OT "I'm Dealing With A Few Transgender Issues"

In an effort to appease the usual trolls (see above posts), I have spent some time updating myself on the "woke world of self-victimization"'s current as of 05/28/2022 but constantly morphing and mutating view of why everyone is evil and life is unbearable.

These are the sources I sought out today, and ironically, reading them in full clearly documents how the field of psychiatry acknowledges their opinions and diagnosis attempt to avoid reality when it may offend the patient seeking help.

Psychiatry.org - Gender Dysphoria Diagnosis
Psychiatry.org - Definitions of Gender, Sex, and Sexual Orientation and Pronoun Usage
Psychiatry.org - Search Results

I have edited my post accordingly.

I have bolded the rewritten parts.

 

I have little to add to what others have said, except that in the past Maris has said that most claims of rape are made up. Apparently only when the victim is pure enough for him, white by definition, and assailant Black or Latino, preferably immigrant, or these mythical bands of trans women assaulting girls I'm restrooms does he consider it not the invention of hysterical female.
Bad sentence structure, sorry.

 

I'm sure the Tiger King has internet access...he'd be all over that site

 

What photos others choose to view us not my business. I would rather see pics of cats and cakes. Would it be out of order to reveal I am making birthday cake for Nuraman?

 

It's really funny there's literally one person here who could be directly hurt by what MARIS61 has said (a post which, even in revision, I would classify as hate speech, but that's just my opinion of the post, not of the poster), so I guess it's no surprise it was deemed good and proper to reinstate it so that the poster could continue this discussion. I guess it's because it's very important to discuss various bigotries spouted by the members here as if they were gentle philosophical stands.

You can't argue with transphobia, homophobia, racism, religious zealotry, etc. Citing facts and gotchas from bible verses serve to make the centrist-leaning liberals who do this feel very special indeed, but they don't change minds. I tried the game, I tried to educate, tried being honest and forthright in the hopes that somebody would change. But change is not possible. Ironically, I can cite studies (I know there's been like, Wired or Atlantic articles about the psychology of obstinancy in ideology), but that too doesn't matter.

I'm reminded of a bartender I knew who told me about nazi bars. He said, "A nazi will come into a bar, and be the nicest, calmest motherfucker in the room, and this is on purpose so that you look unreasonable when you kick the fucker out immediately. But you have to kick him out immediately, or else the next time he comes in, he'll bring a friend, and then they'll bring friends the third time, and sooner or later, everyone else has stopped coming to your bar and your bar's a nazi bar."

You didn't seek to kick out the transphobes and homophobes and racists and misogynists when you established this place; when the OT forum started, you got a good fucking look at the kind of shit people really thought here, and you chose to do nothing about it, as if that were somehow noble. Now all the marginalized members of the forum are gone except for two, and the majority who are left have you by the balls. You can't even delete a post that is (in my opinion) Actual Hate Speech without putting it back as if that were the noble thing. Dear God what weakness.

Congratulations, your bar is a nazi bar now... metaphorically speaking, of course (I wouldn't dare offend anyone here, that would be bad, right?)

 

You posting my friend is a large part what keeps this from being a Nazi bar....

 

Sly, you are not a nazi, just like the bartender isn't a nazi in the nazi bar scenario. I truly didn't mean to imply you were,

I know, and you have mentioned before, about how hard your job is, and I respect that you thought it was best for someone directly involved in the subject (namely, me) to attempt to respond to MARIS's post.

But come on. You didn't even ask me if I wanted to respond, or if I'd even seen it! (I hadn't) Instead, you put a big post up, brought back his post, and then indirectly suggested I respond to it. Like it's my fucking problem your members write transphobic screeds?

I'll admit, I'm really hurt about this, and I'm talking about it publicly because everyone talks about me publicly in this thread so I might as well. But I'm not going anywhere. After the horseshit trying to convince ABM, I hope you understand that I'm not going to be as gung ho happy to try and re-educate every person who writes posts implying or outright stating that I'm mentally ill and dangerous.

Anyway I'm going to bed. I'm not leaving this forum, because that would be going easy on you lovely people.

 

I am NOT sorry Yam "feels this way". Because she is right.
Is it really a coincidence that Spud is gone, Dviss is gone, Eric is gone? Do you really want a board of straight white men plus HCP?
(Not saying this to call out HCP, just that if I say straight white men someone will point out there is still one Hispanic poster so....)

 

I would say HCP has been the (rather jocular) target of a metric fuckton of (rather jocular) racism on this site for years. I do not envy him the shit he's had to take, honestly.

 

I don't suppose the option exists to ban a forum member from the OT side of the forum, while leaving them access to the Blazers side of the forum.....?? And if someone is complaining to the Blazer front office because they are being banned or "ill treated" for bringing racist, homophobic or any other kind of behavior unacceptable in "polite" society to this forum, fuck 'em. The Blazers need to direct them to mental health resources......
