Trans community is fighting against the idea that the strict binary view of male and female gender by advocating a strict binary view of Sex & Gender.

End Rant.

Problems with the DSM-V:

1) The DSM-V is heavily criticized by the medical community for not using any scientific evidence to back up many of the things it says. It’s also just heavily criticized in general. This alone makes it an unreliable source as there isn’t any scientific evidence suggesting you don’t need gender dysphoria to be trans ergo the statement “ you don’t need Dysphoria” means nothing.

2) Psychology uses “transgender” as an umbrella term and has for a very, very long time. It includes trans people, transvestites, crossdressers, and other GNC people. Just because usage outside of the psychology field has shifted “transgender” to more mean “trans people” doesn’t mean that the psychology field has. This means that they’re likely speaking about their own term for what transgender is and seeing as how there’s no differentiation clarifying this, it’s ignorant to assume they’ve suddenly changed the meaning of one of their terms without stating as such.

3) Potentially most importantly, transgender/trans falls under the field of neurology/biology, not psychology. This means that while mental health professionals can certainly help us, it doesn’t mean they have all the answers and it doesn’t mean that their word is more important than that of the harder sciences involved.

Please share to spread awareness. I hope this helps someone.

All the research we have are of people with Gender Dysphoria, Because the idea that there are even people who believe they were born the wrong sex/gender BUT don’t have dysphoria is relatively NEW.

So, it hasn’t been studied. We don’t even know if it’s a biological condition or a pyschological one.

Unfortunately, We don’t yet have a biolgical/medical test to determine whether someone has gender dysphoria. We don’t yet have a biological way of measuring what someones innate Gender or 'Gender Identity’ is, or what ever the fuck MOGAI/Tucutes are calling it.

We do have evidence that it is indeed innate BUT not a clear “let’s scan your Brain to see if you have Gender Dysphoria. That is, Biological Gender Dysphoria. NOT a pyschological issue that makes you think you’re transgender.

Another reason why the distiction needs to be made so clear.

People who have purely pyschological reasons for wanting to be the opposite gender ( or MOGAI "genders”) should NOT being using biological hormones & physical surgery. Those options should only be for people that have a biological & neurological condition. People who use feelings towards their gender do not have the ability to be transient ( to change )

“But, Alec. It sounds like you’re talking about Trans-Regret. That’s a tiny number of cases and a dog whistle for Transphobia!!?”

SHUT YOUR FUC–

Supposedly Trans-Regret is not common. I say supposedly because, I haven’t done research into that yet. Cause’ it’s not a direct correlation to what I am talking about now. Regret could be very low now but, as Blaire White once said, “ This is a very new phenomenon. There are no long term studies that show a person 30/40 years old and transitioned at 12/13 & how their life ended up. It’s just never happened, it’s all still very new.”

Because until recently the stigma against transsexual people was so high that it would be very uncommon for someone who only has a pyschological complex to go through the transitioning process.

However, Because we are living in F U T U R E W O R L D O F 2019 society has become far more accepting of Transsexual people. Which is good and the way it should be, BUT it does also mean that it would be more likely for people who are only psychologically “trans” or Gender Non-Conforming, to be confused with people who have a biological & neurological condition.

The DSM and all it’s addtions are supposed to be a guide book to help doctors make a distinction between someone who actually has gender dysphoria someone who does not. Biological VS Pyschological.

“ But, Alec. I just read the DSM’s criteria of Gender Dysphoria, and there is nothing specifically in it about making this distinction between biological VS pyschological???”

Yes, and that’s because psychiatry (APA) looks at stuff through primarily a biological lens. So, they are operating under assumption of if you don’t have a biological reason for something, then you don’t have it. Combine that with the fact that this current societal focus on understanding Transgender issues, is NEW, and the DSM-5 was written before that & this creates a problem. Since we don’t yet know how to create a definitive biological test, We can only rely on Self-Reporting & Observable behaviors. Which is why it is so problematic. Doctors have to somehow navigate this complicated maze to figure out whether someone actually has gender dysphoria or is just Gender Non-Conforming, or going through a phase/MOGAI “genders”. This is why Transsexual people feel like they have to go through so many hoops, and all this MOGAI stuff is only making the issue more confusing for everyone. Which means, you’re making it harder for doctors to figure this shit out. Which means, more hoops.

Now let me make myself clear I’m not blaming the Trans movement or even suggesting that it must go away because “tHeY’re cOnfUsIng tHe cHilDRen!1!!”

There’s no hidden dog whilstle in what I am saying, I am only stating what is the reality of the situation and Unfortunately because our society, until recently, has been very biggoted for years aginast certain individuals that don’t fit into specific gender roles, the Tucute Trans community is incredibly sensitive to anything that can even remotely be perceived as an attack. Which I understand. However, the problem is when ever people go under intensive physical treatment for a condition, the Medical community and even society’s duty to make sure that an individual really requires that treatment, & having medical treatments that are either 'over prescribed’, or turned out horrible have littered our history from blood letting, to shock treatment, to even staring at the sun for health reasons, & we can’t forget about lobotomy. Even now, there are concerns of kids being over prescribed Adderall & Riddilen*, Which is basically speed. Not to mention all the people with pain killer addictions. Being prescribed things you don’t need can lead to messing with how your body and brain functions. That’s why its important, although difficult, to put our emotions aside when dealing with these medical issues to avoid the Medical pitfalls that we humans have fallen into time, & time again.

Or just take everything I just said as merely “a dog whilstle” for Transphobia because I’m actually “a hateful biggot.”

“Even if you’re not a Transphobe Alec, you keep making this distinction between biological and pyschological, Assuming doctors can even untangle these 'interlinked concepts’. Why should a person, who only has gender dysphoria pyschologically , not be allowed to Transition????”

Because, If your 'gender dysphoria’ is purely pyschological, that means that Gender Dysphoria is a SYMPTOM of another problem. It’s not the problem itself. Allow me to give you a very over simplified example.

Lets look at Game of Thrones, Cerasi* Lannister, on several occasions has stated that she wishes she was born a male, and lets say there was some magic potion in G.O.T. that she could take to change her sex, you better believe she would drink it. But, the reason for this is not because she has Gender Dysphoria, it’s not because She has some innate feeling of being born in the wrong body/gender/sex. The reason is because she exist in a world where her biological sex/gender limits her ability to get power. Which is her primary goal. So, her complex for not being a male is secondary, it’s a means to an end. The doctors evaluating whether or not someone has gender Dysphoria needs to concentrate on making sure the underlying problem is that the person feels that they are born the wrong gender because, they simply are. Something biologically innate. Not that they were born the wrong gender, because they develop a negative pyschological complex about what means to be their birth gender, or a negitive pyschological complex about a specific body part that just so happens to be a body part realted to biological sex; Because and issue like that is transient and can be revolved through other means.

“Fuck you Alec, that Game of Thrones expamle was shit. It’s far more complicated than that!!1!”

Yes, real life is more complicated. So let me give you a more grounded example. While simultaneously criticizing the DSM & all of its additions. So far I have been seemingly deflating the DSM which maybe makes you believe that I think the DSM is some h o l y b o o k, the literal word from g o d. I don’t and it’s not. It has some very serious flaws in my opinion.

One of those flaws is in the creitiera of gender dysphoria. Right now, and adolescent female could be going through puberty, and her chest starts growing, & if you happen to be this female or simply talk to someone (a female) about their experience you will find that many of those individuals actually had a quite negative experience with it when they were adolescent.

One such story that has always stood out to me is when a friend told me about how she developed breasts when she was 13, and how incredibly disturbing and some times scary for her it was to see grown men lusting sexually after her even though she was only 13. At least to me, it doesn’t seem that out of the ordinary that someone in that position could develop a pyschological complex about their breasts. In today’s confusing world they could incorrectly assume that complex is meaning you have some Gender related issue, possibly even gender dysphoria, & under the current DSM-5 criteria, someone in that position could be diagnosed as someone having gender dysphoria.

In fact, I once read an article titled, “My daughter isn’t Transgender, She’s a TomBoy.” The article describes how because, of all this confusion, This young 7 year old girl who is Gender Non-Conforming keeps being asked by teachers, her pediatrician, and even random adults who have known her for years, if she’s sure she’s not a boy. Now, this girl has a strong sense of self so she’s able to say, “ No, I not a boy. I’m just a girl who likes things typically male.” This is a happening because, of this confusion of Gender Dysphoria being compared to MOGAI “genders” or Gender Non-Comformity, because we don’t have this clear distinction between Transsexual and MOGAI “genders”.

My fear is that not only are we confusing the fuck out of adults with the incorrect conflation of these terms; But Also, confusing kids, who may be simply gender non-conforming yet think they are Transsexual.

And as a last note; Perhaps it’s unfair for me to point this out but, I do find it somewhat ironic that the Tucute Trans community is fighting against the idea that the strict binary view of male and female gender by advocating a strict binary view of Sex & Gender.

End rant.
