Ladies, I Don't Think You Understand How Little Validation Men Get. Like, Women Will Get Compliments

Ladies, I don't think you understand how little validation men get. Like, women will get compliments just for being a woman. You'll get validation for being a certain gender. That's an amazing thing, that's a crazy thing.

Like, men will get hated on just for being men. Understand that men will get their first flowers typically at their funeral. They get very few compliments over the course of the year, genuine compliments. And they get almost no validation in their relationships. It's usually about their women, their female.

Women are flooded with attention, compliments, positivity, you know, from a young age. And that's an amazing, beautiful thing. But you guys gotta understand, like, men don't really get that. And that's why when you compliment a guy, it lights him up. Men really, like, go through a lot of stuff. Men are expected to provide support, take care of themselves with no reassurance from the world whatsoever. It's very difficult sometimes for men.

A man will remember the time ten years ago when someone told him that his sunglasses were cool.

I can see your point of view on people getting gender-affirming surgery at a young age and how that could be harmful for some. But how is socially transitioning as a child or adolescent harmful? If I want to be referred to as a he at school, how does that hurt people?

And what are you doing on the queer website if you don’t like queer people, anyhow?

"what are you doing on the queer website if you don’t like queer people, anyhow?"

Well, there was no sign on the door saying that on the way in. Are you sure you don't mean Grindr?

Besides that, your use of that term (which many gay people find offensive) illustrates a problem with the present situation: it used to describe men who desired men or women who desired women - in other words, sex-based sexual preference - but in recent years it has been widened to encompass people with medical conditions like gender dysphoria, and people who have been surgically mutilated, and a thousand other whims and fancies, which is obviously an entirely different thing from the original meaning, and now actively works against sex-based sexual preference, i.e., with trans activists demanding lesbians give blowjobs or else be labeled "transphobes", etc. Which is why so many gay people are now wanting the LGBs to divorce from the TQ+2SJKLMNOPs.

"how is socially transitioning as a child or adolescent harmful?"

There's a bunch of answers to that one, but the previously mentioned story of David Reimer is a good example. Also, many of the people now attempting to detransition as best they can report that once they "socially transitioned" as children / teenagers, they were fast-tracked into hormones and surgery, and because they had made such a public show and built their identities around being trans, they didn't feel able to get off the train that had by then been rolling for years.

Beyond all that, children cannot and should not be making long-reaching, life-altering decisions while they are still growing, changing and lost in play.

If a 6-year-old wants to pretend they're a bear, and the rest of the family go along with it, there's unlikely to be any noticeable harm. But if those parents were to go to the child's school and demand the children and staff there all only refer to their child as a bear, rather than a human, and change the child's passport to an animal passport, and take their child to a vet rather than a doctor, and so forth and so on, a great deal of harm would likely be done to that child's natural development and future life: their education would suffer, along with their health, their social skills, their understanding of actual reality, their work options, etc., and by the time they outgrew that phase, they would in every way be in a worse situation than the other children at their school who had none of that done to them.

One could write a book of all the other reasons to be concerned about the present craze - the massive explosion of social contagion amongst teenage girls, etc., but hopefully that's enough to be going on with.

O lightless creature… Embrace thine oblivion, as shall I.
