The book sounds interesting, but perhaps more useful for engaging with "normies".
I'd sum this stuff up with: In a system where the strong are obligated to support the weak at their own expense, it is natural for observant new members to seek entry to the class of weakness.
I don't agree. I think society would support it. The roadblock isn't there, it's in the elected leaders who refuse to stand up to them, even when it's best for everyone.
Just shut out the voices of the people who are losing out, because as they always say - some people are so privileged, equality feels like oppression. Throw that line back at them.
It is not just the elected clowns who we call leaders, too many males themselves are simps these days.
They cannot resist the social brainwashing that exploits males' biological urges to want to protect females.
The US have about 328 million citizens. 1.8 of these would translate to 5.9 million transgenders. 40% of them will kill themselves and another 20 to 30 will be killed by a black thug that they tried to trap.
Good luck!
Yeah, I know, it doesn't add up because I would have to only count the millenials. On the other hand: I don't care, get fucked.
On a positive note: I don't believe that the number of transgendered people has changed in the last 20000 years. It's teens that need a label to be special. We just have to prevent lunatics from feeding them hormones and cutting their dicks of. On second thought ... good luck with that too.
As I said. The math isn't perfect. But it's funny. I'm not the kind of guy that wants to see the whole world burn. But I am not the kind of guy that goes out of his way to prevent the world from doing so, either.
This might sound like a strange argument, but aren't the ones that try and fail to kill themselves potentially salvageable humans? They attempt suicide due to regret, right? Having regret should mean that they're capable of introspection, and I'm fairly positive that our primary enemies cannot introspect.
I'd like to see some case studies for this, but I doubt there will be any for some years (if at all).
Having regret should mean that they're capable of introspection
There's a difference between regretting the consequences of a course of action, and regretting having taken that course of action because you understand it better now.
Transgenderism is already suicide-adjacent - like suicide, it is a form of self-erasure or self-annihilation. Attempting to 'become someone else' is not terribly different from attempting to 'become not-me'.
Women are more susceptible to social pressure. They all locked themselves in Tumblr and social media sites that told them gender dysphoria was cool and herd mentality took it from there.
That can't be real, almost 2% trans? I understand the bisexual and others, a lot of so cold bisexuals are just straight people. mostly women who experimented when they were younger.
But the trans percentage for both millennials and gen z is way to high. There are about as many trans as lesbians? How do they explain this anomaly?
I assume the same dynamics will hold true as for addiction. These things never proceed linearly. When a given drug is novel, a lot of people start using it and get addicted, and that is because the bad effects have not yet become apparent. Then things level off.
You only have to wait until these effects become too obvious to ignore, even for the reality-deniers. The 'transgender' life is pure misery, and it will not be long before it is apparent.
I'd bet most of those Bisexuals and Lesbians are straight, a huge swath of the 'trans' are actually gays and lesbians (Butch Lesbians = told their men, Camp Gays = told their women), and many of the 'gays' are actual Bisexuals who are identifying as gay for social value since Bisexuality doesn't score you much in the way of social points, but you can prove that you like dick unlike the straight guys who just say they are gay.
I recall when BLTGP advocates were saying that acceptance of homosexuality would not mean that more people would become homosexual. Clearly, it does. And I say that as someone who was bisexual before it was cool...
Genetic drift does not occur in a single generation. It might occur in one INSTANCE of one family in one generation, but it does not spread across a species in a single generation.
That implies outside factors.
Or in other words, this scientifically proves that LGBT is a choice, or at least that nurture has a significant impact in addition to nature.
I don't know if that's what they INTENDED to prove, but it is a clear conclusion of their data. Even if you go the "woke" route and say the previous datasets were underrepresenting because of societal pressures, that just says societal pressures do indeed work, and thus there is a nurture component, thus at least partially LGBT is a choice.
It's an odd thing to be allowed to be posted on Twitter.
The transgender column and bisexual column is where there is a significant difference between generations in terms of increase.
This suggests that there is clearly a social contagion at play.
The current worshipping of the rainbow mafia definitely incentivizes more and more teens to adopt certain identities merely for free attention, praise and academic/career advantages.
Your title proposes this as some kind of reality check on Gen Z, but I don't think anyone was expecting to be saved by young women. The statistics don't lie, in both 2018 and 2020, they autopiloted straight to the Democrat straight ticket.
Whether Jenny calls herself Jimmy or not, she's still very likely to vote Democrat straight ticket.
What would be concerning is if young men are coming out of the indoctrination with a sort of Stockholm syndrome of considering leftists as their allies. We don't yet know if they are and the media is hardly going to tell us. Social media is dominated by women, so it isn't a good show of what's truly going on with young men.
I've seen several posts on Reddit that kind of convinced me there is a genetic aspect to homosexuality, particularly among men.
You'd read a lot of "bisexual men" who would have first time experiences with men or women, and that would just answer all of their sexual confusion all at once.
If your friend's dick is in your mouth, and you realize you don't like this -> you're straight.
If your friend's dick is in your mouth, and you think this is awesome -> you're gay
I think of it like the "dick in mouth" test.
And it really did seem to be that stark for the Redditors. They just instantly recognized it, no matter what previous sexual confusion they had gone through, it was just a light-bulb clicking on.
I think a lot of the Bisexuals in the stats are really just straight people who will fail the 'dick-in-mouth' test.
I'm not sure I ever had that hope. At best I'd have gone with they would be 5% better off than the previous generation. Honestly, I think it will be a wash. They won't be more woke, but they won't be less. Which I suppose is a step in the right direction. It also means if we are to be trending back to an intelligent society at that rate I will be 200 years dead before it arrives.
"I will say I'm bisexual to fit in, and will be very uncomfortable the first time I have a dick in my mouth. From that point on, I will know I'm straight."
I literally read that post on Reddit.
Here's the thing. Gen Z is a huge sea-change against Leftism from a long statistical perspective.
I hate having to explain this over and over again, but here it goes:
Gen Z is as Left-wing now as Millennial are right now. Every generation is at their absolute most leftist at around age 18-25. From that point on, they move right-wing slowly and steadily for the rest of their lives.
That would make it sound like pretty much everyone should just be conservative... but the trick is that each generation is at least 5-10 points more Leftist at 18 than the previous generation was at 18. However, Gen Z i, at 18 equally as Leftist as Millennial at age 30. That is the first time since the statistics have been kept going back to the Silent generation where the latest generation is less leftist at 18 then their predecessors were at 18.
This means that Gen Z at 18 is around 2-3 points less leftist then Millennials, when the trend should be that Gen Z should be 10 points more Leftist than Millennials.
That is, without question, a massive change in ideology among the youths. Millennials might be the high-water mark of Leftism. I wouldn't be surprised if Gen Z+1 is 5 points less Leftist than Gen Z.
I haven't even gotten into the point that White Leftists have a demographic replacement rate of something like 0.3, while White Conservatives have a replacement rate of 2.1
The long war looks just fine. Lets win the battles in front of us and recognize that Gen Z will need our help to get through this nonsense (and so will their kids).
I always examine the long term to the best of my ability, so that I know what things have the best opportunity to be an early investor in. That's where the biggest successes are made. That and during the middle of a collapse.
I totally agree with you that the next decade is our present fight, but my point is that I don't see the long term future going badly, which means that this fight is winnable.
Now, if I were championing individualism in the 1900's, and I was looking forward, I probably would advocate a completely different strategy since collectivism looked like it was going to be utterly dominant.
Besides, I'm in my 30's. I'll probably make it to 80-90.
Its a trend no different than Emo in my day.... except instead of kids cutting themselves for attention from aloof boomer parentals theyre "transitioning"
Some of my friends have scars (I was only in it for the chics) but this next generation are really going to regret what theyre doing in their youth... well either see a mass wave of conservatism and repentance.... or theyll all just double down and civilisation will collapse
There is a social contagion and this won't end well for society.
Abigail Shrier's book Irreversible Damage touches on the social contagion aspect of rainbow mafia recruitment.
The book sounds interesting, but perhaps more useful for engaging with "normies".
I'd sum this stuff up with: In a system where the strong are obligated to support the weak at their own expense, it is natural for observant new members to seek entry to the class of weakness.
"Men are defective women" - we haven't forgotten. When this all ends, they better get the blame.
The book actually looks at the transgender phenomenon and examines what might have caused the large increase in recent times.
Of course you hate the book automatically because a woman wrote it.
I'm guessing atrazine in the water, soy in the bread, and pollutants that mimic estrogen.
Good guess.
These substances are making things much worse.
I'm confused what kinda water you guys are drinking then? You filter tap water somehow? Bottled?
Berkey water filters.
Definitely worth buying.
So, the old throw darts at a wall of bullshit and see what sticks strategy?
It's pretty obvious what caused it, who is to blame and even how to stop it.
Stop giving women privileges. Start valuing men as human beings.
Anything else is just a distraction akin to the "that wasn't real communism" charade.
I do agree on stop giving women privileges but current society is way too cucked to seriously entertain this necessity.
I also agree on treating men as human beings but you know they won't allow that
I don't agree. I think society would support it. The roadblock isn't there, it's in the elected leaders who refuse to stand up to them, even when it's best for everyone.
Just shut out the voices of the people who are losing out, because as they always say - some people are so privileged, equality feels like oppression. Throw that line back at them.
It is not just the elected clowns who we call leaders, too many males themselves are simps these days. They cannot resist the social brainwashing that exploits males' biological urges to want to protect females.
How many of those who tell us that they support women are just scared of their wrath?
Just read the darn book
Such slogans are identitarian cringe. Instead of pleading that people value you, make them value you.
You're such a cuck jfc
Yeah, making petulant demands that people won't follow is much better than making them do what you want.
And how do you do that with a class of people who only value themselves?
People? Same way we have dealt with people since time immemorial. Make it so that they cannot ignore what you want, because they will if they can.
The same way you would with any class of people. Have something they want and make yourself irreplaceable
With shotguns, right??? Shotguns for every male!
1.8% Transgender. Let's do some funky math.
The US have about 328 million citizens. 1.8 of these would translate to 5.9 million transgenders. 40% of them will kill themselves and another 20 to 30 will be killed by a black thug that they tried to trap.
Good luck!
Yeah, I know, it doesn't add up because I would have to only count the millenials. On the other hand: I don't care, get fucked.
On a positive note: I don't believe that the number of transgendered people has changed in the last 20000 years. It's teens that need a label to be special. We just have to prevent lunatics from feeding them hormones and cutting their dicks of. On second thought ... good luck with that too.
Only part of the 40% actually succeed. They're not exactly competent, even at that.
As I said. The math isn't perfect. But it's funny. I'm not the kind of guy that wants to see the whole world burn. But I am not the kind of guy that goes out of his way to prevent the world from doing so, either.
This might sound like a strange argument, but aren't the ones that try and fail to kill themselves potentially salvageable humans? They attempt suicide due to regret, right?

There's a difference between regretting the consequences of a course of action, and regretting having taken that course of action because you understand it better now.
There's also ignoring the fact that for some attempting suicide IS the goal, not actually succeeding.
For those who "having a special label" is a form of attention seeking, where else do you go if that isn't enough validation?
There's a reason why the data supports men having lower suicide attempt rates but higher success rates than women who are inverse...
Transgenderism is already suicide-adjacent - like suicide, it is a form of self-erasure or self-annihilation. Attempting to 'become someone else' is not terribly different from attempting to 'become not-me'.
That's a good point. Do you have any ideas for what a sign of potential redemption would look like from them?
Recognizing that they fell victim to a social contagion and fighting back against the contagion itself and those intentionally spreading it.
Not necessarily regret, but because their mental illnesses remained unaddressed - since they claimed it was just gender delusion.
The people who don't attempt suicide may be the more decent people.
I wanted to see if other countries have this type of increase in LGBTQ population and there is not enough data, however I found this about Sweeden:
Welfare which confirmed a 1,500% rise between 2008 and 2018 in gender dysphoria diagnoses among 13- to 17-year-olds born as girls.
I do not have a number but like WTF. And it was mostly for girls.
Women are more susceptible to social pressure. They all locked themselves in Tumblr and social media sites that told them gender dysphoria was cool and herd mentality took it from there.
Yes, Abigail Shirer pointed out the same thing. The witch-hunt mania was also driven by teenage girls.
NZ, UK, Germany, Sweden I've seen data for and all have similar skyrocketing transgenderism in children starting around 2009.
That can't be real, almost 2% trans? I understand the bisexual and others, a lot of so cold bisexuals are just straight people. mostly women who experimented when they were younger.
But the trans percentage for both millennials and gen z is way to high. There are about as many trans as lesbians? How do they explain this anomaly?
I think what explains this anomaly is social contagion effect.
It is beneficial to say that one is trans.
Look at the free praise, attention and benefits you get if you say it.
It incentivizes more and more teens identifying as trans.
I assume the same dynamics will hold true as for addiction. These things never proceed linearly. When a given drug is novel, a lot of people start using it and get addicted, and that is because the bad effects have not yet become apparent. Then things level off.
You only have to wait until these effects become too obvious to ignore, even for the reality-deniers. The 'transgender' life is pure misery, and it will not be long before it is apparent.
It's obviously a social contagion.
I'd bet most of those Bisexuals and Lesbians are straight, a huge swath of the 'trans' are actually gays and lesbians (Butch Lesbians = told their men, Camp Gays = told their women), and many of the 'gays' are actual Bisexuals who are identifying as gay for social value since Bisexuality doesn't score you much in the way of social points, but you can prove that you like dick unlike the straight guys who just say they are gay.
I recall when BLTGP advocates were saying that acceptance of homosexuality would not mean that more people would become homosexual. Clearly, it does. And I say that as someone who was bisexual before it was cool...
lol
Now I'm curious what was so funny about that.
Join the club.

2.1% gay. It's not that big of a jump.
We don't know enough to know if the bisexual stat is padded by our worse halves trying to claim more oppression points.
The transgender column and bisexual column is where there is a significant difference between generations in terms of increase.
This suggests that there is clearly a social contagion at play.
The current worshipping of the rainbow mafia definitely incentivizes more and more teens to adopt certain identities merely for free attention, praise and academic/career advantages.
So, pretty obvious who leads that.
Again, without a gender breakdown, this data is absolutely worthless.
If you take a look at the book, Shrier does confirm your suspicions that more and more teen girls are adopting these identities for the free perks.
So why is that worrying? Young women vote leftist anyway. Who cares.
Increase in rainbow mafia will have terrible consequences.
It is not just teen girls, it is also teen boys who are doing this.
Boys can see girls have advantages and will be incentivized to identify as MtF trans.
Rise in mental illness is never something we can ignore.
Your title proposes this as some kind of reality check on Gen Z, but I don't think anyone was expecting to be saved by young women. The statistics don't lie, in both 2018 and 2020, they autopiloted straight to the Democrat straight ticket.

"if young men are coming out of the indoctrination with a sort of Stockholm syndrome of considering leftists as their allies. "
Look at the white male vote share for Democrats by age group.
This has been happening for atleast the last five election cycles(since 2012) and you can see it in the data.
I've seen several posts on Reddit that kind of convinced me there is a genetic aspect to homosexuality, particularly among men.
You'd read a lot of "bisexual men" who would have first time experiences with men or women, and that would just answer all of their sexual confusion all at once.

I think a lot of the Bisexuals in the stats are really just straight people who will fail the 'dick-in-mouth' test.
Women are more likely to identify as bisexual 4.3 vs 1.8
So definitely more women by a very large margin.
That's what I thought. Wish that was in the data.
It is in the data, I got that from the gallup poll from the tweet.
Oh, that'll teach me not to click links in archives.
Edit : That's for the entire population. We need it for just Gen Z.
I'm not sure I ever had that hope. At best I'd have gone with they would be 5% better off than the previous generation. Honestly, I think it will be a wash. They won't be more woke, but they won't be less. Which I suppose is a step in the right direction.

The left has "anti-racist CRT" academia and media indoctrination to keep their follower count high.
They brainwash conservatives' kids so they don't need their own useful idiots to have as many kids.
Being whitepilled has limits, I think you are getting too optimistic these days.
The current situation is not looking good no matter how you look at it.
I didn't say the short battles, I said the long war.
I think the world will be in a far better place 50 years from now. We do have to keep fighting today, though.
The world will be better in 50 years?
Holy shit are you serious?
Most of us will be dead by then.
The next decade is what we should all be focused on getting through.
I always examine the long term to the best of my ability, so that I know what things have the best opportunity to be an early investor in. That's where the biggest successes are made. That and during the middle of a collapse.

the highest increase is bi-sexual..... so basically people jumping on what's "trendy" for social brownie points?
Its a trend no different than Emo in my day.... except instead of kids cutting themselves for attention from aloof boomer parentals theyre "transitioning"
Some of my friends have scars (I was only in it for the chics) but this next generation are really going to regret what theyre doing in their youth... well either see a mass wave of conservatism and repentance.... or theyll all just double down and civilisation will collapse
Ehhhh, I think this is a natural progression of the stat given that it’s all in the bi column
