Actually there’s probably lots of cops in sight. They’re likely the ones holding the AR-15s.

Honestly I'd bet a lot of tucutes and transmeds have the same opinions just worded differently. Most transmeds just include gender incongruence in their definition of gender dysphoria.

[extranny]

That's the god damn problem? Gender incongruence and gender dysphoria are two completely different phenomena, experiencing gender dysphoria requires having gender incongruence while gender incongruence doesn't require having gender dysphoria, in short gender incongruence is the cause of gender dysphoria, that's an anti-science statement.

you can't just walk around saying having a low level of serotonin and depression are the same thing while expecting no backlash.

And the fact that y'all still shit on and bully non-dysphoric people stands between you and making this argument in good-faith, even if that statement was scientifically true.

[captaintranssexual]

I don’t necessarily agree with it either but for some that’s the only difference between them. And bullying absolutely occurs on both sides, don’t get me wrong.

[haweswater]

are you ever just,, fucking amazed that very things are actually discourse??

– lesbians are women

– objects are not genders

– preferences are not sexualities

– pedophilia is a mental illness not a sexuality

– intersex is a medical disorder

– asexuals do not feel sexual attraction

like these things,, are just facts?? what bizarro timeline have we entered where this shit isn’t just?? universally understood??

[yiffscourse]

You were so close until you acted like nb lesbians don’t exist 🤡🤪

[narcissusler-deactivated2020012]

Guess I’m not a lesbian, can I have some privilege now?

[haweswater]

fr i don’t get why every enbygirl on this post thinks that i’m trying to invalidate them, specifically. pal, i don’t know your life. all i know is that if you are a lesbian, you should accept the fact that you are a woman, and you if you are not a woman, you should accept the fact that you are not a lesbian.

[narcissusler-deactivated2020012]

are you a lesbian? or are you speaking over those of us that ARE in the community?

[transmedtedtalk]

This, my friends is called circular reasoning. “I’m an enby lesbian” “I’m not a woman but am a lesbian” “only lesbians can speak on this” “you can’t speak on this because you’re not a lesbian” “I can speak because I’m a lesbian because I said I am” “therefore I get to decide on this topic” “so as a lesbian I declare that I am, and also that I’m not a woman” “therefore nbs can be lesbians”.

Instead of actually explaining, they said “I am because i say I am” that’s one of the least valuable inputs you can make to an argument. Seriously. “Lesbians get to decide this and I say I’m one so I get to decide this”

[narcissusler-deactivated2020012]

You say a lot of words that make zero sense

[captaintranssexual]

That’s kind of the point. If it’s broken down like that and you can’t follow it, that’s because the original statement was flawed in the first place. That’s the whole point of it being a fallacy. Sounds nice but when broken down, it’s a giant mess of flaws, assumptions, bias, and illogical statements.

[queerpyracy]

baffling how much of this site is just conservative protestantism with a gay hat

[queerpyracy]

you know what i’m in just enough of a bad mood that i’m ready to nail my grievances to the church door so let’s fucking go

black and white morality wherein anyone who doesn’t believe/think/live exactly as I do is a dirty sinner Problematic and probably a predatory monster

everyone is a sinner Problematic but true believers people who activist the right way according to my worldview are still better than everyone else, and I will act in accordance to this belief in my own superiority to let everyone else know I’m better than them because I found Jesus am the most woke

casual and fucking omnipresent equations of womanhood with softness/goodness/purity/nurturing to remind every woman who isn’t/doesn’t want to be any of those things that they’re doing it wrong

aggressive desexualization (particularly of women’s sexuality, to the point where it may as well not exist at all) accompanied by pastels [not a criticism directed ace ppl having a right to sex-free content and spaces but specifically targeted at a wider problem resulting from the previous point]

YOU’RE VALID AND JESUS LOVES YOU and neither of these platitudes achieves a goddamn thing

historical context is for people who care about nuance and we don’t have time for either (see: black and white morality)

lots of slogans and quotes and nice little soundbites to memorize but does anybody actually study the source material with a critical eye to make their own informed analysis

the answer is no

I’ve been to bible study groups don’t @ me I know what the fuck I’m talking about

Good Christians™ Nice Gays™ don’t fraternize with/let themselves be influenced by non-Christians those terrible queers

all the media one consumes must be ideologically pure or it will surely harm the children

it is Our Sacred Duty to protect the children from Everything, thus ensuring their innocence/purity/etc until such time as they are idk probably 25 years old

literally just “think of the children” moral panic y’all can fuckin miss me with that

people who don’t conform to the dominant thinking WILL be excommunicated/driven from the social group, and any wrong treatment they suffer will be seen as a justified consequence of their wrong thinking

Thank you for breaking it down like that because so many of us have been saying it but to see a play by play breakdown comparison is just…Thank you.

sipping tea and judging people as a group bonding activity

[curlicuecal]

oh, man, speaking as a queer Christian who gets regular tumblr flashbacks to my childhood in the Bible Belt, YES

-belief that small snippets of text can be analyzed out context to understand the whole work/ judge the whole person -Desire for moral choices to be easy/ black-and-white leads to belief that it is possible to find a one-size-fits all answer to every situation -Literal, rather than literary analysis, with weird fixation on etymological roots that have nothing to do with source material -Belief that there is “one true interpretation” that is self-evident and will be understood by everyone encountering the same material regardless of background -Overwhelming, internalized sense of culpability for other people’s actions/integrity/souls -Overwhelming, internalized sense of personal guilt -Pressure to evangelize aggressively -Tendency to value broad ideals before individual needs -Hostility towards coexistence/tolerance/neutrality -Hostility towards lack of consensus in viewpoint -Knowledge as contamination -Guilt/contamination by proximity -Fixation on the sexual as uniquely dirty/sinful -Belief in “thought crimes” -Argumentation via appeal to higher authority/feelings of revulsion rather than internal, verbalizeable logic -“conversations” that are actually stealth soapboxes because one side isn’t actually interested in listening -“polite requests” that are actually commands because “no” is not considered an acceptable answer -in-group language -virtue-signaling and hostility towards the outgroup -gatekeeping -communities strongly built around the idea of being the world’s underdog -appropriation of other people’s persecution/victimization -treating the concept of oppression like a trophy -glorification/fetishization of victimhood

Here’s a few more!

Heretical Problematic language will not be tolerated and will only be seen from one perspective! Because my point of view is the only right one!

Who cares if it was a joke? I didn’t find it funny so IT’S NOT! that’s gonna be a yikes from me, fam.

A firm belief that they are superior moral authority even among people they consider close friends.

Unyielding belief that change is an event, not a process.

Sinners (insert your chosen kind of “-ists”) shouldn’t have a chance to redeem themselves, just don’t sin be problematic lmao.

Block lists and mass blocking creates echo-chambers.

It’s kind of ironic seeing people accusing others of taking part in an echo-chamber but go around blocking everyone that disagrees with them.

Of course if you’re not into discourse and politics, do what you want, but if you’re actively putting out your opinions, but blocking everyone who may disagree or try to give you a different opinion, you’re blocking one more person from accessing this information you think is so valuable or correct. You’re also blocking opinions of others which in turn creates your own echo-chamber.

The more a name appears on a blocklist, the more that person will be secluded to only a small group of people with a small set of opinions. If every tucute blocks every transmed, they will absolutely y’all amongst themselves. You’re not blocking their platform, only narrowing their view of the world. If you want to make change, consider opening yourself to others a little bit. You will never change a mind that you have placed behind a wall. And they likely aren’t going to change their view if you’re always keeping them on the outside.

Obviously this is not exclusive to tucutes. And if someone is actually harassing you, you have the right to get away from that. But also having another opinion, having a debate, or someone criticizing you or your view is not harassment. If you’re not willing to listen to others, nobody needs to listen to you. You’re not an authority, you don’t possess an absolute truth, you’re not on the “right side” of every opinion. Better yourself and learn to listen. You can’t argue something successfully if you don’t understand the side you’re arguing against. If you think you know them without civilly talking to them, you absolutely need a reality check, you may be in an echo-chamber already.

Stop using suicide statistics to gaslight people.

That’s all.

If you belong to a certain tumblr discourse group and you notice that group propagating things that research does not support. You should speak up.

Studies have shown that people are conformists. Even when it goes against their own knowledge. Even if it goes against a clear truth. Against scientific research and evidence. Doesn’t matter what group, if you have misinformed people in it leading discussions, you’ll always have people dropping their own critical thinking, in favor of being liked. Delivery of information from another person is stronger than ones own discovery of information. Just an unfortunate truth. But you can become aware of that and learn to be critical of the self and of the group you belong to.

Groups will inevitably become misinformation machines because groups are social structures and people are social creatures. Claims with no evidence and no explanation are often just opinions, not facts. If your group favors the narrative of “you’re wrong and that’s the end” you should really reassess what it is that you stand for.

Leave groups that favor political opinions over science. That’s simply just a group of people who look solely for evidence supporting their positions, not forming their opinions on tangible data. That’s dishonest.

Tucutes, you do this. Transmeds, you do this (not usually as often though). Radfems, you do this. Liberals, you do this. Conservatives, you do this.

Be your own person. Not having a group to belong to on the internet is not going to hurt you. It may even make you a better person. Your social fulfillment should not come from trying to insult people on the internet because they’re not “one of you”. People get social fulfillment online, loneliness depression can lessen. That may lead one to say that the loniler people may be spending more time online as a means of offering relief. That’s not necessarily a good thing when groups are fueled heavily by toxic politics in which one may lose their means of socialization and relief from loneliness if they stray from group narratives.

This absolutely offers incentive to strengthen the narrative of the group to increase social standing and that may mean dishonestly producing cherry-picked information from heavily biased “sources” because it may agree with a misleading or misinformed opinion. And if one can’t do that, blocking out criticism (because many of the people looking for fulfillment online are more sensitive to criticism) and simply turning away outside information: “*These* people are wrong” put into a visually pleasing art piece with no explanation or information to support the statement, accompanied by tags drawing other members of the group and deterring members of opposing groups i.e. “dni tags”.

In conclusion: your blog and social standing online means little to nothing and you need to stop taking everything to heart. Criticism isn’t a personal attack. Do your own research. Be critical of the information given to you, even by your own peers, and perhaps especially by your own peers. Seek social fulfillment offline.

Saying something vague but asinine and then being an absolute shithead when someone responds negatively because “you’re stupid I obviously meant it this way” is a form of gaslighting and y’all need to stop doing that.

I get that everyone’s afraid of being wrong because being wrong can get you ostracized nowadays, but seriously just have your opinions and stick to them. Don’t make a statement and then completely change it when someone calls out a flaw and act like you were perfectly right the whole time. Say what you mean and if you really believe it, defend it. If you don’t really believe it then why tf are you saying it in the first place other than to be confrontational??

“The sky is black”

“it’s blue”

“well space is black and that’s still the sky. I never meant the color of our perception through the atmosphere. You must be stupid to not know that.”

(Not a real example, but I’m sure you’ve all seen it).

Nothing edgier than an “ex-transmed”

We get it, you want to always be against the popular movement. You wanna be a new brand of hipster. “Oh I used to be a transmed back when it first began, but the new wave is disgusting”. Back when? 2015??

You wanted to be a transmed because it was “distasteful” and you could go unchecked and make it what you wanted. But now that more people hopped on and you’re not as relevant as a “founding member” as you thought you’d be, you got mad and stormed out. What were you in it for then? Just wanted to be a dick? We’re you in it to be one of the few and make yourself important in the community? Wanted to do it back when it was edgy, but now it’s too popular? Realize you didn’t actually have dysphoria and didn’t want to be pushing something that would push yourself out?

One more thing, that doesn’t make you superior to any other person here, and it’s not something that gives you any credibility to what you have to say. Most of y’all end up as tucute-lites anyways 😂.

[captaintranssexual]

Some of you really just want to have enemies

Most of you seem to forget to think critically about things anymore. Nobody’s having discussions with anyone outside of the groups they already agree with. You all just want to sit in your safe little boxes and criticize eachother. Giving all these labels to others is doing nothing but promote stereotypes and prevent others from trying to communicate outside your boxes. Other people have plenty of valuable opinions and insight but are too afraid to talk to those people and be ostracized.

Stop making posts like: “we all know the real enemy is (blank)”. We are all trying to make the world better and safer for everyone, you just want someone to fight. Always want to make someone else the bad guy. Well sorry but you aren’t a soldier, you aren’t in battle, and there is no war. Just talk to people you disagree with. Try to see where they’re coming from. You will never dissolve a misconception or misunderstanding with aggression and antagonistic rhetoric. Most of you only have small ideological differences but would never even know because you’re too busy judging people by a label you gave them.

If you’re not going to listen, then stay silent.

[captaintranssexual]

I’m absolutely tired of seeing transmeds call out tucutes for the same shit they do and vice versa.

Both of you are just reciting shit you heard other people say. Educate yourselves. All of you.
