I am so sick of people trying to compare other capitalist occupations to porn and prostitution. None of them have made an accurate comparison yet. I’ll take an actual, honest whack at it… Could you imagine if video footage of child labor in textile factories or of poverty stricken coffee growers WAS the product instead of coffee or clothes? Like the exploited workers weren’t even really sewing things for people to wear or picking crops for people to eat, they just did it to show the camera. And why were they suffering on film? Just because people just liked to watch???? That’s the equivalent of porn. The suffering is being filmed and sold for someone else to enjoy, there is no tangible product outside of that footage. Let that roll around in your skull for awhile anon.

Psychologists whose brains have been eaten by gender zombies

“Gender” therapist: Oh, it is VERY VERY rare for a 16-year-old who says they are transgender to really be lesbian.
Me: Hm. Oh, really? Well, she has only had relationships with girls, watches nothing but lesbian love stories on TV, and, um, just started talking about all this last week. She never talked about being a boy before that YouTube binge.
“Gender” therapist: Well, I know you’re scared and it must be so hard to accept this.
Me: No, actually, I just don’t buy it. I’m not scared. I’m angry.
“Gender” therapist (nodding sympathetically, while thinking, “what a transphobe”): Uh, huh. Well, you know, there is nothing you or I can do if she is actually transgender.
Me: So, all she has to do is SAY she is and that’s it?
“Gender” therapist: I’m sorry, we’re out of time. That will be $150.
My daughter goes to high school with two trans identifying teens. The female trans kid’s mom won’t let them take testosterone, because “its worse for your health than smoking 2 packs a day”, and my daughter feels really bad for them because of it. No understanding of what its like to be in charge of your child’s future health. You’re not the only sane one out there. That kid is getting transferred to a weird charter school where they work outside on a farm a lot of the day, I think that mom has the right idea. If my daughter moves from “non-binary” to trans her internet is getting turned off immediately.

Nail, meet head. “No understanding of what it’s like to be in charge of your future child’s health.” But be careful. My daughter imbibed the KoolAid before I put any limits on the Internet. While it’s not a daily topic of conversation now, she is as hellbent as ever. I’d work on deprogramming proactively, if I had it to do over.
