The person who they used to be, the self they loathed, is gone. <br /><br />When they switch genders the trans teen gets a new name, new haircut, new wardrobe, new pronouns, plus a brand new 'woke' identity that makes their peers at school much much more friendly than they were before (NOBODY wants to be labeled as 'transphobic'). Their old self is dead and gone.

But it also implies that Civilization itself is Transgender while a lone wilderness survivor is the true alpha male. It reminds me of the Pope in his girly robes and a herd of people surrounding him seeking words of comfort and wisdom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-30232931234100513872018-09-15T18:52:32.585-07:002018-09-15T18:52:32.585-07:00My take on the basis of transgender anxiety and su...My take on the basis of transgender anxiety and suicides ----<br /><br />Somewhere along the line in early childhood a boy perceives his environment as unsafe. All humans really ever want is the peace of mind that comes from feeling safe. So, for what ever reason our young lad perceives that he is unsafe and he sees that girls (sisters, other female family, schoolmates, media images etc.) are treated with deference and are kept safe.<br /><br /><br />So, the mental illness takes full flight and the boy decides its safer to be a girl. Now, it is not JUST being a "girl" but being a girl who can attract and keep an alpha male protector.<br /><br />Now there is a lot of stress because of not fitting in and the overt and covert shaming.<br /><br />So, here is the unresolvable dilemma - the shemale desires an alpha male "mate" and protector (and sugar daddy) but the only males that are usually available to them are overtly gay guys who do not fit the bill for a manly man protector. Its hardly ever going to happen. And as time goes on, our shemale starts losing looks and the picture gets dimmer and dimmer.<br /><br /><br />Add to all that, there is often the necessity for turning to prostitution to pay for all the medical processes involved with sex change. And rarely is there an alpha to pick up the bill.<br /><br /><br />So a basic distrust in the safety in the world and the realization that the man of their dreams is never really coming can lead to real despair and suicide. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-51658076435300419762018-09-15T09:25:00.627-07:002018-09-15T09:25:00.627-07:00Those damned Republicans are pushing this!!
