1	Lesbian Couple in California Chemically Alter Their 11-year-old Boy to Prep For Sex-change Surgery Thank you for that. Gender dysphoria because of traumatic experiences or other similar reasons can be a real thing, but automatically assuming that this is the case without knowing anything about the family is just bigoted and hateful. Most parents want what is best for their child, and many parents of trans children eventually learn that helping their child to express their identity might be just that.	/r/MensRights	25/07/16 11:28 AM
7	Lesbian Couple in California Chemically Alter Their 11-year-old Boy to Prep For Sex-change Surgery There seems to be a trend here to associate trans rights with feminism. A moderate version of this is when people say that MRAs are not actively interested in LGBT themes since these should have their own completely separate movements. This thread shows the less moderate, sadder version, in which a child is "mutilated" by lesbian parents influenced by feminism and the ever-present gay agenda. It all makes threads like these a miserable experience. If anything, men's rights activists should have …	/r/MensRights	25/07/16 11:20 AM
1	Lesbian Couple in California Chemically Alter Their 11-year-old Boy to Prep For Sex-change Surgery Thanks, I'll be mindful of that. Not being trans and also not being a native English speaker make mastering nuances like this difficult.	/r/MensRights	25/07/16 09:48 AM
4	Lesbian Couple in California Chemically Alter Their 11-year-old Boy to Prep For Sex-change Surgery The specific treatment this child is going through is not "for the rest of their life", it isn't even a "decision of this scale". The child is receiving hormone blocking treatment to give them time to think about their identity and to see if the dysphoria will desist in the future. Stopping the treatment would make them go through the puberty of their natal gender at a later stage without affecting their fertility. Edit: This article gives further information about this case.	/r/MensRights	24/07/16 10:59 PM
4	Lesbian Couple in California Chemically Alter Their 11-year-old Boy to Prep For Sex-change Surgery I get it, but people in this thread are simply assuming that this specific case is due to feminist indocrination and brainwashing simply because the parents are lesbians. There's literally no evidence to this in this case or as a general trend with gender dysphoric children. Seems as ridiculous and far-fetched as seeing an assumed evil patriarchy behind everything.	/r/MensRights	24/07/16 10:41 PM
2	Lesbian Couple in California Chemically Alter Their 11-year-old Boy to Prep For Sex-change Surgery The article is shit and people here just take everything in it as a fact or make up the rest of the facts themselves. Here's a better article. The child seems to be going through hormone therapy that delays puberty, and the article mentions that this gives the child "time to think" about their gender and if they want to go through more complex gender reassignment treatment when they reach adulthood. People in this thread make it seem like the parents are forcing some surgeon to mutilate the chil…	/r/MensRights	24/07/16 10:34 PM
2	Lesbian Couple in California Chemically Alter Their 11-year-old Boy to Prep For Sex-change Surgery Much better. It seems that the parents also have an older cisgender son. I wonder why, according to most of the comments in this thread, the parents managed to "brainwash" their younger child and not the older one.	/r/MensRights	24/07/16 10:29 PM
3	Lesbian Couple in California Chemically Alter Their 11-year-old Boy to Prep For Sex-change Surgery A voice of reason here. How these kind of children should (or should not) be treated is a question of science, not ideology. Far too much bashing about "stupid dykes" and overanalyzing the posture of the child in that one picture to deduce facts about that family. Treating transgender people and other gender minorities should be based on studies like this. If we could evaluate these kind of children to be certain if their dysphoria will desist in adulthood or not and be certain that not allowing…	/r/MensRights	24/07/16 10:21 PM
1	Found this lovely poster on my college campus calling Milo Yiannopoulos 'hate speech' I mean, trans people ARE mentally ill. It's a condition called Dysmorphia and is normally treated with gender reassignment surgery. That would mean that once the body dysmorphia is alleviated sufficiently (via transition), people with dysmorphia stop being catagorized as mentally ill. While this is true, I think it's pretty clear that saying "trans people are mentally ill" is less about solving which diagnostic box someone fits into and more about saying that there's something permanently wrong …	/r/MensRights	17/02/16 10:33 PM
-3	Attacks the idea of penis transplant as "male privilege", gets called out (x-post /r/TumblrInAction) A chromosomal disorder regardless of how much it effects one & the severity of ones symptoms is still a functional abnormality, hence why chromosomal disorders are called disorders. Care to elaborate this thought? If someone with a syndrome/any genetic condition has a risk of having some distinct symptoms but doesn't actually have said symptoms (which, like your source says, can be the case with XXX), what exactly are the functional abnormalities? Functional abnormality would seem to imply that …	/r/MensRights	09/12/15 06:18 AM
2	Attacks the idea of penis transplant as "male privilege", gets called out (x-post /r/TumblrInAction) When I was talking about the binary nature of biological sex, I wasn't only referring to genotypes. You can easily form a binary with chromosomes (x has chromosome Y or does not have chromosome Y), of course, but biological sex is not just about genotypes. There are many possible variations of gender phenotype which are not easily categorized into boxes of female and male. A continuum between these two or calling these kind of people intersex makes more sense to me.	/r/MensRights	09/12/15 05:21 AM
-6	Attacks the idea of penis transplant as "male privilege", gets called out (x-post /r/TumblrInAction) Let me stop you right there: NEVER use Wikipedia as a source for anything ever. I don't know if you noticed, but I also provided you with the original source. As for the validity of Wikipedia as a source compared to other encyclopedias, it really doesn't seem to be as bad as people tend to claim it is. And as to whether the Triple X Syndrome should be called a disorder, your source indicates that Triple X women would seem to have a heightened risk of some symptoms, whereas some have none of thos…	/r/MensRights	09/12/15 05:12 AM
-5	Attacks the idea of penis transplant as "male privilege", gets called out (x-post /r/TumblrInAction) Binary means two options, but the variables that make up what we call biological sex is not composed of two options. When there are multiple categories with multiple different possible options, I wouldn't find it sensible to put them in three categories of "strictly this, strictly that and all the others".	/r/MensRights	09/12/15 04:40 AM
-2	Attacks the idea of penis transplant as "male privilege", gets called out (x-post /r/TumblrInAction) If you mean that people can't be absolutely certain because different genotypes aren't expressing themselves in an external fashion then no your not right. This is simply not true, or rather you're misinterpreting my point about phenotypes. The genotypes are expressing themselves, obviously, but that doesn't mean that a phenotype of a certain chromosomical variation is always clearly distinctive. By this I mean that you can't spot, say, a Triple X woman simply by phenotype. This is why most Trip…	/r/MensRights	09/12/15 04:33 AM
-5	Attacks the idea of penis transplant as "male privilege", gets called out (x-post /r/TumblrInAction) No they don't. Tumblr disagrees but Tumblr is not the medical community. From the Wikipedia article on intersex: "Research in the late 20th century indicates a growing medical consensus that diverse intersex bodies are normal—if relatively rare—forms of human biology." Here's the source. If you think the medical community disagrees then simply name me a single case of a third biological gender that is not a chromosomal disorder or developmental disorder. It seems that you think that the only alt…	/r/MensRights	09/12/15 04:25 AM
-1	Attacks the idea of penis transplant as "male privilege", gets called out (x-post /r/TumblrInAction) I meant, at least with the brain, there is evidence that they truly are "miswired" e.g the preoptic hypothalamus being the incorrect size I have read that about 70% or more of people who identify as transgender have been abused children. Any sources on these?	/r/MensRights	09/12/15 03:11 AM
-1	Attacks the idea of penis transplant as "male privilege", gets called out (x-post /r/TumblrInAction) Yet all these "I identify as" peeps are like "genitals don't reflect your gender!", "don't let your appearance define you!"? Am I missing something here, cause I stopped categorizing mental maladies past "bigender-fluid"... Probably because this gender stuff is never set in stone. Some people truly think that appearence (or in this context, genitals) doesn't matter. Some people think that ultimately your appearance doesn't define you, but dysmorphia is a reason big enough to do something about i…	/r/MensRights	09/12/15 03:08 AM
-3	Attacks the idea of penis transplant as "male privilege", gets called out (x-post /r/TumblrInAction) Some people truly have a neurological disorder where they are literally born with the wrong parts... but only some. Which studies are you referring to? There are, of course, multiple studies about structural differences in the brains of people of different gender or sexual orientation, but at least the former type of studies would seem to exaggerate a bit. Women and men having distinctly dimorphic brains (and people who differ from this being abnormal) seems to be a myth. Anyone who knows anythi…	/r/MensRights	09/12/15 03:00 AM
-8	Attacks the idea of penis transplant as "male privilege", gets called out (x-post /r/TumblrInAction) There is no such thing as "intersex." You can be either male, or female, everything else is a chromosomal or developmental disorder. The medical consensus seems to differ from this kind of thinking more and more. If only someone with an XX or XY genotype and corresponding male/female phenotype can be considered to have a biological gender and not a disorder, where do you draw the line? For example, why would one consider the Triple X Syndrome a disorder? Majority of XXX women never know their ch…	/r/MensRights	09/12/15 02:45 AM
21	Stop claiming we should support feminism. Just stop! But men don't need any more support, they are already privileged in every possible way! Besides, if men actually have problems, they caused it themselves because of toxic masculinity and patriarchy. And the answer to these problems is, of course, feminism. /s I usually hear some version of these arguments. Sexism against men is, apparently, just a by-product of the real sexism (misogyny).	/r/MensRights	29/06/15 02:23 PM
1	Male Privilege It means they don't get hired for those dangerous labor jobs Any proof on this claim? While I'd speculate that someone who belongs to a minority (say, a woman working in a male dominated field or vice versa) could easily face discrimination, harrassing or bullying in the workplace, I don't think there's any proof that it's really harder for them to enter that field. Especially when we're talking about dangerous jobs. I personally think that one should be careful with claims like this. If there's…	/r/MensRights	20/04/15 12:58 AM

[Australia] Her actions (not intervening) are terrible, although I don't know about Australia's laws either and I know little about the context of this case. Maybe she just didn't care. Maybe she was threatened by the babysitter not to intervene. The article just says that the mother was scared of her and that the coroner deems the mother guilty. But my comment was referring to the misleading title of this post. It seems to imply that she actively tortured and murdered her son (with the babysitter), which i…	/r/MensRights	03/07/14 10:00 PM

For a group of people who want people to listen to them, they tend to be very poor lis The problem with your reply is that you assume that the cumulative voices of women who are calling for this type of entitlement to end (which have led to this piece being viewed 155,000 times in less than a week) is not evidence, as you seem to believe that there are only certain types of evidence that meet your scientific standard.

2	100 peer-reviewed scientific studies have found male circumcision painful, traumatic, or psychologically harmful to men and boys It's important to remember that even if you can't remember the pain, it still can have consequences as highly painful experiences like circumcision alter pain response. This is how I felt about the scarring, too. In the light of this article I should probably feel lucky that there has been no negative consequences for me as yet. The only times when I've really felt bad for being cut have been when reading overly emotional arguments about how circumcision is virtually the same as castration and d…	/r/MensRights	27/06/14 12:57 AM
17	Feminists Upset After #YesAllWomen Wiki Page Edited For Accuracy “After the killings, some commentators claimed that the killer was mentally ill, while others believed his beliefs and actions had been influenced by a misogynistic culture that rewards male sexual aggression.” Sexism aside, that's just a terrible way to write an article.

1	who texts their rapist right before the "rape" "do u have condoms?" Rape, as horrible as it is, doesn't necessarily end in a situation in which the victim is completely immobilized or in a state of shock. There might be shame or guilt instead, especially if the victim is ignorant of legal details concerning rape ("they made me take some money after it, does that make me a prostitute?") or because of some cultural variables ("they say men can't get raped so nobody will believe me"). Though in the case of my latter example, the law might actually dictate that men …	/r/MensRights	12/06/14 06:35 PM

1	who texts their rapist right before the "rape" "do u have condoms?" Yes, the whole story seems to give the image that she was completely fine before and after sex, and only after being especially told that she must have been raped did she change her mind. Completely ridiculous as a whole. But then again, I wouldn't have picked out the thing about the smiley face as a post title either. "She wasn't raped because she used a smiley face!"

1	who texts their rapist right before the "rape" "do u have condoms?" There is. What about it? I wasn't talking about changing your mind about how you felt about having sex with someone, I was talking about changing your mind before you have sex and saying it out loud. In the latter case, if you're still forced to have sex against your will, it's rape.	/r/MensRights	12/06/14 02:09 PM

11	Came here mislead. I absolutely see nothing wrong with this group. The "they caused these problems themselves" mentality helps a lot. Since you, as a man, are part of the patriarchy, you therefore have at least some sort of direct control over the society, whatever that means. This is why there's nothing to do but to suck it up when it comes to problems that effect only/mostly men. Most feminists probably are willing to acknowledge that men might have some problems, but to them they are either insignificant or anecdotal and you can only blame yourself for them,…	/r/MensRights	03/05/14 05:21 PM

If that was actually a thing that people did before or during sex, it would make sex with some people very awkward.

How is it not irrelevant if we're simply thinking about the participants and the time needed to make a baby in a strictly monogamous society? During the nine months, both the man and the woman are in the process of having a baby, even if technically the man could be impregnating a lot of women during that time. In a sense, they are locked to each other. This is, of course, only post-war.

Russia forcing Crimea into a referendum, invading and trying to annex it is unacceptable, but objectively it's just a logical course of events compared to Russia invading, say, Finland.

I understand that logic, but it really hasn't strictly applied in that form in most societies ever since monogamy became the ubiquitous form of relationship between sexes. In a society in which the only socially accepted form of producing a child is in a marriage, it really is irrelevant who carries the womb. Two people, a man and a woman, have to wait the nine months to produce more offspring, even if there was a ton of unmarried or widowed women.

Many people also seem to think that the Winter War could happen again any second now. Now with Crimean crisis, it's interesting to see how people's views are going to change.

Coming from one of the few countries in Europe that still have a compulsory enlistment in military service for every man, I can tell you that no-one seems to view it as a female privilege (not that it's surprising). On the contrary, feminists sometimes turn it upside down: it's actually a misogynous institution, since it sees women as too weak and fragile to take part in national service, which is almost as ludicrous as that "women are the true victims of war" statement.

Choosing a method of suicide is not only about those feelings. For example, accessibility and ignorance play a great role in that.
