Honestly, this infighting among trans people is kinda sad. You'd think they'd be able to empathise when their destinations are the others' origins.TIM calls for his fellow transfems to be more understanding towards transmascs. Naturally, post quickly devolves into shitting all over transmascs. Essential reading for TIFs who still doubt that TIMs despise them:

Again, I'm perplexed by this; for all this talk about solidarity in the trans community, there's a lot of self-centredness going on here.
After what happened to one of my trans friends, I feel sad at times, though that's typically overshadowed by incredulity or exasperation over permanent life-altering choices from the younger ones, or horror at the older middle-aged ones that are trying to be sexy and failing.Does anyone else get sad reading this thread sometimes? Maybe I'm just drunk, but it genuinely hurts sometimes to see all these young idiots permanently ruining their bodies and their lives because they got caught up in the tranny cult.
The (ex?)tranny formally known as Tyince is starting to break down. She had all surgeries… hysterectomy, phallo etc…
She flip-flopped her identity back and forth over the last 2 years… before finally admitting to detransitioning recently and adopting her birth name again.
She has been trying desperately to convince others (and herself) that she appreciates her journey, that life is beautiful etc…. that she has no regrets because the journey has made her who she is now….
She just posted to her youtube…. And yeah… that wall of lies is finally crumbling.,,.

Can someone archive, she is known to delete everything and I am retarded and at work.
I hope she doesn’t an hero. She is/was a very prominent trans success story and her story could really help stop other young people from going down the same path.
The push used to be to "accept yourself as you are and find people who accept you for that as well". Now it's become "change yourself to find acceptance from other people who are also changing themselves to find acceptance".
I regret that I can only give one react to your post. I think you hit the nail on the head here. That explains some of why there's so much degeneracy online now, and even why opsec is no longer a valued practice.It seems, for better or worse, this is becoming (has become?) the way of the world. Not just for trannies, but for everyone. And I think what sums it up best is this Youtube comment:

The context of this comment is Carefree Wandering's video about profilicity – or the name that he gives to the thought technology that's rapidly replacing authenticity in our culture.
He stops short of claiming either of the two is better or worse than the other, saying instead that anyone who's remotely online has willingly participated in profilicity to some extent. But he does contrast them rather helpfully with a third thought technology:
That is to say, before we had either of these, sincerity reigned supreme in our culture, which can vaguely be summed up as "change yourself to better fit the role that society gives you". This was around the time of arranged marriages and compulsory military service. Today it's hard to imagine us being so content with either of these, but generations of people built their identities around such things. And sincerity did last for quite a while, but women's lib and the World Wars probably hastened its demise.
Western culture embraced authenticity in the 20th century, which can be summed up, like you say, as "accept yourself as who you are to find your chosen role in society" (you'll see why I rephrased that in just a moment). I don't need to explain it in detail because it's the culture most people (millennial and older) have grown up with. This lasted until the advent of social media, at which point it became impossible to present our true and authentic selves online. But of course, the people who believe we were never really doing that in the first place would say that social media just destroyed the pretence.
Profilicity can likewise be summed up as a combination of the previous two: "change yourself to better find your chosen role in society" – and that choice is expressed through your profile, on social media or similar – or at least that's my parsing of it anyway. Everything is therefore a performance, an interaction with the imaginary person who reads your posts. Rather than observing people directly, we observe observations of them, such as photos. And the approval of strangers outweighs that of your family.
Even as I write it now, it sounds downright dystopian. Like, I don't get how the professor manages to stay so optimistic about the concept, particularly since the example he gave was of Philosophy Tube's (at the time recent) troon-out. Again, he stopped short of saying saying Abigail's attempts at femininity are fake or bad – just that these are the product of a "more advanced" thought technology, like what digital is to analog.
He does kinda say however that Abigail is performing femininity on social media for clicks and likes, even when Abigail claims it's authentic (the point here is that profilicity is so new and ill-understood, we still use the language of authenticity to describe it). But again, the same claims are made about every user of social media.
But I can't help thinking that profilicity explains the ongoing wave of troon-outs, particularly amongst the young. And it seems I'm not the only one who thinks this way.
Because even more AGPs and homosexuals don't castrate themselves before they can breed?Does anyone else get sad reading this thread sometimes?
Far and away the most popular choice among trannies. Paris, India, Monroe, Isis, etc etc. They're naming themselves after their wanking material.porn star name.
Troon privilege. Twitter is run by faggots and trannies who take care of their own kind.Surprise: he got his account back.
this makes me even more mad hearing trannies cry about how important “trans healthcare is”. [women] speak as if their anatomy is alien but truth is it’s been the default for medicine up until just recently.There are key structural differences outside of size alone between men and women. But all medical science has been developed around male bodies, with the exception of pregnancy care.
she knows very well it’s bullshit but just puts on the mask before treading into any tranny dominated territory. i made a post a while about how most people only wear the “ally” mask when it’s necessary but don’t give a shit about transphobic microaggressions or whatever in private.And mention "gender identity" as a "critical factor" when trying to talk about women's health
Neither of those look real.Seen an "alternative" version of Katy Monty's latest profile photo going around. Not sure if real.

The feminine urge to be insecure when people can see your massive hairy jawline and/or penis.I don't even know where to start with this one. Tumblr user discovers women can be insecure? A fat woman or woman with small breasts isn't upset about those things because they think they look like a man, generally.

KEVIN, NO!
Often times I find myself wishing for a
The it gets better campaign was so great as a teen! I had wondered at the time why those ads/that messaging helped me, given I'm not gay nor faced homophobia. It's hard to be different when the emotional stakes are so high to exactly conform. I think having media with teens in perfect, expensive clothes, perfect skin, glam lives, was also really hard to see as the primary pop culture teen media for girls. It was just maddening to see the gap between those tv teens, and yourself. High school fkn sucks and it's a lie to say otherwise. Adults need to support weird teens, not reinforce a message that they're not cool enough and that this is Very ImportantRemember the "it gets better" movement? It was targeted to Homos, but the sentiment applied to any kid who wasn't part of the norm. Basically every kid, because we all suffer from feeling out of place, ignored, ugly, alone in a crowd, like no one shares our interests or really cares about us at one point or another during our teenage years. But at some point you go on to adult life, maybe moving away from your hometown, and find your place and your people.
The push used to be to "accept yourself as you are and find people who accept you for that as well". Now it's become "change yourself to find acceptance from other people who are also changing themselves to find acceptance".
It's really sad. I liked the "it gets better" movement, because it does generally get better.
She certainly looks...unwell.From around 24:15, this woman, but it's not this video of her.
