This shit is vile.

My mom sent me this and said "must watch"
My mother is a post-op trans woman btw, and also the most reactionary conservative person I have ever met.
Does she still say stuff like "gender identity disorder" unironically?
Her Twitter bio says "challenging transactivist nonsense" so
She's a party functionary of the local log cabin republicans and has showed up (in the news) at anti drag-story time protests.
She's obsessed with the groomer narrative. It's funny at one point she used to say she knew she was trans since she was a child. Now it seems she thinks children shouldn't even know transgender people can exist. I think it's some kind of narcissism in which she thinks she's legitimately transgender and everyone else was tricked into it.
It's wild

Trans-medicalism is a particularily caustic type of brainworm.
Did you find it? Don't want to dox myself but feel free to clown on her as long as it doesn't come back to me lmao

Doesn't this mean she's the groomer in the case of raising you? Do transphobic people not have a cell of logic in their brains?
She wasn't out till I was like 15
Though once I asked her if her and my stepmom were grooming me when they'd watch RuPaul with us since we were 10-12 lmao she got pissed as hell "not the same"

No internal logic
there are a sect of (mostly, in my experience) older, white trans people who still seem to be locked into the rigid structure of gender roles and believe that you can only be considered your gender after numerous (very expensive!) surgeries and presenting in a certain way.
Capitalist mindset means everything is more legitimate if it's also more expensive.
Oh, nice apartment, but it's not a real house, unlike my McMansion.
Cute boat, but my yacht is better.
Oh you have a functional car? Yeah I drive a hummer.
Darling, you took an uber here? My chauffeur drove me in a limousine.
Etc etc.
To a large degree it's a function of what medical gatekeeping for transition looked like until 2011 in the US. You get through that either by learning to lie to doctors (often with community support) or internalizing it heavily.
You still see that with younger transmeds/people who self identify as HSTS. But I think you're right that it's mostly older white trans people.
oh yeah it is absolutely the medical structure that made so many of them internalize it. i've observed that so many of them seem to treat transness as a disease or an unfortunate affliction they must overcome through treatment and that's 100% a result of navigating the medical system. its an inherent flaw with tying transition to the medical system i think, but i digress.
but its also just them being older too. they just grew up with heavier enforcement of the patriarchal standard (women look this way, men look this way, you need these parts to be female and these parts to be male). its super generational, i think younger transmeds are a very loud yet tiny minority.
if you mean the concept of transness as a disease, it's just from the pathologization of deviance from cisnormativity, one that's perpetuated by the medical system. if we know gender to be a social construct (there is no biological basis for gender, and a very shaky biological basis for sex), and is enforced for the benefit of capitalism (it is in the interest of the bourgeoisie to enforce rigid gender roles and by extension the traditional nuclear family unit, it's productive to generate more workers. the men go out and work, the women stay home with the family, and under the view of reactionary biological determinism, you aren't allowed to change what you were assigned. i recommend the first few chapters of "sexuality and socialism" if you're curious about this), then there's nothing really inherently wrong with deviating from it and identifying as something outside the gender binary or identifying as something different than what you were assigned. but obviously the capitalist system, and by extension the medical system, enforces this social construct by pathologizing that deviance. but don't let that convince you that transness is a disease or affliction. the truth is that it isn't, its just a simple condition of being that comes about because the complexity of human expression does not always fit neatly into the constructed rigid binary. it's just a descriptor for how we interface with the social structure of gender, not something we did wrong or is wrong with us. at least, this is my view on it.
if you would be willing to expand on this part as I'm very curious to know more about how sex is of shaky biological basis, since I would've assumed that's largely pretty straight forwards in humans aside from unusual cases
there is no biological basis for gender, and a very shaky biological basis for sex
Using medical procedures to get your body where you want it is cool and good. Like, I take hormones and I desperately want bottom surgery, that's not the issue.
The issue is that a lot of cis people view transness as predominantly a medical "issue" and have set up gatekeeping around that, which causes a lot of trans people to internalize that way of thinking. As in, you are not Normal and we're going to graciously allow you medical procedures to allow you to get as close to Normal as possible (and in many cases and especially before 2011, not even that in the vast majority of cases). Gender Dysphoria is in the DSM, it's categorized as a mental disorder- the fact that transition is currently accepted as the most effective "treatment" doesn't change the fundamental issues of that framing.
The old gatekeeping makes this abundantly clear. Like, a trans woman could lose her hormones back then if she ever wore pants to a doctor's appointment or if the doctor found out she wasn't straight or if she didn't want to do what we now call going stealth. Because the goal was taking somebody "deviant" and making them as not deviant as possible. And this is also where we get hierarchies like AGP and HSTS- which is to say, hierarchies of good assimilationist trans people who can be tentatively allowed to transition in a single prescribed way and bad deviant trans people who are probably faking their transness and must be denied the ability to transition- which were and are formalized and treated seriously by psychologists (albeit less now than they used to be).
Does this make sense/answer your question?
Transmedicalists are unfortunately a real thing, and as you could imagine, they do tend to be very white and privileged.
the 5% of trans people that look at caitlyn jenner and are like 'wow i wanna be exactly like her'
Without the labels they actually can get mad at the joke created for them. It's wild
I tried sharing a recent headline from The Onion with a relative since was the closest thing to chud-tier they've posted in a while. He didn't get the humor at all and thought it was being played straight.
He then shared a Babylon bee article which was just a worse version that also punched down.
Guess we know who's part of the percentage of Americans that can't read past a sixth grade level.
Plot twist it’s actually all Americans, the researchers can’t read either so just made some numbers up
Is this gonna be another example of conservative "comedy" where they get so mad at their own strawman halfway through the joke that they forget there's supposed to be a punchline
This implies that there’s conservative “comedy” that isn’t like that
Good example, he's a real funny guy. I got the impression he was a lib though, or is these days, rather than full on
I'm not triggered by it, I'm just probably not going to watch it. It's not like it makes me mad, it's just annoying. Triggers are totally recognized by the right when it's a troop being haunted by the ghosts of the children they slaughtered. Safe spaces are easily communicated when it's your horrible wife interrupting football on the TV.
Anything that isn't praise = Triggered. The movie could be an hour of Johnny Test farting into his scrotum and it would achieve what they are hoping.
Theybreally love giving themselves credit for upsetting people.
It reminds me of the guy I knew in high-school who would shit his pants for attention. Nobody is impressed, people aren't even really offended. Mostly they just have contempt for you.
This is a response I wish more people would ascribe to. It's often enough to just call something what it is and move on with your life.
This looks like some shitty low budget comedy from the 2000's. Makes sense with how that crowd thinks being funny involves repeating tropes from that time period and expecting people half their age to laugh.
Is Crowder still doing his Chris Rock impression or did he finally learn that Kevin Hart exists?
written and directed by a guy who's name is literally Jeremy Boreing, who used to work in Matt Walsh's podcast, oh he's the cofounder and owner of the daily wire
i'm not looking forward to the next decade
these guys are just shamelessly writing fanfic where they get to beat up women, and they're going to get away with it
comedy is when man hurt women. such examples include honeymooners “bang zoom straight to the moon” and… um… others
Imagine having a last name like Boreing, and not naming the media empire you control "Boreing Media" or "Boreing News", imagine not hosting "the Boreing podcast".
From the minds that brought you Loqueesha and Saving Christmas
More utter bullshit
Edit, the hoodie link I put in by mistake
Saving Christmas
excuse me, in this house it is called Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas.
Show
It was directed by Darren Doane and written by Doane and Cheston Hervey, based on an original story by Kirk Cameron.
The movie stars Cameron as a fictionalized version of himself. In Saving Christmas, Cameron, after explaining his views on Christmas directly to the audience, tries to convince his fictional brother-in-law, played by the film's director, that Christmas is still a Christian holiday.
The film received a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It was nominated in six categories for the 35th Golden Raspberry Awards and won four, including Worst Picture. It also became the lowest-rated film on the IMDb Bottom 100 List within one month of its theatrical release, and is now considered one of the worst films of all time.
Christian complains that several elements of Christmas, most notably Christmas trees, are not biblical in origin. Cameron tells him that Christmas trees were God's idea since God created trees.

That means the Easter bunny and Santa Claus are biblical since God created human imagination
It's also sacrilegious as fuck because the Bible has a bit about not keeping tree in doors specifically in response to Saturnalia (etc.) which were where the tradition was later adapted from
How the hell did they miss the red white & blue connection by turning the word christmas partially blue to highlight the "christ" part smh
I like the Silent Hill ass texture on the cross, there was absolutely a three-armed corpse hanging on that thing just before this picture was taken
2 hours to tell one joke.
Who am i kidding, this shit is 80 minutes with credits
Plot twist: it turns out they're all actually trans and the second half is them coming to terms with that while getting out of the weird hole they just dug themselves. That would even be a pretty good comedy.
Not to make assumptions, I do wonder if any of them have some repression deal going on, I know Crowder seemed to get really in character when he did his cross dressing bits
The only good thing to come out of this is the Hasan video
Seriously, the Kavernacles video is full of bot accounts saying "I didn't know about this until now, thanks!" Like the Daily Wire released a movie the most mainstream it has gone is on left wing reaction channels.
Recycling the same tired shit that South Park was doing ten years ago. It's so fucking boring that some peope just want to hear the same jokes over and over and over again.
