I am so fucking confused

I am 30 years old, 31 this year. I was born in 1985.

I am so fucking confused.

When did this gender-fluid, i-identify-as-a-non-binary shit start? How did it start and what is the reason behind it? Is there something in the water? Is it a generation thing?

It seems like it came out of nowhere, and now it's everywhere.

I don't understand it.

Growing up, ther were two kinds of humans. Male and female. One had a penis, the other didn't.

And now, you can identify yourself as anything. There are literally hundreds, fuck, if not thousands of terms.

I understand that all colleges are left, but that does not explain the 10-18 year olds who self-identify as *****

I don't understand what is going on.

Why is this happening?

When did it start?

And when will it end?

Maybe it's just a trend to identify yourself as neither male or female? Maybe?

the internet gave them a place to meet up and then they evolved their own language

i'm both proud and distraught to have been alive when the internet as it is first came to be

Kids grew up with internet access and got tainted earlier than usual.

So you're blaming the internet? makes sense, in a way.

Im not sure eithier it really kicked off in 2014-now and has no signs of stopping. It used to be not so in your face, however it's in the media now;video games, school etc.

Really seemed like someone flipped a switch and had the liberals go crazy out of nowhere.

Video games are the ultimate form of degeneracy.

Fuckin whippersnappers, I tell ya.

I'm pretty sucking dick is more degenerate

>When did it start?
About 6 months ago.

tumblr

...

New York has now recognized 31 different "genders" and business' can be fined up to $241,000 for knowingly labeling someone as the incorrect "gender". It's seriously getting out of hand. I never imagined the government would actually justify these Libtards by recognizing this bull shit. If New York is actually giving credence to this bull shit, I honestly don't know what's next. I used to laugh at this Tumblr shit, call yourself a fucking Asexual panda bear for all I care, but the moment you start forcing other people to recognize your made up gender I don't know what to do. It's got to be some sort of intentional fuck you to non liberals. They want us to fall in line and they're seeing just how far they can shove this shit down our throat before we give in or push back.

The only thing more degenerate than video games is anime.

Sincerely hope that you both die.

For something that's being pushed so hard as genetic, it's bizarrely contagious. We've all seen one person from a group of friends come out as trans and then all their friends immediately come out as some sort of wackier gender identity.

Sucking dick is far less degenerate than video games

>Really seemed like someone flipped a switch and had the liberals go crazy out of nowhere.

I wonder who that could be

YOU'RE FUCKING OLLLDDDDDD

This will sound edgy but it is feminism and the entire idea that women are anything more than fuck toys and chuldbearers

Before ~2010 it was basically an upper class academic meme.

2010-2013 it was a running joke on the internet.

2013-2014 it blew into the mainstream.

2014 the left jumped the shark.

2015 they lost for intents and purposes and became a running joke even in the mainstream, even my geriatric father makes white privilege and cultural appropriation jokes.

2016 is the panicked desperate flailing a lost cause.

It started after WW1 and it's called cultural Marxism,

The only thing worse than being old is coming from a genetic line of felons, I mean, australian..

>Is there something in the water?

Yes, actually. The hormones from birth control are pissed out and don't get filtered in water treatment.

porn, internet and hysteria related to unintelligent peoples inability to control their emotions rationally forming a hugboxing wing of people who viciously scowl and anyone who opposes their viewpoint thus fueling each others fantasies and evolving them

also the whole 'feel you feel it you are it' transsexual hugbox ideology that is simply not true. Lots of people question, feel and think how the other pastures are, its very normal. telling people you're fucking wonky because you do something a lot of normal people do, and that you need to fuck your body up to fix your wonkyness is what's led us down this road. Transsexuals are very real and suffer very much, but this poly-gender neutralism and dumb shit like the bathroom issues only serve to take transsexuals and abuse them as a scope to push retarded legislature while cooperatively shitting on those very transsexuals who need medical assistance but aren't getting it.

It's just a meme mostly. Less than 1% population are serious about alt-gender.

You are not 30

I remember a thread a few months ago where a Gen-X'er asked if kids today still have well-defined social cliques, like in the 80's and 90's--- goths, skaters, jocks, nerds, hippies, etc.

Most of the millennial responses indicated that today's teens are homogenous and that most kids look and dress the same. It was a surprising response.

Perhaps this "gender identity" fad is nothing more than today's homogenized kids trying to invent personalities for themselves. How does one distinguish themselves from everybody else if all the ready-made personalities of cliques are no longer in fashion?

>that picture

I think in 2008 when the housing market went under and people went cuhraaaaaazy

If you're juggling incoherent bullshit, you can't organize and fight back. Every army would love nothing better than for its opponent to have a gender identity crisis.

>How did it start and what is the reason behind it?
it's purpose is to divide the country and make republicans look evil, so democrats can remain in control and take all our money (their real goal, not tranny rights)

They've always existed, maybe in smaller numbers, they've just always been either:

A) In the closet

B) In hiding

Because of massive social pressure. You can probably blame alot of this on the increased prosperity of society. Nobody had time to think about their gender identity because they still had to till the fields or work in a factory all day.

Its all a distraction from our economy about to implode and the powers that be importing millions of non Americans to suppress our vote and divide us.

I think it's just more prevalent now. I am older than you are and the there were Transgender kids in my Hs who were even in the cool kids clique. Though I went to HS in nyc.

The first generation to grow up on the internet has resulted in this.

I'm not saying it is good or bad, but the internet has united a lot of outcasts. Look at Sup Forums, furries, MLP, etc.

This is only the beginning. Internet culture will bring much more.

ultimately i believe it will just lead to an acceptance that EVERYONE is different on the internet and the focus will be on keeping those seperate

BERENSTEIN

I dont see marches of trannys demanding bathroom rights, this is all media driven. If this was such a huge issue they would be marching against the evil. Yet they dont.

This is just how youngsters like to present themselves without ramifications from people like their parents or employers.

If I turned up to work with my head shaved on the sides and dyed pink/green on top I'd be asked to get rid of it or leave.

Not lettings kids express themselves is now a form of abuse.

There was an hour long montage of gender confused nutjobs on youtube but I never kept the link, any one got it?

Not OP but 30 is not old by any means.
Your life is pretty much just getting started in your 30's and most of you will reach 90's.
You're only a kid for a very short time.

I see it all the time, but I live in the liberal capital of NC. HB2 has brought out all off the degenerates in a city full of them.

Wow this makes a lot of sense. I'm 19 I graduated 2 years ago. It's astounding how similar everyone was. We all talked the same, dressed the same and pretty much thought the same. Scary really. Nobody really had their own identity. Towards the end of my highschool year I started to wear addidas track suits to school for shits and gigs, I really tried hard to separate myself from the rest especially after the discovery of Sup Forums in 2012

Oy vey, why are you making baseless accusations?

I could be way off base but I think the dissolution of the USSR, which removed the boogeyman kicked the public school system and the media into high gear of marxism.

Neocons launched war on terror to give us a common foe, but failed miserably. I dont know, shits fucking weird and all the youth try to conform by being the same, thinking they are rebelling.

It's, as usual, a fad.

Much like the Satanic Panic.

It, too, shall pass -- unlike most MtFs.

This one?

>Growing up, ther were two kinds of humans. Male and female. One had a penis, the other didn't.

This is scientifically incorrect. There are many possible X/Y combinations, some of which can have offspring.

genetic.org/Knowledge/WhatAreXYChromosomeVariations.aspx

>And now, you can identify yourself as anything. There are literally hundreds, fuck, if not thousands of terms.

Sex is a genetic designation.

Gender is applied to a variety of things. Nouns have genders in some languages. Inanimate objects like guns or boats can be gendered as female in English. Concepts like a nationstate can be a "Fatherland" or "Motherland."

The internet is increasing our ability to inform ourselves and communicate with others. Men and women that would have spent their lives keeping their identities secret are now learning that they are not alone and speaking out.

The real question is, why does this trigger you?

It started around mid-2013 and really took off, consequently the number of people being called a cuck also increased proportionately. It would be my advice to short SJW stocks when Trump becomes president and the cuck bubble bursts.

I'm your age op and it baffles me aswell. In high-school if someone did something weird he be called a fag jokingly for months, even a teacher called a kid a spic and he called the teacher a white boy and everyone laughed. Now everyone tries to be offended by everything.

My hypothesis is that we have it so fucking good that people need problems to make them feel human. Remember how gay marriage was going insane a few years ago? The gov legalised it so noone could complain anymore. Now they're jumped on this tranny shit. In a few years when trannys get extra rights it will be "non touching" pedophilia or some shit.

Yeah that's probably it.

It started with Obamas second term

The internet has ruined humanity

I'm about the same age.

Here's how I see it...

Mid to late 90s dodge ball was taken out of school, preventing the strong vs weak, vs smart, vs mediocrity. That same time internet and chatrooms formed, unless you knew what you were looking for a particular hugbox, it existed under the radar.
Early 2000s people in the US began to more broadly accept the internet, easier to find echo chambers. Schools began pushing social groups into one another forcing a more 'equal-tolerant-bullshit' agenda, simultaneously in US colleges the idea that marrit based anything is unacceptable and we must repent on the idea that only the smart should get into colleges. (This may have happened in the 90s but I may not have caught it.) The terms changed for illegal invaders to illegal aliens.
Late 2ks- black man president. Whites figured that OK black man in office, MLK is sated. Malcolm X would be ashamed. Continued and strengthened affermative action. Osama killed AGAIN, under a black man, blackmen now hero's but not dead. Black people who believe in merit accomplishments alienated by their own race, forcing them to stop leading their race, in the power vaccum liberal justicy white women with social programs on their cortex begin influential infestations of black culture. Simultaneously, hugboxes, echo chambers shattered in the internet. Bullies no longer allowed to push the socially awkward into becoming a social norm allowing special snowflakes from childhood/preteen/teen into adulthood. Creating a second front for the average intelligence to combat forcing confusion into an otherwise simple issue.
2010s on, enter the violations we know to be self evident. People who spoke out against the rise of the forces were forced out of the equation. Because its easiest to rule a population divided. (Think back to having civil discussions with different political beliefs, there was a healthy respect for dissenting opinions) now it is a jumble of people who try rape others.

...

Cont'd.
Raping those who decide that the current state of the union is unacceptable. But its OK because they are the victims.

Its like a psyop gone too well in a couple of ways.
1) divide everyone
2) make everyone distrust everyone but the system
3) usurp power from people because no people will trust other people
4) ???
5) profit

Canada is top of the list for all but microaggression

It's like a useless, niche species that would have naturally died off in all other circumstances, personally I think all these weird aberrations can not be avoided but they are gaining more steam because it's useful for the political establishment and dumb kids think confused gender ideology is a valid alternative to developing "character".

I remember when cuck was becaming a thing. It was really spontaneous, started mostly on Sup Forums with excessive posting of Louis C.K. threads where the op always runs back to the same cuck joke over and over again. And like all other memes on the internet, they start here, on Sup Forums.

The internet has a weird way of magnifying that sjw-pc-enlightenment shit. They're actually a very small portion of the population. There are some kids who are simply contrarians who are angry with their parents and trying to be different. The 'special snowflake' meme is real. People just want to be special.

fuck off

I think the mere fact that it arose in the past decade is proof that is in the end a futile exercise in identity politics. Homosex have been around since the beginning of written history, to me it makes sense that some would just grow up to be attracted to the same sex. Not all that contrived. But to insist that in reality you are the other gender, or NONE of the genders? Come the fuck on.

>It seems like it came out of nowhere, and now it's everywhere.

It came about after the mandela effect so I'm guessing it has to do with what was going to happen in this Barenstain universe.

2007. Something happened in 2007 that started all this shit.

I think the push back is going to come hard

special snowflake competition

Nov 30 2011 - Crown prince of Albania dies. Coincidence?

The Internet has given these freaks a false sense of belonging and righteousness. Honestly, for most of these people it's just a rebellious phase that they will grow out of.

It's manufactured outrage. I'm shocked to see the issue dip it's toes even in Hungary. Thank God just about nobody cares about this, and those who do want to see them burnt at the stake. The latter is detrimental to the cause of keeping normalcy, but still better than if it were the other way around.

There's two components. Psychological warfare (pic related) and physical effects from chemicals affecting especially men super hard, vid related: vimeo.com/15346778

Does this answer your question?

The problem is that those types are supported and given a platform by mainstream academia--an influential institution.

(1)Gay marriage being legalized has expanded ideologies.

(2)Internet more of a Social hub in the past 3 years.

Stay, /biz/.

Honestly I think a lot of kids nowadays want to desperate feel like they're making a difference - they they too have a civil rights battle to fight. But after the actual civil rights battle and gay people winning their fight what the fuck do they have left? So they pick up whatever they can - trans, muslims, etc.

I posted that half-joking, but check this out:

True. But most people understand that college is for kids. Sure, there are people pursuing postgraduate work and there are a few grown ups pursuing higher education for their own reasons. However, most grown ups understand they're dealing with 19 year olds who have figured out the world and can't wait to save us all while smoking terrible, low-grade marijuana next to shelves of cereal, top ramen, and capri suns in their dorm rooms. Within 3 years of graduation, most of these kids have more perspective and they try to hide their college beliefs and activities.

Same with the net. Now get off.

p-paint it red, don...

it came from academia. "gender" as it is now being pushed, is a sociology technical term. It was invented in the 1950s and didn't see any usage outside of a few sociology journals until the late 60s hippy/Marxist explosion which saw the last time feminists were trying to topple western civilization. it's been taught in classrooms since the 80s, and in the late 90s/early 00s it started filtering into general vernacular. by 2010 the meaning of the word gender had been changed and people would be corrected on it's "proper" meaning. what caused this current shitshow was Bruce Jenner, no one gave a fuck about this until that, and the SJWs defending Jenner's pronouns and normal people triggering them.

it's a new way to divide people, and a new path to power

Occupoop Designated Shitting Street

what major event happened summer to fall 2012 cause thats when it seems to really picked up only thing i can think of is obama getting re elected?

Normie here, please transmute me into a powerful hacker known as the Sup Forums. I also see this happening around me everyday at school... It pains me to see the amount of autism that has been spread unto the masses by the internet.

These ideas were basically invented in the late 80s and early 90s by radical feminists, Judith Butler being the most notable. They're literally WGSS theories trying to be forced from the classroom into reality.

What I think happened was that a lot of insecure men and women went to college, got caught up in an ideology that was well established and accepted in academic circles, and then really attached to it. Walk into any Women's Studies center on any college and you'll see the same kind of girl or guy, who know was a beta or the weird girl in middle school, hanging out and building a community. Tumblr and the Internet probably helped it.

Counterculture since the 60s has been made up of white kids trying to appear worldly, dangerous, suffering, anything other than spoiled rich kids. In order to do this, they need to adopt other identity, some reason to say they're not "just an average middle-class white kid."

But every new thing they invent - hippies, punks, gays, that is supposed to be shocking and anti-mainstream, is mainstream 10 years after they invent it. With the internet, this process has increased in speed. It now takes like 2 years instead of 10 for any new trend to become cliche.

New identities are still mostly being popularized and practiced by middle-class white kids. It's understandable. Sup Forums hates on average white kids for being weak, having everything handed to them, etc. The liberal who decides they're oppressed for being weird is acting on the same self-hate, the realization of how pathetic they truly are and how easy their life is and yet how little they've accomplished, they're just taking it to a different conclusion by trying to delusionally believe they're not normal and typical.

There have always been effeminate men through out the ages who revelled in the interest garnered from the sexual ambiguity. The mark of a man is being able to detect inconsistency and present consistency as strength and not be drawn into a mystery for mystery's sake or espouse impulsiveness.

>Is there something in the water?

Yeah stupid teenage girls.

It's what happens when a generation of people is raised by super liberal parents

you get super ultra powered-up extreme liberals

Recent graduate, I can certainly confirm. Almost. Most of the cliques from breakfast club, or Ned's high school survival guide, etc. are all gone. It's only normies, cucks, and autists.

Sadly the only cliques that remained in 3 of the high schools, only a few "cliques" remained. A strange mix of goth/scene/weaboo/ autistic outcasts. Spics had their own circle. . Then there were the IB, which is a program for "studious" kids.

Clubs were bare minimum, and nothing rarely happened in them. Kids were just there so they could put it on their college application. Only the ethnic clubs got any recognition, and the only thing they had to show for it was a shitty talent show when acts that usually had nothing to do with their culture. Debate teams and sports teams were a shit show of kids who don't do any kind of preparation and usually get their shit kicked in by private school kids.

I think this is why kids get into these shitty "Fandoms" and SJW shit. Their is no identity in high school anymore.

Good post

I blame David Bowie.

These people are either mentally ill or have extremely low test.

This, this shit just really took off and exploded within last couple years it's pretty depressing.
