(Ask Jon Stewart of Bill Maher.) Suggesting even the possibility that an individual might be, as you say, simply seeking a new start, or trying to escape from their past in a truly radical way, is just not allowed. I know a young transgender woman who used to love Stewart and Maher, and now she despises them because they suggested that some seeking to transition might be doing so as the result of peer pressure, or faddishness..
    The "trans-identified people are all born that way" narrative falls apart pretty quickly on any serious inspection. Consider the emerging phenomenon of "transmaxxing" within incel communities, for example. As Mary Harrington has aptly put it...

    "...the transmaxxers are strikingly post-ideological about their self-remodelling, at least compared to the official trans narrative, which draws heavily from 20th-century civil rights discourse. In this view, ‘gender identity’ is immutable and trans people are just ‘born that way’.

    Many transmaxxers, though, modify themselves just because they want to (examples are shown on this 73-page ‘transmaxxing’ manifesto). Some report making up stories of gender dysphoria for medical professionals, while others then self-induce gender dysphoria by watching ‘sissy hypno’ — a type of video in which hypnotic (and sometimes also pornographic) stimuli are combined with messages encouraging the male viewer to embrace feminine looks or behaviour. The post-ideological feel of the phenomenon is underlined further by how often such individuals shift from embracing the ‘incel’ ideologies associated with the Right, to ‘trans’ identities associated with the Left."


    She goes on to explain the transhumanist philosophical implications of this development; how an increasing pool of incels views gender transition not as a natural expression of something innate, but as a form of self-improvement that enables "beta males" who've supposedly failed as men to lead better, happier lives as women. They know they're not women, but they self-consciously choose to "become" women as a game because, supposedly, the medical technology of today allows it.

    Perhaps more pointedly though, one might consider the sheer scale of the detransitioned community. The Detrans subreddit currently boasts over 45,000 members and a considerable volume of activity. More than 75% of its members are female. The prevailing view in Reddit's Detrans community is that the community members were, or in some cases still are, victims of a social contagion, most often during puberty.

    Phenomena like these prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that there is indeed such a thing as "false transitioning", if you will. The only question that remains then is how much of the gender transitioning we're seeing occur today is false.

    I appreciate your sharing that link and information. I had absolutely no idea...which is probably not surprising, as almost any media source that investigated and reported the phenomenon would become a target. I just did a search on "transmaxxing" and aside from one hit on YouTube and one at the National Review, it's all social media. The mere existence of these folks presents a problem for those who dislike having to admit that not all people who seek what used to be called simply "a sex change" are possessed of the same motivation and mindset.

    Now we have a trans- mass shooting. Nashville yesterday. Is that the first? And born a woman. So even without the trans issue, that is extremely rare.

    I also don't see what the pertinence of it is to this thread except to help discredit the myth of "trans genocide". The Human Rights Campaign (which is primarily a trans activist lobby) has documented the murders of exactly seven trans-identified people in the United States so far in 2023, all but one of whom were specifically trans-women, and none of the cases were identified as hate crimes (i.e. none of these seven killings were motivated by the victim's gender identity). In fact, the total number of transgender people worldwide who have ever been murdered because of their gender identity that we are aware of is a list that fits neatly on one relatively short Wikipedia page and appears to have grown in recent years and decades only because the number of people changing their gender ID in the first place has also increased in recent years and decades. You will also notice a pattern of the perpetrators being male, not "terfs".

    Anyway, with this one action at the Covenant School alone, the total number of other Americans murdered by trans-identified people in 2023 nearly equals the number of transgender Americans who've been murdered by others for the year to date...and that's assuming there have been no others so far this year (I haven't been keeping track). And it may also be noteworthy here that the victims were primarily female and very young.

    Since the Human Rights Campaign takes to documenting all trans-identified people who die violent deaths for mourning purposes, we'll see if they add Audrey Elizabeth Hale (the Covenant shooter) to their list soon since she died in a shootout with the police. Somehow I suspect this case will be omitted though, as it doesn't help the narrative.

More specifically, I'm apparently "gender-$#@!", which according to the author(s) of this quiz means that I'm "a person who feels they don't identify as either male or female, but instead somewhere between or outside those two binary categories altogether." ... So now you know! Just wanted to come out to you this morning.

    This outcome was somehow arrived at despite the fact that I plainly answered that my sex is female, that I identify exclusively as female, that I strongly prefer being described with female pronouns, that my gender identity doesn't change at all, and that I don't want to be a different gender. So if you weren't persuaded that gender identity is a real thing before, now you are for sure!

    Honestly, I feel like almost anyone who took this quiz would land somewhere on their idea of the trans spectrum in their results. It's almost impossible not to, I mean if you're human. You'll likely land somewhere on the trans spectrum in this quiz if you answer that you've ever experienced any body insecurity before, which I think almost everyone has; especially women. And you'll definitely land in their idea of the trans spectrum if you're gay, period, because there seem to be a curious volume of questions about your sexuality, which aren't supposed to be relevant to your gender ID according to trans activists. Seriously, take the quiz for yourself and be amused! And once you've done so, rest easy in the knowledge that countless depressed teenagers are doing the same right now, are probably buying the results, and that few medical professionals in this country are allowed to disagree with them.
    Yup that is a bogus test that is predetermined to put you somewhere on the spectrum I am apparently transsexual despite at no point having been uncomfortable as a guy and no answers that should lead the quiz in that direction
    I am comfortable enough in my myself to take the test and to judge it a fraud. As you said some kid somewhere is getting their result and starting to doubt their true identity
