to create a situation with zero black and white
wants someone to only give him a black or white answer
makes up a thing that has never happened
If you tell me this has never happened, you are my enemy
The only people who’ve “transitioned” babies were (cw: non-voluntary genital mutilation)
spoiler
doctors back in the day that would hack up intersex babies whose outward sex characteristics didn’t neatly match male or female to make them conform to one or the other.
Cisgendered culture is the only one who’s done this when nature poked a whole in their binary paradigm and they weren’t comfortable with biological reality.
My cisgender heterosexual parents (CW non voluntary genital mutilation)

Paid a doctor to mutilate my infant penis so it would better match cultural norms
I hate how the entirely reasonable opposition to circumcision has become so heavily associated with manosphere weirdos
It’s something that I hope grows, or at least most people start to just think about it a second before they do it. I don’t really hold resentment or anything over it, just one of those useless cultural things that is strange to say the least
If only it were just back in the day… its still happening now
Why is it that people can’t accept that transitioning is solely the interest of the transititioner and leave it at that?
It is not your body, it is not your responsibility, it is not your choice
Just fuck off and do something else, goddamn
I think in this case this argument doesn’t really work because the extent to which society trusts toddlers to make decisions about their own bodies is limited (and there’s obviously some good reasons for that, but it should be interrogated here). You know, same thing with kids getting tattoos, cosmetic surgery, etc. You generally don’t argue about this from the position that children ought to be able to do whatever irreversible thing as long as they want to, because almost no one agrees with that. Not that we shouldn’t allow some grace for letting minors make decisions about their health and their bodies even if their parents disagree, which is also a prerequisite for all children (but especially trans children) to be healthy.
If someone asked me, in good faith, if toddlers should be allowed to transition I think I’d answer back with another question, which is why are we imposing gendered behavior on toddlers in the first place? If the caricature that’s implied by the tweet, that of some activist parents who “trans” their toddler, is so abhorrent because it’s wrong to impose the wrong gender on their toddler, doesn’t it stand to reason that imposing gender at all is just as wrong?
Too many words, I hate you now
I just ninja edited it to add more. Sorry.
Y’know if you actually TALKED to a trans person and hear about their struggles, you’d come to understand that for some, transitioning at a young age can literally be life saving. Or you can make up people to get mad at.
As the previous owner of a number of toddlers, they don’t have a fucking gender. Their parents give them a gender long before they’re old enough to even wrap their tiny little brains around the concept. YOU’RE THE ONES PUSHING GENDER ON KIDS YOU FUCKING FREAKS.
I deleted my whole rant because it just feels so fucking obvious and directed towards someone who must be acting in bad faith because how else could you be so foolish. But I’ll keep this one line:
The only sex change operations done on toddlers are the ones forced on the intersex to fit social norms.
Being overly generous because he’s 100% acting in bad faith here, I imagine his point is that the rants you and I launch into when we see the bait are exactly what transphobes feed off of.
Toddlers frequently go out in public wearing Halloween costumes in March. Letting people play with and try on identities when they’re small is good, actually. Is that “social transitioning?” Is it social transitioning when your three year old nephew tells you he’s going to be a fire truck when he grows up? Should you sit him down and have a very serious and intense conversation about “traditional human roles?” No? Then fuck off about that same kid wanting to wear a dress or play with dolls or jump in the mud puddle or whatever dumbass thing you’ve convinced yourself has “gender implications.”
Should you sit him down and have a very serious and intense conversation about “traditional human roles?”
there are debatebro chuds who would absolutely do this to their kids
“transition a” transition isn’t a thing you do to someone.
Yeah I caught that too, how the fuck do you transition someone else…
forcefem (which is something that definitely happens irl at scale!!! trust me ive read dorley hall)
one of the first things someone asks me after learning that I’m trans is my opinion of children’s medical issues = we are not cool and you don’t have my back.
what a freak
His whole reasoning here is purely anti-intellectual. No, Mr. YouTuber, giving a simple “no” answer to a question that has multiple sociological and health dimensions isn’t a sign that you’re more capable of reason than someone who actually wants to chew on a hypothetical and figure out the contradictions at its core. Like, FFS, I thought cis white people loved playing Devil’s Advocate and reading into hypotheticals?
edit: I forgot he’s bi (?)
He makes entertaining videos. That’s about the only positive thing anyone can say about him. The thing that gets me about him is that he has mostly made videos about how irredeemably fucking evil the United States government is and then he still says he’s a patriot.
Totally believe him when he says he used to be addicted to benzos. His behavior bears it out.
Yeah not the first blatant reactionary thing he has said. A real John Fetterman.
Welp, there it is. Got the feeling something like this was coming ever since he put up that “virtue signalling twitter users represent the left and theyre responsible for fascism” video he put up a while back.
Fucking dissapointing.
Who is this? Whoever they are needs to get a hobby. I know posts like this are how they get their dopamine hits but it just makes them look weird.
If you don’t get mad at the things happening in my imagination that make me mad than we can’t be friends.
This is like the 100th tweet of his that proves that he sucks
He did a video with Nazi Pedo Sam Hyde lol
