If you mean that this issue should be restricted to psychological analysis then I would have to disagree with you. Psychology can only tell us how transgender people arise in a gendered society, how to go about treating them, and what symptoms are useful to diagnose transgenderism; it does not provide an analysis of the concept of gender and its relation to the individual, nor does it say how gender identity causes transgenderism. Only philosophy and sociology can do that.

Most trannies are incels that in their stupidity believe they have found an 'easy way out'. that's why 90% of their 'civil rights movement' is just them calling people bigots for not wanting to fuck their grotesque asses.

I'm trying to veer away from the psychological aspect and just focus on the sociological/philosophical. The psychology of transgenderism, while useful, cannot really provide an analysis of the wider issues relating to gender in society and how this produces transgender people. I also reject the notion that gender identity can be fully explained by sexuality alone. There is nothing inherently sexual about the colour blue vs the colour pink or playing with trucks vs playing with dolls or wearing jeans vs wearing skirts, yet all of these are gendered activities.

If you're referring to homosexual men who transition to more effectively get other men to penetrate their arse, then yes. The societal expectations of their at-birth gender role don't encourage that kind of behaviour.

As to why these sexual preferences of getting your arse railed, or autogynephilia, arise in people - I don't know.

I don't think this problem can be laid at the feet of modernity. Gender identity has been a pervasive theme throughout human society and the conceptions thereof have also differed throughout history. What is considered manly or womanly is subject to change depending on the cultural attitudes of a society and it's no surprise that some people may feel more like the opposite gender. I think chalking it down to sexuality and access to porn is far too simplistic.

Maybe the nobility of certain cultures had the males act a little more fruity than usual, but gender roles of the hard working man, being physically strong and confident, while the woman raises children, are a perennial gender role throughout history. The peasant class has always remained the same.

You can say shit like wearing dresses and kilts is equivalent to gender roles but I think anyone who is pragmatic looks at gender relations first and foremostly through the implication of child rearing and occupations. Modernity, however, has given us the luxury of ignoring child rearing (through increased material wealth, the introduction of contraceptives etc.)

This can backfire. I have some weird fetishes that are comparable to tranny autogynephilia in two respects:
1) I repress them because they're generally embarrassing, taboo, or demeaning to engage in.
2) Related to #1, but much more dangerously, they are hot precisely because they are actually demeaning and actually taboo. The more I ought to repress them, the hotter it would hypothetically be to say fuck it, give in, and hedonistically indulge them.

I think the tranny thing is comparable. It's basically a gay dude on poppers run amok, who wants to get fucked in the ass by a bear while screaming "Daddy!" at his little sister's violin recital. It's pure degeneracy, and the more degenerate it is the hotter the thought "But imagine if I actually did it for real?" becomes.

Sometimes simply ignoring a fetish like that for years can help. I think ultimately the best or only cure is preventative, meaning, don't spend ten years on the Internet diving into weirder and weirder porn versions of this sick shit in the first place. But when you already have the fetish, repressing it for months can make indulging it really tantalizing, almost like you repressed it solely so that you could build up your latent appreciation for it and indulge it all at once in an orgiastic frenzy. It's a weird dialectic of relapse.

There’s no philosophy, it’s just a conditional subculture (the condition being the containing society is understanding enough to tolerate said subculture) that (1) gets a lot of press because establishment liberals need a “marginalized group” to champion or they die, and (2) is “hip” with young people who want to piss their parents off

Not even trying to be derogatory, but “transgenders” pre-transgender movement are essentially all mentally ill/troubled people; this modern movement portrays these sick people as some kind of kitsch sidekick and gives them fifteen minutes to talk to middle America on Ellen Degeneres every other week

Well this is just a huge strawman. Transgender people don't think they are biologically the opposite sex.

Oswald Spengler unironically. He shows how the West is a very future oriented culture, unlike for example the Greeks. And how a culture perceives time is directly related to how it perceives the importance of women, because the childbearing woman is a symbol of the future. As such the West and ancient Egypt, the two cultures in history that are future thinking, value women the highest. Only in these two cultures do you get female rulers. Then as the culture transitions to civilization and the birth date begins to decline, the woman is no longer seen as a mother, and is elevated to the same status of man. The West is the future oriented culture par excellence, much more than Egypt, so our post-reproduction society has become hyper-feminized. We are slaves to the future. That's the reason males are so depressed nowadays, and why so many of them want to become women. As the birth rates goes down, trannies and gays go up.

Yeah I'd agree they exist but the penultimate expression of gender identity is dick and balls and vagine, as opposed to wearing a pink shirt and watching gilmore girls.

I was watching a kitchen sink drama set in the 60's a while back, this was before contraception and readily available abortion. The main character is hugely anxious of looking after his pregnant girlfriend and getting her a backstreet abortion. Fast forward today and these material circumstances which govern our relationships with the opposite sex are fast disappearing. The dangers and consequences of pregnancy are far reduced, and paid maternity leave allows women to be more "masculine" in choice of their career path.

The concept of traditional gender roles only makes sense when you need one sex to look after and produce children. Now it's easy to sexually gratify ourselves and avoid having kids. Without the repressive realities of children, sexuality will warp into interesting directions. Houellebecq's dystopian future of androgynous, aexually reproductive humans is the next step desu. Trannies are just an early expression of that.

quit it with the royal we proglet. imo the whole concept of gender roles was created by progressive managers and bureaucrats in order to justify their social engineering and break down the family unit and hence turn us all into hedonistic atomised aspiring middle managers. Sure, women should be free to have lots of consequence free promiscuity, to have lots of abortions, to run the corporate rat race and come home to a bottle of wine a pint of icecream, netflix and a bunch of cats (which is definitely not erzats substitutes for all the children they aborted). because why would they want anything else? if they think they do want anything else they are probably brainwashed by the patriarchy.

When you call somebody "man" or "woman" you don't do it in reference to their genitals or their chromosomes. You do it on the basis of how they present themselves and how you perceive them.

Sure, speaking broadly, genders are just a sets of traits, modes of behaviour, dispositions and attitudes that constitute a continuum more that a binary exclusive system i.e: men can also have feminine traits. see what's know as "effeminates men"

I actually do. I literally only see men, women, women who have OD'd on testosterone, and men who have foolishly taken lots of HRT.

Until surgery and medicine progresses to the point where trannies can accurately pass with 100% (even in producing fertilisable eggs) I will only see gender as dick and balls and vagine. If my gf can't produce a kid I'll feel way too awkward. That's not to say I would never fall in love with an infertile woman, but discovering your infertile is an extremely sad thing for both genders.

Well actually all categories, including sex, are social constructs. It's just that we agree that sex is a useful distinction and that the sexes are so far apart as to warrant different categories.
However there are some problems with the sex binary we have today. For example people with XX male syndrome are genetically female but phenotypically male and taxonimists still debate about whether they should be considered male or female. In fact people who's biology doesn't match the sex binary are about 1.7% of the population, which is about the same number as there are redheads.

Gender is a different thing though.

Not entirely sure I’m reading you right but this is what I meant by cognitive dissonance. You don’t feel you meet the expectations of your gender or the expectations of your gender don’t meet your personal expectations. Your personal identity isn’t some sacred thing, it’s a condition of the mind which is not inherently good.

There are two genders. Being a feminine male doesn’t make you a third gender, it makes you a feminine male. You can disguise yourself very convincingly as the opposite gender but it will always be your opposite gender. I’m not totally antitranny, for some people that’s just living their happiest natural life, it’s a problem though when we stop seeing the tranny as the victim of failure that they are and encourage it among others.

The idea that you can pick your gender and demand respect for it is considering it sacred. It is essentially a failure in your born quest of masculinity or femininity. I think it is a good thing to be kind to people, aside from protecting egos, so a tranny doesn’t inherently offend me. It’s the encouragement of them that is wrong, which is what I think you mean by understanding. It’s a very feminist belief that people should be encouraged systematically, and systematic encouragement actually holds back the genuine by promoting the whole. I believe it’s because of feminism that a man is the champion in every subject. It’s the same way how in the past undeserving men could often be raised up, though the male dominance was more out of their sheer power than systematic control, even today feminism depends on men’s support whereas men never needed female allies. Men and women have varied strengths and even if men possess more strength and intelligence on average we are a vast and radical species and a person of either gender is capable of surmounting. Sorry if that was a tangent, the point is trannies too suffer from degeneration from acceptance and the unnecessary degrading what it is to be them, though to be clear being a tranny is always unfortunate.

sickly love, brotherly love, unconditional love, cowardly love, geek love
a love that says relinquish judgment
a love that encourages acceptance at the expense of discernment
it's no wonder people have imagined that things have changed for the better

Demanding respect for a mode of being that doesn't do harm to others and that individuals don't choose is what you understand by sacred you're pretty lost.
A sacred thing is something that ought not be questioned and must be protected from profanity, something to be praised and respected for it's own inherent qualities and that it exists as a sort of alternative reality in our own reality.

You cannot honestly claim that the modern transgender movement is mostly interested in clothing and mannerisms.

Is your picture a woman or a tranny? Because if it’s the latter then I regret getting a quick one out.

some form of equity is probably the condition for any real freedom or self-determination

no one is pushing real equity but forms of institutional affirmative action (left-liberals) or formal equality (right-liberals)

you're problem seems to be Gesellschaft in general

Future is a weird place noble wolf.

Males and females are not really needed so they fall in love with themselves in a hermaphroditic hell hole.
People that say its a social construct I get it, it can be in many ways, but its so minuscule compared to the role in evolution adn biology.

I might sound dumb saying this but there i more than just benis going into bagina here.

Gender seems like a clever way of existing and being in the world and creating a sort of natural motion to propagate genes that we will still probably be using in some way, past when we are not the same as we are today. By that I don't mean simply AI or cyborg but whatever the fuck we might go.
If we get there I mean.

I probably made no sense. end rant

What really strikes me is that they give hormones to anyone asking for them, sounds like lunacy to me.

That number comes from a shitty book which included stuff like Klinefelter's syndrome as evidence of biology not matching sex binary.

The real number is like 1/1000

Can confirm, not an aspiring tranny but had thoughts of being a girl/submissive and ignoring sexual urges in the first place helps to get rid of all the fetishes. The literature of Theravada Buddhism was very useful: they’ve explored the team of voluntary celibacy for thousand of years.
