He has... Some good points, and some bad ones. There is this horrible victim complex in a lot of the circles containing the transgender population, but being transgender is not a new thing. It's been going on for centuries. It's only now getting the publicity that it has because of the internet and the gay rights movement.

I'm trans and I hate most trannies. They're self-righteous, demanding cunts who think screaming "DISCRIMINATION" at people is going to make them accept us.
There's hardly anyone in my life who knows I'm trans. To them, I'm just a dude they know, nothing weird about me. Very close friends know that I have no penis. And people I want to fuck, of course. That behavior is why people accept me, because I want to be treated like a man and so present myself as a man, not a transgender rights activist.

Act the way you want to present yourself, and there won't need to be a question of trans rights. They'll just be.

"Nonbinary" people have hopped onto trangender rights and diluted them. It's just hilarious because with their "everyone can be everything" feelgood, don't hurt my feels nature they actually undermine and question the struggles of transgender people. By making what you identify as just a choice like coffee or tea, they invalidate the argument for transgender people suffering from a disorder that deserves to be treated (such as with hormones and surgery).

Basically it sucks.

isn't that the opposite of what is common for MTF? Namely, presenting as a woman while bearing a penis? Would you mind saying a little more about how this situation arose? Very interesting.

He also addresses a big conflict between feminist who are transwomen inclusive and those who aren't. Just because a man put on lipstick and a skirt he doesn't become less of a threat for women and if feminists want to create safe places or just places of female privilege no man should be able sneak his way in.

See also the drama around the movie Tangerine featuring a transwoman taking revenge against a ciswomen with verbal and physical abuse. Played for hilarity or empowerment.

>Stonewall condemned McEwan’s “uninformed views” as “extremely sad”. In a statement it said: “The complexity of gender identity extends beyond genitalia. Trans people need and deserve acceptance and equality. This sort of commentary doesn’t just denigrate the trans experience, it denies its very existence, and that’s especially hurtful for a group of people who have spent their lives fighting to be heard and understood.”

>Human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell described McEwan’s stance on gender as a form of “ethical authoritarianism”. He said: “There seems to be a league table of oppression, where some people fight other people to claim the title of most oppressed. This disempowering holier-than-thou rivalry was never what identity politics was supposed to be about.”

I think letting dicks be women and vaginas be men is a good thing for our society, because it emphasizes the idea that ACTIONS make a man or woman, not biology.

I have no problem with a FTM calling themselves a man if they actually understand that men are supposed to protect and provide for their loved ones. i.e. not let immigrants in to blow shit up and rape everyone. Carl the Cuck is not a man, regardless of his genitals.

Why not with antipsychotics? Even after hormones and surgery, a very large portion of transgenders end up killing themselves. Maybe instead of indulging gender-dsymorphic notions, it would be better to just treat the gender dysmorphia itself.

Ever since I was a little boy sitting on the toilet wondering when my tits would start to grow I've had some pretty fundamental gender issues. It makes me really depressed sometimes to think that I'm not a woman. And living in this age of insane trans-whatever bullshit really does piss me off. Of course it's a mental illness - it's not normal to be a man and want to be a woman. I've made my peace with that and I don't go out claiming to be a woman and getting weirdo surgery and taking hormones - I wear a dress sometimes in private and I accept that I am what I was born as. Why do these people have to take it beyond that into the realm of complete madness? Why do they make me feel even worse about my own condition by making it by-association theirs?

trannies are essentially "men" who watch so much porn, they start self-inserting as the woman in order to jack off.

This is the only thing they can do because they can't figure out anything else and they're too pussy to either tell these people that they are seriously fucked up or admit that they don't have the answer.

i just said that wasn't me. my only response was that the analogy wasn't very good
>>
>>7881219
You're pretty close to the truth, but not quite. Transexuals have attraction to the other gender, so much so that they want to be the other gender. It's like a child wanting to be a superhero, or a man wishing he was famous, or a girl wanting to look pretty. But hey, at least we have NEET 4chan psychologists who took one course of it in high school to tell us that anything weird to them is completely, 100% wrong.

i don't see the point in trying to hide racism behind 'neutral' rhetoric in the first place. that's why people get so buttblasted when they get called out on their racism
>>

I agree.

It's a little disheartening to be attacked by people when I criticise anti Xphobia laws -- the issue isn't whether I personally think it's morally permissible to be for example anti gay, the issue is 'should states be allowed to legislate acceptable thought'.

People can't get past their personal feelings about a tangent and miss the point all the time.

Should states be allowed to legislate thoughts of citizens in such a way that there now exists arbitrarily decided "acceptable and unacceptable thoughts"?
>>
>>7881432
i don't think you've been thinking it through judging by your vague responses. what relation do the 'so many people' have to parliamentarians? is saying 'you are xphobic' to shut down the opposition really an exercise in 'loaded language'? i don't know what you mean and i think that's because you can't adequately explain your position since you don't know what you mean either beyond 'ugh leftists'

>>7881434
people aren't being dismissed as racists because they're openly admitting they're racists. they're hiding it behind ideological views and pretending it's a neutral expression of what is rational or natural. it only works as 'shutting them down' when people don't actually realise or embrace the fact that they are being racist
>>
>>7881439
I've clarified my position but you seem to want to paint me as your conception of some right wing caricature. go ahead.
>>
>>7881446
do they have some sort of mind-reading machine there? boy those nazis really invented everything
>>
>>7881442
Wew
Legislation if enforced is one of the most powerful ideological weapons. Having x is bad enforced for anything is a way it imposes itself on the individual. It's a way to deal with political enemies. Anyone who doesn't bake a cake for gays could be persecuted and have their property taken away and bear the stigma in day to day life.
>>
>>7881457
>they're hiding it behind ideological views and pretending it's a neutral expression of what is rational or natural.
Well, what if it IS rational?
>>
>>7881442
anti discrimination laws are exactly that.

and this is where you'll invariably say something like

Obviously that which is in accordance with the progressive ideology.
>>7881462
You are fucking retarded, for real.
>>
>>7881462
Nah, but we have laws that will prevent you from saying "racist" (whatever that means these days) things. If you are cencoring free speech, you are essentially censoring thoughts.
>>
>>7881458
you haven't clarified it at all. you've gone from talking about 'so many people' to parliamentarians specifically for no reason or any acknowledgment of having done so. at least show some sort of consistency

so since the government isn't literally stopping you from committing crimes, you're saying laws don't exist?

work on your grammar or something because I cannot understand what you're trying to say.

>>7881463
you missed the main point which is that the state can't legislate thinking because it can't tell what you're thinking

it's ideological to suggest the state is acting as thought-police. i'm not even a statist and i know this

do you honestly think 'legislating thoughts' is at all accurate to any law that has ever passed in the history of laws? do you think the interpretation of law goes by "well essentially if you censor free speech you censor thoughts!" or do you think it goes by the literal words of the law?

>you missed the main point which is that the state can't legislate thinking because it can't tell what you're thinking
And my point is that it can, in ways that aren't directly 'you will now think this'.
Certain kinds of thinking are opposed and legally persecuted and the fear of punishment makes people avoid spreading certain things and in term killing that way of thinking. This is now possible more than ever with mass media and supervision of personal communication
>it's ideological to suggest the state is acting as thought-police. i'm not even a statist and i know this
It's ideological to think the state shouldn't thought police, but seeing how it does in certain countries and certain areas through media and legislation isn't ideological at all.

Fuck off, dude.
You're a man. It is that simple.
Surely, you understand that you want to be a man because of chemical imbalance and upbringing. Throw in some other seemingly insignificant events that have happened to you over the course of your life, here you are... ''I'm transgender now, dad''

Trans people say the same shit as gay people. You know, ''It's not my fault I'm gay''... it's true they can't help it, but do they need to act on their fantasies?
The answer is no.
Being biologically faulty isn't and shouldn't be encouraged. We live to reproduce. Every single tiny detail about us is linked to finding a mate and reproducing in one way or another.
So right now, as of this moment in history (and it's been the same for thousands of years) reproduction is the meaning of life. You are failure in human form.

Also, where does it end then?
I can't help being a bank robber, a thief, a rapist, a killer?

Before you say ''But being gay or transsexual doesn't harm anyone''... Think about it.
You could argue that being gay is worse than murder, through the eyes of mother nature, or in other words... Survival and longevity.


You're entire existence can be simplified down into just a step in the direction which will ultimately lead to the fall of man.

It is still possible to believe in inferiority even when you are the inferior.
It is still possible to believe in survival of the fittest when you are not the fittest.
You just require a strong will.

It's your fault you don't understand the concept of thought control. Other anons and I seem to understand the term perfectly well and so has everyone else I've spoken to on the subject so it seems to me that the general meaning of the expression is very clear, unless you have a severe case of autism
>should i have just let you reach your dumb conclusions so you could keep your dick out for the next person to stroke it?
Well you didn't achieve anything as far as that goes so you might as well.
>still haven't been arrested by the way. will keep you posted
Tell me, if you were in a communist country that banned expression of national identity and pride and you wrote a short poem and were reported for it to the government and sent to an rocky island to move stones from one side to the other for 5 years, would you count that as an attempt to control the thought of the population?

if you took what you are saying to it's absolute conclusion you would be rallying against ideology in general rather than just the leftists and the communists. you'd be rallying against anything that you observe. you'd rally against the person who jokingly told you not to think of pink elephants

of course not because you've been (trying to) subtly change the argument from being about racism and xphobia to one about simply 'dissenting opinions' like those of a poet punished by a totalitarian state for his art.

No, I'm worried that being *called* racist when one actually isn't racist will destroy free speech eventually. Stop putting words in my mouth, asshole.
Also, yes, even racists should be allowed to express their opinion.
>>
>>7881607
>of course not because you've been (trying to) subtly change the argument from being about racism and xphobia to one about simply 'dissenting opinions' like those of a poet punished by a totalitarian state for his art

It isn't subtle at all and they are essentially the same thing, being uncommunist of the day is close to what is trying to be imposed on xphobias. There's no real difference between the couple who lost all they had because they didn't bake a cake or the grandparents whose grandchildren were given to two homosexuals and banned from seeing them and the poet who was sent to the gulag. It's the same type of political oppression and thought control. The fact that the opinion in itself is different and opposed to a different ideology changes nothing about the nature of the oppression.

>you're worried that racism will be erased and that's a bad thing because people will have less opinions to have.
I'm not, we literally don't have blacks here. Everyone is white.

Unless you're not a racist or a xenophobe, these views simply ARE dissenting opinions. Again, please see >>7881585

Hate speech is in sane countries calling for violence towards a specific group.
For example saying sodomy is unnatural is not hate speech. Saying we should maim all gays is hate speech.
>>
>>7881612
so you want to prevent people from calling others racist. sounds pretty free

>>7881613
>essentially the same thing
refusing to acknowledge the rights of others is basically poetry, yes
>>
>>7881621
Hate speech is any speech that provokes psychological distress in the victim. If a transphobic remark hurts a transgender person, the perpetrator should be jailed and liable to be sued for damages.
>>
>>7878867
>Congrats, you're now malformed and haven't been properly masculinized.
That just means you're a deficient male. It doesn't mean you are a woman. A table doesn't become an iPhone if one of its legs is crooked. Transgenderism is not supported by science or the application of basic critical though.
>>
>>7881628
'natural' is a politically loaded term. of course it's 'hate speech' to say some aspect of human behaviour that occurs and has occurred since it was first recorded isn't 'natural' because that's just an outright lie targeted at a specific group of people (forgetting lesbianism or hetero anal sex, or just the idea that not all male homosexuals engage in sodomy)
>>
>>7881629
All rights of all people in western societies are affirmed. Nowhere does the theory of natural law which is the basis for rights, and here I'm assuming you adhere to it as you mention rights, affirm that putting your dick in other men or demanding respect for dressing like a girl as a human right.
You as an owner can offer your services to anyone if they are not generic and refuse to others (so I must serve coffee to a transvestite, but don't need to bake a cake for a gay wedding considering its again my personal beliefs).
>>7881634
No it isn't. You are by your definition bound to pay me a fine because you are causing psychological distress in me with your aristotlephobia. You seriously hurt my feelings by denying categories and teleology of nature.

>>7881629
>so you want to prevent people from calling others racist. sounds pretty free
You can call people racist all you want. But I'm gonna call you out on it. As long as you don't pass laws that make it illegal to do so, we're perfectly fine. But laws like this exist all over Europe.

Also philosophically since it used to be the basis of western society with the natural law and all being affirmed since the great revolutions and after the great wars.

So if I said that fucking animals is bad and should be legally punished it would be hate speech because it's in your completely unideological view natural and happens between consenting goats or horses and men?

>>7881650
>Alright. And why shouldn't calling for gays to be killed be considered free speech again?
Because free speech and freedom in general is limited by the rights of others (here their right to safety for example as it could bring to violence in some cases)
>>

>consenting goats or horses

hmm

Actually the great and mighty country of America is making the difference, it isn't illegal to have sex with consenting animals. I'm aware that it's completely retarded and in conflict with larger legal theory, but hey, now you know, if the goat doesn't run away, she likes it and gives consent.

I'm aware of the abuse, but the problem is wider than the 4 lines of legislation of 'hate speech'. I think we shouldn't have that as an institution, but instead have calling for violence or offence of honour through lies or similar, less ideological institutes.
Hate speech is a bullshit term, but in some countries the legislation makes sense, or used to 15 years ago before the progressive shills took over everything, everywhere.
