Does anyone care to enlighten me on the plight of the transgender community? why is it such a big deal now? Is it because of Hollywood?
The population that is actually trans is so damn small what is the obsession with Social Studies Warriors and gamers with this? Is it because they tend to be young, and easily influenced by entertainers? Reminds me when everyone was all about the freedom of Tibet. lol
ill bite.
Plight is that the trans community is being hijacked by some actual transgenders who refuse to renounce prostitution (Davis / White), and those who use it because its trendy.
The confusion lies between those that accept that their something different, those that accept they are in the wrong body, and those that just feel some sort of way.
Another plight is the murders of many transgenders who are in prostitution. A lot of it stems from the fact that many of these are actually robberies and a lot of men that commit these crimes are behind in their child support payments (and thats a whole other story) Also, drug use.
Another is the use of children in the movement - and its down right dark implications. We had a 8 year old dressed up in drag, we had a tentacled looking drag queen reading a book to kids (dont know of its a Halloween stunt or not) and the issue with bathrooms in High School. IMO, until they reach adulthood legally, the bathroom thing is off limits because it took forever for the LBGT community to remove the stain of the Harvest of Souls from their movement.
Plus, god knows what these young men would do to a FTM if he entered a teenage male bathroom and knowing how these dudes act. (Dont get me started on transitioning children, while it doesn't reach abuse because kids do go into moms stuff and put on heels etc - its beyond skeevy as fuck to give them mones at 11 years old)
Plus - the use of the concept of Futa/Newhalf work - while not as popular as it was in the mid 2000's - the westerners have taken hold of it - and both used it and then complained about the same problematic structures of their relationships in the Japanese dojins - even though there were alot books that dealt with these issues in a way healther manner - but they went after the hentai because according to the opinions of some "It gave them their sexual birth". I am of two minds of it but this isnt the place for it. (BTW, the dojin folks are moving away to Traps and the like because the cultures history with otonoko is stronger, even though the western concept of marriage rights for LBGT is brand new for Asian nations overall.)
But there are successes. First off, many dont prostitute and have good jobs. Two - there being elected to office. Three, despite my very deep misgivings about Cox and Mock and their acceptance of prostitution, they are successful. I mean after dude died, a transgender female model showed all her goodies on Playboy (not saying it was a moment but just an example)
They just have to accept if the concept of transgender women = women, then women are in inherently sexual and have a sexual component. Denying this is causing so much problems. Terfs are becoming the lead dogs in feminism and thats also bad news for not only transgenders but for women, and men in particular.
