Has anyone read this tranny book? This review makes it look interesting (I am not a shill, I do hate trannies though)
https://shenviapologetics.com/affirming-ourselves-to-death-a-review-of-shriers-irreversible-damage/

>“I want you to know that it’s okay to walk away from unsupportive or disrespectful or even abusive parents…I want to give you hope that you can find what we call your ‘glitter family,’ your ‘queer family.’ We are out there, and the relationships that we make in our glitter families are just as real, just as meaningful as our blood families” (p. 51).
>“Deceiving parents and doctors is justified if it helps transition” (p. 52)
>“If your parents loved you, they would support your trans identity.” (p. 49)

This shit operates like a cult. How did it take this long for someone to write this book? It seems like all the information is lying around in the open, and the interpretation (that it's a cult) is the most obvious one. Wasn't there another book on the tranny phenomenon too lately? Does anyone remember the title?

It's not about really about trannies. It's about hysteria in teenage girls. There are trannies in there which she accepts as real trannies, because they didn't do it from a sudden fashion craze and didn't do it with as much teenage peer pressure, so it won't deal with what you see as the tranny phenomenon most likely. It will, however, give you a glimpse of something much worse: teenage girls now get more hormones and surgery than any other group, with exponentially more of them getting medical interventions for being trans than ALL other trannies combined. It's a much more recent phenomenon which is riding on the back of what you probably consider the general tranny phenomenon. It does the cult like aspects well, but they're also common to most teenage hysterias (pro-ana cults, pop star cults, etc).
The author said she only wrote it because of the really sudden onset of teenage girls confessing to be trannies at rates that were never present in women of any age group now or before. It's a much easier target than broader tranny phenomena, because it's basically only since 2015 it took off, and because they are getting so much more treatment than all other ages and genders of trannies.

Shrier's book also covers lesbian erasure. At one point one of the teenagers she's interviewing knows a lot of tranny ftms at her school, but says that being a lesbian is kind of a dirty word. She's quick to point out some are probably lesbians trying to hide an uncool status, but most are probably just teenage girls on a bandwagon.

Isn't it a natural extension of Shrier's thesis that the wider tranny phenomenon, and probably a lot of other trendy "causes" that are really damaging self-indulgent nonsense, are caused by female hysteria and groupthink?

Most people dislike trannies people they instinctively find them repulsive. Same reason why people hate burn victims or people born without legs or very tiny heads that can't support a fully developed brain, etc etc. This is coming from the perspective of somebody who is sensitive to disgust, trannies literally look like deformed mutants at least 95% of the time.

>the wider tranny phenomenon, and probably a lot of other trendy "causes" that are really damaging self-indulgent nonsense, are caused by female hysteria and groupthink
Not really. She thinks the historical rates should maintain, and that would mean trannies were more usually a male phenomenon. She thinks the current teenage girl phenomenon is hysteria, but it doesn't expand to all women. Part of her case for it being historically a pretty static number of trannies and the current trend being a teenage phenomenon is that women in general are not doing it, but women under the age of 25. She points out that if it were just females being ignored by history, older women should be coming out as trans at near equal rates to the teenagers. Teenage females however are not just the majority of female trannies, but of ALL trannies.
The best argument you could make is that since the teenage girls now dominate the group, that it's women's behaviour. But that doesn't explain the rest of the trannies.
She mentions mtf trannies are disturbed at the new trend, but a lot of the popularisation these girls are latching on to was done with mtf trannies. The female hysteria about it is an addition to the trend, but males were historically bigger trannies in her account.
She doesn't lay the blame solely on female teenagers being hysterical, because she includes social media and trans activists/schools in her explanation of the phenomenon, but it would be really hard to make the argument that she believes it was a majority female phenomenon before 2015, since it wasn't.

All the points brought up won't be surprising to anyone who's been paying attention (did you know trans influencers tend not to talk about the negative aspects of transitioning?)
At the same time she uses language that would cause any pro-trans readers to dismiss it immediately, like referring to surgery as mutilation.
The only thing novel about it is that an openly anti-trans book managed to get published at all.

I don't think women would be the trannies themselves (which is why her findings about teen girls are so interesting), I'm just saying that women's natural groupthink and proneness to cults and in-group moral-policing behaviors was one of the major ways in which tranny bullshit found acceptance in the mainstream. Granted the original trannies are just gay men and tranvestitism fetishists, but they would have stayed in their normal spaces if faux progressive women hadn't seized on the opportunity to grandstand by championing the rights of freaks.

Oh I see. She does somewhat deal with this but obliquely. Since part of being a teenager is rebellion, she thinks the parents generally being liberal is part of the cause. If getting your bellybutton pierced gets a "You go, girl!" from your mom as a teenager, you're going to have to try something more extreme to get your mom to freak and disown you, is part of thinking on the matter she expresses. The book also underlines how many are from liberal and supportive families who are scared shitless they will also lose their friends and jobs if they don't go along with it, and how, instead of what used happen where families would cut off trans kids as demon spawn, now families get cut off by their kids who still expect them to pay rent and surgery costs.

Transgenderism is a natural result of technocapitalism. In an age where beauty can be so easily and rapidly commodified and manipulated, the ideal man and ideal woman (their appearance, behavior, and lifestyle) are more alienated than ever from the average citizen. What results is a mass migration out of this hellish plastic binary and into the protean, amoebic flux of gender nonconformity (including transgenders). I find it amusing that the people most vocally interested in upholding "traditional" norms of beauty, upper-middle-class conservatives, are precisely the ones feeding the transgender machine by doubling down on this unobtainable ur-femme idol. Pushed to the margins, the proles who've been subliminally deemed ugly and worthless are creating new hierarchies that reify their value as being derived from within, not without, and I don't blame them. I'm a man, but it's hard not to pity women--even the average-looking ones are under a constant, dehumanizing pressure for sex and affection, from men, from other women, from their families and from colleagues and superiors. Throw on top of that the everyday reminders that she isn't beautiful enough compared to the Khloes and Beyonces, and the dissonance is enough to destroy any teenage soul. "I'm not good enough, so why do people keep demanding more of me?" Confusing times we occupy.

It's not a book by a scientist, so since she's a journalist there isn't a handy appendix with all the charts and figures. It jumps between personal stories and stats, and social media lists and scientific reviews, so it's a bit of a bitch to find if she has an overall rate in there even with the index.
Someone's bound to have pirated it by now, because it's been out quite a few months, if you want to try it yourself.
The section with the rate of increase is about Dr Littman, an epidemiologist who tried to coin a new term for the rise in teenage girls (rapid onset gender dysphoria), who got harassed out of the discourse because she found out it seemed to have a social media origin for some cases, rather than a born this way origin as the mainstream narrative likes to view all cases. But that might not help you because as far as I can see, that study was about how ~70% of them had an atypical presentation, so it's a study on differences between typically presenting teen ftms and that being dwarfed by the new variant which she wanted to give a new name. AFAIK Littman doesn't study specifically gender related epidemiology, so like I said, it might not help to find the raw stats of all teenage girls, but she might have included it too.
I'm reading something else atm, so I'm not going to go back through the whole book for you. There's bound to be some stats on teens specifically somewhere because of the division of adult and child services.

The most sinister part of the last one is that there are healthy families that don't accept what one member decides to be, because it is unhealthy for that person, or the family as a whole.
If your actual family that has been healthy up until now tells you they don't want you to medically transition, then you need to do some serious consideration as to where the influence to do so came from.
I didn't know they called it a "glitter family" but that makes me intensely more suspicious due to the obvious effects it would have on children.

One of the problems with cults is that they're offering an alternative to people whose families are already abusive.

In the OP book there's a great example of this with the trans cult: a case study of a tween girl who slowly gets indoctrinated by mass media and peer groups. The book describes how she pulls away from her family and becomes more disturbed every time she hits another stage in indoctrination.

But who are her parents? A pair of lesbians. This girl was already experiencing some kind of abuse at their hands, but the book never mentions it, because its narrative is about the corruption of homosexuals with trans ideology.

If adults want to do it I don't care, they're consenting adults. Children are not, and their parents can't "consent for them" and more than a parent can decide if their kid is gay or straight.
If a child chooses to "wear a costume" in the form of clothing or other non-invasive practices then it's just the child doing what it wants.
Tons of boys try on their mom's heels when they're younger, including me and my brothers. That doesn't mean they need to have their biology dangerously rewired at a hormonally sensitive age. It means they're curious about what femininity is/want to look silly, and it's totally normal.

That is close to the *book's* premise which anon is trying to understand. However, to add nuance that the book has: it's that teenage girls are having incidences within friend groups of near 100%, where there seems to be social contagion.
>something about time is the cause of your premise and not the fact that females are the subjects of your premise (women existed before this shift you claim to observe in their premise, yes?)
It's a hysteria and women are more prone to them and group contagions of them. There are male outbreaks of them (eg the jumping Frenchmen of Maine), but usually they are mostly or entirely female. Convents, all girls schools, and other female dominated settings are a risk factor for mass psychogenic illness.
>>17166547
I like reading about hysteria.
> Isn't the task of presenting oneself as a masculine or feminine being simply an aesthetic choice, similar to a selection in clothing
This is a performative view of gender, which isn't generally acceptable to current trans activists, and has long been a battleground for feminists before they even thought about tranners. It's considered anti-feminist in some circles, most usually because it was a way to reject the fashion standard set by Helena Rubenstein, the make up mogul, which is best summed up in her phrase
>There are no ugly women, only lazy ones.
Current trends in femininity were formed in part by the feminist movement which rejected that idea, so femininity was no longer a question of presentation or performance. That's carried over into trans activism so many now claim it doesn't matter how one has presented oneself, you have to validate their (invisible) internal self conception. People who demand others validate their internal self conception regardless of external performance usually have more complex psychological troubles than a mere neurosis.
>>17166589
Yeah fan conventions tend to have that kind of complex psychological troubles in greater numbers than the general population too. It's not solely a function of transgenderism, and usually the transgenderism or fandom is an outlet more than the cause.

>Hormones and reassignment surgery aren't a costume
They are however largely cosmetic, and hormones in particular are overused (not solely by transsexuals, because women who want bigger tits and no kids and men who want bigger pecs and less hairloss are also pumping industrial quantities into our waterways). The consent issue ignores that nonconsensual harm.

>younger children have the option of puberty blockers (which simply delay puberty; no deleterious long term effects)
This isn't strictly true. Delaying puberty has immense risks, and they used only be prescribed in cases where early puberty was going to do extreme damage because flooding an immature body with hormones from a tumour/genetic defect was worse than letting nature take its course. The use of them in otherwise healthy teenagers needs more study but to say they only delay puberty is dangerously close to misinformed consent. It can cause puberty, which is necessary for adult maturation, to never happen. It can also deprive the body of necessary organ development (both if you decide to not transition and if you do) and the other hormonal effects of puberty, along with causing problems in bone mineralisation. The cases which used get these drugs had problems like cancer or hereditary diseases or problems with bone growth, where psychological factors were not weighed against real risks of deformation or death and where consent was highly informed. Now only psychological factors are weighed, and little none of the physical medical risk of the drug is conveyed. Informed consent would require the strong potential for deleterious long term effects, both known and unknown, to be conveyed to the standard reasonable person. That's why the legal challenge in the UK was successful, because we wouldn't treat any other patient that way.

I believe there are theories ("autogynephelia" is the term) that posit that transgenderism comes from sexual stuff. However, trans people dress as their preferred gender during the most mundane parts of their lives, and these contexts is so divorced from sex that I can't in good faith call it sexual. We can derive psychosexual roots for many of our impulses, but those impulses themselves are not necessary sexual when carried out.

>>17166908
I agree with you to some extent. But why would you refuse to participate in their charade? If a biological male changed his name to "Katie" because he liked it, would you also refuse to address him by his preferred name? It makes little difference to me whether somebody wants to be referred to as "he/she". You don't need to literally believe that a trans man is a biological male to just use his referent pronoun of choice. If a trans man looks very masculine it is, in fact, more convenient to use the term "he" to avoid confusion.

>>17166934
what?

>>17167241
Feminine hysteria is certainly a literary theme, and a major theme in modernist literature, yes. You're deeply confused if you think it's real. The term hysteria is derived from hustera, meaning womb, because quacks thought (until relatively recently) that women were driven to madness by their uteruses leaving their wombs and traveling throughout their bodies, causing them unbearable pain. You really think this idea is worth exploring? And you egregiously try to make sociological theories using it as your evidence? Unfortunately for you, you are very stupid...

why do you assume that anybody who simply considers the arguments that trans activists make are themselves trans? I'm not trans but you are very clearly hateful.

You make an interesting claim that artificially stopping the natural onset of puberty could be dangerous. I am inclined to agree with you based off of intuition. However, human intuition can often be refuted with empirical evidence. Here is the actual research I have encountered:

"research has shown that suppression of puberty is safe, causing minimal side effects [6]. If parents become concerned about this treatment, they can safely and easily stop treatment and allow development to restart normally in the biological sex."

>Early cross-sex hormonal interventions (that is, between 16 and 18) as a treatment for young transsexuals are often considered to be risky. However, the delay of such treatment until after the development of secondary sex characteristics has obvious drawbacks for transsexual individuals. This paper reports a postoperative follow-up case-study of a female-to-male transsexual who was treated with a combination of an LHRH agonist (which delayed her secondary sex characteristics development) and psychotherapy at age 13, and subsequently underwent sex reassignment at 18.

Whether or not one indulges the charade of another should really be up to them. But instead we have a situation where if I dont play along, I'm accused of doing violence to that person's socially constructed identity. I think that's madness, and clearly just a way to coerce people into playing along with someone's sexual fetish despite not consenting to it. Also, at worst, it may not be a charade but actually be a delusion, and I think it's actually immoral to feed into someone's delusions when you know that's what they are. If I encountered a schizophrenic I would not feed his own rantings back at him. That would be cruel and wrong. Why so with someone who's truly gender dysphoric? Sometimes the right thing to do is not the thing that the person in the delusional state wants you to do.

Also, as to the hysteria thing, does the etymology matter? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Everyone knows there are fundamental reasons for why certain women are often called hysterical, reasons grounded in behavior. Besides, I've seen the term applied to men also, again for their behavior.

>Feminine hysteria is certainly a literary theme, and a major theme in modernist literature, yes. You're deeply confused if you think it's real
It is real. It has very real effects on sufferers. It's well documented throughout history.
>The term hysteria is derived from hustera, meaning womb, because quacks thought (until relatively recently) that women were driven to madness by their uteruses leaving their wombs and traveling throughout their bodies, causing them unbearable pain. You really think this idea is worth exploring?
Except the wandering womb theory was entirely poopooed for centuries, especially in the modern era, and hysteria persists with a different meaning. I mean, contemporary to both the ancient idea you are using _and_ the very different modern ideas of hysteria, people believed tuberculosis was caused by vampires. Do you think that means tuberculosis is not real? Or perhaps you think that means modern ideas of tuberculosis are entirely not worth exploring. Is that the level of stupid your lack of understanding of the modern age took you to? Hysteria is bad because they changed the idea since antiquity but tuberculosis maintaining the vampire explanation for much longer is a-okay? Jesus.

Men and women are different. It doesn’t mean men are superior to women, but they’re verifiably different. Denying it and claiming any evidence of this is “sexist” is just being as brainwashed as the /pol/tards, only in the opposite way.

The etymology is important because that is where the term "hysteria" originates in a clinical sense. You are also using the term in its clinical sense in your earlier posts, in which you attribute a sociological phenomenon to "hysteria". How else am I to interpret your use of the word in order to describe a type of feminine madness? How does that not look like you truly buy in to antiquated sexist beliefs? The APA dropped the term long ago, as should you if you want your analysis to be taken seriously.

"Mass hysteria" in the context of women and the historical "hysteria" used to explain away the legitimate mental illnesses of women are two separate things.

My friends, I am trying to tell you that your analysis of the situation is unempirical. Yes, we all know that trans women are not biological women. However, they choose to socially function as women, and so that is why people refer to them as women. This whole "all our kids are going to be trans now!" smacks of the same fearmongering that homophobes crooned just a few decades ago.

In a way they're sterilising the mentally ill, the easily manipulated, the narcissistic and the sexual deviants on a scale that probably would impress even Hitler. What annoys me is the genuflection towards these people. They are the Court Eunuchs of Globalism who control every HR department and are beyond criticism despite their batshit insane fetish.

Not really. Transexuality is a means through which one can declare themselves a victim. As a reaction to fascism, we've declared that anyone who claims to be a victim based on some innate characteristic must be protected - in this case, claiming to be born in the wrong body.

>I find it amusing that the people most vocally interested in upholding "traditional" norms of beauty, upper-middle-class conservatives, are precisely the ones feeding the transgender machine by doubling down on this unobtainable ur-femme idol.
It's not surprising at all. The upper-middle class are still essentially religious conservatives - they're going along with the religious orthodoxy of the time. It's a modern sacrament in the victimary religion.

You haven’t read the book. It’s not a case of “all our kids are going to be trans!”, that’s a strawman. It doesn’t matter morally whether only 1% of trans kids aren’t actually happier being trans and have been brainwashed into it, or 5%, or 10%, or 30% or 90%. The very case studies Shrier presents, the fact that academics like Littman have been harassed out of their jobs for talking about rapid-onset gender dysphoria, and the fact that it’s “transphobic” to mention this according to the mainstream media and current zeitgeist is the issue. Shrier herself is a surprisingly milquetoast liberal who frequently takes pains to virtue signal about how she’s not against transgenderism in itself, is a feminist, sees nothing wrong with homosexuality, etc., and was simply a journalist who decided to research an unconventional, “politically incorrect” topic and was appalled to find what’s lying behind the surface here.

Lesbianism can definitely be a political position, but it has an important part in human development. Most girls go through a phase of intense same sex attraction, but some remain in that phase. The purpose of the more general phase during the preteen and early teen years is to practise partnership without the risk of getting pregnant too early, and it helps teenagers develop and learn about trust and cooperation and dependability (or their opposites). There are negative reasons why some don't grow out of it, such as they fail to develop a sense of self responsibility and social responsibility, but most of those call themselves bisexual. But there are positive reasons too where they play an auxiliary role in raising the next generation and don't become the burden most mothers are in society but also don't bear the risk of death from conflict/disease/accident that men have. Lesbians are more violent in romantic relationships, but they still carry less risk to both mothers and children compared to a likewise unrelated male in that auxiliary role, while their potential for violence and possessiveness of the mother mimics the male authority necessary for a reasonably stable child in the absence of a male figure.
What's actually poisonous about the social construction of the political lesbians was their aversion to male children, which is a development which only really happened in the 1980s. Until then, the spinster auntie was a much more common lesbian trope.
The expansion of gay populations currently is mostly socially constructed, and largely because the social construct of marriage has fallen apart. Before gay males would marry because it gave them citizenship rights, while females who were gay just didn't marry because they weren't going to be citizens either way. Now we have a few generations raised by divorce, and an explosion of gayness and bisexuality who don't intend to have children and especially do not intend to take care of someone else's kid as a cold but just authoritarian figure. The social construct of divorce is making that happen as it's completely changed child rearing, so female teenagers don't develop through that phase but get stuck in it, unable to grasp the purpose of sex or partnership in a basic biological sense.
The explosion of gay males without the civic responsibility they once had is also spiralling. While females have a natural intense same sex attraction phase, gay males can be produced by lack of an authority figure, or, more horrifically and more usually, by gay predators. Instead of a family unit of two parents who might hand the boy at worst to a lesbian, males are now being raised by single mothers who think they are still teenagers and the risk of exposure to homosexual predation is growing for them. There's a reason the pedo priests went for single mothers with male children, and those kids turned out gay more often than the girls targeted by priests or nuns (who also target boys sexually less)
