- Predation – This is only group in recent history that is allowed to openly prey on or groom young children, since they aren't aiming for the kind of sexual exploitation associated with the cis, het/gay dynamic. However, here's the thing: it's been established that trans women (specifically) are more often AGPs; whose way of getting off begins (and sometimes ends) in the mind. So while their predation does not need to end in a physical encounter with the potential victim, they can (and most certainly do) gain satisfaction from the fact that they have scored another convert (who they may very well get one day). Furthermore, since the predator isn't engaging in the typical one-on-one interaction found in such dynamics, the predator's culpability is reduced. For example: Older troon makes a Reddit post praising the "euphoria" experienced from your latest round of HRT; the comment section is quickly flooded with "affirmation"; commenters, including impressionable, young, and confused kids (who, we know, rely on attention and affirmation to survive) want what they have. Another egg drops.
- Contagion – In this uncharted chapter of human history, we are seen (by the aliens who want nothing to do with us, of course) accepting, wholesale, a(n) (ironically) man-made construct that abandons all logic, science, and common sense. And any dissension (reasonable or vitriolic) is met not with a simple “pay no mind,” but forms of life ruination. Even faux pas (misgendering, deadnaming, lingering glances at an apparent bestubbled Adam’s Apple caked in unblended concealer, etc.) unintentionally committed by those who are at least trying to be polite or tolerant, are treated as an affront to the core, and met with hostility. Consequently, trans people have seemingly jumped ahead of minorities and other marginalized people (to say nothing of their own rainbow cohort), with the result being that the social contagion of their "movement" so swift and accepted, that no one can blink, let alone ask the fundamental question ”Just because we can, should we?”, because [see above].
- Inclusion – Being gay or lesbian (and to some extent, bi) is a pretty simple paradigm, in the respect that those groups are mostly defined and closed off onto themselves. Meaning, there are no gay/lesbians demanding het men/women date them, or else. (In fact, we’re (rightfully) shooed away from their spaces if we get a little too comfortable.) Additionally, this is how an interaction goes if they hit on someone who is (unbeknowst to them) hetero:“I like you. You’re not gay? Bummer. Oh well, I have a whole swath of others in my tribe I can vibe with. See ya.”
Trans people, on the other hand – dealing with the ultimate paradox of championing for being a distinct group, letter in the ever-expanding alphabet, and (set of) color(s) in the rainbow, then suffering the consequences
of that distinction – are faced with a peculiar fork in the road:
- Proceed to the endgame (full transition - fleeting as it already is) which would mean abandoning the trans designation and identifying as cis (or, at least stealth fulltime) so that (there is a chance) you can be included in those (het, lesbian, gay, bi…) spaces; failing that
- Remain in perpetual transition (if only by virtue of remaining attached to the designation(s)); and – by nature of the other groups’ model – close off unto yourself and coalesce with those you’re truly entitled to be with (other trans).
Either, or. But please,
there is no such thing as a transwoman lesbian. That’s an incel dog whistle (lol, love using their language against them) in a blatant backdoor attempt into an established and defined group that shouldn’t have to let you enter in the first place, no matter how much you reeeeeeeee; but (kind of) does so because:
i. The whole premise of the LGBT+ community is about love and acceptance for all (effectively shooting themselves in the foot with that generous (or, at least, loosely-interpreted) open door policy); and
ii. Trans persons – through the adoption of the (customized) language and tactics of other marginalized groups (to especially include the L and G) – have become the perfect weapon. (It's like when Iron Man was getting beat up by Captain America, but then had JARVIS quickly learn his fighting style so that he got the upper hand. We’ve created Iron TransMan.)
The option of perpetual transition is the more likely choice many of them take (mostly because it's the path of least resistance (for them)). Which, in turn, means they demand into, subsequently invade, and then dominate cis spaces, and dare you to say something. Name one group in the annals of history who has gone on to be revered due to the tactics executed by transpersons?
I hate this. Reasonable people hate this. And this is why they bother me.
