Alright, /lit/, I wanna try something out. I did it on /fit/ about a year ago, but since then this has become my main board.

It's a census, filled with some questions about your literature preferences and your life in general. After a good sample size I'll shut off the survey and make a bunch of graphs.

We always generalize and say "/lit/ is so x or y" and I think it's time to figure out exactly what this community is made up of.

When recording your favorite writer/philosopher, please only use their last name.

But for what purpose? It is completely superficial. If someone "feels" like a girl on the inside then good for them.

The only argument I could be convinced by is if substantial brain studies showed a major difference between male and female brains and then someone wanted to change their brain to one or the other.
But that too seems pointless, because aren't trans people already saying they have the brain of the other gender?

It all comes down to appearance with that trans stuff.
If a male feels like a girl; fine.
If a male is gay; fine.
If a male acts like a girl; fine

Someone should just try to be an individual and try to focus on become a person they want to be on the inside. Looks will fade (have you ever seen old trannies?).

Beyond trying to be healthy and clean, obsessing over appearance is a sign of a weak and boring person. This is purely a personal view, but it is how I see trans people.

This is seriously one of greatest advices I've ever received and I hope you take it positively: always ask, when it comes to relationships, what kind of person you're to attract that kind of woman/man that you find yourself with. It's a productive introspection, and you can avoid a lot of waste of energy on things you can't change.

Do you live your life constantly thinking about being male? "Oh yeah, time to go to the men's bathroom, I feel so good. That guy just used 'he' to refer to me, so nice."

I don't doubt that someone could obsess over those things and I'm saying I think people how do are shallow, uninteresting people.
If someone's life has got to the point where they care so much about their gender that they would become trans, then they need to rethink their lives.

They should find something else to pursue and work on bettering themselves intellectually or helping others or literally anything they want that is something.

Again this is my personal view. I don't care if they do become trans, I just won't have respect for them.

A lot of transgender people just want to pass. They don't want to make it the center of their existence, they just want to assimilate into normal gender roles, just not the one that matches their bits. While I personally am not transgender and quite fine with breaking the gender mold in many ways I realize it's not that easy for other people in other circumstances. Society can be actively cruel towards people not fitting the gender norm. Assumptions will be made, you will always have a shadow hanging over you until you have managed to make your body fit society's expectations. Then you can act and be freely, because your mental illness mark has disappeared. Once you pass you're one of them again.
If you see any people on tumblr or worse real life show off their transgender status or even muddle it with agender or pangender or whatever shit they aren't transgender, they are just confused kids.

I'd believe it when being trans is more normal and the transition becomes easier.
I totally get all your points, but I feel like at this current age it isn't just a thing people with a normal attachment to their gender do.

There might be a lot of people who do feel like they are the other gender but don't do anything because it is just not that important to them.
Have you ever seen a trans in real life who wasn't super liberal, feminist etc.?

If someone is genuinely unhappy about their looks to the point were they get plastic surgery what do you think of them? You could say the same things.
>They just want people to see them as a good looking person.
>They feel unconformable about the way the look and want to match how they think they should look
>They don't want to be the best looking person in the world, but just something they feel is acceptable

They you tell them that no one care and they could stay the way the normally are. You could say the same for a trans; they could just live their life as the gender they are born as and no one would care.
I am that ugly person. I workout and am pretty in shape, but when ever I see my ugly face in the mirror, I can't help but hate it. I will never let this consume me to the point where I actually do anything because their are things that are more important in my life.

Well that's my point about seeing trans people. They usually don't want you to see them. They want you to see a man or a woman, not a special snowflake freak.

And the way I see it there is nothing wrong with seeking plastic surgery for physical abnormalities that seriously impair your life. If your face makes everyone turn heads, makes you not get that job, makes you not find a friend or partner - you can either retreat from society, try to fight their expectations and prejudice or you can alter yourself to assimilate. It's really not so much about how you define yourself but how you deal with the people around you.

After all, so what? Why those people mean so much to you? If you are an ugly fag who believes his inner world is worth shit, then focus on yourself.

It is about someone rising about things like gender to become an individual. I don't want people to look at me and see a man or a women, I want them to see me.
From like ages 10-14 I had long hair and was skinny and people sometimes would say "she" or "her" if they didn't know me. It didn't ever bother me because my gender is irrelevant to who I am as an individual. I wouldn't even correct them.
Puberty changed me physically, but even if people still did say "she" or "her" or even if it happened permanently, I would not care.

I am more than just a gender just like I'm more than just the way my face looks. I don't want or care what gender I'm seen as so long as they see me.

You're just annoyed because you're running out of ways to defend trannies.

To answer your point, no it is not a fantasy. Of course not everyone will judge me by the things I want them to, but it doesn't matter.
If an employer sees that I will be an asset to them, then they don't care at all about my looks. Maybe a small number will, but I'm not desperate and there will be lots of others who won't care and will hire me.

In a personal relationship I would not want to be with someone who places such a high value on looks. If someone does not want to be with me solely based on the way I look, then that is definitely not someone I want to be with.
I have lots of friends and I know none of them care about my looks because we are friends based on similar interests. A friendship or a relationship can't be based solely on appearances anyway, so I would never want find myself in a situation were I am in a relationship with someone who is only with me because of my looks. It would end badly.

>> No.7855483

>>7855436
So, you want to be viewed as a useful asset to your employer? And you don't care about the looks? Tell me something, don't you want to be pretty? To have a good body, feel healthy? Of course looks are not all there is to human, but it is not irrelevant. Most of the people try to omit this simple fact by indulging in long and complex narratives because they are lazy, shy, and confident in themselves. They try to say that looks are not all there is and people will appreciate them because they are useful, for something. But that's just a petty lifestyle, to think like that.

And I'm not defending trannies. I now understand that it's a political issue and people pay them tax money for some reason yada yada Honestly, my opinion is for as long as business of trannies doesn't involve you - you shouldn't care. But it does, so I don't know what to say.

But yes, Marx pretty much conceived everything the western world has ever strided for is freedom and egalitarism and that's what separates it from the machocultures of south and the strict hierarchy of the east.

You said it yourself. He conceived the modern west--- the one that's currently committing suicide and cognitive dissonance en masse. The one that preaches tolerance but has none for opposing viewpoints. The self-hating, globalist one that is betraying every European worker, the ones who Marx claimed to be helping.

The western canon is so great because it is of our culture at a different time, when everybody wasn't such a massive pussy, when people were proud of their heritage.

This site wasn't created and shaped in a vacuum and then openly announced to every ethnicity around the world and only whites followed the call. 4chan and also /lit/ is interesting only to a very specific niche of people and that niche is more so defined by nationality, race, gender and age than "being cultured". /a/, /v/, /d/ and /b/ and literally every other board is also dominated by whites.

Liberty is perfectly fine, but it's incompatible with savage cultures. Marx was unabashedly internationalist, and had no concept of this. Because he was a Jew, he also had no concept of national loyalty, the reason why the revolution never happened anywhere other than Russia---and even then, it was tinged with nationalism.
