<p>>sexist alt-right meme<p>Don't make me laugh. "Alt-right" is a stupid, nonsensical term made up by news corporations to serve as a convenient boogeyman, and the meme itself isn't sexist in the slightest. Elevated estrogen levels in men ARE detrimental for numerous reasons. This has nothing to do with women, period.<p>Soy is associated with elevated estrogen levels because of phytoestrogens. Whether or not they actually affect the human endocrine system isn't clear, but you can't deny the customers of Soylent products all share... similar traits.</p>

<p>A different version of "Soyboy" which itself is based off of the "Nu-Male" meme. Defining traits of a "Nu-Male" include (but are not limited to):<p>- A lack of masculine and mature traits (Excessively self-conscious, weak-willed, a canvas for [Current trends], potentially narcissistic)<p>- Beard-and-glasses aesthetic (Also previously known as the "Hipster" style)<p>- Terminally online and outspoken. Slacktivists<p>- Usually (but not always) "Leftists" with pronouns in their bio, LGBT+, BLM, Etc.<p>- Usually (but not always) white, male, and lives in urban areas (Portland, New York, SF, Etc.)<p>- Tries to come off as more intelligent than they usually are. Lacks perspective of the world at large.<p>And there is no shortage of these kinds of people on social media and in large technology-oriented organizations and corporations.</p>

<p>>Unfortunately, we just couldn't back down from the demands to have a discord server<p>Except you could've, and still can. People need to learn how to adapt. There's no reason a Discord server is necessary for distributing and discussing anticheat software. Thousands of much larger, more important projects are doing just fine without Discord™ servers, and part of it is the people with influence putting their feet down at the mention of Discord, a glorified spyware platform populated with the socially deprived. Discord is rarely ever a key piece of infrastructure necessary for advertising and documentation for the majority of projects that have one attached to themselves.</p>

<p>>Experts<p>Give me a break.<p>The headline aside, people are absolutely going to grow closer to technology as it becomes more generally useful, its simply a matter of efficiency. Lots of people already live their lives being guided around by the invisible algorithms powering search engines and social media websites. The levels at which sites like Youtube and Twitter control peoples perception is insane. We're lucky that the people running them are too incompetent to make use of their personalized curation functions fully.</p>

<p>The terminology is not perfectly serviceable. Note how in my previous post I referenced his experiment, calling it a complete failure. The term "gender" came into existence because Money believed that a biological male could be "socially female" through surgical intervention and social influence. That obviously didn't work because the child refused to believe he was female and eventually committed suicide, as did his brother who was forced into sexual intercourse with him. This is what "gender" is based off of. Male and female roles have been dynamic throughout human history but both sexes maintained distinct sex-related behaviors from one another despite this fact.<p>>Everyone in that video is more covered up than any woman at the beach, and if innuendo that kids won't understand is unacceptable to you, then basicly every animated kids' movie from the past twenty years would disagree.<p>The human body isn't inherently sexual, as evidenced by ancient humans and various current societies, so its not a matter of coverage but rather a matter of context and purpose (of the particular types of clothing used in that video). You are either extraordinarily ignorant, malicious, or both if you don't think that men dressed up as sexual versions of women along with sexual innuendo "It's not gonna lick itself" on the wall in a bar/nightclub is a bad place for children to be.<p>>Please go read these statistics...<p>>Here's another study for you to read...<p>There are so many problems with simply linking individual (confirmation-bias-fueled cherry-picked) studies that I'm not even going to bother touching this.<p>The big "seeing the forest rather than the trees" idea that needs to be known is that mental illness is rampant in trans people and communities (aside from the transgenderism itself) and suicide rates are extremely high. "Neo-vaginas" do not have the same faculties as a normal vagina to maintain their cleanliness and will attempt to heal themselves over time unless dilated (As they are nothing more than glorified puncture wounds). Those that manage to de-transition rather than committing suicide are overwhelmingly regretful and suffer from numerous health-related issues.</p>

<p>Trans people and trans-friendly people subscribe to his research though, which is the issue. John Money was responsible himself and only himself for what he did. Its obvious that his experimentation was cruel and a complete failure, so with that in mind why use his completely bogus, stupid term "gender" to describe (validate) themselves and human sexuality?<p>>I've seen some accusations like this. Every time, the drag show has turned out to be completely G-rated, and they're offended at the lie that they would expose children to sexual acts. In many cases, it was the act of drag itself that was the supposed "sexual element".<p>>turned out to be completely G-rated<p>Like this one with "It's not gonna lick itself" and men in fishnets running around? <a href="https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/dallas-family-friendly-kids-drag-show-mr-misster-protest/287-c7984c66-6141-4690-97b1-ec0b9882b4bb" rel="nofollow">https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/dallas-family-friend...</a><p>>Genital surgery for transgender people has one of the highest satisfaction rates of any surgery of any type.<p>This so laughably bad and false that you should feel ashamed for having said it. Please go read <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/detrans/top/?t=all" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/detrans/top/?t=all</a><p>An Appendectomy is what I'd expect to fall under "surgery with one of the highest satisfaction rates", not a festering "neo-vagina" that requires lifelong dilation and will never function similarly to a real vagina while the rest of the (now malfunctioning) male sexual system is still present.<p>>We do not "validate" people with schizophrenia like that because it does not improve their happiness or well-being.<p>And its the exact same case with trans people. The suicide statistics, r/detrans testimonies, and general trans lifestyle problems are not testaments to "We do affirm transgender people in their identity because it does improve their happiness and well-being". Its obvious that "validating" them is only a minimal, temporary solution, if even that.</p>

<p>>The public dialogue around trans lives is one of very little empathy, respect, or civility.<p>And I wonder why exactly this is the case...<p>Something something <i>"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"</i><p>With all of the insanity stemming from trans people and loudmouths in the LGBT community both online and in real life, I don't blame people for losing their empathy and respect for them. If you're legitimately clueless as to what I'm referring to, look into child drag shows, censorship, the invasions of women-only (XX chromosome) spaces, legitimate cases of grooming occurring on platforms like Discord, and their generally insufferable attitudes towards people that don't perfectly align with their beliefs.</p>

<p>Because they think of themselves as special snowflakes above criticism. Its absolutely fine if <i>they</i> make fun of "the straights", but the second you point out things like the word "gender" being coined by a pedophile called John Money whos human test subjects eventually both committed suicide, or that sending children to drag shows with very obvious sexual elements and undertones is evil, or that chopping off their penises or breasts won't help them and instead creates chronic illnesses and increases depression, you're literally the devil and deserve to be fired from your job, banned from social media, and if they had their way, sent to the mines.<p>We don't "validate" people suffering from schizophrenia by telling them that their trees are indeed talking to them about the little green aliens in their attic, so why "validate" other mental illnesses in similar ways?...</p>
