        Really just goes to show what's become of society. When I was your age, a milf could be in her mid-20s. But now, thanks to all that college education and birth control...

      You just gave me a sinking realization most Americans probably are only aware of trans people through porn.

        I mean the only actual trans people your average American chud is aware of are Caitlyn Jenner and maybe now Elliot Page. Those two, trans porn, and the one picture of a drag queen story hour is what the fox news viewer thinks of.

    How hard can it be?

    1. Trans women are women

    2. Cis women are women

    3. Trans women are not cis women

    They have some different situations, and some shared ones. Some different experiences, and some shared ones. Some different needs, and - say it with me now - some shared ones. That does not change the first statement or challenge the second.

      These people have entirely no concept of how ‘sets’ work. Or more likely they are just being assholes, but it’s fun to imagine they don’t know to make a Venn diagram or whatever.

      They also have categories for big tits/small tits, fat women/skinny women, younger women/older women. Does that mean these women shouldn't be together in real life? His point makes zero sense if you give it more than a couple seconds of thought.

      In his generation there's plenty of trans people who downright identify with terms we would call slurs. To say that the discourse nowadays is different than in his time would be the understatement of the century.

        That phenomena scares the shit out of me. Sometimes I have to just say "This is weird but trust the kids, they know what they're doing" because there's some change in the way that Gen Z is approaching gender or politics or whatever and it takes me a while to adjust. I really, really don't want to turn in to a disconnected, judgmental person as I age so "Trust the kids to know what they're doing" becomes almost a mantra.

          It's idealistic bloomerism but I think the desire for a viable future - any future - will become the great youth motivator in my time. I don't entirely trust the kids to have solutions but I think their ability to recognize the problems will be very powerful once motivated.

          Step in if you see someone getting hurt or a decision which benefits the chuds if your generation, but I applaud your style of stepping back when you should. I hope I can emulate it when I become an older leftist instead of a young firebrand

            Knowing when to step in and when to shut up is constantly fraught. I'm a cis white dude but sometimes I feel a strong conviction that it's time to jump in and start swinging to defend trans people, and other times I'm like "Shit this is not my time or place to speak". and I'm never 100% sure. The stakes are usually pretty low, but mentally it keeps me on my toes. I see so many comments from marginalized people about mouthy white guys who don't know there place, and I don't want to be that guy but I also don't want to let things slide out of complacency.

              There's seldom a 100% way to be sure it's your time to speak. I'm also a straight cis white guy. I usually take the stance that I'll say something if no one else is speaking up because maybe the marginalized people don't feel safe speaking on the issue. If someone else has spoken who's closer to the issue I'll just back them up. If it's something I'm less sure of I'll say "that sounds kind of (whatever style of reactionary), probably don't say it." and back down if I get pushback from more affected groups.

    The pronoun debate and rejection of science makes me wonder what ducking party I’m still part of

    You’re part of the party that does bare fucking minimum for political points while still hating trans people. Sounds about right.

    Sucks to feel homeless (politically)

    Love to see one of the most dire material positions be likened to some vague group membership ennui because you think neopronouns go too far. FUCK. RIGHT. OFF.

    "Gender dysphoria!? Brain scans!? Man =/= Male!? What are you talking about!?! The people have democratically decided trans people icky so trans people icky!1!"

    The closest thing I have seen to an actual argument that can dissuade me from socialism is the fact that my ideology means that the majority of people will have more say.

      This is why I whole heartedly embrace authoritarian tankism with censorship and re-education camps as well as big microphones blaring propaganda and perhaps some public beatings. The time for these things will pass and the children will look back on it with disgust, but there is no other way to make the chuds of the west into decent, respectful human beings.

        Ofthe many authentic character moments the right appropriates from the left, the biggest is "i was normal until you guys pushed me to this position" Obviously it's not true for them, but I truly, deeply just wanted everyone to hold hands and get along. But some people just can't stop killing, and they're taking the world with them, and we've run out of time to be polite with these ghouls and their dumbass childlike cultists so fuck it, out come the tanks.

          I probably would be an electoralist or anarchists except I have heard some deeply evil things from "normal" people and I do not see a way to coexist with them unless they are chained until they have learned their errors.

    In pornography, there is a Trans-Woman Category and a Woman Category. No one has ever tried to put them together.

    When 4chan porno-threads are more woke than your initial public offering, you may need to touch grass and re-evaluate your life choices.

      Pornhub and xvideos both have a wide number of categories but they also have 3 "orientations" that you can set the site to - "gay" which shows videos focusing on men, "transgender" which shows videos focusing on trans women, and the default orientation, which shows videos focusing on cis women.

      Basically, the "cis woman" category exists but isn't labeled because it's assumed to be the default for everyone.
