Ok, this is /lit/ Literature actually involves reading guys. Read this book, or just a chapter and come back to tell me what you think about it.

Don’t just give me your bullshit opinion. I guarantee you’ll sound stupid and this trans women has a better argument then the average anon here.

Kinda a transsexual manifesto. Explains medical history and an individuals experiences of being trans. Their thoughts on what it means to be trans and how society reacts to it. I don’t agree with all of her conclusions and wanted some other people to read through it and tell me what they think.

I read the first 2 chapters. The issues discussed are still more or less the norm in my mind but I will admit that I am not trans and do not admittedly care enough to keep going. This should not be interpreted in a malicious way, I do not mean it to be malicious but rather taken in a literal context. There are 2 biological sexes, male/female, and some statistical abnormalities known as intersexed individuals who have chromosome problems. The actual number of intersexed individuals who exist are not enough to account for the number of people who identify and they tend to seek medical treatments to align closer to one or the other, the number is so small I will continue with saying male and female. I fully recognize and understand that gender and gender norms are constructs. Identity is also a construct. So any individual who wishes to display different gender norms from their biological sex because they want to is more than welcome to do so, they are just constructs anyhow. The invention of all these different terms is just meaningless headache, identity is a construct. The individual is still presented with the same existential search for meaning that literally every other person is presented with and they are no different than anyone else, despite what they have convinced themselves of. I am not interested in passing any moral judgement either, they are the same as everyone else, otherwise they must start stipulating that the aforementioned concepts are not constructs, and this logic destroys their entire argument. Insofar as the largesse of the capitalist system has afforded some of these individuals to seek out medicinal options for distorting their biological sex I have no power over this. If an individual wants to spend the money to become distorted they are welcome to do so from my perspective with the same existential struggle that athletes who become dependent on steroids struggle with. When it comes to social recognition there is a different bar that must be passed. If a mtf or ftm wants to be socially recognized as whatever they see themselves to be in their mind then they must transition in such a way as to remove doubt and be able to fully pass as the opposite sex. If they spend the necessary amount of money to do this then they will likely not have to announce it. If they do not and are unable to cross this bar then they cannot be terribly mad that there is no social recognition. This is no different than being refused service at a gas station for trying to walk in naked. If social norms and mores change enough to where passable appearance is not required anymore then so be it, until such a time it is hard for me to interpret much of this as anything other than complaining. I do sympathize with the author in regards to feminists, they are colossal cunts, and transsexuals are automatically better than a feminist or any feminist for that matter.

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/trans-rights-biological-sex-gender-judith-butler.html

>What does this freedom look like in practice? Let anyone change their sex. Let anyone change their gender. Let anyone change their sex again. Let trans girls play sports, regardless of their sex status. If they excel, this means only that some girls are better at sports than others. Let people use the gender-segregated facilities of their choice; desegregate whenever possible. Do not out children to their parents. Do not force anyone to change their sex or their gender. Give everyone health care... That trans kids’ access to care will in most cases be mediated by parents or legal guardians is an inescapable fact of the way our society regards children, rightly or not. For now, parents must learn to treat their kids as what they are: human beings capable of freedom.

>If we are to recognize the rights of trans kids, we will also have to accept that, like us, they have a right to the hazards of their own free will. This does not mean shooting testosterone into every toddler who looks at a football. But if children are too young to consent to puberty blockers, then they are definitely too young to consent to puberty, which is a drastic biological upheaval in its own right.

There's a point to be made, but we also kind of need normal people to keep being born and cultivated. It's utilitarian, and slightly uncaring, but do you want human beings to keep existing, or not?
That's why raising a kid to be normal is more morally correct than raising one to be a troon. It serves an end, and the end is the continuation of the species.

I think that pretty much sums up the female perspective. The "chud" and the "tranny" are both just low value men that they want out of their spaces.

The only reason why I humor troons at all is to fuck with the feminists who created them in the first place. Transgenderism is the ultimate destination of declaring different social norms for men and women being totally arbitrary oppression. Instead of facing up to the consequences of their actions they just seethe with more man hating like the video you posted. As gross and retarded as trannies are they're much smaller and less important than the shithead feminists who have been shitting up the culture and have been hostile to me for no reason my entire life.

>She should keep writing, ascend to greatness and out of the victim role hellpit and the style will refine more

Women hate trannies, it's just that their social norms don't allow them to say it. They are raised to be polite and avoid conflict at any cost particularly if being impolite could hurt someone vulnerable.

You see, trannies have weaponized real women's maternal instincts by larping as vulnerable retards. Women won't bluntly tell them to fuck off because it would be like telling an obnoxious child with down's syndrome to fuck off. The whole debate is about whether or not it's okay to hurt the feelings of people with fucked up brains. Picture related, it's how naive women see tranners.

So I haven't read it but the description sounds whack.

>Serano shares her experiences and observations–both pre- and post-transition–to reveal the ways in which fear, suspicion, and dismissiveness toward femininity shape our societal attitudes toward trans women, as well as gender and sexuality as a whole

Yet the author looks like chris-chan and has stereotypical male interests like biology. Nobody is judging him for being too feminine, he's a weird delulu autogynephile who doesn't know the first thing about how genuinely feminine males get treated.

>The supremest moment in a woman's life, when her original nature, her natural desire manifests itself, is that in which her own sexual union takes place. She embraces the man passionately and presses him to her; it is the greatest joy of passivity, stronger even than the contented feeling of a hypnotised person, the desire of matter which has just been formed, and wishes to keep that form for ever. That is why a woman is so grateful to her possessor, even if the gratitude is limited to the moment, as in the case of prostitutes with no memory, or, if it lasts longer, as in the case of more highly differentiated women.
>This endless striving of the poor to attach themselves to riches, the altogether formless and therefore super-individual striving of the inarticulate to obtain form by contact, to keep it indefinitely and so gain an existence
>The meaning of woman is to be meaningless. She represents negation, the opposite pole from the Godhead, the other possibility of humanity. And so nothing is so despicable as a man become female, and such a person will be regarded as the supreme criminal even by himself.
>An old woman manifests once for all what woman really is. The beauty of woman, as may be experimentally proved, is only created by love of a man; a woman becomes more beautiful when a man loves her because she is passively responding to the will which is in her lover; however deep this may sound, it is only a matter of everyday experience.
>All the qualities of woman depend on her non-existence, on her want of character; because she has no true, permanent, but only a mortal life, in her character as the advocate of pairing she furthers the sexual part of life, and is fundamentally transformed by and susceptible to the man who has a physical influence over her

I searched Weininger's name in the text and there's nothing about him. Pretty disappointing desu because it really doesn't make sense to me how someone could write a book about such topics without reacting to him. He predicted the discovery of sex hormones 30 years before they were isolated, all through Kantian deduction. He was the first public intellectual to argue against sex assignment at birth. So much of how we look at masculinity and femininity as abstract philosophical concepts is downwind from his original conceptions. Except people have taken it into a Roman/latinized direction when he was more Greek/Christian, oriental in his sentiments but rhetorically aryan in his methods

The one thing that may be different about him is he's really writing a religious text, so much that he considered himself a failure at philosophy and became obsessed with becoming a 'Redeemer'. The real revelations are less in standard sociology and more in something like Ellul, as Ellul was influenced by him through Nikolai Berdyaev. The threats that Ellul warned of were first realized as the type of sex ego in an educated free populace that Ibsen farced. Ibsen, for Weininger, was the first person to hold a mirror to this growing sex narcissism. And to Weininger Ibsen and Kant were the same. Weininger was still fully committed to Kantism which the later existentialists all abandoned. He rivals a lot of the pan-psychism and Spinozists that dominated later 20th century existentialism after Kant got blamed for the world wars

Part of that is a correct observation, but only if you ignore all the positive traits women can have and the fact that being extremely forgiving of women's negative traits is the opposite of misogyny.
Men aren't generally criticized as feminine when they correctly apply compassion to understand, assist, and care for those around them, or for producing good art. Doing almost any job WELL is considered manly. It's just being weak and attention whoring and valuing appearance over substance that men get shit on for.
Considering femininity to be only "what's not acceptable for men" kind of shouts that it came from an intensely male perspective, no?

I don't think this is true, I think most people have witnessed men who were competent and amicable but were abused because they were naturally feminine. Even masculine men with those traits get called out for "feminine" behaviors like for ordering "sissy" drinks or having higher pitched voices.

Right but what I'm saying is one doesn't get picked on FOR competence in womanly arts (apart from blowjobs I guess), or FOR being amicable, but rather because one is weak or posesses some quality they could be embarrassed about (ie. easily picked on).
>because they were naturally feminine
I have to disagree with your framing here. Not being "good" at being masculine is not the same as being feminine. Having a high pitched voice is arguably more childish than masculine or feminine. Same preferring sweet flavor profiles and abhoring bitter or complex ones.

But either way, it's not as if women don't also pick on each other for "mannish" qualities all the time. I don't think being ugly is a masculine quality, but it's certainly unfeminine and they'll rail each other for it.

I don't agree with this either, there are many people who are perfectly comfortable with themselves who get picked on. If you walk the streets of New York you'll see gay people arguing with random strangers who called them a faggot all the time. There's no dearth of assertive people who are secure that aren't masculine.
>Not being "good" at being masculine is not the same as being feminine. Having a high pitched voice is arguably more childish than masculine or feminine.
I agree that not being masculine isn't the same as being feminine, but the examples I gave were referring to feminine men, or masculine men who have "feminine" behaviors without being feminine themselves. I think a high pitched voice is usually considered a feminine characteristic in men.
>But either way, it's not as if women don't also pick on each other for "mannish" qualities all the time.
It is true that women engage in it too, but men are far more extreme with it. There's entire cultures online like the manosphere that revolve around wanting to eliminate feminine behaviors in men and wanting to "toughen up" the population.

Alright let me try slicing this differently. Let's split male male-abusers into two groups: good faith and bad faith abusers.
The bad faith abusers are just run of the mill bullies. They don't actually have a strong perspective on what they don't like, they're just trying to get an advantage over whoever they think they can by attacking their identity. "You're a bad what-you-are" is always a clear line of attack. "You're gay" has been historically pretty easy too, you could pretty much count on the crowd to back you up on that one. Motivated reasoning being what it is, the bad faith bullies probably do eventually stitch together a narrative of why their directionless meanness makes, even though its real goal is just to increase their relative social standing or give them a rush of power.
The good faith abusers would have to begin some sincere inkling of what masculinity is and why it's important and only act in accordance with those beliefs to mete out what they sincerely see as justice. It's hard for me to imagine this is a majority, but I can't back that up, so who cares. These guys would generally have to have some reason in their narrative why it's bad (for men) to fail to be masculine. Maybe something utilitarian like pulling your own weight or maybe something aesthetic. If it's aesthetic it can't be feminity proper they hate or they would hate it in women as well. Not that aesthetes can't be mysoginist, they just can't find femininity itself ugly without also being gay. If it's utility, well then it's utility. I'd have to see the argument.
I may have lost sight of my point here, but I think I've sort of generalized my way to most of it's either not sincerely held, or pretty clearly not about seeing femininity as universally undesirable. It's mostly about a perceived vulnerability or a reaction to a "badly-formed" man.
>you'll see gay people arguing with random strangers who called them a faggot all the time..
To me personally, that doesn't sound that secure. Rude strangers opinions are beneath contempt, giving them attention is generally counterproductive.
>men are far more extreme
This is true all by itself. That said, men don't social-exclude as aggressively or make each other kill themselves quite as often. More violent, more aggressive, sure, but the core message if you criticize someone of being unmasculine is something like "become powerful, become threatening, grow immense and erase your shortcomings" Women's bullying is pure disgust, exclusion, and isolation. It can't build anybody up, and offers no avenues for survival. But women also are more capable of solidarity, at least in this past century or so. Most will at least pay lipservice to letting women be masculine, even while privately mocking each others large hands and quaking in fear that their neck will get too thick if they go near a weight machine.

>or pretty clearly not about seeing femininity as universally undesirable. It's mostly about a perceived vulnerability or a reaction to a "badly-formed" man.
I don't believe that femininity is universally undesirable, as do most people. There are desirable traits that are seen as feminine, but I do think that society overall values masculine traits more and men, based on a variety of factors, are only granted so much femininity before they start becoming punchlines.
>That said, men don't social-exclude as aggressively or make each other kill themselves quite as often.
I think this is just not true. Men are far more likely to commit suicide and also more likely to get bullied. I found this study, "An Observational Study of Bullying as a Contributing Factor in Youth Suicide in Toronto"
Ninety-four youth suicides were included in the study. The mean age was 16.8 years, and 70.2% were male. Bullying was present in 6 deaths (6.4%), and there were no deaths where online or cyberbullying was detected. Bullying was the only identified contributing factor in fewer than 5 deaths. The most common stressors identified were conflict with parents (21.3%), romantic partner problems (17.0%), academic problems (10.6%), and criminal and (or) legal problems (10.6%). Any stressor or mental and (or) physical illness was detected in 78.7% of cases. Depression was detected in 40.4% of cases.
Granted this study has its limitations, I think what you mentioned about men being more aggressive is a key factor, this would logically make them bigger bullies. I understand what you mean about the differences between men and women bullying, but I don't think bullying really has a core message. It's like what you said when you were defining two different types of abusers:
>The good faith abusers would have to begin some sincere inkling of what masculinity is and why it's important and only act in accordance with those beliefs to mete out what they sincerely see as justice. It's hard for me to imagine this is a majority, but I can't back that up, so who cares.
This kind of stuff is hard to substantiate, but I don't think anyone has any core message when they bully. It's also kind of absurd to say men don't exclude as much. Historically, men are perpetrators of genocide, war, and other things that are fundamentally meant to exclude or eradicate other groups.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying women are perfect people who don't also bully each other, but I think men do indeed treat each other worse, and I think our greater commitment to gender roles has a part in this.

Because it's a fetish for them. It's the reason they don't bother buying or encouraging companies to design feminine clothing that suits the male body and instead wearing women's clothing that looks comical on them. Even clothing like shirts and jeans where plenty of options exist for the male frame, they opt to buy shirts and jeans designed for a female body.

I think since that position is incompatible with what you're currently arguing, I must have been successful. I have issues with your current framing as well but that feels much more off topic so I'll bullet point how I see it
-Yes, men are more generally abused than women.
-This is because womens reproductive bottlenecking makes them intrinsically valuable whereas mens volatility and role as competition for scarce reproductive niches makes them intrinsically risky.
-Consequently, the average person regardless of sex or orientation is skeptical male value and indulgent to females, in an absolute sense (ie, right to live given that they already exist)
-The commitment to male gender roles is not the source of cruelty to men, it is the symptom. Men have to prove their worth and compete with each other. Men are more dangerous and less valuable until they prove otherwise. That's the survival calculation underpinning all of it.

>4chan itself played a pretty pivotal role in online presence of transgender people in the mid 2000's
people only posted traps so that you could call the other guy a faggot when he realized it was a guy with a dick

I think it's because feminism made the idea of being a man at all so undesirable, through a century or so of demonisation. Well done there, feminists. You mind raped the weaker members of the other gender in to self-hatred, and self-destruction, because you can't just be nice for five seconds.

ters dont dislike trannies because they're trannies, they dislike them because they're men

why ever agree with someone that hates you?
the terfs that hate trannies are the same one who hate all outgoing, gregarious men and wouldn't look even allow them to speak to them (unless they were born with Chad height or face)

Know your place then, I'm 6'3 and fucked tons of bitches, your entire worldview comes from jealousy. Try this: Get rich. Guess what? You could mog people on getting pussy if you were rich, dipshit. Fucking dork.

everyone on the entire planet is trying to "get rich" you fucking dorkass and none of it matters. Guess what, none gets to fuck any of these bitches unless they were born in a way the women want them to be born. Their entire worldview is just based around cock coming into their hole, nothing else.

If you aren't a midwit you don't need to read it to know what's in it. Imagine having to put in effort to "understand" an indoctrination diatribe that can be simply summed up by the laughter seeing the term "her penis" generates.
