My hypothesis: in the present climate changing genders has become a socially acceptable and in general laudable means of avoiding intrinsic, deep seated emotional difficulties faced by people who are, I suspect, either severely traumatized, or narcotized by addiction to social media.
The process of “transitioning” is so intrinsically difficult that it can occupy one’s own attention for a considerable period of time, as well as one’s audience, where social media is concerned.
But the process has an end. You can get as far as you can get. Then all the feelings you were running from come back. You did not, in the end, escape, and by putting all your emotional eggs in that particular basket, you have created a dead end from which it seems there is no escape.
This is not true, of course, but I think that feeling leads to a lot of suicides. As I have no doubt commented, people who fully transition have something like 4x the suicide rate of our national average, which itself is absurdly high.
Emotional health always, I feel, starts where you are at. For any person at the end of that road, they simply have to remember who they were before. The sexual part is not the primary part. The feelings, the sensations, the images, and the thoughts that went with them: that is primary.
I truly feel left wing paranoia and compulsion is pushing a lot of good kids down dangerous and–for some of them–fatal paths, with no real compensating benefits. It is not wrong to point this out. Transgenders do not scare me. I am not phobic, to use the overused, and generally abused word.
I don’t like being yelled at, and I feel no compulsion to try and feel what I am told by lunatics to feel, or to think what deranged people want me to think. I think that is a simple enough position.
