Subliminals in Porn

[mat422]

Most people aren't 100 percent straight or gay. I'd argue our society has become more accepting and people don't feel the need to hide it anymore. That goes for transsexuals too. There's only been a perceived surge in it because people are finally waking up to stupid stereotypes that have to be conformed to. Some of the most manliest men end up transitioning to a woman after realizing their never ending quest for masculinity was a cover up for who they really felt inside. You try that back in the day and you'd probably get beat or killed for being a "sissy".

Also a lot of people think conspiracy theorists are dumb. It's actually the opposite. Most of them are highly intelligent, but that doesn't mean they are right. The danger is they are really good at putting together a well thought out intelligent argument and you can be roped into it easily. All it does is cause paranoia with no resolution. You stay in a state like that for too long and you'll be bordering on mentally unhealthy.

If you want to see some real messed up stuff with actual proof. Look up MK Ultra. I'm not denying that there are some seriously messed up things going on in this country, but I highly highly doubt there is one group orchestrating everything.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg.

You make good points mat422 but the consumers (women) choose masculinity, if not every time, they admire it/worship it. So are these men really sissy or just realising that they cant live up to the ideal and quitting to get some release.

Is trans common in the animal world? I know it is in indigenous cultures or at least conquered indigenous cultures.

Before anybody transitions they have to go through a gender therapist who essentially rules out these things. There are some individuals who choose not to do that however and just start self prescribing hormones. It's possible that in those individuals they are seeking the transition to female as a sort of escape, but honestly those are few and far in between.

There is a crisis of masculinity in our society though, I won't deny that. It's not that men aren't masculine enough. It's that masculinity has become seen as a shameful or unwanted thing. The result is young boys learn early on there is something wrong with them for acting in their very nature. Part of this is the school system, which caters very strongly to girls.

Anyway, I don't believe trans is common in the animal world. But it would be very hard to verify given animals can't talk. Also animals aren't as self aware of themselves as humans. But fish can switch between male and female, so it's like their sex isn't an important piece of identity for them like it is in humans.
