  • A “hallmark sign” of having gender dysphoria is persistent identification with or insistence on being the opposite sex for at least a period of six months. And “not everyone who is questioning their gender ends up being trans” is not a statement anyone would argue with.

    And no, confusion does imply being wrong. I rarely if ever saw it used as a short-hand for “not having an answer”. It usually means either “fail to understand” (e.g. “I’m confused, is the birthday on the 5th or on the 15th?”) or “made a mistake” (e.g. “Oh, sorry, I confused you for a friend of mine”). The term you’re looking for is “questioning their gender” or “exploring their gender identity”.


  • Being transgender is a constant and persistent condition. Even for genderfluid people the “fluidity” needs to be repeatable. If a girl/woman suffering from cramps during her period thinks “I wish I was a boy/man so that I didn’t need to suffer through this every month”, she doesn’t become trans because of it.

    And “gender confusion” isn’t a fair description. It’s basically saying “they are wrong about what they’re feeling”. And you’re not a telepath to know that




  • To summarize:

    There was a dude called Igor Girkin, he was in the Russian military. His crimes include, but aren’t limited to:

    1. Shooting down Malaysia Airline MH17 in 2014
    2. Torturing and executing Ukrainians
    3. Terrorism in Eastern Ukraine under guise of separarism
    4. Involvement in the annexation of Crimea (at least illegally crossing the border as a part of military force and threatening citizens)

    is arrested in Russia for saying that the Russian army is performing poorly in Ukraine and Putin and Shoigu (minister of defence) are not managing the situation appropriately.

    It shows that in Russia, showing honesty about war is more of a crime than murder and terrorism. Combined
