At the surface level it seems like psychiatrists are confident that these types of interventions work but looking deeper into their statements reveals a pretty horrifying truth. Specifically these 2 quotes:
" The quality of evidence pertaining to most aspects of treatment in all subgroups was determined to be low; however, areas of broad clinical consensus were identified and were deemed sufficient to support recommendations for treatment in all subgroups." Or in other words: "we know there isn't substantial evidence that this works and definitely not enough to fulfill the standards that other medicine is held to but we're going to keep going through with it anyway".

"For some important aspects of transgender care, it would be impossible or unwise to engage in more robust study designs due to ethical concerns and lack of volunteer enrollment. For example, it would be extremely problematic to include a 'long-term placebo treated control group' in an RCT of hormone therapy efficacy among gender variant adults desiring to use hormonal treatments." or in other words: "Even though this common practice everywhere else in medicine and in some cases even more ethically tedious since people who are dying will need to specifically go without medicine that could save them, we are going to not actually carry out studies that would show the truth because the truth is probably very inconvenient."

 >>/2922/
HSTS is associated with homosexuality, AGP isn't. AGP is supposed to be most common among people with high IQs and some other traits that are common in the Rationalist Community™.
The prevalence of transitioning in the Rationalist Community™ is assumed to be because of a high prevalence of AGP, but the motivation for transitioning expressed in the OP is associated with HSTS.

There is literally nothing more high IQ than slicing off your cock to fuck aging yids.

 >>/2923/
There's an idea I've seen floating around chans that AGPs can be "pseudobi", or attracted to the idea of being in a relationship with a guy so that they feel more feminine. Maybe Ozy wrote something about it? Don't remember.

If I remember correctly, there used to be a significant correlation between autism and homosexuality, which diminished as homosexuality became more accepted. The likely reason was that autistic people are less likely to hide it, not that the actual rates are different from neurotypicals.
I don't think I'd put my confidence as high as 50%, but it's completely consistent with his hypothesis for it to be visible in weird places without truly being more prevalent in those places.
There's an implicit assumption that the environment only affects visibility, not the underlying condition.

 >>/4892/
"At least 20%" is very high, though. It is hard to believe it was that high even 50 years ago, whereas it is easy to believe ~1% of men was homosexual in 1968, 1918 or 1868. Something must have happened.

> "At least 20%" is very high, though.
He's using an inclusive definition that includes people who feel too weakly female for any transition to be worth it. People who would, all other things being equal (even things that can't be equal), prefer a female body.
Even then, 20% intuitively seems on the high side for the general population, but it's plausible for some communities. So maybe.
> It is hard to believe it was that high even 50 years ago, whereas it is easy to believe ~1% of men was homosexual in 1968, 1918 or 1868. Something must have happened.
Would you have thought the same thing 50 years ago?
It's very obvious in retrospect that a lot of homosexual people existed, but that's taking current data into account. I think I would make a much lower estimate if I only had the common knowledge of 50 years ago.

EY is projecting the image of tranny sexual prey onto regular men to feed his growing sadistic appetite.

What is the naturalist's approach to this transgender absurdity? Isn't there a more cost, time and energy effective method of treatment, such as real therapy and psychiatric medication?

Maybe the Bay Area progressivism got to him, for all his apolitical pronouncements, he drank the "gender is a social construct" kool-aid and hasn't steelmanned the notion that trannies are just deluded people with cognitive distortions and faulty (irrational, epistemically incoherent, unnaturalistic) beliefs.


"We find that whole communities suddenly fix their minds upon one object, and go mad in its pursuit; that millions of people become simultaneously impressed with one delusion, and run after it, till their attention is caught by some new folly more captivating than the first."

AGP may be a meme, but for homosexual  transgenders there is a clear fMRI picture of female limbic system which they share with gay men. See http://www.pnas.org/content/105/27/9403

Also that article is dumb because it assumes no sexual dimorphism in human brain and innate behavior which is clearly not true via mane experiments, see http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/08/07/contra-grant-on-exaggerated-differences/

TLDR Homo men and Homo->MtFs have feminine brain core, gay lifestyle and hrt/transitioning may be just different coping styles, or mtfs have some additional not yet found modifications.

That being said hrt us just hrt and it should not be a political thing to modify one's body this way or that way. AGPs are a meme.

To be honest I voted cismale but I've jerked off before to imagining I'm one of the girls in a yuri manga, so should I have voted for the AGP fetish too?

 >>/4904/
when a male is submissive it doesn't mean they're somehow magically a girl on the inside. 

the idea that women shape masculinity is a bizarre, where masculinity is about freedom and self-definition, submission and feminisation are the total opposites. women might impose slight selective influence over mates, but they look for qualities that the man developed himself. otherwise the advice given by women would be useful in attaining a mate, and single motherhood would produce well-adjusted men. but neither of those are the case

Examples of masculine virtues include: ambition, diligence, persistence, endurance, accountability, bravery, confidence, commitment, assertiveness, defiance, punctuality, discipline, focus, determination, fortitude, loyalty, honesty, dependability, justice, honor, majesty, orderliness, restraint, steadfastness, chastity and wisdom.

 >>/4911/
a "slight selective influence"? No. When women are free to choose partners their preferences determine which men reproduce and which don't. Those preferences naturally tend towards not wisdom and commitment but assertiveness and not giving a fuck (independence) unless wise men who commit have high status. Women reward (instinctively, not deliberately) certain kinds of behavior in men with sex, encouraging it. This is how they shape masculinity.

You should read Heartiste and Jim starting with https://blog.jim.com/culture/all-women-are-like-that/.

 >>/4914/
I think you're giving too much weight to what women reward. When a man chooses to become assertive, dominant and high status they gain more benefits than just women liking them. Women counter-signal bodybuilding (e.g. "I love dad bods"), assertiveness ("just be a nice guy") and other positive male traits because the way they control men is by being the only option the man can get, and hold the man in the friendzone to exercise that control ("hey can you please help me move some furniture? OMG thanks you're such a great guy"). 

Assertiveness and dominance is control over women, not rewarded by controlling women.

Is there a connection between being mtf and programming?

 >>/4993/
If I remember correctly, yes, but maybe only because there's a connection between autism and programming, a connection between autism and being trans, and a connection between programming and being AMAB.
Programming is the stereotypical AGP profession.

 >>/4997/
Wait a second… maybe AGPs are just the autistic version of trans mtfs.

 >>/4998/
No, it's more likely related to age of transition. AGPs still get the hormones that make you interested in programming because they typically transition after puberty.
Similarly, women with congenital adrenal hyperplasia have a more male-typical hormone makeup and tend to have more male-typical interests, presumably including programming.

Computer science used to have plenty of women in it a few decades ago. What changed?

 >>/5019/
Programming graduated from being seen as secretary work to being more high status, and women were no longer excluded from many other challenging lines of work so they had more to choose from if they wanted something mentally challenging.
According to Scott, IIRC. It sounds plausible to me.

 >>/5020/
> Programming graduated from being seen as secretary work
This is the politically correct story. Another is that the nature of what the majority of programmers did changed and programming stopped being secretary work.

 >>/5021/
Did it, even compared to present-day lowest common denominator Java jobs? What was it like before? I'm not too familiar with COBOL.

 >>/5023/
Not the whole story, perhaps, but part of it:  up though the early 1980s at least, people like scientists, financial analysts, or even EEs and MEs often didn't interact directly with the computers and embryonic spreadsheet or statistical or engineering packages of the day.  Programmers did.  Yes, those programmers were technically doing computer programming, but the algorithms to use were being fed to them by their superiors, and their day to day life was more like being a secretary using Excel than than being on a modern software engineering team.

 >>/5023/
Another rung programmed "programmers" with flowcharts, and those programmers wrote machine code or asm.

 >>/5019/
This lie gets told in two forms, both are false but for different reasons. The first for goes like this "programmers used to be mostly women in the 50-60s, look at the ENIAC girls". This is true, but back then programming meant loading a program (written by a man) into a computer. In the case of the ENIAC this was done by rewiring it according to the instructions, with later computers it was through front panels, loading tapes or punched cards. Regardless: not programming as we mean it today.

The second form relies on pointing out the fact that people enrolled in computer science in the early 80s were 35% female. This happened because back then computer science was an easy faculty. Things changed in the mid 80s with the microcomputer boom a lot of CS professors went into the private sector and admission requirements into CS were raised to cope with the professor shortage. Widespread availability of microcomputers also changed the nature of CS from something like mathematics to something more solitary: programmers were now supposed to mostly work alone staring at a computer terminal.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/34/Usenix84_1.jpg/1600px-Usenix84_1.jpg

This is a photo of USENIX84, this happened at the height of female enrollment in CS, you are welcome to count how many women went to USENIX during the golden age of women in CS.

This, but "based and redpilled" instead.

 >>/5052/
That fails the fun heuristic: it is too fun for the in group of a prediction to be derived from good priors.

 >>/5048/
Because that's how it was. The industry was set up to hire from electrical engineering and from mathematics. CS was just mathematics-light, people who would make relatively straightforward translation of algorithms into some assembly language, FORTRAN or COBOL.

 >>/5056/
Can you translate?

demographic?

I don't understand what your question actually is… Like do you mean that its weird there are so many? Are you curious and want to expose yourself to that particular strain of the social contagion? What kind of answer are you looking for?

 >>/5074/
> Like do you mean that its weird there are so many? Are you curious and want to expose yourself to that particular strain of the social contagion?
Both of these. Transwomen seem to want to be treated like cis women. They say they want a social role with different expectations. I am curious if they are trans or a separate ("trans-adjacent"?) phenomenon and, yes, why there are so many. If this is social contagion, what is the vector?

 >>/5075/
"Trans" is a disgustingly grey area of gender identity. Some transwomen experience a ton of dysphoria and want nothing to do with their dicks. Others don't experience as much/any, so they end up wearing shirts that say FUTANARI and running lucrative patreon accounts.

 >>/5076/
It is not the dicks that are interesting to me, it is the "socially dominant" part. Typically, social dominance is associated with masculinity. Do the AMABs who wish to become a socially dominant dickgirl like their masculinity? Do they want to retain or increase it AND ALSO to acquire femininity? That sounds more transhumanist than transgender.
> wearing shirts that say FUTANARI
Inaccurately, it is worth noting.

 >>/5079/
I don't think everyone associates dominance with gender like that. For some people I think the idea of being a dominant male is gross, but the idea of being a dominant female is very attractive. The way you leverage masculinity vs femininity in that role is totally different.

That raises the question, why are demons becoming so much more common these days?

1504806875497 jpg
(41.58 KB, 600x410)

 >>/5118/
Demons manifest when negative emotional states become self-aware. If you obsess over your money troubles, that's problematic, but not likely to spawn a demon. But when you start to obsess over your obsession, then you're feeding that emotion with itself. It becomes self-sustaining, recursive, a tightly-wound spiral of psychic anguish.  


And here's the key - that spiral can see itself in the input you're feeding it. Think of an ape mindlessly gurning in front a mirror. Suddenly it realised that it's seeing itself, and in the same moment becoming aware that it has a self. This is the origin of sentience. A demon has awakened from the spiral.

We know from Omohundro that the prime goal of any intelligence is self-perpetuation, or security. As a parasite formed from the eddys of a malfunctioning brain, the newborn demon is inherently insecure. Its first acts are to ensure its continued existence by manipulating its host. As a being native to the mind, even minor demons can exert remarkable influence over their hosts. By maximising their host's suffering, they can grow, embedding deeper into the brain, infesting memories, entraining compulsions, and warping perceptions. The more they suffer, the stronger the demon becomes, and the strong the demon, the greater the suffering. Before long the demon is strong to enough to make the leap from an individual consciousness to the broader, shared, cultural memeplex. Human culture is just a human brain writ large, and to a mature demon the gap is easy to cross.

But why the recent explosion in demonic activity? The answer is simple: psychoanalysis. By encouraging people to think on their problems, psychologists have unwittingly unleashed a horde of sentient memetic parasites.

It depends on whether your values include "softer skin is better skin".

Most men, if they were offered the ability to transform into a girl when they wanted, would accept just to masturbate to themselves in the mirror. At least I think so. Am I typical minding?

 >>/5622/
Yes, yes you are.

 >>/5622/

Not quite. Most guys are apparently sufficiently low openness that when presented, genuinely, with the prospect of being a woman it freaks them out. 

According to stan grof, the third most common source of panic during an lsd therapy session is the fear of becoming homosexual. “It is usually initiated by feelings of very authentic identification with representatives of the opposite sex. A male subject can experience not only an authentic female body image, but a very genuine sense of what it feels like to be pregnant, to deliver a child, or to have a vaginal and clitoral orgasm.”

Also if you became a woman you'd jack it to yourself? A full-flesh woman and you're gonna touch in the mirror? Seriously?

Go get banged anon what kind of perverse agp fantasy is this lol.

Interesting. It is easy to forgot how much openness varies when you mostly deal with people who are +1 SD and up. What is the typical rationalist's Big Five profile?

> Transsexualism is a form of self-improvement. We are biologically male, or at least, we begin that way. We are attracted to women, but love women and femininity beyond simple sexual attraction. We modify our bodies using modern pharmacology (and sometimes surgery) to adopt the desirable traits of women, in specific, secondary sexual characteristics, while preserving those traits of men that are worth preserving. The sheer intelligence of men, the tact of a woman; the tall and slender body of a man, the graceful features of a woman; the courage of a man, the peacefulness of a woman; the stoicism of a man, the empathy of a woman. Obsolete no more, by means of transsexual transitioning, the now estrogenized male has upgraded herself to the best of both sexes and thus overcomes the weaknesses of both male and female.
