I love this stuff

A group of parents of gender nonconforming children.Their philosophy is simple: if a boy plays with dolls, is quiet, doesn't fight or play with other boys -- it is unhealthy because he is not accepted by his peers. Therefore, it’s better to cut off his penis and as a girl he/she will make friends with other girls.
The group is led by Susie Green, who took her underage son to Thailand for a sex-change operation (so, now her daughter).
Obviously, the purpose of all this is to cut off penises, any whose penis, and everything else is just a specious excuse. Freud disassembled this garbage in detail a hundred years ago:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pe…The only surprising thing is not Susie’s rather trivial disorder, but the fact that people like her are no longer treated with vaginal massage or electroshock therapy.
30 years from now transgenderism will be equated to the popularity of lobotomy in the 1940s. I just hope to see that day with my genitals intact.
As a bonus, a transgender breaking down:
- There are 7.5 billion people on earth. There is bound to be a handful of crazies.inteliboy
- jesus, you go off on one here. freud's penis envy is the opposite of what you think... ie. wanting a penis (either physically or sexually)kingsteven
- its core to female hetrosexual development. parents should be locked up for putting their kids through reassignment surgery, totally fucked.kingsteven
- but the assumption that most surgeries fail and all transgender folks are mentally ill is daft and exactly what causes the activist outrage in the first place.kingsteven
- Not most are mentally ill , ALL are mentally ill by definition. Dude, 50% of trans people attempt suicide, they’re not stable, not even close._niko
- haha mostly due to victimisation you fucking dote even if no 50% = all somehow? i have trans friends that are the most intelligent, self-aware shitbags going.kingsteven
- i also know plenty of 'non-binary' reddit loving idiots i can totally imagine cutting their kids dick off. and come across mongs all the time in the process ofkingsteven
- choosing their gender when they shouldn't be allowed to choose their own shoes. as far as mental illness is concerned they're on a par with the rest of us.kingsteven
- Adult transgenders I can sort of deal with, but this new industry of "parents with transgender children" is exceptionally noxiousdrgs
- It's all part of the new trend in parenting, where the parents' responsiblity is completely removed (the modern "biological" approach to adaptation problems)drgs
- ie. if a child has social problems, is because he/she was born this way, and so you have new ways of treatment like sex-change etcdrgs
- I just hope the victims will eventually sue all transgender charities for propaganda of this trans hysteriadrgs
- i get that, but understanding chopping your dick off isn't a one-stop solution doesn't really require gloating over someone breaking down having done it.kingsteven
- i can totally get the kids that go on hormone blockers to aid a transition when they're adults (ie. not to rule it out for all cases). but certainly all thekingsteven
- trans folks i know came out as gay and struggled with that first, so, no matter what they decide to do with their bits have bigger balls than all of us.kingsteven
- Wait. You think this is all to satisfy everyone’s deepest desire to cut off penises? Think about how truly dumb that sounds. Seriously.monospaced
- Not saying I condone any of this at all. I seriously don’t. But trying to diagnose them with some sick thing that isn’t a thing. Cmon.monospaced
- Touche, I guess, it does not explain the f2m transgenders. Btw is it me or 90% of trannies are m2f?drgs
- offt, you really haven't thought about this much at all have you? things don't really equate across gender lines like that.kingsteven
- if anxiety and depression are both mental illnesses, wtf do you call wanting to transition to another sex? you don't think that's a mental illness?_niko
- because anxiety, depression are illnesses because they cause distress. where if you suffer from gender dysphoria transitioning is often the cure.kingsteven
- gender dysphoria itself being mutually exclusive from being transgender in that many trans people don't 'suffer' it and many non trans people do...kingsteven
- btw happy new year and i've gotta say i'm usually getting called a TERF sympathiser etc IRL when i venture in to talking about this shite... but lads a bit ofkingsteven
- understanding goes a long way... i'm sure you both are just posting your reactionary BS about something that doesn't concern you in the slightest... but y'knowkingsteven
- reactionary goes both ways.kingsteven
- If you like binge watching all series of "Human centipede", you will love this https://pholder.com/…drgs
- A new industry of selling crippling surgeries to mentally disabled people, but let's not talk about it. This I dont understand.drgs
- i agree that it is totally fucked but your point could be made without the trans stigma. you could argue the same point for all cosmetic surgery...kingsteven
- and over a quarter of all surgeries (not including cosmetic) are unnecessary, and often exploitative. its huge business.kingsteven
- drgs does it help to know that these people have to go through rigorous counseling, treatments and assessments for many months first?monospaced
- It’s not like they just walk in, throw money at a doctor and then walk out without penises while doctors laugh to the bank during lunch.monospaced
- Doctors take this shit seriously. They don’t want to do this for mentally ill people who aren’t makihn the right decisions.monospaced
- I assume you've all seen the recent news about some pro gamer who killed herself
https://www.thesun.c…drgs - Turned out she was pushed into a botched surgery for pennies in Thailand, by her team manager, and the only counseling she received was by manager's motherdrgs
- https://bit.ly/2SJ8i…
https://bit.ly/2ZOGB…drgs - ... and that's what happens when you reject expert medical opinions and the correct way of doing this. Same with anything.monospaced
- UK just found kids under 16 were being funnelled to puberty blockers and hormone treatment without any counselling, just on the kids or parents say-so.i_monk

- Still not sure why you called him an idiot except that you imagined him saying something stupid and reacted to said imagination.monospaced
- he thought I was an idiot because I shared all the tweets rather half of one, when I should've been reading the comments on said tweet but no link was provided.fadein11

- And of course there’s nothing offensive about it. That’s the pointGnash
- Not sure it was backpeddling per se, more a clarification of where he sits politically. More likely scared of becoming an accidental poster boy of the rightfadein11

On Facebook some page I'm following created a post that had the words "spirit animal" in it, and it was amusing how many people chimed in to point out only certain people can even use the phrase "spirit animal." Apparently it's offensive to some people of indigenous american descent, and they've declared the term theirs and theirs only. They even offered up "patronus" as an alternative. Really.
- Never thought I'd grow up to be a "reactionary" - being the radical lefty I've always been. But these kids with their "wokeness" have left me so far behind.Khurram
- I had a girl tell me she felt guilty getting a pinata for her niece's bday because it's "cultural appropriation" - are you mad???Khurram
- I couldn't be more proud that chicken tikka massala is the national dish of England. We're part of the FABRIC of this country.Khurram
- But some pathetic losers are determined to paint themselves as perpetual victims. The "others" that are having bad things done TO them for all history.Khurram
- Such a loser mindset.Khurram
- It's like that chick that told me that you can't be racist against white people because they're inherently part of the de facto power structure bla blaKhurram
- I'm like what about Jews??? They're white! "Oh well, you can't be anti-semetic against black people" - what??!?!?! You're just playing language games now. idiotKhurram
- Eternal victimhood, they make me sick. No wonder intellectually feeble "thinkers" such as Jordan Peterson have an audience of baying closet racists.Khurram
- I used to rail against people who had a problem with "PC culture". And now i have a problem with it. Who knew?Khurram
- And now this obsessions with having "diverse" cast on every period costume drama. You expect me to believe that there were that many black people...Khurram
- running around Elizabethan england? They just stick some negro with a thick Jamaican accent and call it diverse. "See look, we're diverse!"Khurram
- I'm meant to by into that? Sorry, i don't. It's bullshit.Khurram
- Especialyl when the hero (Tom Hardy) is portrayed as some Victorian gent whose best friend is a blackie.Khurram
- As if! The whole of victorian society is built on a scaffolding of racism and white supremacy. But to satiate modern audiences they stick one inKhurram
- And show how kindly he's treated by all the good white people. They have to do that, cos the white people are still the "heros" of the show so they have..Khurram
- to be seen to be nice to the blacks. That's just whitewashing history! Why? Because in 2020 we need to see more colored people on TV. Just fucking lies.Khurram
- Or maybe they have a point. I don't even know. I wonder how this cultural moment will play itself out. We're going to completely re-write British historyKhurram
- to show how tolerant we've always been, just because some black actors aren't getting enough parts in period dramas.Khurram
- btw- i identify as black. I'm part of the black experience.Khurram
- I used to think USA was sexist at work, but I started workin with UK office. Holy fuk so much sexism towards office women by men, no wonder they have word lawsrobotron3k

- also "the blacks." Get a sense of irony mono, i feel like you are missing it in your life :-/Khurram

- why people would be upset. But a lot of the time it feels like people simply want something easy to be upset about.ben_
- headdress thing is more of a "earned" cultural statues kind of thing. its like if someone wears a fake army medal, you can bet some people will go ape shit.pango

- she'd implodeben_
- however not all native people will get upset about the headdress thing cuz some are more intouched with their culture and some didn't grow up with their culturepango
- But hey, if she ever goes to Thailand she'll fit right in with her fork and will probably come back telling everyone something they don't know.ben_

- Do you feel appropriated when people say "you got pango'd"?ben_
- no. not particularly.
but it does get old.pango - ok, i get it, the native american experience is the only context I see where headdresses are demeaning and belittling of the genocide these people suffered.Khurram
- but pinatas? white people wearing corn rows? katy perry dressed as a geisha? come on. grow up!Khurram
- Ya pinata, corn row, geisha. People are trying too hard. Not sure what deeper meaning pinata has. You beat the crap out of this thing and candies come out forpango
- As far as I can see. Corn row ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . Katy Perry should look up what job description geisha had.pango
- But however, are they a wide spread thing or just something happened once or twice and people viral share on internet?pango
- Are they worth 1 minutes of you life to worry about?pango
- do non-asians using chopsticks in asian restaurants seem odd? are they the next target of cultural appropriation rage?lol_niko
- @pango - they use the term geisha. But much of that dress is just kabuki theatre, which David Bowie famously "appropriated" for his Aladdin Sane period.Khurram
- @_niko no. not at all. but if you struggle like a toddler using chopstick, then just use a fork. its awkward watching people struggle trying to eat.pango
- I'm going to Japan next month and in Osaka all the guides tell me to visit the "last surviving geisha neighbourhood". Maybe tell the Japanese tourist boardKhurram
- about what job they actually do/did?Khurram
- i think it is worth worrying about. Cancel culture has become a real phenomena. And this new thing called "purity spirals" are ruining people's careersKhurram
- you're at the table already for fuck sake. shouldn't have to work for it.pango
- I get where you're coming from. I'm on the left and I think there are much worse things happening on the right for us to worry about.Khurram
- But what Gnash said about the left feeding on their own is of real concern to me. Especially when it comes to issues around identity politics.Khurram
- not sure what this purity spirals is. i guess im not as woke.pango
- yes do tell them what you know about geisha. and tell us their reaction.pango
- I think it's a lot of bullshit, but then again my grandparents said the same things about the N word.Projectile
- 10 years ago I laughed at people finger wagging about headdresses, now I totally get it. If many native Americans say not to use, then ffs we should stop.Projectile
- Similarly, if it's fairly unanimous among them with the spirit animal thing, then maybe we can just get used to it. They've had a rough go of things, those folkProjectile
- Imagine your daughter got raped on her way home from school, and then the rapist was running around drunk at parties in a schoolgirl outfit for fun.Projectile
- Cos let's be honest, the British raped the everloving fuck outta the Native Americans.Projectile
- That said, I'm pretty sure they'd rather have their actual rights protected than some uber-woke hippies not saying "spirit animal"Projectile
- @pango - re purity spiral - i was listening to this radio4 program yesterday while this thread was happening: https://www.bbc.co.u…Khurram

- Using "spirit animal" is NOTHING like a rapist dressing like the schoolgirl he raped. "White" people today aren't the settlers from several centuries earlier.monospaced

This is just plain disgusting!deadsperm - They should be more sensitive to the current emotional state of our culture and refrain from posturing like that.deadsperm

Well said, Bill.PonyBoy - This needs to be said.Chimp
- He's right but china and wuhan specifically were the starting points of more than one virus so eventually it'll look like our file names chinavirus-v3.pdc_niko
- lol viruses come from china like shortstops come from the dominican republic_niko
- This is spot on!
Fuck you China!utopian - Well Bill Maher is a fairly xenophobic person, so this isn't really a surprise.wordssssss

- im fine with you calling it pango virus.
+1pango - It's a pointless debate because everyone is already calling it coronavirus or COVID-19.yuekit
- You're not going to convince the media to suddenly start referring to it as the "Wuhan I hate China foreverandever virus" or whatever the latest proposal is :)yuekit
- in south america they call it chinese virus "virus chino". But political correctness seems to be a first world problemhotroddy
- Then go cry about it hotroddy. Seriously who cares?yuekit

- Spanish flu started in the US, that's whyscruffics
- anyone but Bill Meyer would get fired for saying this.hotroddy
- Just call it the CCP Virus and be done with it. Not racist. Very accurate. We are in this mess because the CCP covered up and fucked it up.shapesalad
- Let’s not forget Dr Li Wenliang arrested by the CCP for raising the alarm about the CCP virus. The vaccine should be named in his honor.shapesalad
- I'm fine with that. Fuck CCPpango
- Still trying to work out if he was being ironic regarding Spanish flu? If not it's a useless rant if he doesn't even grasp basic history taught in school.fadein11
- You have one example out of many that is off, fade... that's not a lack of a grasp of history. An error? yes... However, His point is still solid.PonyBoy
- Possibly yep. The virus may be the least of our problems soon.fadein11
- What's next, fade? (not calling you out either...I genuinely disagree that one example cancels out his point—however I'm curious as to what u think is next)PonyBoy
- I am worried a major war is on the horizon. Some would say it's been planned for a long time. Agree his point is not invalidated, my bad, just loses somefadein11
- credibility. Amazed people are still arguing over the name of the virus over there. I guess Trump is partially to blame due to his general rhetoric.fadein11
- fadein doesn't get it. China's ideals are the antithesis of western democracy. They are the enemy and should be treated like an enemy.hotroddy
- Nonsense...many of the USA's biggest allies in the world are not Western democracies. For that matter, questionable whether the USA itself even respectsyuekit
- democracy. Iraq's parliament voted a couple months ago to kick us out, guess what we are still there.yuekit
- yeah Iraq wants to expel US troops to implement an islamic state. basically using democracy to turn into an autocracyhotroddy
- the only other 'big' ally that isn't democratic is Saudia Arabia and that's because they know a democracy would never work therehotroddy
- China on the other hand exports Authoritarianism. Hong Kong, Cuba, Nicaragua, North Korea and Venezuela are all case studieshotroddy
- Not at all true about Iraq. It was a clean vote to tell US troops to leave. You're just making stuff up.yuekit
- The only other ally that isn't democratic is Saudi Arabia...uh huh.
https://i.imgur.com/…yuekit - The US established a democratic gov't in Iraq. In a region people say isn't possible. Can't you give them credit for that?hotroddy
- oh the irony of Vietnam being on the list.hotroddy
- China and Russia are disruptive authoritarian forces in the world. It's a world view the west doesn't embrace whenever possible.hotroddy
- America's ideals fall in line with western democracy and will align itself to pluralism whenever possible.hotroddy
- China and Russia on the other hand couldn't give a shit about western principleshotroddy
- I'm supposed to give the US credit for an invasion that killed hundreds of thousands of people and that almost everyone now admits was a mistake?yuekit
- yes, they believe in democracy to a fault.hotroddy
- Same with Vietnam. Terrible war, millions dead for nothing. The communists beat us and stayed in charge, no one views them as a threat these days.yuekit
- but no one mentions when it goes right (ie. panama, japan, south korea, germany),hotroddy
- You honestly believe the USA went to war in Iraq for democracy? lol.yuekit
- Do you think Trump believes in liberal democracy? He doesn't even give lip service to it.yuekit
- Yes, Bush was stupid enough to think a western gov't would have a domino effect in the middle east. and he thought the oil would pay for the it.hotroddy
- I think history shows the opposite. The USA does not care about democracy, they care about control.yuekit
- Having the military base in Iraq is clearly more important than having democracy as that recent vote proves.yuekit
- Getting back to the point though...if we can coexist peacefully with communist Vietnam, a government we were at war with just a few decades ago, why does Chinayuekit
- have to be our enemy?yuekit
- Because china is a bigger influence in the world with a lot of $$$ threat to be a threat to democracies. Ask venezuelans, ask the Hong Kongese.hotroddy
- they don't value western liberties.. on the contrary they frown upon ithotroddy
- and ur right. Trump doesn't give a shit about democracy but we have strong institutions to keep him in check.hotroddy
- but these institutions are fragile and china doesn't give a rats ass about checks and balanceshotroddy
- China isn't running around the world trying to overthrow democracies. The fact that you're using Hong Kong as an example sort of proves the point...yuekit
- This isn't some foreign country China invaded. It's part of China that was handed back to them by a Western democracy, the UK, that had previously colonized it.yuekit
- Also, I do think things in China will change. The current generation isn't going to be in power forever.yuekit
- Hong Kong is an example what china is doing to it's own people. Venezuela is an example how they fund dictatorships and promote anti US rhetorichotroddy
- criticizing US foreign policy is fine but defending the CCP is too much for mehotroddy
- It's not going to change. it's going to get WORSE! Democracies will be a thing of the past very soon and china will have a big roll in it.hotroddy
- democracies are fragile. authoritarian political systems have always been standard throughout history.hotroddy
- The only threat to democracies I see is populist authoritarianism. I see zero chance of China influencing Western democratic systems or even caring about that.yuekit
- populist militant authoritarianism like china? Like MAO?hotroddy
- China is already influencing western democracies like Venezuela.hotroddy
- No I mean the current trend of electing shitty authoritarian leaders. USA and Europe did that all on their own, China had nothing to do with it.yuekit
- As long as USA democratic institutions stay strong it will continue to police the world even if it's out of self interesthotroddy
- just for the record as not sure if it was aimed at me hotroddy, at no point have I defended the CCP. Oh and what didn't I get, you may want to re-read myfadein11

Cut like a knife!
"Tonight was supposed to be the beginning of a tenancy of gigs at the @royalalberthall, but thanks to some fucking bat eating, wet market animal selling, virus making greedy bastards, the whole world is now on hold,"
- Lol. And PETA is backing him upGnash
- You left out the punch-line of his post, he ended it with “go vegan”Gnash
- who is Bryan Adams? All i know is he is vegan.capn_ron
- What?? Who is Brian Adams? Do you ever come out of your igloo?Gnash
- Some people obvoisly weren't around in 1991 when he was at number one for half the year with that bloody song.
Seems a fair point on this though.webazoot - He is also an Officer of the Order of Canada, sir. Good day!Gnash
- Oh. So this was a greedy move by the top level Chinese agents in a wet market. Gotcha you nobody.monospaced
- How’s that working out China? Moneys piling up now!monospaced
- He’s talking about the greed that drives people to treat animals like that. He barks the same way at the animal industry in the westGnash
- Just because you haven’t heard of him doesn’t make him nobody - do all American think like that?Gnash
- He is also a very well accomplished photographer http://bryanadamspho…grafician
- Did he criticize China and wet markets? If so what did he do wrong exactly?NBQ00
- If you hate racism, Show your support and eat a pangolinGnash
- Fuck this, the man is outstanding, he did no wrong. Canadians are no racistgrafician
- Oh I’ve heard of him. I called him a nobody just to fuck with you.monospaced
- I don’t know a single Chinrse person in Canada that a) doesn’t agree with him, b) is offended and c) isn’t the first one to cut up China and the ccp_niko

- Is she Uhura enough? I doubt she'd "need" to apologize to Star Trek fans. So many of them are surprisingly racist.CyBrainX
- Definitely not Uhura enough. But is anybody?dopepope
- It's weird having actors apologise for not being the actual person they portray. The studios could've picked another actress though.monoboy
- They seem to cast movies for box office certainty, not quality. It doesn't get made if you can't pitch a famous face.monoboy
