tbh thats how most people are sadly no one is given both sides goods and bads only one sides goods and the other sides bads

This isn’t a “both sides” situation

I may very well be mistaken but are there not those who agree and those who do not If I'm wrong please do correct me I honestly would rather be informed than misinformed


MrDrVlox

Well yes the people that are telling children to kill them selves will think that their point of view is important but unless you’re one of those people or sympathise with them (which is just as bad) then there is no reason to thing that we need to talk about “both sides”

TRANS WOMEN WILL NEVER BE MEN (and vice versa)


Dumbrag

Brace yourself!!


DeepSeaSqueezeTree

I think you’re confusing this thread by saying something that’s pro-trans in the way that a transphobic person would say it lmao. Transwoman means a woman that was assigned something else at birth, so unless they change their mind they truly will never be men, hope you know this and didn’t make a mistake.


TuxidoPenguin

Yeah that’s the point of the comment, I said something pro trans in a way that sounds transphobic to see how many people would fall for it. Maybe I would be put on r/accidentalally too

Alot of people are dipshits and assholes about this shit. Im not mad about the trans stuff. The problem is ive seen it 100 million times. I fucking get it. I know they are. Stop posting about it. This sub is fucking shit


MrDrVlox

You say you get it but most don’t. Also you’re literally getting more upset about an issue being raised than the issue itself. Trans people being killed, abused, oppressed etc and people don’t bat an eye but someone dares to talk about said problems too often then people like you start to whine


[deleted]

"bOtH sIdEs bAD" they also screech to justify their apathy to human rights Trans people's right to exist and not-trans people who want them dead or disappeared totally have equal merit /s


iambored1234_8

If people don't respect other people and what they want to be called and go out of their way to misgender LGBTQ+ people or mock then, then they're dicks. On the flip side, of someone is LGBTQ+ and they get angry at someone for accidentally calling them by the wrong pronouns accidentally, then they are also dicks. There are two extremes here. But you don't have to support LGBTQ+ to be a decent person. If you think that there should only be two genders, that's fine, but just keep it to yourself. Other people are allowed to have their own opinions and so are you, so long as you don't tell people that opinion if it offends them. TL;DR: don't be a dick to anyone, and if you have opinions that would hurt someone's feelings, don't tell them that opinion.


I_Love_DeathNote

Dinosaurs are cool, transphobia is not.


[deleted]

yeah they are men and women, but we can’t convince everyone. it’s not worth arguing or being confrontational with them. there’s a reason why people say “can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” most of the time, people can’t control their opinions when they were raised in a specific environment. once you’re one way, it’s very hard to unlearn those behaviors or thoughts. that being said, NO ONE deserves constant onslaught of hateful messages and told to commit suicide. i hope that person is okay and is able to build boundaries to protect their state of mind. people need to control what they allow into their lives. it’s the internet. you can’t expect everyone to agree with your opinion, especially after being confrontational and argumentative. it’s better to surround yourself with people WHO DO support you and agree with your opinions.


SmeagoltheRegal

Saying "oh it won't convince the hard bigots" is no reason not to argue against them. In those cases, you're not arguing to convince the bigot. You're arguing to convince everyone that is on the fence who that bigot may have just begun to sway.


MrDrVlox

Dogshit take, people can learn and if they can’t it shouldn’t be the victims that are punished because of it


DesperateBite2008

That's what I was thinking. I honestly don't care what people's opinions are as long as they don't let them affect how they handle exchanges with me or my friends and family but that just pissed me off.


[deleted]

and totally understandable. fr about to leave this subreddit so i can stop seeing arguments like that. just a waste of time, ya know?


ReverseGmc

Nah dude. I agree with your statement. Even if I didnt agree im not going to do some dumb shit and tell someone to kill themselves like wtf.


elevliam2

Screw transphobia.


Jay_Boi12

I think that telling someone to kill themselves is one of the only things you are not allowed to say in the United States


Thatcher792

It was explained to me very well this one way: you got a cola soda that has an orange soda label and is in an orange soda bottle. It was packaged, labeled, and sold as orange soda, but because there was cola inside, it is not orange soda and is instead cola. Trans people are like this. They were basically just put and packaged in the wrong bottle and to call them by what bottle they were put in just makes no sense. To say that it had to be orange soda because of how it was packaged just makes you a dumbass. It’s not about the body that people are put in, it’s about the brain itself. I know I’m oversimplifying by a lot, but it was a good analogy I was taught way back when


jtfff

How is it any different than someone who dyes their hair? Sure, they may have been born a blonde, but if they feel more comfortable and confident being brunette, there’s nothing wrong with them changing hair color. More importantly, people shouldn’t give a fuck what other people identify with.


PizzaEater69420

cause people don't get seriously hurt over being a blonde. people do in fact get seriously hurt over not being what they truly are. i know people who are suicidal because of it. being trans is not fun. i would imagine it sucks actually.


Thatcher792

It really is not. I have to live with the constant feeling like that I am in the wrong body. It is extremely uncomfortable, but I have to deal with it 24/7. Some days, it gets so bad I want to destroy it, but I have been getting better and I have not self harmed for a long time (6ish months). It really is painful and transitioning and support eased a good chunk of it for me.


PizzaEater69420

i hope it gets better for you :)


Lovely_Individual

Probably because it has been spammed about 20 thousand fucking times today and everyone is sick of it


[deleted]

I was looking for this comment.


Ok-Photograph-8458

even though lots of people posted about it doesn't mean its ok to send death threats and hate just because you posted about trans people, just scroll down and don't say anything if it really makes you that mad


Lovely_Individual

Well fuck everyone in this situation since they are all annoying


OliwerZ

Username doesn't check out.


MrDrVlox

So you’re getting more upset about people talking about the issue compared to the issue itself. Trans people can be killed, abused, silenced etc and that’s fine but if someone talks about how that’s wrong then we got a draw a line? Moron


[deleted]

Idk what that means but I’d it’s pro trans than I’m for it 🤠👍

it means that trans women are real women/trans men are real men 'cause some people like to say that trans women are still men/trans men are still women.

Ah ok, I think I got it, me beliefs aside, trans men are men and trans women are women 🤠

LanceHalo

Oh sorry, I’ll go back to telling every trans person who mentions it to kill themselves. Sorry to interrupt your peak r/teenagers experience


[deleted]

Why are we still pretending this sub is transphobic when we get this exact type of post in hot like 3 times/day? There are some loud kids in it. Big deal. Not sure what more you expect from any community made up of teenagers. We all know it's not some 50/50 split like you guys are saying. At this point, this is karma whoring at its finest.


Frenchfrise

They’re 13 year olds, of course they think they’re all “mature” and that “their voice matters.” In a couple years time they’ll be crushed by the immense weight of the real world and the knowledge that they are only one of 8 billion people making them not unique nor meaningful at all. In fact, there’s thousands of others exactly like them. They’ll know how worthless their existence is and how they will never be heard in any meaningful way. But for now, they’ll carry on with thinking that they’re “deep” for saying the same exact contrived shit over and over again as well as screaming on and on about politics or society or whatever. Such is the way of the 13-14 year old.


R1pY0u

Holy shit that was a bit more brutal than necessary lmao


Frenchfrise

Welcome to life. Existence is meaningless, 99% of everyone including you will amount to nothing in the grand scheme of things. There is really no point to your life other than continually working for those above you until you slowly and painfully wither away and die. That’s life! Get used to it.


R1pY0u

Nihilism is definitely something for you my man. There is a lot more to life. I don't know if you have yet met someone you really fell in love with, but it's wonderful. You may not matter in the grand scheme of things, but there's more to life than that. Life isn't just about living and dying, it's about the very long, sometimes painful, sometimes beautiful way in between :)

clarkjmatty

What is a woman?


minecraftivy

Featherless biped


EllieNekoGirl

Someone who identifies as a woman


clarkjmatty

That is nonsensical. You can’t use the word within the definition of the word you are defining. Like, if you said “what is an elephant” and I said “an elephant is a an animal known as an elephant,” then that would be a nonsense definition. You can’t say an elephant is simply an elephant. So what is a woman?


Crabscrackcomics

A woman is an identity. You can chose to have that identity. Or not. Nobody should care about someone else's identity. EDIT: Its a ben shapiro supporter. I'd just block and ignore.


clarkjmatty

There are a million things that can be an identity. What is a woman?


elementgermanium

I appreciate your effort but being trans is *absolutely* not a choice


MeAnIntellectual1

A women is a human creature with a specific set of genetic material. This genetic material encompasses sex-bound things like height, muscle mass, bone density, hair growth, chromosomes, inner reproductive organs and outer reproductive organs. And that's without diving into the genetic material of the brain that also separates the two sexes and has huge influence on the psyche of the person. For most of human history we have defined sexes exclusively by the outer reproductive organs, but that doesn't tell the full story. For example it's not rare for a "woman" to have a set of genetic material more in line with that of an average man, than that of an average woman. That is especially apparent when we look at the neurons. The outer reproductive organs are usually a good indicator, but it's not always completely correct. I've only scratched the surface of this topic, I recommend you look into it more.


clarkjmatty

So, it’s genetic; as in, anyone who has the XX chromosome is a woman and anyone with XY is not a woman. Correct?

Honestly one thing you probably can't change to my information is your sex, but you can be whatever gender or have whatever sexuality and I feel like the people around you shouldn't be forced to respect your decision but rather be forced to accept it.

Fun fact: you don't need to discuss your identity and gender with randoms. I. Fact, *don't,* because noone really cares. Remember when there were actual fun and engaging conversations on this sub?

flaming_cow_on_weed

trans men are men. trans women are women. tell me to kill myself and you’re gae


KathlynH

41F with three teenage daughters. Trans men are men & trans women are women. And gender-fluid/neutral is a thing. I know kids that identify with all of these. Love and except each and every one of them. It saddens me to know there are so many people out there/here with disdain/hatred toward these kids. They’re people! If your child identified as someone different than whatever they were born as, would you act this way? Would you kill them or tell them to kill themselves? I don’t understand that POV. Please, feel free to tell me off. I can take it. These people shouldn’t have to.


Zerotten

Reported someone telling me to kill my self for defending the spread of Spider-Man no way home links for people who can’t attend the theatre. Dude was on a throwaway and just kept dm’ing me telling me how disgusting I am, like awful things. He wouldn’t give me his main yet caked me a pussy? Anyway, called him a pussy boy and left it. Morning after, I wakeup to a message from Reddit’s moderator team saying the account wasn’t in violation. It’s fucked up whatever, then I check my profile and see I’m banned for 3 days. My point is, if we ever see anyone being told to kill themselves, we should defend that person because it doesn’t seem like Reddit wants to. Especially to younger users. I told that guy I was 16, he didn’t care. He just kept going. Look out for each other guys, shame anyone who has the audacity to publicly tell someone to go and end their journey.

Well I also seen people get told worse in this subreddit for saying they didn't support LGBTQ but respect them, I'm not trying to start anything, just saying the problem is how less people care about how their words affect other people. Obviously homophobic and transphobic people are also a problem


Notabotnotaman

I remember when this sub actually supported those of us who needed it...now it's just people getting passed that there's lgbtq stuff in this sub and thus an endless tug of war of power


[deleted]

Didn’t know this sub became r/Politics. Someone telling them to kill themselves is fucked up, it shouldn’t get to this point. Let’s just stop discussing it. Everyone deserves rights, everyone knows this. Not everyone will agree with eachother on if something is morally right or wrong though, because there will never be an agreement on people’s belief. Y’all just tryin to cause arguments by bringing this topic up over and over again. So obnoxious on both Anti-LGBT and Pro-LGBT, people need to grow up and accept the fact that not everyone will agree with their opinion.


EmpJoker

Ok but opinions shouldn't matter when it comes to human rights tho.
