This is the difference between wisdom and knowledge.

Wisdom is not the same thing as knowledge. And knowledge does not necessarily make you wise.

I have studied medicine, human biology, and psychology for years (academically and in my personal time). I concluded that transgender people are deeply mentally ill and we should not indulge them in their authoritarian tantrums. Instead, society needs to push back and put the onus on them to manage their primary locus of control (they seek to resolve their deep insecurity - their secondary locus of control - by controlling everything around them instead of addressing the underlying issues. They do this because they manically crave any sort of control in their out of control lives, like people who are drowning, reaching for anything to grasp in sight).

However, many of you oldtimers had been saying something similar to this, for years (not necessarily using the academic terms but the basic meaning is the same). It didn't require years of study to figure this out for you. This is wisdom. This is something years of experience and observation have given you. You knew this. You knew these mentally ill people were not to be indulged and pushed back from the beginning. You warned us. And here we are.

Be patient with us younger folks who do not have your wisdom. There is hope: we will figure things out and arrive at the same conclusions as you have when we are open to it. I know we can be frustrating, obstinate, know-it-alls, but **some of us eventually get there. **

Would you like to know how we just knew? We grew up having to talk to people face to face. There was no internet and parents didn't like us talking on the phone for very long because it prevented them from receiving phone calls. So we'd call people up to see if they were free, and then meet them in person, or just show up at their house without a call. We quickly learned pattern recognition and figured out who was worthy of our time and who was not.

Trannies seem to be at the very least whiners and downers and just want to bring everyone else around them down. In the 80s and 90s, they would have been ignored as the losers that they are. I can't wrap my head around why anybody would follow them on social media. Who would want to read the complete garbage that comes out of their heads?

People collected followers based on their real life skills (sports, jobs or basically how charismatic they were). Now, instead of being disgusted by fat people, fat slobs have followers who watch them eat. Having a friend required time and commitment, and were valued. If you lost your friends, it was painful, so people tended to avoid doing things which would cause them to lose friends. Now it is just a number on a screen.

Most of the people now that are called friends aren't really friends at all. This fake number inflates the ego of people to make them feel more important than they actually are, and kills their drive to actually be liked by people. A hug from a long time friend who will always have my back, and me have theirs, feels way better than any number of followers on whatever program. All of this is similar to how the Amish never gave up hard work and because of that don't have the problems that the rest of us have.

Wish you had made paragraphs. But you knocked it out of the park.

I remember having discussions with kids and they couldn't fathom that they really didn't have friends. They acted out and did stupid shit for attention. They then considered friends those who came to view the trainwreck. They learned nothing except how to be antisocial and support the destruction of civilization.

My youngest thought taking on the phone and learning social skills and social graces was some terrible punishment.

People in their thirties and less are completely fucked in the head.
