Why do leftists always seem to make excuses for this guy? Yeah he has been part of some great work, especially with Snowden and Bolsonaro, but he has some real chud tier beliefs. To me he seems like your bog standard libertarian, meaning he has no conception of societal power dynamics and his concept of freedom is limited to the level of the individual.
I read a couple of articles by that lesbians are trans now woman trying to understand the fucking gripe, and I just ran flat into the wall of them only being able to articulate harm by making aspersions and innuendos.
Like, they spend all this time talking about “harmful surgeries”, but like, no pre-adolescents are getting top or bottom surgery? (I don’t even know of any adolescents who are receiving them) The few cases where someone has gone on to regret surgery usually coincide with a lot of other mental health issues.
I just don’t see the harm, even if you buy their argument (which obviously I don’t) that it is purely cultural pressure creating the pattern of uhh transification and not just a more accepting society. Where are the victims? If you believe this is systemic, extrinsic, and harmful you should expect to see a LOT of people regretting their transitions, which uh... you don’t. So gosh, even if you believe the premise that pop-culture is creating the TRANS’S’S why would you give a shit without legitimate examples of harm? Unless... I dunno, you’re prejudiced for other reasons?
