TTT, Dr Phil
Caught an episode of Dr Phil over coffee this morning called "A military cop's confession to his family: I want to be a woman". Good grief is it ever over the top. So much narcissism, lack of empathy, and woman larping, even Phil (who tends to play PC sympathy to the bone) called him out on his complete self-centered attitude.
Hard episode to watch. The TIM is completely stone-faced the whole while his wife and uncle that raised him are going to pieces. The poor uncle's pain just comes right through the TV and is palpable.
Standard fare (sans the conditioning via porn truth, which is made obvious as wife explains she caught him in their bed with another TIM), "I'm a woman because hair, makeup, dresses, and shoes". Every day is halloween.
Phil reverts to standard PC mode and virtuously goes on to guilt the uncle incredibly by pressuring "she is the same person you have always loved" and trying to sway him over to accepting.
End of the show his Twitter poll shows 24% would stay with a gender swapped partner, 76% would not stay.

24% would stay until it actually happened to them. Easy to be PC when it's all theoretical.
I HATE that "she's the same person you have always loved." No, HE isn't. If he were, he wouldn't now be a SHE. He wouldn't NEED to be a SHE. And if s/he were the same person, then s/he has been misrepresenting him/herself to you the entire time you were involved with and married to him/her.
I am so tired of people who know less than nothing about the actual details of what's involved condemning those of us who have to live with the reality.
The reality is: your husband will no longer want to have sex with you using his penis. He will pretend he's having a female orgasm. He will start creeping on your body and vampiring on your sexual response. He will redefine your sexuality for you, as if he had to the right, and demand you consider yourself a lesbian--or tell you that because he's "always been a woman" that you've always been a lesbian, and just didn't know it.
And then there's the "every day is Halloween" aspect to life; every act, every gesture, every utterance, every piece of clothing--it's all some big masquerade in which your spouse is obviously acting.

I don't think people want to hear the reality. It's messy, it's typically gross, frequently deviant, full of lies and people using. All those details derail the 'coming out party' most people feel socially pressured to participate in. Dr Phil was no exception, of course. Aside from accusations of "lack of empathy" over the obvious pain and distress the uncle and wife were going through, Phil applied the coming out party pressure, twisting every problem and emotional devastation into animal balloons for the celebration.
A lionized "former Navy Seal" feminized man named Christopher/Kristin Beck was trotted out for cred, to illustrate how the most "manly man is really a woman". Beck penned a book called "Warrior Princess" about his life. Surprising he didn't name himself Zena.
It's all rather inconvenient to the party being thrown when it's based on PTSD inflicted on spouses/partners/children/parents. It's the new closet and the mentally/emotionally abused family members are the ones tossed in.

Thanks for the (bitter, rueful) laugh over "Surprising he didn't name himself Zena."
I don't know how you could even watch it. I couldn't have.

Re: TTT, Dr Phil
It's kind of awful isn't it? I can't get away from this in other programs on TV either. I find myself yelling at my TV like a crazy person and shutting it off in disgust lately. I should find something better to do honestly, but have been so depressed I can't be bothered. Hard to feel better when it's always in your face in some way.

Re: TTT, Dr Phil
I keep my finger on the pulse of this shambling wreck of a society not because I want to, but because I feel I have to. My son is 4 now, and all this is heading like a freight train into his life.
Public school in my state indoctrinates kids with the "everyone makes up their own reality" philosophy of ID politics. They start in kindergarten.
Children's television isn't the TV we grew up with.
I feel like I'm constantly running interference so he can be a child these days, because the world is out to confuse him, tell him science is fiction, and convince him that delusion and fantasy need to make up the fabric of his life.
