“Cis-Woman” is the new Other

Yes, I should have phrased it differently. Rather that “cis” is like a new form of othering that worsens the othering of women that has always been around

RoundFrog · 2020-07-19T19:01:32+00:00

You put it better than I did. It’s really sad that people (especially women) can’t see othering done to them and how it has such strong yet sly impacts. It’s a huge part of misogyny and yet it’s rarely talked about. I agree about Islam, the west is incredibly islamophobic.

Yeah it’s a very optimistic idea of the future. I imagine they’ll get even more money from all the detransitioners who transitioned physically and need to go back

I’ve only got 17 “insightful” things and the one reply so I’m not sure. Maybe it would be better to talk about autism on the main GC page so that ppl who don’t know a lot about autism are more likely to see things? But otherwise there could even be a little sub just for autism in general but it’s safe to talk about GC things there

Thanks, do I have to do anything in the waiting room?

RoundFrog · 2020-07-15T13:57:50+00:00

I have the same experience. And it’s bad because it’s way easier to transition than to even get on a waiting list to see a diagnostic team for autism. Which now I’ve thought of it is really fucked up

RoundFrog · 2020-07-15T13:56:10+00:00

I hadn’t thought of overlapping and similar disorders. I don’t know much about people who self-diagnose as autistic, I can see both sides of this. If you can afford/can easily access a diagnostic team then it would be wrong self-diagnose I think. However, in the uk where I am if you go through the nhs you can wait years to even see a specialist, and GPs tend to have outdated or lacking knowledge about it.

It’s sad because I see the appeal. Not of being trans, but of being part of a group and having a label that makes you a part of society. Because ngl it’s harder to function in society (like having a job) as an autistic person and for all disabled people in general. I feel like places in general cater more to the people with the loud voices like trans people than disabled people (especially wheelchair users for example). So I can see the appeal of being part of a group that is being catered to and listened to instead of standing up for yourself and having your voice drowned out.

RoundFrog · 2020-07-15T08:38:45+00:00

This is very true. The increasing amount of detransitioners will hopefully not be drowned out. And trans ideology is a lot like Scientology where they teach you are born with something wrong with your body which can only be fixed by paying for extensive programmes.

RoundFrog · 2020-07-15T08:33:29+00:00

I agree. I don’t think trans is a disability at all, you could maybe say intersex people, but the idea of being “born in the wrong body” is purely conceptual. The funny thing is, if there are really people out there who experience real body dysphoria, then there isn’t research being done to determine the exact nature of it because all the resources are diverted to transitioning and recruiting people. In order to function they have to have a loud voice that drowns out all discussion and dominates a space so there is no room for questioning (which is quickly banned).

RoundFrog · 2020-07-15T08:25:10+00:00

It is definitely true for me! I’ve been in an emotionally abusive relationship before so now I know more about how to spot manipulators. But it’s still difficult. And I see so many manipulation tactics by TRAs like gaslighting. Eg they will say “no one said lesbians have to sleep with trans women” but they do say it all the time.

RoundFrog · 2020-07-15T08:20:57+00:00

I agree. I find autistic people are really trusting. I can relate to feeling like “one of the boys” but not ever fully accepted by them as a girl, and that can easily be taken advantage of.

RoundFrog · 2020-07-15T08:17:27+00:00

This is an excellent point. The trans idea of transition being a fix-all for everything is appealing to autistic people. It’s actually close to suggesting a “cure” for an autistic person (which most autistic people are offended by). Especially since transitioning would in no way help an autistic person.

RoundFrog · 2020-07-15T08:13:49+00:00

Yeah, when I was a teenager I supported trans stuff because I trusted the internet to know what’s right and wrong (which is really bad come to think of it) and I didn’t understand complicated life issues at all. I can be very naive and trusting so for a long time I never questioned trans stuff.

RoundFrog · 2020-07-13T15:28:30+00:00

I read a de trans story recently where he said being in the trans discord was just a circle jerk of self hate, suicidal talk and toxic thinking that just kept being told was “valid” and never actually being helpful.

RoundFrog · 2020-07-13T15:17:47+00:00

That’s the thing about Marsha p Johnson! He was a GAY MAN and NEVER called himself trans. Ever. If you listen to interviews he gave, in his own words several times, “I’m a gay boy”. The TRAs literally misgendered someone for their own propaganda.
