In the trans community it's regularly said that transmedicalism is genocidal, that "medicalizing" is stigmatizing by saying there's a "correct" way to be trans and that's seeking medical care for gender dysphoria. This is all gatekeeping which is bad. You should be able to simply declare your wishes and receive what you want. Anything else is fascism and denies trans people to live as they wish. Because they all use transmedicalism as a slur and attack anyone who suggests it's a correct view (for instance, this is the traitorous position Brianna Wu generally takes) they react negatively to that the same way they react negatively to people suggesting therapy as the proper way to handle their mental illnesses. "Medicalization" is basically the same thing, especially because they're stupid. I would argue further that it raises a negative stigma because it implies that transness is something to be cured rather than something to be affirmed by everyone else at all times.

I think they're just a creepy transbian with a fetish for children.As I've said before, I normally would agree that lots of people use "autism" as a cover for what are just people with shitty personalities but I think Echos really qualifies. I don't think he's like super-autism but he clearly has overfixation on certain obsessions and an inability to correctly read social situations. That thread has some people talking about seeking autism diagnoses though and how now they're afraid to seek them. I imagine these are mostly just shitty people looking to acquire another badge of protection from criticism, especially for their anti-social behavior. ![]()

Plagiarize wrote:Even simply forcing trans children to 'rule out' other conditions before letting them access needed gender affirming care, when getting an autism screening involves a long wait is further intentional and cruel sabotage of positive outcomes.This post just highlights to me how confused and shambolic trans rhetoric has become. Here, Plagiarize writes a sentence around his asshole to his elbow to insinuate some vague but awful risk in this dynamic. He still wants to leverage urgency of the suddenly-shockingly-rare "...or they'll kill themselves!", but it's like new talking points went out in the past months that said "stop saying that, people are now realizing it sounds like a mental health issue ![]() But "trans me (now) or I'll kill myself" is the foundation of the entire modern trans rights platform. Like, if you take that plank out, then transition suddenly requires no special privileges or protections beyond what is already granted to any random on the street. ![]()

That the person has perfect knowledge that's superior to anyone else and therefore everyone has a duty to provide whatever they demand. Echos parroted the language perfectly, that it's an offense to say that the mentally ill don't have perfect understanding of everything and what they need above and beyond anyone including field experts and the entire field itself and maybe even the very concept of science as it's been known for effectively centuries. The suicide threats are just because that's generally the primary way to short circuit any questioning and have the "issue" handed off to someone else. And all the mental health professionals would throw out their guidelines to insist that trans people are so special and unique that in their case such threats mean the patients are perfect and it's everyone else who needs to make changes. Or else they really will kill themselves, even though we don't have any data that shows trans people are more prone to this than anyone else with mental illnesses. In fact we don't even have data period because it's been verboten to collect any data on anything involving this subject. The entire field is completely upside down with no evidence for anything because the claims themselves are simply untestable as the movement has spent all its time ensuring that it's unfalsifiable so people are forced to accept self-identification instead of anything that could "gatekeep" the movement from what it wants. Most people will give into emotional blackmail because they don't want to feel guilty if someone does kill themselves. So of course nobody was ever going to say "no, that's stupid and doesn't make any sense, you should get actual therapy." That's not what the person wants to hear so they're going to become difficult and maybe violent. And people are so fucking stupid that in order to be a good progressives they'll willingly spend time arguing that biology isn't real and that "feeling like a girl/boy" is a claim that not just makes sense but is empirically and unquestionably true simply by the fact that it's claimed by someone. It's exactly like creationism/intelligent design in that there's not even a compromise position that's acceptable to the movement other than the elimination of the truth for what they'd prefer only be said in hopes that somehow makes it true or at least means they never have to hear otherwise. And the rhetoric they use with each other is about ensuring nobody backs down from the most radical and extreme uncompromising position no matter how completely insane it is, it's almost literally "don't ask questions, just consume" such as this example from the last page: ![]() These absolutely are cult tactics. ![]() (6 hours ago)Nintex wrote: When they fight we will make it infinitely worse Speaking of... missannethrope, post: 139193742, member: 200427 wrote:https://bsky.app/profile/too-blue4u.bsky.social/post/3lnuxx74pm226 https://www.resetera.com/threads/people-are-posting-their-massive-import-charges-on-temu-thanks-to-trumps-tariffs.1175385/ ![]()

Ironically, the only thing Trump has the majority support:
Quote:Trump earns narrowly positive ratings on only one issue tested in the poll: his handling of issues related to gender identity and trans people. Overall, 51% approve of his handling of that matter, including 90% of Republicans, 48% of independents and 16% of Democrats. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/27/politics/approval-rating-trump-100-days/index.html ![]()

But obviously they are not going to stop because Trumps never backs down (without claiming victory). Trump cares deeply about how other people perceive him, so he is probably not thrilled that people still see him as clown. You better than everyone should know they are not going to backdown significantly until mid terms. If the admin wasn’t desperate to win the PR they would not zigzag so much with their message about the Salvadoran father. ![]() |
