This isn’t particularly “novel”, I suppose, but it is… Interesting to see this trend borne out in real life…
The school I went to has a cluster of “folx” who have subsequently gone trans. Mostly in the year below me (three!!!), but also in my year. I have literally never heard of anyone in prior years having that happen. Mostly F2M (horrifyingly common, where I am), but there’s at least two M2Fs as well.
This individual is one of the F2Ms from the grade below. She (and I will insist on using that pronoun) was always odd, in any interactions I had with her. In school, she obviously never wore makeup, or bothered much with her hair, but nonetheless, never crossdressed (I doubt the school would have allowed it, in those days), and didn’t even cut her hair short. The only “trans” thing she did was shorten her name to a gender-neutral (uncommon, but not unique) version. Which I found odd, but not all that… Extreme.
In any normal, functional society, she probably would have just ended up as a lesbian. But no, not in “Current Year” in the West.
So now she’s late 20s, chopped off her tits, and has grown a fucking D’Artagnan beard, combined with early-onset male pattern baldness, and early-onset greying (she was naturally blonde, but dyed her hair black after “transitioning”, so it looks so much worse now)…
It is… Disgusting. As is the art that “he” makes. Yet “he” is being given a solo exhibition in the University-affiliated (surprise surprise) gallery here, along with fawning radio interviews talking about the “wonders of art school”, et al…
It makes my skin crawl. And yet pretty much everyone I know in the “arty” or “politically active” space, in this city, is falling all over it. Including extended family of mine…
Now, I’ve largely moved on from this place. My soul is no longer here, even if my body currently is. And yet, social media continues to remind me just how fucking loopy the middle class bubble of this shithole is…
All because the fucking internet, and “pop culture”, brainwashed these normies into mutilating their bodies, and dragging others into the “cause” with them.
Meanwhile there are people here who cannot even afford housing or healthcare, because we’ve fucked the entire system up by importing ever more third-world immigrants, most of whom would, privately at least, be hostile to woke bullshit like this…
Fuck this place. I’m done with it, and with these “folx”.
/Rant over.
Libs: "But we have to be extremely nice to this completely undeserving individual because otherwise xhe will kill xherself, as any completely normal and definitely not psychotic person would do!"
Me: "No she won't, threatening suicide is a common narcissistic behavior. I wish she did, though."
The last thing you should do to treat a mental illness is to enable it.
This, this 1000 times, this.
Trans coddling is enabling. Trans "rights" are coddling, which is enabling.
We wouldn't enable someone who identifies as blind to blind themselves.
We shouldn't enable someone with Gender Dysphoria to castrate themselves.
"You are fat. Definitely keep starving yourself. You have at least another 20 pounds to lose."
"The voices are right, you need to take a power drill to your skull."
Madness. Sheer madness.
I hate that we're being pressured so hard to enable it. They can identify as anything they want because they're mentally ill; but we're not allowed to identify them as who they really are because that's "bigotry" and "sexism" and somehow "fascism." You could lose your job, your friends and your livelihood for not playing along with their fantasy.
That's no more a normal functional society than the one it's turned into. Just because it seemed slightly better then than it is now doesn't mean it wasn't all part of the rot that led where we are.
In a normal and functional society she would either have been married off or become a literal spinster helping the rest of the family managing the other children. Neither of those options would have required a cocktail of drugs to keep her from realising just how miserable she is now.
In fact I would bet money it all started with "anti-depressants" long before you ever knew she was on them.
DING! DING! DING! Johnny, tell him what he's won! Protip for guys: if you have a woman in your life who is doing weird shit, there's three reasons for it. One, she's on drugs, legal or not. Two, she has daddy issues. Three, she is trying to get someone's attention because she wants them to fuck her.
I need to find a post by someone else on here after that bit about the bubble reminded me of a way to describe the woke circle jerk.
Got it; here back in Feb 2023 by u/TheKidsAreAltRight

That's your bubble, lots of Yes-men nodding along, probably largely in fear, because the second the bubble pops very bad things happen.
Wise words to live by!
I kid, because the echo chamber failing means the 41% meme. The more they reinforce the delusion the greater the fallout when it shatters.
You don't need to insist anything. Individuals do not "have pronouns", individuals do not get to choose what others refer to them as. The sole purpose of pronouns is so you don't have to repeatedly invoke a person's name in conversation. We as a species have decided that sex is an important basic unit of communication, so it is conveyed with pronouns.
Every other claim about pronouns is retarded narcissistic bullshit.
It's funny that a bunch of commies are fixated on this single point of internal locus of control when the reality is as you say. Those pronouns are chosen by society minus yourself. The only pronouns you have in English are I/me. If you want to change those, it's still retarded, but you don't need to announce anything to use different ones.
It's by design. The devil promises the world if only you kneel for him.
You get fame, all you need to do is destroy yourself and kneel for Satan. A tale as old as time.
"they"?
You are dealing with a Leftist infestation of art that began in 1903, when someone who hated the conventional art scene entered a urinal into a competition, and was surprised that he won.
During the progressive era, the concepts of "radicalism" and "counter-culture" became a middle-class intelligentsia luxury belief. Leftism has since squatted there until all it's become is that.
You are looking at the real-life BreadTube. This is nothing but manufactured appeal, political propaganda, and criminal embezzlement all rolled into one; long after actual culture has been displaced.
I don't think Art Museums should be banned, but I think everyone who works in them should be forcibly removed, most of the artwork with it, and the whole industry restructured.
I’m curious if they ever look in the mirror and realize how bad they are making their body or if it is a Munchausen by proxy situation where the family reinforces their behavior everyday.
That's a bit surprising. Usually trannies are born with dicks.
There seems to be more “clusters” of F2Ms, though… At least among teens and young adults.
I believe there was a cluster in Palo Alto (surprise surprise) of all places, a few years back…
I was trying to find the article prior to writing this, but it seems most of the evidence has been scrubbed, since (again, to no one’s surprise)…
But I do recall the “social contagion” angle being talked about in various publications. Which lines up with the anorexia and other “mental illness” (people on TikTok claiming to have one, etc) comparisons…
When it comes to adult trannies, though? Yeah, you’re generally right…
Which makes sense I guess. There’s a lot less perks to being a mediocre, ugly “man” than to being a mediocre, ugly “woman”, I imagine (in reality)…
What a terrible situation. Sorry dude, I’ve had a few people I know go down that path. I worry about them a lot.
That's art scene insanity. 1,000s of people want to be artists and it's tough to promote. Some God weird or PC to get what they want. Pretending to be a lesbian to get your art shown and actually looked at is not a new thing. It's even worse when the artist needs validation enough to actually believe it.
If you're not talented just say you're trans.
