Education is difficult, and schools are having more and more issues. Special needs are on the rise, functional illiteracy seems to be on the rise.

Social media and AI are breaking brains everywhere.

The solution to fear is education, and education in America is severely lacking (thanks Reagan)

This is why all the better educated countries (while they still have problems) on average do better.

Education on psychology and social structures, the humanities is incredibly important. On history

Acceptance- these are the “pick me” types or the clearly in denial types

Gay people who get married and have kids because that’s what’s expected. These are the trans people who don’t support transition. Belonging to the collective norm is more important to these people than honesty. They are scared of being kicked out of society for being themselves so they work for
December 10, 2025 at 7:18 PM
Trans isn’t a lie, a lie they see as harmful.

They think supporting the “lie” is the harm without realizing that performing gender assigned at birth is the lie for trans people

Another layer to all this is the people who *do* understand, but value social belonging over honesty.

These are the

This is why they can have paradoxical beliefs where they say they care while acting so hateful.

They don’t understand that for trans people the harm is in forcing them to perform a lie.

Transphobes are terrified of this idea because they are not trans and are incapable of understanding how being
December 10, 2025 at 7:18 PM
Harm is also difficult to discern. How do you know you are actually being hurt by something?

So many of these fearful people see being trans as harmful, they don’t want more people to be trans because they see it as a form of self harm, and that encouraging trans people is encouraging self harm
December 10, 2025 at 7:18 PM
They feel so unsafe and terrified of a dangerous person slipping past their defenses.

The fact of the matter is, malice is really fucking hard to discern.
December 10, 2025 at 7:10 PM
Oh and transvestigators-
These people have the danger label firmly glued on the visibly trans, and their fear of potential trans people leads them to hallucinate trans people.

They are so fucking scared it’s unreal, and pathetic.

They spend so much time analyzing and trying to discern because
December 10, 2025 at 7:10 PM
How much of that is projection and genuine self concern is debatable, depends entirely on the person

People form hierarchies no matter where they are

People have a right to fee uncomfortable with eachother, and not feel safe exploring why. Afterall, toxic people take advantage of honesty and don’t care about lying to get whatever they want so no matter what, people are always risky.

To words is also not something I see often.
December 10, 2025 at 7:02 PM
It makes people feel safe, even when they are not.

People feel safe when they feel normal and like the people around them are also normal.

I’m babbling,

I think it’s important to recognize this social need and what it’s absence can lead to.

In a lot of ways I think it’s obvious but putting it
December 10, 2025 at 7:02 PM
Cool and will not protect you from toxic people.

I’ve been thinking about how a lot of transphobia can be related to people wanting to know who is dangerous, it’s easy to slap a danger label on something easy to see when actual danger is so hard to know.

Most social outcasting is a herd mentality
December 10, 2025 at 7:02 PM
The makeover trope

People are vulnerable when they are alone.

You have to get to know people to know if their oddness is toxic or just them being a little different.

Gender performance and expectations, aesthetics, these are all surface and making judgements about a person based on them is not
December 10, 2025 at 7:02 PM
Are outcast. But normies can’t tell the toxic from the “weird”(ND) and more often than not a toxic top dog controls the group and outcasts the ones who don’t subscribe to their power structure (often the ND)

The popularity of nerd shy girl with no friends and popular jock trope, the popularity of
December 10, 2025 at 7:02 PM
Ideal, but then there’s the cis het girl who has been kicked out of the social group by the toxic women who gets preyed on by toxic men, who feed the need to be seen as feminine in exchange for control

For there to be outcasts, there are people doing the outcasting.

In a just world, toxic people-
December 10, 2025 at 7:02 PM
Being kicked out of normie social acceptance and not finding a healthy group leaves people open to the most toxic groups which pretend to be accepting while seeking to take advantage and use them
Like there’s the toxic girl who ends up with a toxic guy because they both have the same power structure

As soon as the channel comes up again I tell YouTube not to recommend the channel and typically it works for a while

Sometimes they pop up again down the road

I have Premium I don’t have the ads that turn the bar yellow.

I’m talking about ads by the YouTuber themselves.

If premium didn’t actually block the yellow/skippable ads, I wouldn’t pay for it
December 9, 2025 at 10:50 PM
I have premium, I have no inserted ads

I’m talking about baked in ads that the youtubers made for the specific video I’m watching (same outfit etc)
December 9, 2025 at 10:49 PM
The actual ads never show up

I’m talking about the sponsorships and and reads the YouTubers do without introduction that are baked into the video
