Yeah I think the left needs to take it on

and politicise it

but that's not getitng to the roots

like many other issues of the day its a half hearted response

We have to do away with the idea that it can ever be a hard science

We don't need to get anyone to admit to being mentally ill

but honest genuine compassion on the issue might reach some

If you say we need better mental health care I'm sure you could get republicans to agree

Yeah I mean I see a therapist because my childhood was difficult and i responded to that lack of control with defense mechanisms that did more to alienate people

And after a year or so i was able to really work through a lot of it

like thinking a girl could fix all my problems and that my opinions were important

being humble in real life

is liberating

dude honestly talking about this stuff kind of helps

like I'm honestly not lying in saying that I should look into some conselling

Yeah I try and be as honest about it as i can

i just don't know how to deal with how bleak reality

is

Im just lucky my ex was like "you had a fucking brutal time growing up you need to talk about it"

and i didnt believe her for ages

sorry for interputing again, and sorry for late reply, I think I get it about gender roels, but isn't quite liberal (and wrong) position to claim that individual can freely choose its gender? Isn't that gender is cleary socialy given to the individual (like value on market is socially given - when interaction with market or smth) and it is closley related to its biological sex (what can individual do in society to be productive member of its society). We must agree that gender roles serve some kind of purpose or they would not exist.

I dont think people really choose it

Yeah i agree with the deterministic view there

its about getting people to change there perspectives about what they define as male and female

and showing how arbitrary and unjustified it is

and also I mean it'd help if people just generally calmed down about it

not to mention that it is impossible to maintain a 100% productive society

like not everyone can produce physical tangible goods with value based on our limited resources

you're also right though people take this way to seriously

mehh, In general I think that left is giving too much thought and energy into all that gender thing - at least in the west.

thats why people listen to JBP and his things on the pronoun police

Yeah policing language is silly

shaming people for not knowing any better is even sillier

I think its just a matter of being polite

look language doesn't have to be policed we can all look the nazi in the face and call him a shithead when he spews his bullshit

or agree to to kick him and lie to the cops

no one is arguing that you get the bullet if you slip up on pronouns once

that's such shit

nah man

we weare all about pronoun police and trans nkvd guards

for the gulags
