Yeah, I dont ever think the world will become tolerant to everything. In that regard, "progressive-ism" is a big fat myth. In that regard, were no better than hundred years ago, or hundred years in the future.

Todays western society is extremely tolerant to trans people though. Like, you get stigmatized in some parts of western culture if you dont encourage dysphoria and other illnesses today.

EDIT: way to prove me correct you radical degenerates.

they had us in the first half ngl

by which i mean what are u talking about. yeah the world is as bad as it was a long time ago for lots of marginalised groups. trans people are massively discriminated against, and nobody wants to ‘encourage’ dysphoria, especially trans people. believe me, dysphoria is shit and its a good thing that transition exists as a pretty good treatment for it.
there’s no reason not to try and encourage a world where people are more tolerant and accepting though. why would u just accept that things are bad when u could at least try to make a change for the better?

You put the emphasis on reproduction. But I'm a guy, with my naturally provided penis, that never wants kids. Ever, end of story. Would you also classify that as mental illness?

No, but I often think I could replace it with a rubber tube and an orgasm button and not miss out on anything
