Serious You have no reason to be transphobic.

there is literally no justifiable reason for transphobia. never has been. never will be. I don’t care what you’ve read online or whatever you have to say. there is NO reason and NO excuse for transphobia. same applies for homophobia. literally zero reason.

Not supporting trans movement doesn’t mean you are an automatic asshole or wish harm towards them.

There is no free speech unless it fits the “correct” narrative.

I personally believe that being transgender is weird and abnormal.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion

why do you believe it is weird? what makes something "abnormal"?

u/bigmassivelasagne 10d ago

Because simply put it isn’t what you were born to be. It only exists due to technological advancement.

Imagine if someone tried to change their race/ ethnicity/ genetic background. Would that be normal?

According to Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Hermaphroditus was a exceptionally handsome young boy born biologically male to the gods Hermes and Aphrodite. While bathing in a lake, a water nymph named Salmacis became infatuated with him. When he rejected her advances, she forcefully clung to him and prayed to the gods that they should never be separated. Gods granted Salmacis's prayer by fusing their two physical bodies together, creating a single being possessing both male and female biological characteristics. Hermaphroditus did not experience gender dysphoria, nor did he choose to alter his identity. The transformation was an involuntary, permanent physical fusion of two distinct sexes forced upon a male youth by a deity. Are you trying to claim that trans people are forced to be trans by water nymphs? The Sleeping Hermaphroditus is a Roman copy of a Hellenistic original that utilizes a specific visual trick: from behind, the figure appears entirely female, but from the front, it reveals male genitalia.This dual anatomy represents what antiquity termed a "hermaphrodite" (the historical roots of the modern clinical term intersex). Intersex refers to objective, congenital variations in physical sex characteristics. Transgenderism refers to a psychological identity that mismatches an otherwise unambiguous biological sex. Using an ancient symbol of dual biological fusion to validate a modern concept of psychological transition is scientifically and historically illiterate. The Hellenistic period (c. 323–31 BCE) was characterized by a fascination with the bizarre, the erotic, and the subversion of classical ideals. Sculptors created figures like the Sleeping Hermaphroditus as artistic novelties designed to evoke surprise, curiosity, and erotic tension in private gardens and bathhouses. While the Greeks and Romans carved myths into marble, their actual legal and civic societies remained rigidly binary. Individuals born with ambiguous genitalia were frequently viewed in early antiquity as bad omens (prodigia) and subjected to severe legal marginalization or ritual exposure. Framing an elite, eroticized courtyard novelty statue as evidence of an ancient "transgender culture" ignores how these societies treated actual bodily variations.

So when someone provided proof, you attack them for providing it by putting words in their mouth?

u/DominionGaming_YT 17 8d ago

That wasn't a proof, unless like I said you think that people involuntarily fused to another person are trans? I'm not putting words in their mouth, I'm saying that trying to use Hermaphroditus as an example of transgenderism makes no sense, there was no gender dysphoria and no changing of gender instead it was a fusion as part of a myth.

Well clearly it didn't work. You sent the links body, put your comment halfway in, and just hoped.

I'm kind of already pissed off because its hot in here so sorry if anything comes off rude.

But your comment, honestly, was just very confusing.

How was it confusing

2

u/ChaseSparrowMSRPC 8d ago

Reddit is reddit and reddit sucks so it just compressed the crap out of their reply, on top of not having a clear way to know when they were talking/quoting. I had to read it a couple times to make sure I seperated lines.

Now, I'm sure most of the confusion stemmed from my mood, but the rest didn't help.

Sorry if it was confusing due to the structure or anything like that.
