    Valid, valid, valid. You are valid, they are valid, we are valid, I am valid. The Cult of Validation. A person's locus of self-esteem and self-respect is external. You are nothing if you are not "validated" by someone else--preferably recalcitrant strangers on the Internet.

        Never understood it myself... When I was a kid we had 'learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all.' Now? The greatest love is that which you get from internet strangers and can be measured in likes and retweets. I can't even begin to imagine that will end well...

        Young people are desperate to belong. To see their growing self image reflected back Puberty was scary I remember. We are tribal still at base.

        If an identity requires external validation, its' not real.

        I think there's an interesting conversation to be had on this. We have to be careful that when we assert that NO validation cannot come at any cost (women's safety / freedom of speech) that doesn't mean it shouldn't happen where appropriate.

        A philosophy that ties in self esteem, or identity on the performance of approval, 'validation' by others, based on your conformance to a set of stereotypes 'identity', leaves everyone in a very fragile state.

        I feel moved to validate gender identities where it doesn't conflict with sexual boundaries, or is compelled, or is coerced so as to prop up delusion. Like, I have transwomen friends who know they're male and I use She because I choose to acknowledge their pref for femininity.

        it creates a mental state akin to borderline personality where you have no sense of self you can grasp. it creates anger and huge distress. the cult perpetuate this as a control. the you feel like shit because of others. you have no sovereignty. etc
