      They’re convinced that it’s turning people trans lmao

      CW: Transphobia

      They notice that many transwomen express interest in it at some point during their journeys and rather than come to the obvious conclusion of “they liked it because it gave them a relatively safe outlet to explore feelings they were still coming to terms with” they instead decided “the sissy hypno made them trans”

        You’d think they’d love it, because it offers them a culturally plausible excuse to explore their secret tastes. “It wasn’t my fault, the hypnotist went off script, I was just there for a weight-loss programme!”

        Of course, everyone knows that the dominance/kink community is extremely focused on consent and boundaries, so that excuse is pretty damn flimsy.

        Also, if it worked that well, you’d think there would be a whole business model for the inverse model: masculinizing hypnosis for people who aren’t confident in their identity, or as a product for conversion-therapy grift.

          That’s watching male motivational videos on YouTube actually. Pretty much exactly what you described.

      They freak out about everything turning the children trans.

      It’s cute to see someone putting so much latent insecurity in their own gender identity out there for the whole world to see.

      Sometimes I go into those hives of scum and villainy and do deep trolling to sow chaos and discord (if I do it right). I’ll say something like:

      "I’m just glad I grew up in a time when men were men and we didn’t have schools convincing all the kids to turn trans like they do nowadays because it’s scary to think how I might have turned out if I grew up in the 2010s.

      We need society to instruct our children on how to be a men. If we don’t then we shouldn’t be surprised when they end up feeling confused about their gender."

      And if a statement like that gets any traction then I usually have those dorks erupting into debate about whether gender is stored in the balls or whether your primary school teacher gives you your gender by reading books to you.

      It’s fun watching a group of reactionaries arguing bitterly over which side of their inherently-contradictory political position is the correct one. May they spend their time feuding with one another over their terrible takes and may it cause their movement to fragment into so many competing factions that it would make a Trot blush.

        If gender were stored in the balls, then state-funded orchiectomy could create an agender society, truly a wondrous prospect! That is an extremely good bit.
