I feel like people have different definitions of what an SJW is though. Someone would probably call me an SJW simply for not being anti-tranny but I would call someone an SJW for excessively responding to some faggot on 4chan who IS anti-tranny with no awareness of where you are. Being SJW is more about how you act than what you believe imo.

Not accurate at all anon. The difference is in Japan most "genderspecials" prefer to mind their business and are quite happy to go on about their lives as normal. In Japan transgender issues are classified as health related, so for that reason accomodations and treatments follow fairly strict but discrete guidelines. Just because you don't see people screeching in the streets or see every tom dick and harry throwing on a dress and calling themselves a woman doesn't mean it's not a thing or that trans people don't have rights in Japan.

In the us there's a big push in sjw circles to de-medicalize transition (such that one wouldn't have to meet any particular medical criteria for diagnosis/HRT) and viewing transness as a medical issue is weirdly considered inappropriate. This is why its turned into a total clusterfuck. A lot of other places handle it as a medical issue and people go on about their trans lives with little fanfare.

>>10699925
This is ignorant at best. Trannies are considered mentally ill in Japan still and are just trendy among younger people. The reason that treatment is so hush hush is because of social stigmas, and everything in Japanese medicine has strict guidelines. Also men there do literally put on dresses and call themselves women, it's an entire subset of gay culture.
The second part of your post is just also not correct. Being transgender in the west used to be a mental issue but it's being pushed by lobbyists as a medical condition that only requires a mental evaluation and a physical check up for diag. They're also trying to make treatment considered essential and non-cosmetic(but again this is from lobbyists making money at the top in a multibillion dollar industry that profits off of sugeries and follow up) SJWs just latched onto it because lobbyists started citing conversion therapy from the 1950s and other modern countries and it was easy to cause people to knee-jerk and demand it be considered a medical issue and not a mental one. Mental would mean transgender people get therapy to try to cope and accept their current selves and surgery would be a last resort, meaning no surgery $$$. SJWs literally do not understand why they feel one way or another about anything other than feels, and you can see that when they are advocating to push a life changing procedure on people who are mentally unstable or feel trans on a whim.

not entirely. among young westerners there's a sentiment that being a "transmedicalist"/"transmed" is up there with being a full-fledged transphobe. a "transmedicalist" is someone like >>10699925
is describing, where they believe a trans identity is considered a a health/medical affair, often based in dysphoria, and should be approached from a healthcare perspective--but young western SJWs are trying to unlink the medical system from the trans identity. many (most?) people don't see an issue with a standard mtf or ftm transition but these SJWs are also trying to completely dismantle the concept of gender entirely and it's really weird

>dismantle the concept of gender entirely and it's really weird
Not part of this conversation but just jumped in to say I think true gender abolition is totally fine. I doubt society would ever get there beyond like legally, and even then unlikely because it's a category useful for measuring various things, especially since women have faced discrimination or difficultly from the government and on other levels. Similar to race where I think it'd be cool if we forgot about it but pretending people don't discriminate based on or identify with those socially constructed descriptors and identities just removes our opportunity to help bring equality/equity to people in those groups because it would make it harder to gather data.

A post-gender or post-racial world sounds cool in concept, but I doubt there is any short term value to pushing things in that direction until we fix a lot of the problems in society that are heavily gendered or racialized. Gender abolition isn't inherently weird. Just currently impractical.

>>10699993
Actual trans people are pretty fucking attached to their gender anon. That's kind of the whole point of a transition. This is how I determine if someone is actually trans or a nutbag. For real trans people being perceived as and integrating with their correct gender id is extremely important. Fakers/genderspecials are just super insecure about every part of themselves and want to leverage that damage into dismantling any system by which they might be judged or compared to anyone else. It's the same reason why their always screeching about a revolution and LARPing about what they'll do in the new communist takeover.

Dismantling gender and the logic behind it is actually super problematic towards real trans people. Gender is not just a construct, there are real physical and mental attributes that come from having testosterone or estrogen as your dominant hormone. One isn't better or superior, but there are very real differences and anyone who thinks otherwise is just trying to argue with simple facts about the human brain and body.

[Anonymous No.10700008]

>>10700002
General sexual dimorphism and hormones imoacting your body are a real thing and all and like I said gender abolition would be impractical, the things you listed are another reason for that. I'm just a cis girl and I'm a very stereotypically girly cis girl too. I'm not saying this from the perspective of some enby blue haired tumblr addict who is ashamed of my breasts or whatever, I just don't feel opposed to the idea of eliminating gender if it was practical to do so. It doesn't help anything to do that currently though so there is no reason to. There is nothing inherently problematic about the *idea* of eradicating gender. It just would be impossible to do or makes little sense to put effort towards in the forseeable future so it's not helpful to focus on any time soon.

I understand the 'actually trans' people far better than I do the 'nutbags/genderspecials', partly because I have a few trans friends who fall into the former category and they've explained their experiences to me but also because I think the genderspecials are a bit confusing.

Gender (identity) to my understanding is a social construct; how you present yourself socially. So if you're trans and you want to align with your gender identity, then does that involve presenting yourself in ways that align with your gender? That's where most of my tranny friends fall into, because they feel dysphoric about being perceived as their biological sex and feel like themselves when they present as their gender identity.

However, gender-specials often break that pattern, with ftm lolitas for example. This leads me to the argument that I think gender-specials are trying to make which is that we should eliminate the association between feminine/masculine clothing and the gender of those wearing it, or just gendered clothing all together. I've also noticed that those who practice this tend to not describe themselves as dysphoric.

And the question is then, are you trans if you don't experience dysphoria? I personally lean towards 'no', but I also think it can be dangerous to focus too much on that since if we do, we start treating trans people like they're mentally ill and need to be 'fixed'. They do have treatment which is just the process of transitioning lmao, but it isn't illness like schizophrenia is.

I also think that even if I don't believe gender-specials are trans in the same way that dysphoria fags are, the core of what they're saying is interesting and worth exploring, since it questions what gender is in a sociological sense. With the abolition of gender, what would gender identity even be? Ultimately, I don't care what anyone is calling themselves but it's interesting.

[Anonymous No.10700054]

>>10700047
>are you trans if you don't experience dysphoria?
NTA but a real live sane trans person here. If you don't experience dysphoria you are not transgender. It doesn't mean you're not queer or something else, but dysphoria is the defining characteristic of the need for medical transition. I actually think of transness as a mental health issue. Not that trans people are crazy or unhinged, but because the problem is a disconnect between my mind and my body, and I actually think if people thought of it more as a health issue rather than a social issue, it would be a lot easier for genuinely trans people to get treatment and live their lives.

Gender-specials, imho, are basically the everyday equivalent of drag queens. They play with gender and gender norms and I think there's genuinely a place in society for questioning these norms. But that place isn't playing fast and loose with the trans community and insisting that their needs and experiences are the same as or even as valid as the needs and experiences of actual trans people who need to feel integrated in society. These are the same fucktards out here criticizing *actual* trans people for getting life changing medical treatment because their conforming or whatever just because they themselves can't stomach making a lot of permanent changes because it turns out, they're rarely if ever actually interested in transitioning more than they are interested in calling out social norms. The fact that they can't see how this behavior is at the expense of actual trans people shows how weirdly narcistic their approach to "activism" is. They are the "i don't see color" equivalent for trans people.

I eventually just give up and I give up quite quickly because I'm insecure. When I want to have sex with a guy at a con I want a romantic adventure and feel wanted. I guess guys at cons are also insecure.

being on the other side, I'm pretty good looking and can hold a convo, but I'm pure dogshit at seeing signs girls are into me. This is probably a pretty common thing of "nerds that blew up after high school/college but still don't know how to engage romantically with girls". It's like I interpret every sign in the most unromantic way possible. This one time, I went for a drive with a chick and she parked up in a secluded spot, turned to me, and asked if I would ever have sex in a car, and I just went "why? that sounds really uncomfortable. I'd rather just do it in a bed" and we drove off like 5 min later. It only hit me a week later. I also hard agree with >>10700463, cons have a fuckton of creeps, and I personally don't want to be mistaken for one (and get kicked out/bother people). idk just be as direct as possible, girls get more leeway with being creepy than guys do at cons.

The next morning my friend is getting accused or rape by this girl and she turned the entire group on him with this accusation. Then the next night this girl is bragging to me how she didn't really feel raped and she just wanted him to leave in the morning (she didn't know I was his friend). fuck women at cons.

You see the problem is you're retarded. Gender and race exist and are meaningful definitions. They aren't simply made up imaginary terms, this idea that they are is a form of post-modernist thought which is currently the cultural zeitgeist of the time.

Labels are important, it informs people about who they are, what roles they are good at. Whatever argument you have, people like to conform, people like to feel that they belong to a wider community. Hence why civilisation as soon as it started grew exponentially. Stripping people of their ability to conform to certain traditions destroys this ability to feel part of a whole.

Eventually when all natural labels are destroyed the only labels left to exist will be labels which are fitted to consumers of certain products. Apple is a great example of this, people who buy Apple products like to buy Apple products because not only are they getting a good product, they're buying an identity. If you're observant you would have noticed that as society has pushed away from natural labels, corporations have immediately filled the gaps by becoming "lifestyle brands". This is not a coincidence, also why big brands love the idea of getting rid of natural labels. You consume an identity, you are the perfect consumer. A completely blank slate looking for some group to identify with since you have nothing of your own. Thanks for speeding up the corporatist dystopia.

I fall into the good looking but autistic guy category so heres my take. Most girls are absolutely terrible at flirting and guys are mostly terrified of misinterpreting signals and proceeding to have their life ruined. At most the pinnacle of a girl flirting is making it known she is available to be dated. For example see:
>>10700426
>>10700437

99% of girls will never escalate or chase a guy. It's expected that the guy must escalate and that's very scary especially for guys with low social skills who know they misinterpret people often.

My skills are so bad that I once had a work friend, very pretty girl, we hung out lots, she gave me free art lessons. For my birthday she rented out a hotel for me and her, she bought all the alcohol and dinner for me. She got me very, very drunk since I hardly drink at all I have no idea about standard drink sizes or how much is in what. The room was only 1 bedroom, so I assumed she would get the bed and I'd sleep on the couch. She disagreed and begged me to sleep in the bed with her. Then she complained of being cold and asked if I could hug her to warm her up. So I did and spooned her. She grabbed my hand and basically squeezed her boob with my hand. I still didn't get the message and just thought it was comfortable for her to be like that. Eventually she got fed up and given she had a lot to drink herself said, "Oh my God anon. Look, here." She turned herself over and pressed her boobs into my face.

Then I got the message.

I've actually had women do almost the same thing as your second story only for me to make a move and for them to freak out cause apparently it was totally NOT an invitation.

Based on what though? Most evidence about the disparity between black/white convictions is not "fucked harder than anyone else".

[Anonymous No.10720152]

>>10720150
kek you really don't know how stats work do you? First off, 6% in a statistically significant result is absolutely MASSIVE. And that's not even accounting for other biases outside the scope of the study, like the fact that DAs are much more likely to prosecute minorities/poor people in general. Every part of how the DAs office works is to incentivize them to pursue cases they can win. If you were to divide by income I bet you'd see a similar pattern because rich people are annoying to prosecute and harder to convict. DAs always look for the low hanging fruit, and that's why you'll see discrepancies like this.

at least in USA, i can't say how it is in other countries but we don't have many cons in our winter months.
also it's easier to talk about the events after they happened instead of before because all it is at that point is just speculating. or at least closer to the event happening. a lot of these threads are made months and months in advance when a lot of people who are going don't even plan that far ahead.

Discussion of cons on /cgl/ is pretty pointless unless your state/area/country doesn't have more than 1 or 2 cons per year.

The chance that /cgl/ will return to pre 2019 level discussion of cons is slim to none, it's now about doomer talk, laughing about con figures that do vtuber/social media these days.

Y'all better listen to this anon.

I remember seeing trans stuff and similar LGBT/Mental illness related content on tumblr back in ~2011. How surreal it is to have seen the effects of /that/ "discourse"--which was really just a functional cult imo-- on members of my own generation and the one following.

I don't feel scorn or mockery toward those who subscribe to such ideologies. Now that I'm older, all of /that/ that I saw on tumblr seems like a really well-planned out infiltration and propaganda/marketing scheme. As I said before, it's surreal to have seen discourse of /that/ mutate in real time and have real effects in the world 10+ years later.

>they are advocating to push a life changing procedure on people who are mentally unstable or feel trans on a whim

What sucks it that I've seen /that/ take hold of several friends of mine. And it's not just my generation. I've had gen Z coworkers tell me stuff like, "I'm ()gender to piss off the cis". It's like a script these people are rattling off, a surefire input that will get back at the man (whoever that may be)?? "Turn one's insecurities into mental illness and belong!" It's disturbing.

I can't imagine how many other impressionable people have done irreparable damage to their bodies or have made themselves bona fide mentally ill so they can fit into a niche. After seeing all of /that/, I honestly believe delusions of mental illness can be spread to those without a sense of self, and because the human brain is like a computer--and will do what you tell it--those who say "hey I'm mentally ill/ trans/ whatever 'tumblrina' (!) illness" will really become that.

I've actually thought about making content/videos/whatever solely focused on how much lolita costs. I've never liked how everyone tiptoes around each other - I hate the whole "How much did you pay?" "Too much lol" thing we do. I wanted to make content that adds brutal transparency to how much things cost on the secondhand market and how much effort is involved in getting a lot of items. I feel like it would help newcomers know what to expect (especially if their dream wardrobe is based on off viral/popular wardrobe pictures). I feel like there is too much content focused on "lolita is cheap and it's easy to start!"

It invites unwanted criticism, jealousy, or speculation about your lifestyle. At worst, people can act maliciously or beg you to buy things from them. No one wants to advertise that they have hundreds or thousands of extra dollars in spending money. If you're sooooo curious to know what certain items cost, secondhand sites retain that sales information for free.

>New people get the wrong idea and then gasp when they find out $50 can't get them a full sweet AP coord in 2022.

This is only a problem for extreme poorfags, literal teenagers, or retards that can't use google. No normal adult who has any knowledge about the fashion industry or quality clothes would find $300 for a dress surprising. That's honestly on the cheaper side of fashion.

WIP threads are cool but people (including myself sometimes) don't like posting easily identifiable pieces. last thing I want is some pol schizo identifying me at a con and saying some dumb shit and bringing the horde down on me. That, or people dogpiling on someone. I think this is a common issue of other crafters on the board (that, and all the coomers).

I'd shill for a crafting discord, but the ones I've seen are usually just full of lurkers. there's really no solid solution.

black men harass women then use the race card and get away with it kek there was a viral video on tiktok showing a black male harassing a white teen then he called her racist for not wanting to be a harassed. A mentally stable male doesnt worry about this shit because it doesnt happen. If people believed women then they would put males to jail and that shit rarely happens. Women can have proof and theyre still called liars. Let me guess, youre not aware of white women being silenced when they say theyre raped by immigrant men in europe because apparently its racism?

>Women are the backbone of programming and science
They really aren't. Most coding inventions that are anachronistcally attributed to women to give credit to the idea "men steal everything" are usually women who were involved in large teams of people that included both men and women. It has nothing to do with men stealing their work, it's moreso these women don't have any right to take sole credit for the work. Maybe if they led the teams but even then it's sort of dubious.

This idea that WE WUZ PROGRAMMARS is literally the same thing as Bantu descendents in America claiming the Egyptians Pharohs (especially Cleopatra for some reason) were black Africans. It's just post-modernist dribble built off of resentment for their own inferiority complex. Being unable to achieve things in your own life isn't an excuse to rewrite history.

Extending upon this

Here's a quick timeline
1804 - Jaqard's Loom invented, a semi-automated proto computer that used punchcards as programs
1820 - Charles Babbage creates the Difference Engine, the first automated mechanical comptuer
1837 - Charles Babbage creates the first true programmable computer called the Analytical Machine
1842 - Ada Lovelace creates the first true computer program for the Analytical Machine
1920 - Saw the first uses of electrical computers which required manual routing
1930 - Alonzo Church discovers lamba calculus which is the foundation for all modern programming languages
1942 - Konrad Zuse elaborates on what would have been the first high-level programming language
1949 - John Mauchly invents Short Code, the first true high-level programming language
1950 - Alick Glennie invents AutoCode the first true compiled language
1954 - An IBM team led by John Backus invents FORTRAN
1958 - John McCarthy invents LISP
1959 - Grace Hopper and her team invents the forerunner to COBAL
1959 - COBAL is made
1965-69 - Simula, the first OOP was invented by two male Norweigan scientists
1972 - Three male computer scientists invents Prolog, the first logic orientated programming language
1973 - C was invented by Ritchie and Thompson, both male comptuer scientists
1974 - SQL was released by two male computer scientists working at IBM
1976 - A team of 5 people, including one woman invent S, the precursor to R
1982- Bjarne Stroussup releases C++
1983 - Cleve Moler releases MATLAB which implemented his thesis work from the 60s
1987 - Larry Wall invents Perl
1988 - Stephen Wolfram released Wolfram
1990 - Guido Van Rossum invents Python
1991 - Alan Cooper in collaboration with Microsoft invents Visual Basic
1993 - Two male computer scientists invent R
1995 - Three male computer scientists invent Java
1995 - Yukihiro Matsumoto invents Ruby
1995 - Rasmus Lerdorf invents PHP
2000 - Anders Hejlsberd working at Microsoft invents C#

[Anonymous No.10735038]

>>10735035
1996 - 2005 - Terry A Davis invents HolyC
2006 - A Microsoft team led by 3 men released PowerShell
2009 - A Google team led by 3 mean released Go
2010 - An Apple team led by Chris Lattner release Swift
2011 - A team led by Dmitry Jemerov released Kotlin

And so women are not the backbone of computer science. They have certainly been apart of it but most of the crucial turning points and moments have been completed by men. Whether you chalk this up to lack of opportunity or whatever is irrelevant, most innoventions in programming have been completed by men.
