bumping for scaring the shit out of me when I was 10. Will add Night of the Living Dummy to that list. Also Curse of Camp Cold Lake but I hardly remember that one

>>16640842
Depends on what you mean. Isaac Asimov wrote a short story about the end result of unchecked population growth. Darkly terrifying to me in a depressing way. Some of Harry Crews novels, like a Feast of Snakes are almost too ugly to read. Even something like A Good Man is Hard to Find, though not usually thought of as such, I think is terrifying to really think about. To be caught in a scenario where your family is killed in front of you, in a mundane and matter of fact way.

Night of the Living Dummy didn't scare me too much since it was basically a watered down Child's Play, which I made the mistake of watching as a kid. Cold Lake is kinda spooky, but a lot of things don't make too much sense as an adult looking back on it. Why would someone make a summer camp in an area surrounded by a forest with tons of highly poisonous snakes?

Unexpectedly hostile of you. The idea is to start early so that the kid can be accepted as a member of the opposite gender equally early.
>I dressed how I wanted. If I had been able to come out I wouldn’t have made to dress as a boy and given the opportunity to take hormones at such an impressionable age.
Lots to unpack here but no one is taking hormones until they are at least pubescent and even then it is usually put off by a few years with blockers so everyone can make an informed choice. I don't believe you would have been mistaken as a transgender individual for being a tomboy or "forced" to dress one way or another. Transgender individuals I correspond with are very happy after their transition and have a variety of preferences for the opposite sex (ftm who still likes men for example)

Some reading so I don't have to explain everything:

The idea is to fuck with children’s head so that they can be more convincing, though no closer to ever “transitioning” in their lives.
It’s fucked in the head. If a boy is highly flamboyant, it’s just obvious he’s a homosexual, not a “woman trapped in a man’s body”

Look, I'm not going to deconvert you from being a TERF or whatever but maybe chill. The transgender people are not mentally ill or predators and they are certainly distinct from transvestites. No one is pumping that kid full of drugs, he just said he was a she and so everyone is going along with it until they decide otherwise or go through with transitioning.

I've known plenty of flamboyant straight men who were just raised with too many sisters and the disney channel, they behave nothing like transgender mtfs. I've known gay men that were bigger chads than I could ever dream of being. By your logic all tomboys are gay and that's not true either.

Yes, they will never be a complete biological female if that's what you mean, but medicine is advancing all the time. There are transgender persons who pass perfectly and live fulfilling lives. Your experience and their experience are distinct, Ms. Rowling, but they are closer to you in their needs and desires than they are to me.

I wanted to wear a torn pillow-case "skirt" to the grocery store when I was three. My mother told me, "No. People will think you're a girl." Thank God for my mother. Seriously. I would've humiliated myself. So fuck your kind of thinking. I didn't know shit when I was three. I'm glad I had someone like a PARENT looking out for me. I would've been a total crazy by now if it wasn't for someone teaching me. I mean I'm kind of crazy, but that's because I'm an alcoholic from my wife fucking around on me ten years ago. I don't care much about that, but I still love the booze. Or is it okay to be an alcoholic. I mean I like it so what's wrong with it? The problem is it is problematic and causes a lot of shit in my life. Just like if I had decided I wanted to be a girl at 3 and mother mother would encourage it. I'd be a tranny alcoholic. So I thank God I'm just an alcoholic.

More like the parents tricked the kid into thinking that biology isn't real and then they "let" the child become confused and "choose" to use language improperly. No child makes this choice unless they're goaded into this very skewed view.

A bit unusual, but "The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst.

I know Kissinger has done many bad things, and that his legacy will be mixed... but I envy him. He got to enact his vision of American foreign policy. He got to rub shoulders with the powerful and the wealthy. He gets to be honored by the elites of American society. His children and grandchildren will have their choice of Ivy university. His words carry weight. His books are sold and studied all over the world. I disagree with many things he's done, but I wish I could be like him, a powerful man the world listens to.

Really? If I was as powerful as Kissinger was in his prime, I'd focus American foreign education on:
1. Tackling global environmental issues (climate change, plastic pollution, etc.)
2.. Developing education systems in 3rd world countries (particularly girl's education)
3. Protecting American interests via cultural power (Promoting American media, books, games, TV, etc.)
