    omg that email Destiny read around the 11 minute mark literally sounded like the exact things I say. For so many of us trans ppl we just want a cozy quiet and happy life. Being trans isn't an important part of our identity.. our work, our hobbies, skills, etc is where we find our identity. The split between the activists and trans ppl is something that frustrates so many trans ppl. glad the emailer mentioned shit like us being attacked and called shit like truscum, etc. despite us just wanting trans ppl to do the legwork to understand themselves and to get the best care possible medically while they transition. Especially since dysphoria really sucks.

      @goddess Bree that makes sense. Do you feel your “groups” (sorry not sure how else to say it) are less accepting of you than the general public? Everything I hear it seems that may be true and if so that is a huge hurdle probably.

    the BIGGEST winning point for trans activism is that we can now see these things from a scientific point of view with brain scans and new information in the medical field. To go and now decide anyone can be trans without any rhyme or reason just takes away all of that credibility.

    I live in mexico which is very conservative and I (as a very liberal guy for the standard of my surrounding) was always very open minded towards trans people because of their medical experience. I had the chance to study abroad in Europe and obviously the culture shock regarding these types of subjects was way too much. I remember i got into almost a fight with some other guy that was calling me transphobic for expressing my transmedicalist views. It just seemed really far fetched to me to accept the fact that someone can transition without a medical experience, i guess i just can’t consede to the fact that someone without disphoria would want to be a part of the most underprivileged groups out there

    • @ellewilliams5162
      @ellewilliams5162 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Gender dysphoria is an incongruence between your assigned gender/sex characteristics and your gender identity (sense of self in relation to gender/sex)
      Your identity doesn’t have to match your expression, it just has to be compatible. So social transition does work for some
      Dysphoria is more like a feeling such as anxiety and depression, and like those if it is severe enough it can be considered disorder

    • @Hayden_Cat
      @Hayden_Cat 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      These people want community and want to feel like they are doing something so speaking out for trans people makes them feel good and pretending they are trans gives them credibility and community.
      Since they hijacked what being trans is they don’t have to have any of the real terribleness of being trans like crippling dysphoria. They have to just change their pronouns (don’t even have to that really) and just say “I’m non-binary” then they are suddenly trans with out having to ever transition.
      I also noticed that a lot of these people are afab they will take on trans nby but still label themselves as lesbians yet they hate if you call them a women. Which makes me wonder if a large part of this is internalized misogyny. not wanting to be seen as women so you call yourself “trans” but they also hate men so they use “trans masc”

    I remember years ago hearing destiny talk about trans people, saying that transmedicalists are exclusionary. I was pretty transphobic for a long while just because my only interactions with any trans people were the most militant and belligerent activists at my school and online. All it took was meeting literally one person, to change my view. I still think trans people without disphoria aren't "real" trans people, it just seems like an attention grab, and an excuse to exert power over people

    • @Jared-tc1qt
      @Jared-tc1qt 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Huge attention grabs going on especially with young people. Just walk into a high school or middle school. You’d be shocked how a lot of them just follow the flavor of the day. It really ruins it for the true trans people and gay people.

    • @jajohnek
      @jajohnek 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      To me it can be more than that. Some people might look at what the society expects from them because of their gender and not like that at all. And then they notice there is this trans movement and so they think this is what it is about. It's not like they have the other experience to compare it with (the one with disphoria).
      And then there are definitely people who just want attention, but I think it's more that people took the term and started applying it to something else. But the something else is resonating with more people, as there aren't really that many trans people. Which sucks of course

      Not sure why Destiny (a cis guy) would refer to transmedicalists this way, unless maybe I misunderstood your comment? I guess I’d be considered “transmed” by a lot of extreme leftists just because of my opinions about dysphoria/xenogenders etc. I’m a trans man and I honestly think the community can be toxic can harmful. Trans people are shunned and essentially cancelled if they say anything outside of what is “acceptable”.

    • @ellewilliams5162
      @ellewilliams5162 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Not really, gender identity is just something we take for granted a lot amongst people who don’t experience an incongruence.
      Being trans means having a gender identity (sense of self in regards to sex/gender) that differs from the one you were assigned, gender dysphoria is having an incongruence with those things.
      When I went to the doctors with gender dysphoria I didn’t say I was trans, I said I had been experiencing gender dysphoria

  • @Zenweaponry
    @Zenweaponry 2 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    "Radicalized by these emails"
    You're not being radicalized towards anything when you consider a condition characterized by dysphoria to require dysphoria in order to have that condition. A = A and B = B, but B != A isn't radical. Maybe someone doesn't want to alleviate the dysphoria, but having it would be a necessary prerequisite for the trans condition. Remove it and you're left entirely with self-ID and you won't be able to meaningfully differentiate being trans from having a different personality or worldview, and that would trivialize the experience of trans people by lumping in dysphoric and non-dysphoric people into the same category. The obvious path to radicalization lies down the road of "there's no prerequisites to being trans".

    • @ellewilliams5162
      @ellewilliams5162 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I didn’t tell the doctor I was trans, I told them I had been experiencing dysphoria. These things are different. You don’t treat being trans, you treat an incongruence with your identity/assigned gender
      Being trans is having a gender different from the one you were assigned. These aren’t the same thing
      Also I’m both transexual and non binary, I get dysphoria from both aspects of this

      They can’t be trans and since they’re not trans and do not have dysphoria they just make up their own definition of what being trans is. Who knows why they do this. To be part of a minority? Feel control over their life? Feel special? Conservatives aren’t right since they’re dismissing all trans experience and just lump us together. They don’t have to, the information is out there but they’ve already made up their mind about us so it doesn’t matter.

      destiny prior argued that he himself doesnt really identify as male and assumed that people similar to him could exist that dont really feel inner turmoil over their genderidentity while still feeling they are the opposite gender somewhere within.
      now it seems like he switched to the more nuanced position that these kind of people are by a huge margin less likely to care enough about a transition to exist in any substantial number, and people falsely identifying as such harm the actual important trans discourse.

    I think the problem with basing trans-ness on dysphoria is that it's defining a condition by symptoms rather root cause, despite the root cause being available. While not perfectly analogous, it seems very similar to claiming Ben Carson isn't black because he hasn't been unfairly arrested enough or because he had too much wealth in his family growing up.
    Now admittedly, groups like the APA switching to the term "gender dysphoria" rather than "gender identity disorder" doesn't help, since that blurs the line between a related condition and its main symptom, and worse one most people don't know the meaning of. However, that's not going to be fixed to any benefit without much harder and more tenacious issues being fixed.

      So there are two bad things about being trans, which are separate: gender dysphoria, and transphobia. If we said that only trans people who have experienced transphobia are trans, or that rich trans people aren’t trans, or that trans people who had easy access to healthcare aren’t trans, that would be stupid (and sounds similar to the Ben Carson thing). But gender dysphoria, and wanting to medically transition, is a different thing, and is what makes someone actually trans. If you have someone who is fine with their body, doesn’t want to medically transition, but just likes to wear makeup and change their pronouns, that is so fundamentally different from someone who has dysphoria, hates their body, and wants to medically transition, that it isn’t at all the same thing.

Transsexuals and Transgender people are different, with the latest discourse people have conflated the two. the former deals with dysphoria and the like while the latter is more fitting to those that feel distress based on social input, not internal. These two are fundamentally different, and that's why people are getting angry about nonbinary people joining the conversations. Theres also a level of dysmorphia we ignore pertaining to either of these words, but, to answer your question in full. People who believe in trans medicalism (distinction between sex and gender) view these people as poisoning the well for positive discourse concerning "truetrans", i tend to agree since it basically allows the conservative talking point of "you chose this lifestyle" to actually be valid for a large swath of those claimants.

    I've never understood the "identifying as a gender". Like I am the collection of my life experiences and memories. Every time someone tells me something like identifying as a gender I feel like they took the equation A(life events)+B(being a gender)=C(identity) and turned it into B=C making it feel like they discount all of their life and memories and relate it all to being their gender. Then you get all the nature vs nurture debaters around the whole thing and it turns into a giant clusterfuck.
    I mean seriously though, I can recognize my life would be different if I were a girl, but there is no possible way to identify or understand how it would feel to actually be a girl or how it would have changed my life. This is almost the definition of delusional thinking, and it reminds me of listening my schizophrenic uncle.

      @@ellewilliams5162 None of that answers any of my questions. Are you implying that any time someone has these feelings of dysphoria that it is always valid?
      As for my sexuality, I thought I was straight until I had my first girlfriend, then I thought I was gay. Turns out I just don't really enjoy sex and my attraction to people was mainly based off feelings of insecurity. Was I straight, then gay, then asexual? Or is it more likely that I was always asexual and I used my experience gained through life and knowledge I gained to properly recognize that I was always asexual? The important part is that I could not only be taught about it. I had to experience life to know for sure, just as much as I had to eat broccoli to know I enjoy the taste. I don't know how to experience being a woman, or even how to experience being a man. The very basis of how those experiences are viewed rely on stereotypical assumptions about what a woman or man (as far as gender) can be, which I don't prescribe to.
      The schizophrenia remark is not to correlate the two, but to point out that a similarly sized population to the trans community also exists and is very vulnerable to delusional thinking. This makes separating the two important, otherwise you are risking severe harm to another population to potentially help your own. Are you suggesting that if it helps the trans community that you are willing to intentionally put into place systems that will hurt other communities? Including communities that are arguably in a worse spot than trans people such as schizophrenics?
      As for your own questions, I never said nor implied that straight is the only valid gender identity. The systems I am referring to could be using gender identity to get out of the draft, getting sent to a different prison, profiteering off others, or being used as a token for representation as a few examples.
      I can tell I am not delusional by confirming my thoughts and ideas against physical reality and using peer review for confirmation. So if I am delusional, it means that the rest of the world is delusional in the same way and therefore no one is. You just need to ask the right questions and do the right tests to verify accurately. If you can not ask questions or verify with tests, then the only option left is faith, which makes trans ideology no more factually sound than the holy spirit or ghosts.

      I know this is 2 years old but everything you said is exactly how I see it too. I've never heard good evidence for or "felt" gender identity. I'm a "cis" woman, but can't tell you what being a woman is like, only what being me is like. Every single person is a combination of masculine & feminine physical traits, behaviors, thoughts & feelings. It's up to you how to express yourself, but at the end of the day, you still have to pick one. If you're a grown adult & you still haven't figured out who or what you are that is a mental problem. I find it hilarious that females have a higher tendency to identify as nonbinary. Just goes to show how dimorphic we actually are. Trying to debunk the sex or gender binary is the biggest grasp at straws.
