    It is not transphobic for a straight male to not want to date a TIM. And trying to shame, pressure, bully anybody for that is beyond pathetic. Just focus on the people who do want you, and leave everyone else alone.

      Which form of EDS do you have? I have hypermobile type (hEDS), which is considered the least severe of the thirteen types. If you have Classic, Classic-like, Vascular, etc., then your symptoms will be much worse than mine. Also, not every presentation of the genes is the same. I've said multiple times in my videos that I have a mild presentation that went undiagnosed until I was in my fifties. My child, on the other hand, has a stronger presentation, and it was because of their symptoms that doctors looked at my medical history and my body and determined that I have hEDS. They are a wheelchair user and have much more pronounced presentation than mine. As for my diagnosis being real, I was diagnosed at one of the few Ehlers-Danlos Society-accredited clinics in the United States. If you think their diagnosis was wrong, you can take it up with them. I think you should be careful about gatekeeping who does or does not have EDS based on a single TH-cam video. I hope you are able to find some relief from your symptoms.

    I'm not obligated to have sex with anyone I don't want to, and I don't have to justify why I am or am not attracted to somebody. I love how the concept of "consent" goes right out the window when a trans person turns incel.

    • @addisonsagenda
      @addisonsagenda ปีที่แล้ว

      You like to make things up and pretend you've made a point, don't you? (That's called a strawman fallacy.) I don't think you even watched the video. I literally said that you shouldn't pretend to find a trans person attractive if you don't. It's one of the first things I said. Nothing I said would violate anyone's consent. As for your incel comment, that kind of comment exposes the weakness of the commenter, as does the strawman fallacy.

  • @george03991
    @george03991 ปีที่แล้ว

    People aren't necessarily transphobic if they choose not to date a transgender person. Some people want to have biological children and look for a partner who can contribute genetically. Calling everyone with this preference transphobic or delusional is unfair. Nowadays, expressing any opinion can lead to labels you don't agree with. In my view, people should be free to make their own choices as long as they don't cause significant harm.

    • @addisonsagenda
      @addisonsagenda ปีที่แล้ว

      This video is about dating, not procreation. Love and connection with another human being. In light of that, your argument is essentially that anyone who is unable to procreate is unworthy of love, regardless of sex or gender. That would include cisgender women who are older, have hormonal problems, were exposed to certain toxins or drugs, have a disorder like cervical mucus issues, Endometriosis, damage to the fallopian tubes, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, autoimmune disorders, connective tissue disorders, blood clotting disorders, uterine defects, blockage of the cervix, uterine fibroids, diabetes, or Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Ultimately, your argument becomes not only anti-trans but misogynistic because it reduces women to nothing but a biological function. I don't know if you meant to make this argument, but saying that only people "who can contribute genetically" are worthy of affection is deeply problematic.

      @@addisonsagenda "In light of that, your argument is essentially that anyone who is unable to procreate is unworthy of love, regardless of sex or gender." Interesting statement from someone calling another commentator here out for making use of strawmans. In general, it is very bizarre what you have read out of the comment above that is not even in it. You're definitely not building bridges and contributing to the acceptance of trans people in dating when you react this way to people who have a different perspective than you. You probably don't care either.

      @@addisonsagenda Your comment shows how you are ignorant 1) george03991 never claimed that people who are unable to procreate, are unworthy of love. 2) Dating can also include procreation, there are some people who wan't to date a women they to have children with them I mean if wanted to date somebody I would like to have children with them or else I don't wan't to date them. 3) no one reduces women on their biological functions again another misrepresentation of the actual argument and strawman, what he's saying is that some People want have a woman/man who can procreate, I mean by your logic wanting a woman or a man who can procreate means that almost all Humans who want children only reduce their partners to their biological functions which again is wrong since procreation is not THE one and only reason to date a person. 4) don't wanting a transwomen dosen't mean you're transphobic as long as you accept them, respect them and don't hate them, then you are not transphobic please be more honest and not dishonest. feel free to debate me on this topic whenever you like to a little side not here: I respect transwomen I see them as a women and I don't hate them but I mySELF wouldn't date them because I want children and someone who's cisgender but again that's only me so don't call me transphobic

    yeah, I think you're right, but it's not new with this show. Star Trek has always borrowed themes from sci-fi. Roddenberry used to hire legit sci-fi authors for some of his scripts. and I think that went on during TNG as well. I started watching over again from S1E1 and I don't remember it at all! I must have somehow missed the first episode last year. which is weird and awesome that I finally got to see it. and that S2 Rhapsody episode was unbelievable. I think it's the best episode in the history of the franchise.

    So if I as a woman have sex with my husband but refuse to blow him does that mean, I'm fellatio-phobic and he can demand that I give him a blow job because it is discrimination to exclude his penis in my mouth. So what if a white man says he would not date black women are you gonna force him to date women. He did say he would not be friends or associate with them. Dating does not have to be inclusive since that would mean eliminating being gay or heterosexual. Since you have to date anyone who demands you date the

I don't feel the need to have gender affirming surgeries, and I don't pass as a woman, but I still wear women's casual wear. Nothing too feminine, but I appear to be a mix of both male and female. I don't use or prefer any pronouns. It's whatever people see me as.

    Atypical means abnormal. Like everything spouted here, it's the same desperate talking points. At worst this ranges from social contagiant taking advantage of distressed people, and at best a mental illness. If you were born with 2 extra fingers, you would not disprove rule. There is no legitimate spectrum of fingers. Anymore than the binary reality represented throughout the entire body is discounted because of your desporia. Even now, you're trying to justify this along with plenty of others because you want to feel comfortable in your body. Unfortunately, all your doing is harming the rest of society by spreading self-destructive falsehoods.
