Culture War Conscientious Objector

@brianeskow More and more I’m realizing how ludicrous it is to ask such a huge question … on Twitter. This is just not the right format for deep, serious discussion.

Does a just society require some degree of wealth redistribution?

In the case of my own child, he also has dysphoria about certain aspects of having a penis, yet I am fairly certain I therapist has talked with him about similar (and even more gross) aspects of having a vagina.

All these discussions of Elliot Page’s page-plaining masculinity reminded me of one of the biggest problems I have with rushing young people into transition as the supposed way to cure gender dysphoria …

If you are a person who is unhappy with the societal expectations for your birth sex, it seems likely you are also going to be unhappy with societal expectations for your transition sex.

@noseyrosieposy @elegationvain *case of

@noseyrosieposy @elegationvain In the Page specifically, I doubt they are going to be a happy person no matter what gender they are.

A lot of women (naturally incl. transmen) think men are constantly repressing their emotions to be “manly”, & only allowing themselves to feel emotions such as anger or lust. But most men simply aren’t experiencing emotions that require repression (except for anger & lust).

@WeAllNeedJesus1 @RopeCalls @elegationvain Newsom is just so blatantly two-faced, opportunistic, and soulless. To the point where I kind of appreciate him as a performance artist. 🤣

@noculturewar @RopeCalls @elegationvain Shakespeare is deeper than me. I’ll admit it. Gavin Newsome isn’t. He has the depth of a puddle.

@SunstriderIII @elegationvain I am opposed to transgender ideas because my own kid is affected. I never really got TERF concerns about their spaces being invaded by trans women, but with Page I got a hint of what TERFs are feeling.

@elegationvain Bro idc what you say this is a minstrel show and every man should be deeply offended by it

@noseyrosieposy @elegationvain There’s generally a while set of social ecplectsifo for men, too.

@elegationvain I think this comes from being socialised as a female, whereby if you don't display "feminine" behaviours, you just won't fit in or have many, if any, friends. It's toxic. I've always thought that men are "allowed" to maintain a more natural demeanor, but could be wrong.

@WeAllNeedJesus1 @RopeCalls @elegationvain Yeah, it’s a generalization, but I think it is true.

@RopeCalls @elegationvain Depends on the man and woman, obviously.

@elegationvain @LauraBeckerReal Courage is ignoring the fear while you are in the middle of the dangerous situation where the fear is counterproductive. Repression is ignoring the fear all the time, even when current circumstances don’t require it.

@LauraBeckerReal I’ve noticed a lot of settings where a woman would feel shame, it doesn’t occur to men. That is, the social awareness that would cause one to feel shame is simply absent for them. Fear though is interesting. What’s the difference between courage and repressing fear?

@elegationvain @cervixen We do often repress emotions in unhealthy ways, but at the same time not in a way that women and others grok. One of the best things about men and masculinity is a certain base level of suppression of emotion about unimportant things and when in high-stakes situations.

@wesyang @BigTomBoye My experience with @BriannaWu is she is very moody and inconsistent. She blocked me one day for saying things no different that she has said when in her more moderate moods.

For those still persisting in the desperate lie that Brianna Wu is a reasonable moderate who isn't seeking to chemically castrate and dismember confused children

@thefempire50 @Gaynotqueer1 He implied he is into non-objectifying attraction. Meaning, I guess, he wants to stick around and talk about Trek after having sex.

@Gaynotqueer1 I’m gonna put money on the fact that this man goes to Thailand for sex tourism.

'Allotroposexual.' Isn't 'chaser' easier to say?

@I_am_JILLX @AlexSmith90014 @Gaynotqueer1

@AlexSmith90014 @Gaynotqueer1 All the while hoping never to catch one!

@commentour @JackxJewell I wonder how Page would do on a camping trip with a bunch of my buddies.

@JackxJewell I mean, like, he is so emotionally correct that, like, masculinity is about, like, emotions all bottled up and the, like, released, you know?

These are unserious narcissists with far too much time on their hands. Unfortunately for Page, the testosterone has done barely anything for her in comparison to other females who take this route.

@JackxJewell I watched the entire half hour interview. I’m surprised I haven’t seen much about another part where she goes on for quite a while about how humans should act more like bonobos, and f—- each other indiscriminately and frequently.

@JackxJewell I saw that, too. Is Page keeping their T doses really low?

@EveKeneinan “Gender” is an indirect pointer to sex.

@EveKeneinan Did you just apply Computer Science analysis to transgender beliefs? 🥰

The trans dilemma: If "being trans" has do with the human sexed body, trans is proven false because "trans women" do not have the human sexed bodies of women, but of men. If "being trans" has to nothing to do with the human sexed body, then trans is false because "trans women are women" is a meaningless assertion because "women" no longer points to anything real or meaningful. It because a null pointer.
