Psychology Today: People Refusing To Date Transgenders Is ‘Dehumanizing’

a reply to: ElectricUniverse

Oh dear... there is soooooooooooo much wrong with this! But I was still rather taken aback by this:

Looking more closely at the patterns of responses, it also became clear that individuals were least likely to express an interest in dating trans women, even if their sexual identity would otherwise indicate an interest in women. Indeed, nearly 20% fewer people indicated an interest in trans women than would have been expected based on the sexual identities of the individuals within the sample.

Expected? Why would anyone have an expectation about someone's dating/sexual preferences? Well, unless one truly believes that a transwoman is really a woman.

Lesbians have been dealing with this for a long time.... maybe they've decided it's time to shame men into role-playing for their sexual fetishes as well. That would be the ultimate validation for their fetish to be seen and treated as a "woman."

Specifically, I am referring to men who identify as women... but are still attracted to women... and are calling themselves lesbians... and demanding lesbians do away with their "cotton ceiling" that excludes men identifying as women from their romantic/sexual relationships. Beyond just calling these women transphobes and bigots and TERFs, they've actually called lesbians "vagina fetishists" and other dehumanizing terms.

Indeed, I would say that the Trans Activists reducing women to body parts and functions -- such as "bleeders" and "gestators" and "uterus-havers" -- is far more degrading and dehumanizing than anyone saying, "No, thank you" to a date for any reason.

I was wondering when you'd be along to add to this thread. A typically great post by you, albeit one which has put me off eating for a while...

Little Girl Traumatized as School Teaches 6-Year-Olds ‘There Is No Such Thing as Girls and Boys’

A Canadian family has filed a civil rights complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario after their six-year-old daughter became overtly confused when her first-grade teacher taught the class to question their gender.  In January of 2018, the child was required to watch a YouTube video titled, “He, She and They?!?—Gender: Queer Kid Stuff #2.”  It contained statements such as, “some
people aren’t boys or girls,” and that there are people who do not “feel like a ‘she’ or a ‘he,'” and therefore might not have a gender. In an exclusive story, The Post Millenial, reports that two-and-a-half months into the semester, Jason and Pamela Buffone could see the teacher’s lessons on gender theory were having a severely negative impact on their daughter.  She would ask them repeatedly why her identify as a girl was “not real.” The young girl had never had a problem at school and her mother told the newspaper she “adores school.”

This kinda stuff makes me sick!

And is one of the many reasons why I'm not putting my kids in any public school systems.

When it's time for them to go to school I will just home school them.

Wake up people

Disgusting and stomach revolting. I don't know who is pushing this agenda and for what reason but this insanity and perversion has to end. Enough with this transgender bs. 0.1% of population cannot call the shots for the rest of 99.99%.

By that same logic, a gay man who refuses to date a straight woman is also dehumanizing her, right?

Thank you... I tend to spend evenings with my hubby, so yeah, I'm late to the party!

Sorry about that. But I understand! The more you know the less you want to know, eh?

For many of us, attraction is based on biological sex, not gender identity.

Asking us to change this for the convenience of others is like demanding that gay men date biological women.

If they want to be allowed to be who they are then surely they must also do the sane for us?

I'm still only half-way through reading "Where Did I Come From", but I'll catch up.

No spoilers, please...

a reply to: Rewey

No worries from me...

Good luck -- I hear that's quite an intense read

a reply to: CthruU

Even though you at times reprimand my views - i have never been more proud of a mods response.

Well, thank you... but I speak here as a member, not as a Moderator.

I know I probably come across as cold and impersonal at times... it is not intentional, just my way of distancing myself from potential bad situations. There is a person under this shell, and yes, I do care. A lot.

Shocked, no. Can't wait for their next issue when then lambast parents for not letting pedophiles have sex with their children. You're not a good parent if you don't let Pedophiles express themselves with your kids, says Psychology Today.

a reply to: ElectricUniverse

They can call me whatever they want to, I refuse to date a transsexual. These people aren't psychiatrists, they're psychotics and belong a nut house so they can imagine living in their own little world. F#cking idiots.

a reply to: continuousThunder

Wow, what a victim response. I couldn't care less who thinks it's dehumanizing not to date someone who chose the life they chose. I have the exact same interests and views on everything as my best friend and I can assure you I'd never date him because I'd never date another guy. How stupid. The hypersensitivity you wear on your sleeve is the reason we have harebrained psychiatrist wannabes telling us it's dehumanizing to say we'd never date a tranny. Good luck getting more than 10% of the country to agree with their assessment.

a reply to: ElectricUniverse

Before you know it it will be illegal to date any natural born man or woman with the way this jacked up world is going. People are already being jailed for using the wrong pronouns in some countries!

We have done this to ourselves. The day we allowed "political correctness" to rule first our media and then our governments we gave away our rights to our own opinions and lifestyles. They say that the squeaking wheel gets greased and it is time to either put away the grease gun or start squeaking louder than the PC minority!

For many of us, attraction is based on biological sex, not gender identity.

Sexual attraction is based on prehistoric, genetically wired triggers that signal good health and fertility in the people we're attracted to.

Good teeth(for men and women). A full head of thick hair(in men; in women it's ''expected''), signficative height in men, and that's relative to the culture the woman is part of. If you are an Iraqui woman, a 6 feet tall man is a giant. If you are a dutch that dude is pretty average.

Broad shoulders(in men) low body fat, high cheekbones, deeply-set eyes. To name a few physical characteristics that trigger sexual desire in women.

Some dude who changed into a woman and is now 5'7'' 110lbs with high cheekbones and long, thick hair, full lips and straight white teeth is going to make me feel sexual attraction, even if I know the woman was a man before I met her. Because my genes don't think, dude.

It's funny how lately we've been getting a lot of threads on Above Top secret bashing the LGBT community, talking down the transexuals and homosexuals and the Muslims but funny how I have never seen a topic on above top secret talking about how we need to shame the people who are overweight or obese into becoming normal-looking, healthy people, as to stop the strain they put on the economy, the medical institutions, and how unappealing they are as a whole.

My parents used to show me videos of pictures of how people in America were back in the 80's and 90s. The average person looked like a long-distance runner. Now the average person looks like Jabba The Hutt grew a couple of legs and now can grow body hair.

That's sad. We need to change that! We neeed to stop the political correctness of ''large women are attractive'' hell no they aren't. Come to freaking Ibiza and tell me if the women here are larger than trucks!

Ths is simply an escalation of an estabilished idea among the leftists. Its not enough to be tolerant of the binary, you must accept them into your lives and support them. Same thing with the gay people. Not enough you tolerate them in your midst, you must support them by wearing the rainbow pin in June at work.

I dont hate these people, but that isnt enough for them; I am a bigot because I dont go out of my way to support them . But thats o.k. with me because I pretty much just stay out of their way anyway.

Its really just all about normalizing the abnormal and justifying hatred of the cisgendered and shaming them into accepting the abnormal into their lives. And of course the cisgendered must by corollary, accept and comply with the idea that its o.k. for children to be subjected to gender reassignment treatment without parental consent.

And in another thread, the OP asks, "Is America on the moral decline?".

...

and this is why I no longer date.

I guess that makes me someone who dehumanizes all humans...heh.

a reply to: TheRedneck

I remember when you joined and we're still just a member. Has been over a decade now, and I still don't view you any different. You're always going to be a logical and cool dude in my book.

I can admit though, I never liked being treated differently here because I once had a moderator tag by my name and was treated harshly for having an opinion.

It's not easy to do, but has to be done.

Members need to realize that mods are members too, they just have extra responsibility is all.

So, my word to those reading this; don't treat the volunteers like garbage because they have an opinion.

"Mods are people too."

Remember that thread?

And imagine the chilling effect this will have on the High School and College age pool of potential "daters".

And honestly, that may just be the entire point of this. Its already the case that a white girl is considered a racist if she doesnt accept the invitation of a black guy to the Prom. So fewer and fewer people go to the school proms and instead go to off campus private Proms.

And college? Fugitaboutit, an unintentional brush of the hand against a wrist when openning a door is considered sexual assault.

It's funny how lately we've been getting a lot of threads on Above Top secret bashing the LGBT community...

Hmmm... I haven't seen one thread bashing the LGBT community. I have seen (and have posted) many threads about the unacceptable and outrageous political demands of the Trans Activists, from self-ID to medicalizing children, which cause harm to many. Most of us are quite happy to "live and let live." Most of us are quite happy to say, "you leave me alone and I'll leave you alone." And that's the problem: The few are demanding too much from the many, harming too many in the process, and trying to shame and vilify those who refuse their demands.

...talking down the transexuals and homosexuals and the Muslims but funny how I have never seen a topic on above top secret talking about how we need to shame the people who are overweight or obese into becoming normal-looking, healthy people, as to stop the strain they put on the economy, the medical institutions, and how unappealing they are as a whole.

Fat people aren't making the same demands of society though. Fat people aren't telling anyone that we're bigots and fatphobes and dehumanizing them if we don't date them. Fat people aren't complaining about the "fat ceiling." Fat people aren't demanding cosmetic surgery and special accommodations on our dime. Fat people aren't demanding that we respect children's "fat identity" and feed them more sugar and fat and junkfood on our dime. Fat people aren't demanding that we use special pronouns and salutations when speaking to/about them.

Big big difference. Any time and every time someone tries to force their will on others, there will be pushback. It's just the nature of the beast.

Ths is simply an escalation of an estabilished idea among the leftists. Its not enough to be tolerant of the binary

Yes, that is true.


The leftist over the span of the last 2 decades has been trying to feed into the American subconscious that obesity is natural and that having a healthy, youthful, trim body is impossible. That those things are only able to be had by hollywood stars and by spending all of your time inside a gym.

They're trying to blind you to the true sickness that plagues the western world. Not the transexual and homosexual threat lmao, there are so very few of them. No, the real threat is the destruction of the American beauty and Physical Splendour. Once upon a time, the majority of kids would spend hours outside of his parents house, playing baseball, playing basketball, running from place to place, making himself strong and healthy and full of vigor.

Now, the majority of dudes spend all day inside of their parents house watching porn, eating Mcdonalds and getting more and more obese. We need to change that!

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

MAKE AMERICA THIN AGAIN.
