> can probably be used to shame the WP into cleaning their shit up what if your goal is for wikipedia to be biased in your favor?

  No no no, you see, you got it all wrong. If the Wikipedia article on, let’s say, transsexualism, says that’s an orientation, not a disease—then that’s leftist bias. Removing that bias means correcting it to say it’s a mental illness, obviously. That makes the article unbiased, pure truth.

      It only seems to be a problem for bigots like you. Trans folks just want to live their lives. Why can’t you leave them the fuck alone?

          You can’t hold an entire group of people responsible for the actions of a few extremists, unless you want to stop Christians and Muslims as well. And don’t get me started on all the shit men pull off worldwide, yet I don’t see you rallying against heterosexuality?

              > At least most Christians and Muslims accept that others don't believe in their religion and, for the most part, don't force them to act as if they do. I've actually found Christians in America quite to be forcing their beliefs quite loudly upon everyone. Pretty wild to be personally offended by the tiny fraction of a percent that is the trans population (of which an even tinier amount is vocal as you say they are).

                But you acknowledge that it is overbearing and undesirable for them to force their beliefs, and if someone called you "bigot" for complaining about this you would probably object, right?

              > At least most Christians and Muslims accept that others don't believe in their religion and, for the most part, don't force them to act as if they do. Just like most trans people accept that others don’t understand their way of life, and, for the most part, don’t force them to act as if they do. Yet you can’t acknowledge that and pretend all trans people are some kind of opaque mob.

                  That’s just moving the goalposts. Are you trying to say that in your opinion, trans people should be okay with that?
        • LexiMax 1y ago
          That's not why you are obsessed with trans people. You are terrified that the next woman you ogle covetously or catcall won't have the parts you expect. You don't care about protecting women. The only thing you care about is protecting your fragile sense of masculinity.
          • yappen 1y ago
            That is a super odd comment and I have no idea why you believe this. Projecting, perhaps?
            • LexiMax 1y ago
              > I have no idea why you believe this. Because I have thought about why people choose to hyper-focus on trans-folk, and it's one of the few explanations that makes sense, at least for men. Why would someone say that they're "protecting" women, but advocate against abortion rights, divorce, sufferage, or higher limits on the age of consent to marry? Why would someone say their religious views are incompatible, but have switched sects twice in the past decade because they disagreed with the direction their previous church was going in? Why would someone claim to be protecting children from indoctrination yet vote for indoctrination of their own political views? The contradictory explanations never made sense to me. The self-interested ones do.

                  Indeed, I did not itemize out every possible rationalization I have seen. The exact shape of the rationalization isn't terribly interesting or germane. It's the underlying insecurities that those forms of motivated reasoning are covering up for that is far more illustrative.

      It is quite common to freeze sperm before starting HRT or surgeries.

      So, are monks and nuns mentally ill? Any condition that causes men to be so sex-starved, they take it out on kids is maladaptative, and yet it hasn't abated for millenia.

      > Any condition which causes the individual to self-sterilize or not have progeny is maladaptive from an evolutionary perspective I mean, this is just trivially wrong on a basic factual level. Look at ants, look at bees, even some mammals like mole-rats. Not that these "biological facts" argument ever hold any water for complex social issues, but would you mind at least using actual facts?
