Journalist Ben Carollo Is Transitioning

He'll look like Rachel Maddow when he's finished.

It's a shame because he's actually kind of cute as a man.

And on his Instagram page, it looks like he has a girlfriend? Whaaaat?

Their most recent insta was captioned "Feeling kinda cute today," That says everything to me about why some men transition. They want to primp and be complimented on their looks as women are. I wonder if changing these norms would diminish the need to present as a woman.

By the way, "feeling kind cute" is what I'd expect a teenaged girl or Britney Spears. to post. I wouldn't expect a female adult journalist to post this. People would think she was crazy..

He's got this hipster twink vibe going on. Maybe he'll change his mind. I know of a couple of men who changed their minds, and one woman.

He posted on social media that he’s marrying his girlfriend this summer.

She looks like a woman woman.

Whaaaat R6?

I guess trans folks believe that gender is a social construct, like race...I'll always be on the fence with this...I wish Ben luck.

Mental illness is contagious.

[quote]Their most recent insta was captioned "Feeling kinda cute today,"

What is telling to me is that it is always a MALE idea of what a female should look like. It's like Charlotte Clymer wearing dangling earrings, headbands, or a flapper dress to work.

[quote] He posted on social media that he’s marrying his girlfriend this summer.

It’s because he always wanted to be a lesbian. Now he’s part of the gay community.

He's got fewer than 400 followers. He doesn't/venom that this nest of vipers will spit at him.

He was quite handsome in his Air Force uniform. Oh well, another one bites the dust etc.

The engagement announcement. Girlfriend is Claudia Zavala.

Call me whatever name you wanna hurl my way, but really, how is anyone supposed to take this seriously? This person, and many others like him, has deep, unaddressed issues that have manifested themselves as a desire to transition his gender just because it's the hot mania these days. I remember a few years ago the sob story was that everyone was homeless at some point in their past. Today there are a few crutches to rest upon...Depression, oppression, transgenerism...

yuck!

It doesn’t bother me. I don’t know this person and wish them luck. Mostly I just feel glad I’ve never felt that way.

One ugly woman. That is a man baby.

Jesus Christ!

R9 They’re cross dressers disguised as trans women.

He's a straight/bi guy with Autogynephilia. They make up the majority of trans women these days. It's an embarrassment for the community. Look it up. He probably watches a lot of 'sissy ' and femdom porn.

You beat me to it, R20. You’re 100% accurate.

The social contagion around trans issues makes me wonder how much social contagion there was around gay identity when the gay rights movement was at its height. Was there a lot of bi guys identifying as gay because that was the thing to do? It would explain people like Francois Sagat who's been fucking girls since he was 19 but insists on calling himself gay despite the evidence.

[quote]By the way, "feeling kind cute" is what I'd expect a teenaged girl or Britney Spears. to post. I wouldn't expect a female adult journalist to post this. People would think she was crazy..

They all do this. They "transition" from an adult of their actual sex into a tweener wannabe of the opposite sex. Look at Ellen Page. Does she look like an almost 40 year old man or a 19 year old manboy? All the men in dresses are wearing minis and long flowing wigs. Don't see a lot of these men transitioning into age appropriate mom jeans, short hair cuts, comfy shoes, and complaints about their osteoporosis.

Sad 😢 he's was a cute hipster/nerd type that I would totally do. (I'm into nerds)

Whatever, as long has his fake Chichis and Managing makes him/her happy

Why is everyone pretending that transvestites aren't a thing. That's what this one is, clearly.

R25 Because transvestites want to use the trans movement as a cover to live their fetish publically.

From his/her Instagram a week ago:

[quote] Me and Claudia are getting married this summer!!!!

This is a journalist?

Most socialists are mentally ill, so this is no surprise.

Grammar is just a social construct, R27.

R29, you joke but it is though.

His family must be traumatized. They know he ain't trans.

Believing womanhood is something a man can opt into is dangerous to women and to gays.

Next stop

Looks like a gay guy to me and his gal pal. This transgender stuff has made me sympathize with ex-gay people. I hope one day, ex-gats are treated with same respect, given the same laws and protections.

R20 Exactly. Just read any of Jaclyn Moore’s captions on Instagram.

“Cutie with cleavage”.

What girl writes that?

Literally decided to be a trans last year.

He’s like 50 years old and think someone his age dresses like a cheerleader.

R34 Most trans women aren't gay believe it or not. Most ID as 'lesbians' (straight) or as bisexual.

R36 (adding) not to mention the juvenile interior decorating.

He’s like 50 with stickers on his mirrors in his bedroom! With posters!

It doesn’t matter. Ex-gays deserve the same respect. It’s all about “change” is it not? Yes.

It's kind of sad when you hate your own penis and think a vagina is going to make you feel better about yourself...

"THE FUTURE IS FEMALE"

Not if these insane trannys have their way.

[quote]Most trans women aren't gay believe it or not. Most ID as 'lesbians' (straight) or as bisexual

It’s so funny you take this as fact but you don’t take them transitioning and calling themselves as “male” or “female” as fact (if you don’t). Anyone can claim to be straight.

I can accept that Ben is a woman, as long as she doesn't expect me to think she's pretty.

I kinda understand gays that think they'll score str8 dick by transitioning (they won't, but delusion is a powerful thing) but straight guys transitioning makes no sense to me.

[quote]but straight guys transitioning makes no sense to me.

You’re delusional. Like you said, delusion is a powerful thing.

R41, the eyebrows are sad.

I am going to take a stand in 2022. From now on I am going to call you a Transvestite until I see your wang chopped off. For all I know you are just "transitioning" to a bad wig and heels.

Lovely

But, R46, they're such feminine eybrows...

He’s a journalist who writes “Me and Claudia…”?

He went to college?

R50 He's a 'journalist' who works for TYT. Not exactly the cream of the crop.

Can't you meanies see that she's TILTING HER HEAD? All the top scientists and doctors will tell you that's the best indicator of womanhood!

Penis Regret Syndrome.....If you hate yourself and your penis---chopping it off isn't going to make it better.

Your cock and balls are the source of your homosexuality. Chopping them off and having a “vaginal canal” dug into you makes it all more freeing.

R14, I think the hot new thing will be Dissociative Identity Disorder, or DID.

Bummer. He was cute.

Maybe their unsightly facial moles can be transitioned away in the process.

Let me guess---after this he is going to be a "straight" female who loves dick?....These people are exhausting. A fake vagina is not to going to make you "whole"...

R58 He's marrying a woman

Your hole won’t make you whole.

[quote]He's marrying a woman

Your point?

R61 My point is that he will likely ID as a lesbian or a 'bisexual woman'. Absurd, yes, but not the same as identifying as a straight female.

[quote] Let me guess---after this he is going to be a "straight" female who loves dick?

He’s straight. He doesn’t like dick.

Just because he’s marrying a woman…that makes him…not gay. Just so I understand.

[quote] My point is that he will likely ID as a lesbian or a 'bisexual woman'.

These two things are definitely better than identifying as a gay man, no? Certainly, easier, yes?

Journalist and The Young Turks--those two things are not compatible. I could care less if he/she/it transitions to something else.

Are you slow or something, R64? He was never gay. He’s a straight guy with a long-time girlfriend. Now he decided he wants to wear a dress and play dress up. So now in his mind they are a lesbian couple. But in the girlfriend’s mind, she probably doesn’t think they’re a lesbian couple. She probably still thinks of him as his boyfriend.

[quote]Are you slow or something, [R64]? He was never gay. He’s a straight guy with a long-time girlfriend.

Yep, that makes him straight.

Sad, sad, sad. Maybe he could get into women's sports and win a few medals.

I should add 🙄.

[quote][R58] He's marrying a woman

Part and parcel for autogynephilic paraphilia.

Jaclyn Moore is who I immediately thought of when I first saw what Ben looks like.

The two could be (.....ahem) "sisters".

[quote] Yep, that makes him straight.

You don’t get it at all. This type of trans is not gay. They’re into women and also dressing up as women. Dick repulses them.

Just declare them Homecoming Queens and be done with it.

Tell the FTMs they;re the spitting image of a young Justin Bieber.

Yeah the idea that these type of men are gay men transitioning into women to fuck straight men isn’t adding up to me.

These are the type of “trans women” who harass lesbians on dating apps and try and bully them into hooking up with them cause they’re “lesbian females”.

He is going to be the next Barbra Walters....

Typical AGP. He watched so much porn he can only get off imagining himself as a woman. Most of these nutcases keep their penises.

Ben is frustrated.

Stop frustrating Ben.

R78 How do people get this crazy? Seriously. It's fucking wild.

Sad Gen Z mental case suffering from AGD (Attention Getting Disorder).

[quote]It’s because he always wanted to be a lesbian. Now he’s part of the gay community.

YOU MEAN THE QUEER COMMUNITY!

Literal VIOLENCE!

r19 that was my first thought looking up his history. back in the day, they would have been weeded out when there was still some semblance of restriction but the anti-medicalist mentality wrecked that. he likely would have been hospitalized for observation to sort it out; trans or paraphilia, or even just standard mental health issues. . . similar problems befell LGB when it was removed from psychiatric listings and decriminalized, and then a lot of people seeing a golden ticket claiming to be LGB fell through the cracks of the mental health & criminal systems.

[quote]"THE FUTURE IS FEMALE"

"THE FUTURE IS SHEMALE"

Save the date: June 4, 2022

Tasteful friends, what do we think of the registry?

If his dick is as ugly as his face, it's good he's getting it cut off.

90% of liberal men will be trans by 2030. The right is correct about the effeminacy of liberal men.

He’s not getting it cut off. How would he fuck his wife if he got it cut off?

Shouldn't Ben Carollo transition into a journalist first?

R86 It’s the collapse of the U.S. The fall of Rome.

Decreased birth rates all link to emasculated societies and the collapse of societies. Romans, Spartans, the Ottoman Empire, etc, etc.

With this ongoing anti-male society we’ll all be speaking either Chinese or Russian by 2030.

r86 and speak korean, and work as an idol.

This made me laugh.

Nothing but plastering ugly makeup on a man face and keeping man body. Yeah... so "she/her"

I honestly believe this is going to be Chasten someday. He just looks like the kind of attention whore who has an epiphany waiting to happen.

AWS = Attention Whore Syndrome.....PRS = Penis Rejection Syndrome...LMVS = "Lesbian" Missing Vagina Syndrome.....oh my.....When I wanted a change and better life I just sold my house and moved to another state. It never occurred to me that cutting off my cock was the solution.....

R89, there aren't enough eye rolls in the world to respond to your bullshit.

[quote] He’s straight. He doesn’t like dick.

That's a bummer.

I wanted to imagine him getting his "pussy" pounded by a hot guy.

[quote] Ben is frustrated.

[quote] Stop frustrating Ben.

Are you sure he's not exhausted?

He could become the trans version of Roxane Gay.

so his wife-to-be is now a lesbian? will she come out soon?

Of course, R97, he will demand that she now refer to her only as a lesbian to confirm his new identity. Since real women don't matter anymore, she must comply.

They’re relationship will be over soon.

Ben is a homophobe.

That tweet at R78 is homophobic. So the transitioning makes sense.

uh oh-----LINK---->>>Yesterday on Young Turks......WHY is he not in FULL DRAG?....He is still dressing and acting like a MAN?....why?....How can you be "transitioning" without the transition?...Did he change his mind?...Does he think missing a couple of haircuts makes him Trans?.....WTF!!...(6 min)

What sort of make-up does he use? Avon? Mary Kay?

Ben is adorable at R102, but yeah I just can't take him seriously.

"Trans" people like Ben are precisely why I don't believe it.

They act as if being a woman is like turning a light switch on and off.

Yeah, it doesn't work that way.

R13 " Me and Claudia are getting married". This is unforgivable.

When I was in my 20s and had long 90s hair I was often mistaken for a woman. Not because I looked, dressed or acted like a girl in any way (other than the shoulder length Michael Hutchence type hair) but because many people aren’t terribly observant — they see long hair and automatically think “woman.”

Correcting them after being addressed as Miss (“Actually it’s Mister”) was always amusing because of how flustered they would become. I always wanted to follow up with “You thought I was a real dog, right?” but never did. So all these youngsters who are very upset about being misgendered, and invested in being “seen” and “affirmed” by every stranger they come across make me laugh. Generally people don’t actually notice you, nor do they particularly care.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

[quote] so his wife-to-be is now a lesbian? will she come out soon?

Of course not. In her eyes, they are just husband and wife, a normal couple, but the husband has a work uniform. No different than her dressing up in her nurse uniform every morning.

I see guys like this as similar to Ed Wood.

They're not trans, btw.

Hes's a Socialist-wannabe.

His Marxist friends told him he's an ineffectual Marxist so he decided to be effeminate in some crazy form of compensation.

Jesus... book an appointment with a esthetician. Yuck.

How do these lunatics have the gall to walk around looking downright ugly. Why do they want to transition to be UGLY women?

This confused young Marxist-Leninist failed to get into the Minnesota State Legislature last year.

I wonder if he wants to be another AOC.

My friend's "new" daughter(~) is dating a cis-woman.

I think she is relieved.

LOL

Does he have the "Sure Jan" perma-lifted Eyebrow of Judgement on all of his pictures?

R11 He'll have 20k in a week. He'a going to be mentioned everywhere now - it worked on DL. It's a publicity stunt. Now he can pretend to be oppressed ans it only cost him a wig.

R22 unlikely. Sexual desire is something visceral and primal. Your cock tells you what you like and it is immune to lectures. All gay people I know have been pretty constant in their attraction to the same sex. However, I know people first hand who went from "definitely on the autism spectrum" (self diagnosed) to "trans" and try to crowd fund their surgeries. I always wonder if they secretly feel relieved if those gofundmes fall short: it means they get to play the victim card while not having to mutilate their bodies, all while being able to pretend they're a gay man AND trans. Maximum oppression fetish achieved.

He makes one ugly woman.

Looks OK as a man, though.

He’s not going to be a very pretty/convincing woman sad to say. Is this an attention thing, perhaps? I can’t help but see it as a manifestation of western affluence. If people had enough actual problems they wouldnt have time for this shit. A body is just a body ffs, why don’t they find something meaningful to do with their lives?

[quote] a manifestation of western affluence

I'm sure the rest of the world is laughing at us and our current transvestite fad.

It used to be rude to assume that a gay man or lesbian wanted to be the opposite sex. We used to fight against this as "ignorance".

He's already said he's "gay" but not the way you expect, i.e. a lesbian.

Is there something in the water in the US?

Could it be the GMO foods are modifying gender?

Everyone is so fuckedup.

R55 it’s the way you’re right😕

Oh poor angel,how dare people to assume he's a dirty gay guy!

[quote] I wonder if he wants to be another AOC.

More like a trans Bernie Sanders.

[quote] You don’t get it at all. This type of trans is not gay. They’re into women and also dressing up as women. Dick repulses them.

In the olden days, this was your garden-variety transvestite. The exact definition. It was a paraphilia and everyone agreed it should be private like all the other paraphilia.

He has a distinctive laugh.

Is he going to get the bottom surgery or just present as a woman? That's what auto-gynephilia is, is it not? I know of a transman who hasn't gotten the bottom surgery because his lesbian girlfriend doesn't want him/her/they to.

I am so confused. He's an ally to the disenfranchised; if you watch his streaming show he is progressive. I can respect that. I just don't know why he feels he has to present as a woman. I'll go to my grave trying to understand.

[quote] I just don't know why he feels he has to present as a woman.

He has drunk the Kool-Aid

Well,, if this is how you slay the beast of toxic masuliity, so be it. And please don't cackle because toxic masculinity has taken gay lives for centuries. It's about all the Republican Party stands for these days and it's killing the country. .

Toxic Femininity is better than Toxic Masculinity!

[quote] Is he going to get the bottom surgery or just present as a woman?

He’s not going to chop his dick off if he’s marrying a woman. The woman wouldn’t want her husband to not have a dick. She’s just a straight girl and straight girls love dick.

This Minnesotan wants it both ways .

This Minnesotan is a major pussy hound.

This Minnesotan will be in the Ladies Locker Rooms.

Where the hell were all these trannies 10, 15 years ago? Now they're coming out of the woodwork. It's all a pathological fixation and in the last few years a slew of nitwits with little going for them have glommed onto in a valiant attempt to make their sad lives more interesting.

I hope someone keeps records on these people so we can see in the next 10-15 years just how many of them went back to being their real sex.

I am Beautiful!

I bring all the girls to my yard.

Who cares, he's marrying a woman, this affect us at all.

If there are any medical professionals or others who would know on the thread, here’s my honest question. If a MtF transitions, but doesn’t get bottom surgery (like Ms Jenner) how well does the dick still work after all that estrogen? They take enough to grow breasts, lose muscle mass, body hair, etc — and their testicles must shrink from the other hormone blockers — assuming they still want to please a female partner, can they actually sustain an erection?

Then you have to ask, what kind of woman would let a chick with a dick mount her in lust?

Or what kind of man would want to mount a dude with a coochiepop between his legs?

Well 137, upthread it is stated s/he’s still marrying the current girlfriend - I assume the wife will still want some dick on the regular.

Four years in the air national guard.

What have you done with your life OP?

I have a second cousin who transitioned MTF back in the 90s - when that really took some balls, so to speak. He was already in his late 40s, and was a short, slight, nerdy engineer. Unlike the seeming current norm he didn’t try to pass as a glamzon or some kind of aged cheerleader - he became a somewhat nondescript middle aged Librarian type with a grey Dorothy Hamil wedge cut - which now seems exceedingly well-adjusted.

A lot of traction for a nobody. I wonder why.

He isn't a nobody.

He is the new Alexandra Ortiz-Cortez!

[quote]He’s not going to be a very pretty/convincing woman

They rarely ever do, R118.

[quote]Is he going to get the bottom surgery

They rarely ever do, R127. To answer your question about autogynephilia:

[quote]The second group are motivated to transition as a result of what Blanchard termed ‘autogynephilia’: a sexual orientation defined by sexual arousal at the thought or image of oneself as a woman. Autogynephiles are typically sexually attracted to women, although they may also identify as asexual or bisexual. They are more likely to transition later in life and to have been conventionally masculine in presentation up until that point.

[...]

[quote]There’s a critical difference between autogynephilia and most other sexual orientations: Most other orientations aren’t erotically disrupted simply by being labeled. When you call a typical gay man homosexual, you’re not disturbing his sexual hopes and desires. By contrast, autogynephilia is perhaps best understood as a love that would really rather we didn’t speak its name. The ultimate eroticism of autogynephilia lies in the idea of really becoming or being a woman, not in being a natal male who desires to be a woman.

[...]

[quote]At present, many heterosexual MTFs—in their own view, lesbian trans women—police online forums ceaselessly for any mention of autogynephilia. If a newcomer posts that he thinks that autogynephilia describes his own experience, they will quickly let him know that this is wrongthink and that autogynephilia does not exist. It is therefore hard to get any sense of how many autogynephilic gender dysphorics privately think that autogynephilia describes their own experience, because stating that online will produce scorn and other negative reactions.

You don't even have to say the word autogynephilia or AGP, they fly off the handle when you describe it. The AGPs are the ones who have taken over gay rights groups and women's groups and the ones who are demanding self ID become the law of the land. Countries around the world are passing legislation based on a paraphilia.

R28 You've studied mental illness in socialists?

If the far left males all want to trans themselves into whatever this person is becoming, let them go for it. Liberal males will not. Gay or straight, we'll stay male, thanks.

r152 Well I don't know about liberal males but this is what liberals are pushing for, "gender identity (you can just claim whatever shit you are and should get validated / otherwise "rightwing bigots, transphobia, etc.")" which they and Biden have effectively made it a legit thing. What's the difference between this guy and Richard Levine who liberals validate as "she/her woman" "Rachel" Levine? Nothing.

Biden and most liberals aren't"pushing" anything by being inclusive. Biden and most liberals aren't forcing people to trans themselves. That would be "pushing" them.

I personally don't care for much of the far left group (a.k.a. socialist) who have barnacled to the party and try to pretend they speak for all of us. They don't. They're just loud, the media gives them soundbites, and the right loves pretending that Biden and all liberals want everyone to be trans.

Legitimisation of "Gender Identity" is the work of Biden and normal Democrat party who proudly welcomed this. That alone is endorsing, enabling all the lunacy. Did they vehemently oppose something so outrageously anti-science and anti-gay? It's not something that only the far left AOC or Bernie cult pushed for.

Wearing a cowl neck sweater in 2022...

is stunning and brave

I need to be myself and I can only do that by taking hormones, amputating body parts, having facial surgery, changing my vocal register and wearing clothing associated with the opposite of my birth gender. That's because I know how a woman (or man) feels even though I've never been one and am engaging in appalling stereotyping.

Where is everybody going?

R178 = But he is NOT doing any of that. He was on YoungTurks 4 days ago and not an ounce of makeup or anything. Nothing. How can you "transition" without the transitioning?

This type of unchecked nuttery by the left is why the country will shift far right by decade's end, just like Germany did after the 'forward thinking' but disastrous Weimar Republic of the 1920s (e.g.. socio-political strife, hyperinflation, moral decay), which, as we all know, made way for Hitler and the Nazis. A few years ago, I would have accused someone who posted what I just wrote of being an alarmist, but now it doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility.

Imagine R184's surprise when (if?) he realises Carollo isn't actually transitioning.

R129: "Well,, if this is how you slay the beast of toxic masculinity, so be it..."

Colonizing womanhood and obscuring the legalities of same-sex relationships is "slaying the beast of toxic masculinity"?

R45 I'm not sweetie, delusional is the ridiculous trannies that think they're women/men just because they're in drag and taking medications.

A lot of autogynephilia (AGP) is heavily centred on the straight man's obsession with the idea of having sex "as a lesbian." This is a common het male fantasy, as any lesbian will tell you. Straight men say this shit to lesbians all the time. But with AGPs it is an escalating fetish.

^^So Ben just wants to 'present' as a female...

Has this story been retracted yet?

I'm convinced that if you spend too much time on twitter, you'll become trans or non binary

R192 Twitter forces us to keep up with all the trending fads.

And pretending to be a woman is the biggest fad with Twitterers at the moment.

It seems unless they are Asian. Most trans are ugly as a mud fence. This guy doesn't disappoint.

R197 Actually, this is probably one of the most vibrant gay forums out there. The lack of censorship and "forced teaming" is an asset. Most gay forums are moderated and censored to death to keep everyone 'on script'.

Anti-trans trolls = useful idiots for the GOP.

R200 People aren't going to lie and say they support this non-sense just to deny the GOP a win. Sorry about it. The left needs to sort itself out on these issues and stop being so afraid to question things framed as 'progressive' by the powers that be.

[quote]Most gay forums are moderated and censored to death to keep everyone 'on script'.

Oh joy. I love rubbing elbows with a bunch of fucking idiots who comment on a guy transitioning who isn't transitioning. It's just the level of intelligence I love stewing in.

Via la "freedom".

[quote]The left needs to sort itself out on these issues and stop being so afraid to question things framed as 'progressive' by the powers that be.

No. The left should continue eschewing fucking idiots. We can leave the knuckle-draggers behind. They're never going to evolve.

R202 Keep talking that way buddy. The left should be crushing the GOP based on demographic trends and the dysfunction of the GOP. Instead, the left is losing its grip on the electoral college and bleeding support amongst many POC. Dems are gonna get blown out of the water in 2022 and lose congress.

You're stupid!

R203, well, "buddy" ...

[quote]The left should be crushing the GOP based on demographic trends and the dysfunction of the GOP. Instead, the left is losing its grip on the electoral college

The electoral college does not even reflect the demographics to begin with, stupid.

Also, in case you haven't noticed, more than a 1/3rd of American voters are anti-vaxxers.

You make battling stupidity sound so easy. Perhaps you should run for office.

R204 California became a Democratic state in large part because of demographics. As did places like Nevada etc. This helped Dems build their electoral college coalition. The GOP has managed to punch a hole through it because of the unforced errors of the Dems and their SJW wing. We can see that with how competitive stays like Michigan, a former Dem stronghold, have become. The rustbelt and former swing states like Ohio and Florida are increasingly not competitive for dems. They've alienated too many social moderate and white voters in those states.

1/3 of American voters are anti-vaxxers in part because the same people that are telling them to get vaccinated are also telling them that women have penises and men have vaginas and that fetishistic transvestites should be put on a pedestal as 'real women'.

You're surprised this type of non-sense is leading to polarization and a lack of trust in institutions?

Liberal political and social elites: The sky is green and the grass is blue! We've always been at war with East Asia! Men can give birth!

Public: huh? 0_o

Liberals: I wonder why nobody trusts institutions anymore?!?!

R205 people said the same bullshit about the advancement of gay rights. That it was going to turn voters away etc. Blaming trans people for the millions of Americans that aren’t getting vaccinated just shows how totally deluded about and obsessed with trans people you are.

R205 Gay rights did hurt Dems politically. That's why Obama ran against gay marriage in 2008. But the gay rights agenda was at least based on reality and wasn't something that was very disruptive to other people's everyday lives. In fact, the gay rights movement was designed to assimilate gays into straight society. The current trans movement is about 'deconstructing' it and imposing a fantasy. Very big difference.

Cinesnatch is triggered. Yet again. And I live for her salty stupid tears.

Thanks R207. Succinct and correct.

[quote]You're surprised this type of non-sense is leading to polarization and a lack of trust in institutions?

No, what surprises me that someone writes this and wants to be taken seriously:

[quote]1/3 of American voters are anti-vaxxers in part because the same people that are telling them to get vaccinated are also telling them that women have penises and men have vaginas and that fetishistic transvestites should be put on a pedestal as 'real women'.

Sorry. But, you're a fucking idiot. Bye.

R210 What persuasive rebuttals! I'm convinced! lmao

Even trans activists can't defend their arguments. Now run along!

This delusional Marxist thinks China is a Democracy.

R202: "Oh joy. I love rubbing elbows with a bunch of fucking idiots who comment on a guy transitioning who isn't transitioning."

Ben Carollo has clearly stated that he already HAS transitioned. If you don't believe it, take it up with him. Don't blame us for taking his word for it.

R212 He should go move to China.

Well then, nothing to keep you here then R197, is there?

China is banning "sissy men", R212.

Now what are trans femmes?

[quote]Ben Carollo has clearly stated that he already HAS transitioned. If you don't believe it, take it up with him. Don't blame us for taking his word for it.

So fucking what. Why are DLers obsessed with trans people.

The obsession is deranged.

But he didn’t have the surgery?

R218 This thread is basically about how he’s not trans, he’s a cross dresser with a fetish.

R218 Because they're forcing themselves into spaces they don't belong, undermining the rights of others, allowing perverted crossdressers the cover they need to 'get off' in public, touched off a wave of "trans-trender" nonsense amongst emotionally disturbed teens, are demanding people love their 'lady dicks' and 'boy vaginas' and are forcing kids in schools to learn a pack of lies. Do I need to go on?

R218, you have repeatedly referred to this person as a "guy who is transitioning who isn't actually transitioning", yet you have the gall to accuse US of being transphobes for saying the same damn thing. Scroll on by the thread if you don't like it, but spare us your self-righteousness and hypocrisy.

R221, how are they impacting your life?

You do realise that people in actual financial, political, and corporate power are the ones who threaten our lives the most, right? They're the ones who make the decisions which impact our planet. Not trans people. How dumb are you?

You don't need to go on. You need to fucking educate yourself. JFC.

R223 I'm constantly harassed on dating apps by 'guys' with vaginas. I'm told off and attacked when I say I'm not interested. I'm forced to use the wrong pronouns for people who don't even try to present as the sex they claim they want to be. I have to sit back and watch untransitioned 'trans men' insist on their right to be allowed into gay bathhouses while wearing their sports bra, so they can 'cruise' for gay sex and act like a voyeur.

BTW, trans people are part of political and corporate power. Who do you think props them, promotes and finances their organizations, and censors their opposition? The working class?

You're arguing with someone who fantasizes about fucking MTFs and getting fucked like a MTF (whatever that means).

The trans troll is so tiresome, get over it. Dl isn't twitter. Men don't have pussy and women don't have dicks loon.

R224, The enemy are the corporate elite, not trans people. That you can't see that isn't something I can teach you.

I'll leave you to the imaginary war inside of your head.

R227 You haven't directly addressed any of the issues I've brought to your attention because you haven't thought them through and don't have good answers. You've reflexively adopted the trans rights agenda to be a 'good progressive'. And now you're minimizing the issue to quell your own feelings of uncertainty when people point out problems.

Think about that

[quote] So fucking what. Why are DLers obsessed with trans people.

You made three separate posts about how Ben isn’t really transitioning and how we’re delusional for thinking he is. After you’re called out on it, you now say so fucking what if he’s transitioning?

WTF is wrong with you?!? Do you have multiple personality disorder?

The trans agenda wants gay men to have heterosexual sex, basically they're as bad as the rightwinger fucktards.

R228, Address what issues, Anonymous? Which of the bullshit posts are yours. I can't tell one Anonymous from another. Am I mindreader?

If someone wants to chop off their dick and go on Grindr, so what.

If someone wants to take hormones to become a man and go on Grindr, so what.

if someone feels more comfortable using a female toilet, so what.

You act like you walk around life and trans people are stalking you and trying you to act a certain way. I don't have this problem. I live in a pretty international, progressive city as well.

There are bigger problems on this planet. You freaks who are obsessed with "calling attention to" or "stopping" the trans movement are nuts. You can feel free to call me as the crazy one. You can throw things I've said in the past in my face. I don't really care. But, you really need to ask yourselves why you keep perpetuating this anti-trans baloney on daily basis here. I've mostly went silent, but sometimes I can help myself to chime in and call out all of this for what it is: senseless stupidity.

Live your life. You don't like someone on Grindr, block them or find a different app. JFC. Fucking sensitive pussies. Get over yourselves.

R231 What's stupid is you saying 'so what' to every issue because you don't want to do the work of actually thinking critically.

BTW, I follow a multitude of political issues and I'm moderate to progressive on most of them. But the trans movement has gone off the rails and I'm going to talk about it. Get over it.

Critical thinking, R232?

On the DL?

It's more like constant, daily complaining.

Don't get it twisted.

People can do whatever the fuck they want to do with their bodies, because guess what? It doesn't affect me. Because, guess what? I do what I want with my body and with whom I want. Just as you do.

You know what I've also noticed? There are plenty of sexually active gay men in various age groups. Critical thinking isn't required to observe that very fact.

If you are duped by a chick with a dick, guess what? You have the opportunity to move the fuck on.

Try keeping your "critical thinking" to one thread and not repeat yourself, Anonymous.

R233 Honestly, I wish your posts contained more substance because I would like to have a real conversation about this, but I don't you're capable of having a conversation at that level. I accept your limitations. Have a good night.

The feeling is mutual in regards to substance, R234.

I don't think you're capable of having a coherent and linear convo, though.

Look are your handle for one, genius.

R235 Night!

LOL. Poor Cinesnatch can't seem to hold 2 thoughts at the same time.

Corporate world bad.

Cannot also pay attention to any other bad.

Please stop. You're hurting my head.

Corporate world and corporations very very bad.

Unless they 'encourage' their employees to add preferred pronouns to their email signatures.

Then they're Showing Solidarity to the Backbone of the LGBTQIA+ community, and are On The Right Side of History™.

[quote] On The Right Side of History™.

I always laugh when a young person whose half my age declares himself to be "On The Right Side of History".

It's such an arrogant claim.

He was on TYT last night with full makeup. And one of those large oversized frau sweaters.

We need a draft.

I would smash.

Mental illness

Psychological pathologies, including paraphilias and personality disorders, should be part of basic high school curriculum.

Is this Journalist offering themself as a War Correspondent in Kiev in Ukraine?

Who is this woman in fancy costume?

Does this look like the face of a depraved paraphilia sufferer??

So her new name is "Been Carollo"?

And he's got that annoying giggle every time Cenk or John Iadarola say something funny. Half Goldie Hawn, half Ernest Borgnine.

Yet another trans thread where 99% of the comments come straight out of the right wing playbook. Stupid homosexuals. So fucking stupid.

Gays should support trans AND ex-gays, or neither.

[quote] Yet another

They crave attention and they get it.

Modesty is a stranger to them.

Go dilate r250!

Is they an organ donor?

Modesty, tact, discretion, privacy are strangers to them.

R250, if you don't see the dangers of denying biological sex—especially in the context of same-sex attraction and the rights and protections afforded to same-sex attracted people—then you have little room to call anyone else stupid.

I think she's fabulous.

Dude's a straight male crossdresser, a sexual fetish. He can only get sexually aroused while wearing female panties and such. Due to changing social norms, cross dressers now feel emboldened to engage in their fetish in public.

^ All true though, unfortunately, they refuse to acknowledge it as a fetish and claim that it's an "identity".

He was so cute at R246.

He's perfect for the Young Turks. I didn't think that crazy mess of grifters could get any funnier but he adds a new dimension.

Everything about them is a fraud. Why not him, too?

Why do you say that about them r260? What proof do you have that they’re grifting?

Please. Their entire existence is one huge grift.

It doesn't affect my life in any way...

Yes, but in what way r262? Offer some proof of grift.

How come this thread is still here but that other thread about that other transvestite named 'Jacklyn' has disappeared?

Heterosexuality is all fucked up.

I warned you all back in 1974 r266!

R265, it's 2022 and you're still wondering why a Datalounge thread about the Stunning and Brave, the Most Oppressed but also the Most Desired segment of LGBTQ+ (e.g. "straight men are lining up to have sex with us!!!!"), got nuked?

"straight" guys do like trans. look on grindr.

doesn't count.

I don't think the straights will like the jock pussy type.

[256], You're a right wing troll. Can we ship you off to Putinland?

SAD. Another beautiful male murdered.
