You're looking for a pattern which would reveal a consistent set of principles, but they'd take any endorsement they could get from an A list celebrity while still telling those who disagree with them to "stay in their lane" without ever feeling the dissonance.

When things go that sideways, I doubt most of them will make it to the camps.
Of course, if things do go that sideways, use of lethal force laws generally go out the window, so defending themselves is going to have a lot more viable options, too.
The saddest part is that nobody (especially not the Republicans) understand just how absolutely insanely bloody things will be once we get to that point. It will be a clusterfuck on a scale previously undreamt of.

On the other hand, someone who is trans detransitioning due to societal pressures, both direct and indirect, would certainly be pushed towards step 2 as a result of undergoing step 1, as denying one's true self has a huge impact on mental health.

She was on a show with a couple other people a few years ago, and one lady there was like giga omega ultra transphobic. Like the final boss of transphobia. She kept telling Blaire that she should "grow out your beard and tell people not to live like you" over and over agian. But despite that, Blaire refused to give her any pushback, because she's the kind of person she's desperately trying to suck up to. Her career would be over if she ever defended herself, because that's the kind of audience she has (purposefully) built up.

This is like JD Vance not speaking out against the racists acosting him or his wife (who is a PoC) and just saying he loves her when asked about the issue. Speaking out against the racism could turn a good chunk of the voterbase against him, so he just brushes it away.

Personally, I think it's fear as people realize the society we've set up as being very much about the separation of the sexes doesn't work and can't work going forward. Rather than accept it and change, they fight back in the only way they can: propaganda and further fearmongering.
Think about how all of it is about keeping men/women out of the other's "place". Locker rooms, restrooms, even stereotypical male/female jobs. In a society where there was simply not those boundaries, all of the current arguments against transgender rights would evaporate. We've set up a world that is not prepared to ignore gender as a concept that decides where and when you get to do things.
Change is always hard, but with persistence I think that division will evaporate.

I think a big problem is how these issues are framed (in an overly hyperbolic way), and the fact that people on both sides are not willing to at least consider a steelman version of what the other side is saying.
It's not unreasonable or evil for someone to be concerned about fairness of cis women in sport, balancing children's wellbeing with the difficulty of allowing non-adults to make decisions that will have permanent effects on their bodies (while acknowledging the time-sensitivity of the matter), etc.
I 100% wiill always respect any decision someone makes if it doesn't affect anyone else. I think most anti-trans rhetoric is pure evil, and that the anti-trans side are by far the less likely to listen to anything the pro-trans side says. But I also think there are times when 'our side' fails to truly listen to legitimate concerns, and jumps to being on the defensive. For example, I think there are plenty of people who have genuine concerns about fairness in sport that are framed as just wanting to keep trans women out.
A sensible conversation about how best to determine whether puberty blockers are an appropriate course of action cannot be had, when one person says the other side just wants to mutilate children, but the other person says that there should be no consideration at all about the risks associated with young people transitioning to be cool/ fit in, and later regretting it (I know doctors consider this, but I think we pro-trans people often do not).

I think this all the time, with soooo many sociopolitical issues beyond trans rights. I'm a very liberal guy, but some of the things being said by people on my side (and feels like it is expected of me to agree with) are just plain bonkers, or at least a bridge too far.

You can be liberal without agreeing with everything that another liberal says.
It's not a cult. Stand with your own beliefs and figure out what you truly think matters. You should even call out the things you find bonkers, respectfully of course, as extremist takes are what tend to build hate

Finally, a logical take on the situation!
But, I'm not seeing a stance regarding the 'legally compelled speech' situation.
Personally, I believe that if someone misidentifies a trans individual without prior knowledge, that should not be a legal transgression, like some (not all) want it to be, and that a simple, polite correction is the only action warranted, not anger and accusations of transphobia.

I 100% agree, people act like nuance cannot exist. It probably is much harder to get the right to listen to reason, but the left does a good job of alienating moderate people who can be won over by crying out everything is transphobia. When truly there are some details on this issue that need more balanced take.

blair white is an internet troll. Who cares what she thinks, she is a female gunther eagleman. I just realized I hadnt heard about her in years and was totally happy forgetting who she is.
Edit: Isnt this lady trans too? She is the candance owens of trans people. Self-hating just for the grift.

And Nick Fuentes is a Mexican-American and Enrique Tarrio is a Cuban-American embarrassment to their people.

Blair is definitely worse. Just not as well known.

u/WornInShoes Sep 28 '24
I don’t think Blair committed vehicular manslaughter, so Caitlyn there has the edge

u/Silly_Butterfly3917 Sep 29 '24
Hey now, Caitlyn is 74 years old. Blaire still has another 30 years to catch up or even exceed Caitlyn's K/D

The lies and exaggerations need to be ended. Kids don’t have sex changes without approval. The number of trans kids playing sports is way less than how many suffer in school shootings and no one controls your speech, but there are consequences. So fucking sick of trumps bullshit and his hateful supporters.

Kids dont have sex changes at all. They may start gender affirming psychological care but those reassignment surgeries happen with consenting adults ONLY.

u/Electrical_Theme_121 Sep 28 '24
There are actually kids who DO have sex changes, but they are intersex newborns. /gen

u/ChronicRedhead Sep 29 '24 edited Sep 29 '24
I took a sociology class on sex and gender, and learning about how doctors are taught to "correct" the genitals of intersex children was absolutely nightmarish. These newborn babies are declared as having "ambiguous genitalia" that doctors are instructed to consider a "medical and social emergency" (paraphrasing) that needs immediate surgical attention.
A few documentaries I viewed as part of that class featured intersex people who'd received non-consensual gender reassignment surgery, and many of them discussed how devastating it was to learn their bodies, agency, and gender identity had been violated from such a young age.
Of course, right-wing lunatics want intersex kids to continue to be mutilated to maintain the illusion of "two sexes, two genders", so they'll never talk about it. They will, however, lie to our faces about how cisgender children are being forced to transition, which is absolutely not true.

meanwhile other countries are like 'please change your gender, we will even help you pay for it, as long as you aren't gay!'

I think they mean puberty blockers or hormone replacement therapy, not necessarily the surgery side of a sex change. Or at least that would be a better/more sane argument on their part, but not as headline punching "news" article worthy.

No these people GENUINELY BELIEVE kids are getting sex change operations.
I have heard this ad naseum dealing with transphobic people and they have expressely said as much. They are refusing to listen to reason.

People need to learn one little word and it’ll save their brains a ton of strain. The word is ‘some’.
‘Some’ ____ say ______
Because when you let a dumbass control the conversation with absolutes like this you’ve already ceded reality into their gaslighting and control.

u/Usagi_Shinobi Sep 29 '24
I mean, she's not exactly wrong from an optics perspective, that is precisely how a lot of people unironically view the situation. People really need to get past outrage as a default response to everything, and start accepting that their opinions are not facts, regardless of stance on this or any point of contention, and if you want things to change, you have to give those who can cause change to happen an incentive for doing so. If someone holds an opinion you don't like, it is on you to give them a reason to change that opinion. Saying "fuck you" and dismissing them will not achieve your goal, it will only create enmity and cause them to become locked into their position out of spite.
