    i think he probably did this to highlight the absurd acceptance of trans-gender people (not my view, but what I think he may be thinking)

    Sounds like you're talking like a 10-year-old, so no.


    What?
    So if I had an asked it in a more mature way, according to you, you would have said yes. Come off it Mr Bananahammock, how i came across is irrevelant, your answer is no.

    I'm a rich man trapped in a poor man's body. I need your support in getting out. I'm setting up a charity where I will accept donations.

    My answer is that it would depend on the personality, being bisexual. But as long as someone uses the word "willy" it;s best to double-check the age before answering :)

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    What if you met a girl who does not have a willy anymore. How would you feel about that? Would you still want to have sexy time or not?
    Most certainly not. I'd make no apology for feeling that either. If others would have no problem the good luck to them, but my choice says no way Hose.

    How long will he identify as a 6 year old and does he age with this condition or stay 6 until he dies?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,251 ✭✭✭✭_Kaiser_


    SO BRAVE!!!! Give the little dote the cover of Time magazine!! Don't see the problem. If you can self determine your gender, why not anything else?

    Not sure if serious... but if so I'll let Captain Picard explain...

    He stays the same age, it's actually known as Bart Simpson Syndrome and it's very debilitating.

    Wasn't robin Williams in a movie about this stuff?

    Rachel Dolezal was relatively well adjusted in hindsight.

    Only place I can find any info on that is Urban Dictionary.

    No, that was a kid who aged at four times the normal speed ("Jack") - his mental age was normal, but he looked a lot older.

    Jumanji? It's just as legit.

    Any lads here ever try to identify as a hot lesbian that every woman wanted.

    Worth a try in this day and age.

    This is madness.

    The thing about trans is if you accept that someone can subjectively decide they're a different a sex (which I'm not saying it isn't a thing) but if you say that definitely isn't a mental illness, then you have no logical basis to say this guy isn't a 6 year old girl. The option just isn't there.

    Actually that is quite interesting.
    If this was extended, his needs as a young girl would also have to be met. And one of those needs presumably might be playing with/ kissing young boys her age. So we then have the deeply fcuked up vista of middle aged men playing with young boys and girls and nobody batting an eyelid. Or at least that's what a SJW utopia would be if adhered to logically presumably.

    Maybe a left-leaning poster who supports every bit of this stuff would weigh in and offer their opinion on such a weird scenario and describe how it can be parsed.

    This "psychology triumphing over biology" stuff. I've always been circumspect about it tbh.

    Ah would you look at him there with his little pigtails bless him.





    ****ing weirdo.

    Here's a question... How does he make money and earn a living now being a "little girl" - sponge off people?

    Supported by these new "parents".

    Hahaha I love this. Im 17 pls

    At 17, you have a huge advantage, where people are as open as ever in regard to gender and sexuality. As someone else pointed out when we were in our 20s you were gay, bi, trans or straight. But tbh, I did not know anyone who was openly trans, tbh, dont know anyone now either. Even in recent years, I had to look up the meaning of Pan Sexual, after someone had put it on their Tinder Profile.

    Is like alot of things in life, the differnent generations are exposed to different things. People a couple of generations ahead of me would really reject such notions, my generation, whilst we might except it, we may struggle with it, my point on hoping a potential date did not once have a willy. Your generation, and those behind you, it will be the norm.

    Actually... You may just have a point there MM. One of the biggest indicators of the fall of any civilisation throughout history is when the people begin to question the validity of the core principles of their civilisation. Basically when they get into moral/cultural equivalency debates.

    The trajectory of great(and yeah, you can call them "great". #triggered) civilisations always goes along the lines of; We're the best, the only way - We're pretty damned cool, eh? - Hmmm, maybe we're not, but we'll try to incorporate that into our general cool - We're at heart defective, let's debate that, maybe other worldviews are more valid? - Game Over.

    The "barbarians at the gate" believe in the first line; "We're the best, the only way" and that's why they are lined up to replace whatever status quo is in play. When a society is unsure or confused of its own worth, another will be quick to fill that void, because they are so sure and unconfused of their worth.

    "Judgement" is a bad word these days and for good reason, but when we go too far down the rabbit hole of "everything is OK, regardless and morals are nebulous"(which they are) and throw out judgement; this is right, this is wrong, as a valid position to take, then in that muddle, other, more sure voices are near guaranteed to take hold.

    I'm sorry if I'm some sort of phobe, bigot or whatever, but this is one step too far.

    Even the apologists can defend this sh1te.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,673 ✭✭✭mahamageehad


    Yes, this is weird and creepy but granting column inches to people like this is making the issue worse. There's people out there that'll do anything for attention, and this type of click bait just showers it on them.

    That said, I really do feel sad that there are kids in that house. :(

    There is a school of thought around paedophiles that basically says they get stunted in their mental/sexual development at a certain age so that's why they're attracted to people of that age. Could there be a bit of that going on here? I wouldn't consider that to be trans-age either, but a stunted development. That's not excusing paedos btw before someone twists my words to say that, just wondering if that could explain slightly what is going on here.

    Whatever about the guy, who likely has some severe mental issues, I really don;t get what the adoptive parents are getting from this? That's the bigger story here imo.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,093 ✭✭✭gitzy16v


    No,no and no.
    This is all sorts of wrong.
    Call me whatever you like.I will never accept this absolute lunacy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,263 ✭✭✭robyntmorton


    There appears to be two separate things going on here.

    The first is being transgender, and going through transition as such. Fine. Many people are transgender, and do transition, myself included.

    The second seems to be linked to infantilism, though it may not be the exact word I need. She (from reading the Daily Mail article - not something I usually recommend) appears to have struggled with rejection through adulthood and transitioning - a failed marriage, loss of contact with family, the loss of work as a mechanic, and decided that the most simple thing to do was to go back to a time when that wasn't an issue - that time being childhood. Where I am struggling to wrap my head around it, is that there is still a major presence of mind and logical thought process going on - the "sibling" doesn't want to be the youngest, but it's okay, because Stefonknee can go from being 8 to 6, and she knows she needs to work, so she plows driveways at the weekend.

    This is where I am struggling, and while I do believe it is important for people to support others, maybe the support needed is that of a professional, to work through these things, instead of just accepting that "she says she's 6, so she's 6, and we'll adopt her, but let her plow driveways at the weekend, and be a trans activist on other days"

    It isn't infantalism. I think your analysis is spot on otherwise.

    There is a more accurate term, I'm sure. I just can't think of what it is, so I went with the closest thing I could think of.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,093 ✭✭✭gitzy16v


    Its all wrong...you cannot just decide you are 6 years old and expect everyone to address you as such,its mental illness plain and simple.

    Right,whatever about changing from 52 year old John to 52 year old Jane,crack on do what pleases you but its simply delusional to turn from 52 year old John to 6 year old Jane.

    I know where you're coming from but infantalism is about a much younger age. I don't think that psychology/psychiatry has a designation for what this man is presenting with. Regressive transgenderism is about the best I can come up with.
