I think the reason you see so much transgenderism among the depressed autistic sunlight deprived skinnyfat computer programmer types, is relatively simple. Depression and autism are both strongly linked to chronic brain inflammation. Autism is a condition of a hypermasculine brain, a brain that is overaggressively pruning connections. Serotonin functions as an anti-inflammatory in the brain, especially when it binds to the h5t2 receptors, whereas inflammatory cytokines in the brain break down serotonin.
When you feel like other people like you and you can trust them and you enjoy being around them, that’s serotonin doing its job. It’s like this in all the animals, serotonin turns grasshoppers into locusts, give MDMA to octopuses and they start hanging out with each other. When you feel like you have a low status, when you feel like all the powerful and popular people in the world are against you, it tends to be because you just have very little serotonergic neurotransmission going on in your brain, which is often a consequence of brain inflammation.
Now let us look at estrogen and testosterone. Estrogen shuts down inflammation in the brain. Testosterone on the other hand, increases pro-inflammatory signaling. The brain is most sensitive to what it’s not used to. Males are not used to a lot of estrogen in their brains, the brain will be very sensitive to its anti-inflammatory effect. And with testosterone shut down, they will experience a reduction in brain inflammation from that too. So as a result, serotonin levels will return to normal.
So of course when they change their whole hormonal system, they suddenly feel better. This then becomes interpreted by society as evidence that the underlying idea (that some married guy with two children was actually just a woman trapped in a man’s body his whole life all along) is correct. In reality, what’s going on is more like this: They have brain inflammation, it depletes their serotonin levels, this makes them feel marginalized and miserable.
The other thing I feel like noting is that when you look at these guys, there’s one thing you’ll generally notice in the before photos: They’re not obese. Compared to the average American they look metabolically healthy, but depressed. Most Americans are fat. What does obesity do to a man’s body? Testosterone production is suppressed. Estrogen production goes up, as more testosterone is converted by aromatase into estrogen. I think you can look at obesity almost as a form of self-medication people engage in: People choose to be obese, to cope with the psychological stress of having a low social status.
Now the obvious question is where does all this brain inflammation come from. Well, there are a number of issues. The average person now has a spoonful of microplastics in their brain, levels are increasing about 50% every eight years. Inflammation is what the brain uses to get rid of tiny particles. There is also a new virus, SARS-COV-2, that is causing brain inflammation in people. And of course people are exposed to all sorts of endocrine disrupting chemicals, while still in their mother’s womb. Most important however: There is a huge amount of psychological stress in young people nowadays. Psychological stress causes brain inflammation.
So what about females? Females are not used to a lot of testosterone in their brain. Boost their level of testosterone and you will start to see all sorts of pattern changes in their neural architecture. They become more confident, both in their own sense of self-worth and their own view of how the world functions. They become less suggestible. With more testosterone in their brain, their glial cells are now just better able to eliminate connections the brain doesn’t want to have.
On reddit, there’s a subreddit called /r/ftmpunished. Here you can find a bunch of transgender girls, with big clitorises and hairy legs because they started injecting testosterone, fantasizing about the idea of a guy forcing them to be girls again. It’s extremely popular among the female to male transgenders. I think it is their subconscious animal-like part of the mind that realizes that something is very wrong and now it yearns for the external environment to correct it again.
You will wonder, why I look this stuff up. Well, I am just eager to understand the nature of suffering in this world and hopefully help bring an end to it. The transgender phenomenon is really popular now, especially among autists and girls who have been sexually abused. But it generally does not work for very long, when the boys start pretending to be girls and the girls start pretending to be boys, they still tend to end up very suicidal after a while.
I don’t really like arguing against the transgender phenomenon much, but I think it is necessary to do so, because when people embark on this path it just gets worse and worse. The girls end up with a fake penis made out of skin from their forearm, that has to be inflated with a pump, so they can have fake sex with their fake penis. There are levels of cruelty in this world, that I can just not ignore.
My recommendation to all these people, would be to just examine the nature of the self. This is what the Gautama Buddha recommended. Examine what you are closely and you will find nothing. Trace the source of your impulses, trace the source of your thoughts, you will only find nothingness. There is fundamentally no difference between you and the other sentient beings. They are all ultimately just you, in different bodies. It’s like the same person wearing a different uniform.
You have to make peace with the eventual prospect of death. I am not saying you should yearn for death, but you must accept that at any moment, your life could come to an end. Life itself continues however, in other sentient beings. And you have to understand, that people who abused you, like boys or adult men who raped you, will have to face suffering too, they will endure the karmic repercussions. They will inevitably endure great shame, in this life or after death. Humanity as a whole is beginning to endure intense suffering, because of all the cruelty committed against non-human animals.
The thing about young women is that when you push an idea on them, they’re just far more likely to accept it and much worse at resisting it than men or older women are. This is also why they always tell each other that they’re beautiful. Just expose a young woman to an idea and her brain adjusts to the idea. That’s also why rape is such a crime. When you treat a woman like she has no autonomy and no worth, she will integrate that idea into her view of the world. And the earlier in life it happened, the more catastrophic its impact.
But once a woman who has been raped and had her sense of self-worth shattered as a result becomes transgender, her self-confidence rises and she becomes more able to filter impulses from her environment in a manner similar to the way autistic men are able to. I have always been pretty much resistant to impulses from my environment. My parents bought me a big uncool backpack (Kipling) for school when I was 12 and when I realized it was the uncool backpack and everyone else switched to Eastpack I insisted on always wearing it.
The thing to understand about autism in guys is that it leads to neo-nazism, not so much because they hate Jews. No, autism just causes you as a man to embrace ideas that the crowd is hostile to. It causes you to perpetually choose the side of the underdog. This is the role that males are required to perform in any society: They are required to perpetually side with the underdog, because this is the only way to create and sustain diversity in the world.
This is also why people are only able to rally behind Trump, someone who is explicitly hostile and vengeful, as long as they are under the conviction that they are the low status group that’s rising up against powerful people who mistreated them. You can never have pretty young Hollywood celebrities support Trump, because they are very aware that they don’t have a low socioeconomic status. But if you’re ugly, if you’re poor, if you’re a redneck, if you have a low IQ, if your job is morally reprehensible (cryptocurrency, gambling, coal, animal husbandry), you will think of yourself as low status and you will rally behind a figure like Trump.
As a result, Trump supporters are also generally very eager to convince each other that they are the low status group, that they are the underdogs standing up against the powerful elite (aka some nameless bureaucrats working for USAID who fund some projects to try to make sure some fifteen year old girl in Africa doesn’t have to marry an adult man), rather than Carlos the Mexican who climbed over a fence thirty years ago and now spends his days harvesting vegetables for three dollars an hour and hiding from the ICE.
Here’s an example of what I mean:
This is how you strengthen the cohesion of your community, some prominent figure calls you garbage so you wear a garbage bag to the Trump rally and have the other cultists look at you, and feel like together you are this oppressed group of people. But the underlying reality of course is that you’re a skinny blonde white woman and a strong tall white man: In the eyes of all the 5 feet tall brownoids from Latin America and all the fat dykes voting for Clinton and all the skinnyfat low testosterone nerds on Reddit, YOU are the high status people. And deep down you know this, that’s why you’re confident enough to dress up in garbage bags and draw attention to yourself.
However, the real social pyramid looks a bit like this:
If you are a human being, who lives in the United States and has the right to vote, you are not truly low status. You can be brown, a woman, fat, low IQ, I don’t care. The illegals are low status. Prisoners are low status, whether they deserve it or not is another question.
Even autism is not truly low status anymore. All the normies know that you process the world differently. They see the size of your massive head. The normies know they live in a much simpler universe, where things have less meaning.
More than any other people, the Africans are low status. Their continent is becoming uninhabitable due to climate change and now the United States government decides to pull the plug out of 40% of global foreign aid. America supported the African anti-colonial movements to turn Europe into weak vassals for the American empire and ever since, the whole world has just decided to let Africans live in misery.
But more than any humans, animals are low status. The cows have their babies stolen from them, the chickens live in bodies that are bred to be deformed, the pigs have their bodies mutilated and they are stuck in gestation crates where they can not turn around.
As long as humans continue to abuse animals, our world will grow darker and more of us will die. The abuse of animals will stop eventually, but failing to stop it ourselves may result in the extinction of our species on this planet.
This part about obesity, brain inflammation, testosterone vs estrogen, and group trust is the exact kind of profound thinking that I have been following this blog for since 2018. As for the rest, I just hope your TDS simmers down soon enough.

Interesting connection with obesity, if that is true, then think of the impact that the tidal wave of GLP-1 drugs has done and will do to make the situation even worse.
Only about four percent of undocumented people in the U.S. work in agriculture. This makes sense, since only about 1 percent of the population works in agriculture. I think you have an image of undocumented people mostly toiling in fields, but that is not true at all. They mostly work in factories, transportation (Uber/Lyft), as home health aides, in construction, in restaurants, in warehouses, in beauty salons, in slaughterhouses. So they have the same sorts of jobs as the two Trump supporters in your photo. This is not to deny that their situation is very stressful and they are exploited because they have fewer legal rights, but it is also the case that they mostly have the same jobs as the rest of the population.
Virtually none of the millions of foreigners that have flooded across our southern border the past few years are picking crops, but that won’t stop RR from moaning about poor Carlos and his family.
God Emperor Trump is closing the border and putting an end to transgender insanity. Some people need to be prosecuted for the USAID criminal nonsense.
“God Emperor Trump”
THIS FUCKING BOOMER IS SHOUTING OUT IRONIC 4CHAN WARHAMMER 40k MEMES UNIRONICALLY! I CAN’T! THIS SHIT IS GETTING TOO RETARDED!
The internet leaking out into the real world was a mistake
The ACX book review of Two Arms and a Head gave me an unusual perspective on this entire topic and I subsequently found and enjoyed the book.
One of the thing the book asks is how people who are born paraplegic can have such happy lives when people who acquire paraplegia from horrific accidents are so unhappy, and it proposes the thought experiment that a being from a race of eight-limbed people who lost two of their arms and two of their legs would equally ask themselves how ordinary humans can avoid misery.
You are not supposed to feed the pigeons. Every time you do that you get 10 more. Soon they are everywhere, shitting germs on everything and crowding out the other birds. The very best thing that can happen in this world is for kind people to stop giving charity to black and brown people. You are causing them to have 14 babies per woman, in a world that is already drowning in the pollution of 8 billion people.
You claim that you love the planet and you don’t like to see animals harmed. You are a liar. You love forms of socialism that take away people’s work. That is not charity. It’s more like slavery. Only you like this form of slavery because you are forcing people you call *rich* to pay for the parasitic lifestyle of those you call helpless. You are not a good person. You should be wearing those garbage bags, and not ironically.
I agree fuck charity, the government needs to stop providing charity to low status white male lifestyles too. We need to end all subsidized farming, the meat and dairy industries get more than half their profits from corporate welfare. We must end this corporate welfare, and stop paying for low status white male dietary choices with taxpayer money. The consumers and producers will pay the full cost and this will cause meat and dairy to shoot up in price by three times according to my calculations.
We also must encourage transgenderism among the low status white male population, so we should encourage them to continue to drink baby cow growth hormone steroids that flood people’s brains with estrogen, making both girls and boys want to become trans. These low status white males should be forced to pay a premium for milk that makes them trans, and we’ll get them to do this by talking about aryan race theory and making milk a drink for high status white males in advertising and memes. We’ll own the meme culture so carnism as a dietary choice in the new free market will all dominate the minds of everyone as we tear down all the socialist state education centers. You will spend your life saving to continue to eat meat and drink milk, and that’s what you will do because you are enslaved to those foods forever.
These low status white male parasites think they can live in the world of the future, where only God Emperor like Lord Tiberius Donald Trump and his peers will live? You are parasites that consume more than you’re worth in the economy, and you should pay every cost, and the cost should always be determined by your billionaire masters. There should be no government institution to protect you. You must kneel before your God Emperor who eats McDonalds for every meal while snorting coke; you will be his eternal willing slave even as he drives you out of your home and destroys you. You stupid fucking braindead NPC cuck.
Seriously bro, have some compassion because the billionaires who are running things have none for any of us and you should be more worried about them than the innocent people who get by farming their own grains who die of malaria.
I also don’t have anything against trans people personally, but milk does influence hormone levels and a transition can also influence your hormones and this encourages people to self medicate from consuming dairy their whole lives by transitioning. Boys who already feel feminine due to too much estrogen want to to be even more feminine, and girls who feel too feminine due to excess estrogen want testosterone so they don’t have to suffer being hyper feminine creatures in a mechanical world where they’re expected to think like men anyway. Too much estrogen can also cause excess testosterone production in woman without even any hormone therapy, causing girls to grow mustaches and feel like men even if they’re not on any pills.
It doesn’t make sense to criticize, in the same article, capitalism (which you refer to as “pyramid scheme) and also cessation of its fruits (“pulling the plug of 40% of global foreign aid”). Either may be true, but you cannot rue both.
Stop with those fuggin’ drugs, Radagast, they’re making you mind into mush. You hear me?

… And he said: Let us make man to our image and likeness: and let him have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and the beasts, and the whole earth, and every creeping creature that moveth upon the earth. And God created man to his own image: to the image of God he created him: male and female he created them. And God blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and all living creatures that move upon the earth. And God said: Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed upon the earth, and all trees that have in themselves seed of their own kind, to be your meat: And to all beasts of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to all that move upon the earth, and wherein there is life, that they may have to feed upon. And it was so done.

My testosterone levels were on the lower end of normal prior to my transition. I know trans women who had testosterone levels well below the normal range prior to transitioning, too, as well as one whose testosterone was abnormally high. The people I’ve met who are trans, have been a broad range of weight levels, which bears itself out in the statistics as well. In truth, one of the reasons people lose weight prior to transitioning, is that when you start hormone replacement therapy, part of what changes your appearance is that the distribution of fat in your body and face shifts from a phenotypically male to a phenotypically female configuration, or vice versa. Thus, this aspect of the effects of HRT works more quickly and effectively when someone is at a lower BMI to begin with. Many trans people do extensive research on the effects of hormone replacement theory prior to beginning their transition, and will do whatever they can to make their final results as good as possible. In many cases, trans women will seek to lose weight prior to starting HRT, Though I’d argue that there would be no downside to simply starting hormones as soon as possible, even though as many doctors encourage them to lose weight first due to the heightened risk of blood clots that come from the oral ingestion of estradiol (due to the fact that it significantly raises estrone or E1 levels in the blood, and is one of several reasons why injecting estrogen in the better method overall as it bypasses the process which causes that). So they’re losing weight on purpose, but you wouldn’t know this because you don’t actually know much of anything about the lives of transgender people.
> So what about females? Females are not used to a lot of testosterone in their brain. Boost their level of testosterone and you will start to see all sorts of pattern changes in their neural architecture.

Hold on, idiot: FtM people also have elevated rates of autism. If everything you’ve said so far were true, and autism were connected to brain inflammation, with brain inflammation being shut down by estrogen, with this being the primary causal factor for why trans people feel the way they do, then FtMs would feel worse after they started hormone replacement theory and the inflammation in their brains increased, not better. In MtFs, you assumed that the brain inflammation thing had a greater impact than the positive effects of testosterone. You’re arguing the exact inverse here and you cannot have it both ways – and the argument that the brain is simply more receptive to what it is not accustomed to does not work here either, because statistically the vast, vast majority of transgender people are persistently happy with the results of their transition many years after they undertook it, which you would not expect to see if you were correct. The better and more accurate hypothesis here is that you are simply wrong, you’re being overly reductionist and that the phenomenon of transgederism is more complicated than something like, “muh serotonin, muh inflammation.”
In fact, if everything you wrote in the first several paragraphs were accurate and the only information necessary to understand the interaction between these facets of human physiology and psychology, the following statements could also be derived from them:
– You would expect MtF people who were obese to be less likely to experience gender dysphoria, because their obesity would shield them from the inflammatory effects of testosterone. We see zero evidence of this – the obesity rates of transgender women are not lower than the general population. Rather, trans women have a statistically higher BMI variance than the general population, with both more being underweight and more being overweight than average.
– You would expect women to have lower rates of depression than men, all other things being equal, since estrogen has this purported anti-inflammatory effect and depression is linked to inflammation. On the contrary, we see from numerous studies that depression is more prevalent in women than in men.
– You would expect, all other things being equal, for obesity to have a protective effect against depression, since the brain-inflammatory effect of testosterone would be suppressed by its higher rate of conversion into estrogen. We rather see that obesity is positively correlated with depression.
If your response to this is going to be along the lines of, “that’s not how the body works, it’s not that simple and there are many more variables at play than these dozen or so broad correlations that I’ve pulled out of my ass,” then I will simply point out that the exact same claim can be applied to your original hypothesis. Your thoughts, which rest on a lot of really questionable claims to begin with, also fail a basic logic check when compared to things we already know about human physiology. Moreover, the “extreme male brain” theory of autism, upon which much of your reasoning rests, is likewise dubious, and the pet theory of one researcher Simon Baron-Cohen. The work doesn’t actually say what you’re implying it does here (it’s less about actual gender and more about the extent to which brains are systematizing in how they think and perceive things), and to extrapolate it in this manner is irresponsible.

lmao sure dude. “I was just on reddit browsing FtM tranny porn because I’m actually a selfless, magnanimous bodhisattva who wants to understand the nature of suffering by repeatedly looking at this extremely obscure internet fetish material that I’ve managed to zero in on obsessively.”
In all seriousness though, I don’t buy that you are motivated here by an interest in reducing the suffering of anyone – you’re at the very least lying to yourself. I think you did this to reaffirm your existing feelings and to reinforce the notion in your mind that this group of people is something only to be pathologized and sexualized. I say this, because your first instinct was not to ask actual transgender people about their experiences. It wasn’t to go lurk in normal communities of trans people, or to ask people who actually know trans people as family members, friends, and so on about what they have to say. You went to reddit, which is already basically nothing but spambots as it is, and you looked up an obscure porn fetish board and decided to look at some admittedly very weird shit. I’d like you to understand that this is your problem, not the problem of the people you’re speaking about or of any transgender person out there. That your behaviour here, in looking up some super obscure porn and attempting to play armchair psychologist for people you’ve never met, is a reflection of you, not of some people you’ve never met and never will. My suggestion to you, if you’re interested in reducing suffering in the world, is that this is the wrong approach. Nor will doing this allow you to actually understand the people you’re attempting to research. It’s like if you were trying to understand black people, but to do so you look up interracial porn on reddit and decide, “this must be what the experiences of black people are like” or something. You’re being a clown.
I think you just don’t like trannies, you have an autistic obsession with neurotransmitters, and in every earthly problem you see a nail for the conceptual hammer you wield, believing that every human sociopsychological phenomenon can be reduced down to the concentrations of a handful of molecules in the brain. I’m sure many of your more low-IQ “readers” will laud this article, but it paints a worryingly autistic-psychopathic view of humanity which posits that we are nothing more than meatsuits defined by a handful of variables in the form of what concentrations of neurotransmitters we have in our brain, and that people can simply be changed to suit your preferences by ‘fixing’ these variables as though one were reprogramming a robot. I know that among the brain-damaged ‘last men’ who populate the world of the 21st century, the notion of allowing people to decide their own fates – that maybe the person who best knows best for someone, is themselves – is utterly alien: but nobody asked to have the direction of their lives paternalistically guided by you. If you truly sought to reduce suffering in the world, you would not dehumanize people, refuse to listen to their perspectives on how their own lives actually are or what their needs, hopes and dreams might be, especially on topics about which you personally know nothing; you would not seek to control them or suggest that we tell them what they can or cannot do with their own bodies. By taking this stance you do more harm for people than good, and nobody needs this type of “compassion”. Perhaps you should deal with your own mental health issues first, before seeking to “help” a group you don’t even appear to like or respect to begin with. My other advice to you, is that you should just admit that you simply feel like trannies are icky and at least spare yourself the indignity of attempting to disingenuously dress that opinion up in some false intellectual or logical justification.
> I don’t really like arguing against the transgender phenomenon much, but I think it is necessary to do so, because when people embark on this path it just gets worse and worse.

You make articles about this topic literally all the time, without even having a deep knowledge on the topic. I’m actually transgender, and you literally talk about transgenderism more than I do. I’ve already pointed out to you that this obsession is a sign of the same form of brainrot that happened to Elon Musk, the guy who you hate and think is so stupid, who happens to share your exact obsession with and disposition on this topic. If you actually looked up statistics on how many people who have transitioned feel it has improved their lives, the number is around 98%. This is because people generally don’t transition unless they have gender dysphoria. You yourself are, as I take it, a “depressed autistic sunlight deprived skinnyfat computer programmer type,” yet you have never once expressed a desire to live as a woman, because you do not have gender dysphoria, which is its own separate thing. There are a handful of counterexamples of people who later decided transitioning did not help them, like 2% of all cases, which get thrown around by people who have a specific agenda to push, but instead of actually looking at the statistics you have here stuck to the above story you repeatedly tell yourself, which you roughly reiterate in every article of this form that you have written on this site. If you want to stick to stories and anecdotes, you probably have never been closely acquainted a single trans person in your entire life, whereas I have known several dozen, and I can assure you every single one of them I’ve known has been glad they transitioned, but are at least slightly frustrated with how trans people are constantly misrepresented.
> My recommendation to all these people, would be to just examine the nature of the self. This is what the Gautama Buddha recommended. Examine what you are closely and you will find nothing.

They are all ultimately just you, in different bodies. It’s like the same person wearing a different uniform.
You’re wrong about this as well, Christ was far closer to the truth than the Buddha was. And we’re actually not all the same, even spiritually: we have individuated souls which transcend our singular lifetimes. And if you follow the Buddhist path, you’ll never find your way out of here because it provides no framework for leaving samsara – only for erasing any distinctions between yourself and the world by erasing the self, thereby erasing the prisoner rather than actually freeing them. That’s for another textwall, though. I don’t want to make this longer than it has to be.
This post makes sense on both transgenderism and metaphysics. I think people should be free to be whatever the fuck they want as-long as they’re not hurting good people and animals, and the stats do line up with gender transition making people who transition feel better so letting people do so is probably the right thing to do. There were native tribes where there were transgenders too, so it’s not a solely modern struggle.
If you don’t mind me asking what you think the source of your dysphoria came from Tryptie?
Count the number of transwomen who enjoy knitting or riding horses. Count the number of ciswomen who enjoy knitting or riding horses.
Count the number of transwomen who enjoy vaporizing DMT or playing procedural roguelikes. Now count the number of ciswomen who enjoy these things.
I call this “Radagast’s rule”: The interests of transwomen tend to resemble those, not just of men, but of high IQ men with hypermasculine personalities specifically, rather than the interests of typical women.
I’ve never seen anyone offer a good explanation for this, or how it fits the idea of transwomen as women born into a male body.
To me it appears more like a way of medicating the suffering caused by having a hypermasculine personality, which tends to result in social isolation.
There is also of course the autogynephile element. I understand that transgenders don’t like these ideas, because they inevitably lead to the idea of transgenderism as social contagion, which almost guarantees transphobia.
When guys really like a girl, they always think at some level: I wish I could be her. This is normal, it’s a logical consequence of someone having such immense power over you.
When I see how women lust over Jeffrey Dahmer, a part of me thinks: “Damn, I wish I was gay.” The human mind is just flexible like that.
That’s just how masculine desire works, it grows more intense as men age. We used to call these transvestites, but transgenderism gets people both the sexual euphoria of becoming what you desire and the neurological benefits of estrogen, so it has started growing more common, while transvestites are going the way
of the Dodo.
I’m not sure what the right way is to solve these things, but I don’t think altering people’s bodies would solve it, without all sorts of awful side effects.
I would say depressed nerds should just dress up like sexy goth chicks, but I don’t think this works. Rather, it just feeds the fetish, while confronting you with the reality that it doesn’t look convincing.
In the past, people tended to satiate this hunger by telling themselves it’s not a fetish, no, it’s just “comedy”.
The Monty Python guys took every opportunity to dress up like women. It’s pretty obvious in hindsight what was going on. Dutch comedians love to do it too.
Now the transgenders argue all this stuff is separate. But who really believes that? Transvestites, transgenderism, drag, comedians dressing up as women, femboys, “sissification”, it’s all part of the same umbrella, there’s no clear dividing line between any of these.
The handful which I know who struggled through (without surgery, good!) all had and have weird hobbies. Like trains. Or computers. Or history. The savage history with wars and empires. Now they wear dresses, are all thinner than most women and quiet happy.
Maybe this trans thing is like the pet 40+ women buy to have something to do. Transing means buying new cloths and finding new peers among many other time fillers. Sounds harsh, but they dont bother me. In the contrary, many shift slowly from the faux gauche to the nouvelle droite…
Hey again! I’m back.
The first thing that I’d say is that the hobbies you listed were not always associated with the genders that they presently are.
For instance, knitting used to be considered a ‘masculine’ thing to do, several centuries ago. In the middle ages, there were ‘knitting guilds’ which were primarily populated by men. This was before textiles became more machine-based: https://rovingcrafters.com/2015/06/17/knitting-for-a-living-the-medieval-knitting-guilds/. Lancers and knights, which were pretty much all men, used to ride on horseback. And as you’ve probably also heard, over a century ago the colour pink was considered more masculine and blue to be the more feminine colour, before they switched roles in the modern era. Often times, what we consider to be a ‘masculine’ or a ‘feminine’ activity is just a social convention that exists in the specific time period we were born into. It’s in some sense arbitrary, there is not some rule carved into the fabric of reality that dolls are for girls and cars are for men, or only boys are allowed to play with legos or whatever – you have just learned a bunch of memes from the world around you through osmosis over the course of your life and have now mistaken them for immutable facts.
As for why transwomen often act differently than their peers in the specific cultural context in which they were born, I would say it is because when they grew up as children, they were taught to act according to the gendered expectations and roles that society imposed on them. I’ve heard countless stories of trans women who naturally acted like women as little kids and basically had it beaten out of them by their parents at a young age until they figured out what was going on much later in life – that’s actually what happened to my best friend. And it causes a lot of problems for people, when they are not allowed to be themselves, or are forced into a role which is not right for them. But if you were to raise a girl as a boy for the first, say, 20 years of her life, you might not be surprised to find her interests are more similar to those of the guys around her, rather than her female peers who had more normal upbringings. But what your hobbies are don’t really say anything about what your gender is. If you think there have never been female warriors or that women did not take drugs in the historical past, or that men never partook in activities we presently consider ‘feminine,’ then I would argue that you simply have an extremely myopic view of both human history and the concept of gender.
> When guys really like a girl, they always think at some level: I wish I could be her. This is normal, it’s a logical consequence of someone having such immense power over you. When I see how women lust over Jeffrey Dahmer, a part of me thinks: “Damn, I wish I was gay.” The human mind is just flexible like that.
I think these might actually just be statements about you, specifically, dude. I find gender dysphoria to be really hard to explain to people who have never felt it, but was never something I experienced as a power thing or a sex thing. I didn’t want to be someone else, either; I wanted to be myself, but look like a woman. I wouldn’t have felt any differently about it even if I were isolated alone on a desert island: it’s independent of any social considerations.
And if you want my take on the Dahmer thing, it sounded like the female half of your self is attracted to psychopaths and you’ll probably want to figure out how you want to approach that at some point, the divine marriage is real and you’re in it right now. But that’s another issue for a different time.
>I’m not sure what the right way is to solve these things, but I don’t think altering people’s bodies would solve it, without all sorts of awful side effects.
What problem are you actually trying to solve here? That you, personally, don’t like something? All this is, is people having the freedom to make their own choices. If its because a few people regret transitioning, I could turn it around and point out that a tiny fraction of people who have taken psilocybe mushrooms have ended up with mind-shattering experiences to the extent that it completely ruined their lives afterwards. What if I said that people shouldn’t be allowed to take mushrooms, because a tiny fraction of people have had negative experiences from them, so some unrelated party like the government should intervene and prevent people from doing it at all? Besides the fact that its a super dumb way to approach life and that it violates the autonomy and rights of others when you interfere with their lives in this way, you would probably also note that we already tried this with the war on drugs, and that it was largely unenforceable. I would point out that people who transition, usually feel very strongly about it and that grey-market estrogen is super easy and cheap to make, so preventing people from transitioning would likewise be unenforceable.
I just attended a small religious reading group on zoom and at the social time at the end two deaths and two sick people in our church (which is very scattered, worldwide) were announced. It was a sudden death for two elderly people, and the two sick and hospitalized people both had swelling on the brain. So I wonder what is up; that is a lot more than usual, and the brain swellings are strange.

Everyone ignores me when I say this, but you want to have salvia divinorum, cannabis and psilocybe mushrooms in your house.
These are very good at reducing brain inflammation and you won’t know when you need it. Ivermectin is overhyped.
Not everyone ignores you. But most people can’t get salvia divinorum or psilocybe mushrooms, and I even have relatives who live in a state where all marijuana use, even medicinal, is a crime. I have loads of marijuana gummies on hand since my 100 y.o. father in law eats six a day; 60 mg. He is experiencing no cognitive decline whatsoever. I should rent him out as an advertisement. I think low dose methylene blue is likely to work, too,

P.S. Lying is even worse than vanity, but they are both vices.
Isn’t it funny how right wingers love trannies and therefore want to deny them these treatments, while leftoids want to use them for political gain and thus support these creepy medical procedures (indistinguishable from naked hatred)
