The concept of social "validation" invalidates the trans ideology.

The nature of a person does not require validation.

Matt Walsh identifies this reality when he states, "Nobody has ever said, 'Hey Matt. You're a man.' ."

Everyone who is validating others is just playing along. They're enabling the delusions.

It's unnecessary. Reality doesn't depend upon people's opinions, and doesn't change based on what people believe.

It's funny when you ask them who they are when they're alone in a room/not being witnessed by others and they genuinely have to think about it for a second. Like they legitimately have their minds blown by the concept of non-narcissistic identities.

Each a victim of spiritual possession.
A parasite of their mind.

Ever confused, but never alone.

Spiritually damned.

and it runs up against the equally militant yelling "trans women don't OWE you femininity," explaining why that bellowing 6' 4" Tusken Raider or the lichen-bearded Ben Franklin lookalike is a realio trulio wombxn

(also that sounds like a self-own by Walsh lol)

Nobody has notified me that I'm a man. It's a given, since birth.

Also, I was born with pubic hair and a 4" baby Dingus.

You are a man. It's ok. I accept your reality as a man. You could really do better though. Have you considered being an attack helicopter instead? They are very cool.

My dingus is an attack helicopter.

The best of both worlds.

Damned if you do damned if you don't. Don't notice that the weird shy kid is dressing weird, transphobe, assume that he's changed his gender identity because he's dressing differently? Transphobe.

Most people with much social sense are just gonna eventually learn that ignoring it is the safe social move. In this case we've got some shy kid that clearly wants attention thinking that identifying as trans will fix his problems. But it seems like we've got s case of lonely shy kid who identifies as male before, lonely shy kid who identifies as female after. Nothing has changed. And nothing will change.

My judgement is the kid uses too much reddit and probably would be better off just disengaging from the internet entirely and engaging with real life more.

He'd rather chop it off, than give up the internet.

Gotta do those deep wilderness camping trips with no phone service. Forces the kids to social media detox. I keep proposing it as part of the mandatory curriculum, parents don't like it though.

I like it, making kids live like pre-industrial hunter gatherers for a week is pretty damn great. Their reaction when they find out where food really comes from is priceless. It's like pretty awesome from all sorts of subjects. Gotta use science, math, learn history first hand. It's excellent. But no the parents are against it just because they're kids might get eaten by a bear. Even though I've assured them that only the slowest kid will be. They won't listen! Why won't they listen!

Your right. Wet live in a fake world.

Young children play with barnyard animal toys, that most have never seen.

Honestly that sort of thing can be really beneficial for kids.

Touch grass but them actually doing it and realising the sky isn't falling just because someone on twitter was mean or w/e can be really helpful for their development and help them engage with the world around them.

Some of them might even find new hobbies! I know when I did camping with the guides when I was younger a lot of people fell in love with it. I remember being 10 and feeling really proud that we'd put the tent up ourselves with no adult help. That we'd go make dinner next. I know at least one girl there who fell in love with mycology. We didn't pick any back then ofc cause who trusts a ten year old to know what ones are safe or dangerous when they can look very close. She now does talks/rambles on it and loves pointing out different ones. Same with foraging in general where she'll talk about what berries are safe and what to not risk it on.

Even something small like a day out at the farm where you can get your own milk/collect your own eggs or fruit/veggies can be really enriching.

My country doesn't have bears though. But every kid that did those days always really enjoyed it back then.

You can tell that he was clearly expecting a celebration of some sort once he showed up in his new look, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that he had a short list of names (all female) that he specifically wanted validation from.

Here's the problem with normalizing your attention getting strategy.

[–]UncleWillard56 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Correct. Straight people have been living their lives without social validation for the entirety of human history.

The back-edge of normalization.

Wenn wir die Umstürzler nicht mit Gewalt dazu zwingen, uns anzuerkennen, haben wir nichts. Das Cis-Ungeziefer kann unsere Forderungen nicht ignorieren. Wir werden sie zwingen, uns zu erkennen. Wir werden sie zwingen, uns etwas zu sagen. Und wenn sie nichts Positives sagen, dann werden wir zurückschlagen. Wir werden sie in den Schulfluren bekämpfen, wir werden sie in den Damentoiletten bekämpfen, wir werden sie bei den Sportveranstaltungen für Mädchen bekämpfen. Und wenn wir uns allein und umgeben von Menschen wiederfinden, die uns nicht wahrnehmen wollen, weil sie mit ihrem eigenen Leben beschäftigt sind, dann werden wir uns ganz offen und proaktiv verteidigen. Wir müssen uns zusammenschließen, um unseren Gefühlen Nachdruck zu verleihen, nicht nur um unserer Sicherheit willen, sondern auch für die Sicherheit der queeren Rasse und eine Zukunft für Trans-Babys. Wir müssen kämpfen, wir müssen uns vereinen, wir müssen die Welt erschaffen, die wir anderen durch feurige, aber meist friedliche Proteste aufzwingen wollen. Alles andere ist unhaltbar... nein, es ist inakzeptabel.

Lol. I mean I could feel sorry for this person because he obviously thought he'd obtain some sort of existential nirvana upon socially transitioning, and then he discovered it's a pipe dream and changes nothing. I could feel sorry for him but I don't.
