Mr Beast sidekick cycled through the trans to outed pedo pipeline at warp speed. Genuinely think a lot of male pedos know something is drastically wrong with them and get the idea that doing something as drastic as transitioning will somehow relieve the pressure. It's like they start getting the itch to wear their paraphilia on their sleeve and finally out themselves somehow and trans is the most socially acceptable way to do that.

Also going from dime a dozen disgusting pedo guy to protected minority/ vulnerable "trans girl" must feel like the purest crack. I could imagine them finding some relief in believing that like "ohhh this is what's wrong with me, I'm not bad I'm just secretly a girl"

i think people who have a very “oppression olympics” type mindset where privileged and oppressed are a strict dichotomy where privileged = bad and oppressed = good are susceptible to perpetuating other types of bigotry than those they are affected by because they have an instinctive rejection of anything that could in any way imply they have some type of “privilege” (and thus are part of the Bad group)

I’m always amazed and humbled every time I come across a piece of writing that so perfectly and succinctly predicted the future. It proves to me there is clairvoyance in art. Heller wrote this in the late 1950’s. It was published in 1961.

“It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.”

Joseph Heller, Catch-22
