you know uncle bob who touches the kids sometimes didn't choose to do that, either.

[Destroyer]

I didn’t equate anyone with anyone else
I asked him a simple question
He said everything is a choice, so I’d like to know when he chose his sexual preference

[Destroyer]

Ok, when did you choose your gender, then?

[uh-oh]

word i can't help but troll when i lose interest in a topic.

to answer the question you asked him

i chose to be straight when i was around 8. whenever cooties stopped being a thing and going to the skating rink became a thing

might even be closer to 10

i guess thats a lie though because one of my earliest memories is rubbing my knub to my dads porn mags and getting beat for it.

i had to be like 4 or 5

i sometimes wonder if i got molested and don't remember because i've always been a deviant and i literally used to beat off all the time before i could even nut. i remember legit trying to fuck my "girlfriend" in like 4th grade

one of my moms friends blew me or something. i wish i had the memory to wack it too.

[Destroyer]

So you were kicking around with being gay or straight before that?

Believing someone would choose to be a part of a minority is like believing a white guy would choose to be black if given the option.
People make choices to do what seems easiest. Inviting hatred upon you when you could simply “choose” the other option makes no sense at all.

while i agree

we live in a society of victims. being the victim gets you rewarded and you get social points.

its the same reason dummies like baked alaska maces himself in the face and says antifa threw acid on him.

he wants to be a victim to garner sympathy and strengthen his cause.

im not saying everyone does it, im sure its a super minority. but it happens.

if you agree, and concede it's only a super minority, then you agree in a high majority of instances it's not a choice. correct?

absolutely.

haven't you ever heard any former racists or ex-clansmen talk about why they used to be the way they were?

the problem i have with that statement is "we as a society", who is the we in that? i didn't hear this racism is a mental illness talk until literally the other day. when did "we" decide this?

as for the question, no i havent heard former racists or ex-clansmen talk about why they were racist. were they prescribed some medicine by big pharma that cured them? or did they just change their mind one day after an epiphany? maybe one day i'll get an epiphany and my "depression" will go away.

if you agree it's not a choice do you also believe racism isn't a choice? if not, do you see why the two don't have to go hand in hand in diagnosing mental illness?

i understand your problem with that, i guess i can only claim reference to americans who disagree with racism but don't let our disagreement of racism interfere with our diagnosis of where it is coming from. if you exclude racists and centrists, the only reactions to racists seem to be punch them in the face and/or extinguish them from our society, or sit down and educate/introduce them to members of other races to dissipate what they've previously been conditioned to feel.

as far as your last two questions, the answer is neither. they came to realize that their prejudice was rooted in self-loathing, insecurity, lack of experience, and fear projected as hate and anger. i believe some of those symptoms are the common denominator in all forms of prejudice as in gender or class.

You are a fool if you dont think people choose to stand out for whatever reason. Especially in todays everyones a youtube star days. Hatred means nothing all publicity is good publicity depending on how you rock 'your thing'.

bro, white folks try and be black all the time.

male, female, intersex. three biological genders - not a matter of choice. if you want to identify as a woman, ok, but don't compel me to entertain your self-image.

inviting hatred upon yourself makes perfect masochistic sense. how many of us already self-loathe? either that or it's just fashionable.

[Destroyer]

White folks try to act black
If given a legitimate choice to become black, I think we’d see quite a bit of backpedaling

u rite.

i'm just gonna throw my dick everywhere while i identify as an otherkin because none of this is a choice for me. i'm just a passenger to the inexorable will of the cosmos.

[Eŋg]

don't assume my gender, age, or race bruh.

@Witty, i have no problem with a man wanting to be a woman, or a woman a man, if they so wish. intersex occurs in nature. i'm not with the gender fluid shit though, nor compelled pronouns, or the rhetoric positing there is no choice involved in the matter, because that's dangerous for reasons i don't need to outline.

[WRATH]

I mean a nigga cant think @Destroyer how tf should i know why a mf wants to switch genders

[Destroyer]

You shouldn’t know why
And you have to be comfortable with that

[boof]

@uh-oh people argue that being trans isnt a mental illness because its a physical feeling from birth. like homosexuality. people argue that racism is a mental illness because it's a mental perspective learned from others. that is why it's not both or neither. they're on different planes in most people's mind including mine.
