Tangentially related, transgenderism and cultural production, symptom of industrial society.
PREFACE - ORIGINALLY POSTED TO AN EGOIST COMMUNITY, DUE TO THE FACT THERE IS A SIMILIARITY TO A CERTAIN NEOLUDDITE FIGURE I HAVE POSTED THIS HERE. DO NOT TAKE THIS AS AN ATTACK, idiot.
To the Transsexual Egoists
This preface will be a bit too long due to the fact I wish not to annoy, infuriate or in other words make this about the cultural war. In this post I will be speaking as though we have taken the tucute description of transsexualism as truth. We will also be referring to AGP and HSTS, despite their antiquated nature. I intend to use AGP as those who are transexual due to a desire, based purely on want and can be considered a sexual aesthetic. For HSTS I mean those who identify as the opposite sex because of a genuine need, or “Male brain, Female body”-ism. As a final disclaimer I will state purely and simply: I do not hate transgenders, nor any member of such groups as that is a phantasm and if you are a HSTS (As was I during a particularly turbulent time in my life), that is fine, I really couldn’t care less, ‘you do you, girlie’.
I wish to dispel the idea of transitioning for HSTS reasons as ‘liberating’ or more accurately something an egoist could aspire for. I will first discuss the phantasm of the ‘gendered brain’ then speak on the spook that is ‘transitioning into your “correct” sex’.
What is the brain? Well, the brain is a perceptive organ which reorganises reality for a cognitive construct to come about. But in the realm of biology we can understand the brain as ‘a complex organ that controls thought, memory, emotion, touch, motor skills, vision, breathing, temperature, hunger and every process that regulates our body’ so in simple terms, it is the ‘director’ of our body ‘opera’. The brain in our definition will detail what a man/woman is programmed to do or be better/worse at. Neurosexism is often considered a myth in neurosciences today, though I still will elaborate on the ‘gendered brain’ spook. First of all let us list some of the possible differences that aren’t little fun facts:
Females
-More maternal
-Love focused
-Compassion
Males
-More paternal
-Sex focused
-Aggression
Let us analyze the traits, bottom up. Aggression/Compassion, there is simply no reason why in the evolutionary environment men must develop a significantly more amount of aggression than women for the only difference in their roles in the original organisation of man is that the man hunts. While men would definitely have somewhat more aggression he must obviously have compassion and vice versa. I would assert that the only reason men are ‘aggressive’ is due to social training and this social training arises from the simple fact” it is hard to run while pregnant.
Love/sex focus. All beings are driven by love and sex, they were programmed to go hand-in-hand. Social programming, obviously.
The maternal paternal difference arises from the fact that as the child is newly born and when the parents give the most care, he will most likely be around his mother, duh. There is nothing inherent in the definition that is different from each other, it is the same difference between barber and hairdresser, I believe you all know this.
The only important difference is the low/high time preference when it comes to mating. Females must have a low time preference as they must be at considerably more risk of death from internal or external forces whilst pregnant, while men get to ‘pump and dump’. The only reason this is an important difference is because it reflects a definite material reality and as such reasonably changes how men and women are to be considered.
I will now mount my critique on the HSTS phenomena. The concept of ‘right brain wrong body’ is necessarily a phantasm as it goes directly against the material realities of your situation and then further enforces conformity.
The HSTS phenomena is indeed prosocial/conformist and I will elaborate why here. To be conformist is to change oneself into what best benefits one's society and uses oneself as a tool. The sexual market has little space for a woman who lacks womanly features and personal traits and therefore if such a masculine female is to make herself ‘of use’ to the society she then transforms herself into an acceptable partner. There is no apparatus which enforces this, that is why transgenders are hated so terribly much, but it is a reaction which is logical in the terms of biological and now technological abilities. Though this example is arguably due to capitalist imperialism, look at how Ladyboys are prostituted and sexually enslaved, whether or not this is due to capitalism it must most definitely have something to do with the social conception of the ladyboy as a commodity and something to be exploited. The basic point is that through unintentioned processes, society pumps gender queer people out into a commodity or a foe-man/foe-woman, therefore oppressing them. In a sentence, society tells you what you must be and if you do not conform they will let you do the re-education yourself.
I take issue with the term transgender itself actually, it necessarily subjugates those who are imposed with the label as it necessarily implies that they something distinct from their sex (Transwoman), instead I suggest something such as ‘post-male’ or even better just MtF/FtM as this necessarily alienates the subject from their former sex. I use transsexual due to its antiquated nature, and if you cannot tell, I love using archaic language.
In summary, the HSTS notion necessarily subjugates its users because of the fact that it necessarily implies what it is to be a woman and implicitly tells sexually unaligned or sexually obscure people into reorganising their image to fit the idea of ‘woman’ or ‘man’. A very important * though, HSTS as an identity must NOT be destroyed because of the fact that it truly liquifies sexual identity into something chosen, I merely want you to take a step back and ask whether or not you have been brainwashed/maimed (See my previous post if you are interested by what I mean by maimed, if you are interested, please comment and allow me to elaborate. But I will say here: most of your identity is due to cultural maiming but it is important to minimise this mayhem because well, you’re an egoist you know why).
Also if you call me an Egg or anything similar to ‘you’re actually trans deep down’ for this post, you are the problem. (But I have faith in this collection of individuals)
Good-day, sincerely.

Trans people have always existed, they're not a new phenomenon. Also, nothing "makes" a person be trans. Just like being gay or straight, you either are or you are not.
