gonna try not to pl too hard in this pl thread, ive known too many people who have jumped on the tranny train. sorry its so long, its about all the archytypes of people fallen into the trans cult around me.
a girl i used to be friends with, super bpd, use heavy drugs, lesbian (i suspect shes at least somewhat bisexual), distant and uncaring parents, just going down a really rough patch. when i first met her she was in uni, working parttime jobs serving tables or making coffee, goes a bit too wild on the weekends, but so is every 20 yo bpd woman. then she got into "sex work," became a prostitute and had an only fans to support the drug habit, stopped going to uni. next thing you know she is now a fully MAN, got her tits chopped off, and suffering very serious side effects of T just a little bit over a year on it. being a troon is clearly just another step in her self destruction under that bpd retardation, but no one is allowed to say that. stopped being close to her when she got super into prostitution, and has just been watching the wildfire grow. technically I didnt lose her to trannism but general bpd fuckery, her personality is also annoying to be fair, but seeing this mentally retarded woman getting her boobs chopped off is really ... scary? even for normal women who had to get titty chop for cancer reasons its a fucking nightmare and source of immense stress and pain, its rather bleak for me to think of how this already insane and suicidal early 20sth woman is going to react when she gets out of it. and due to the nature of bpd she is for sure going to change her mind on her "trans identity." i wish she will not rope it but its kinda like, if not people like her then who? shes already got much higher risk without the titty chopery.
another is a man in his early 30s when it has all went down. we had many similar interests and aughtistic obsessions and also shared friends. he was a good friend to me and i get the sense he was also into me. then he started to be a he/they, then they/he, then she/they. when he was he/they i was like uh whatever, he's kinda autistic and more on the emotional side and being in a demonically liberal location will do that to you. then it progressed very rapidly, he started taking black market blockers and whatever horsepiss hormones he could get from eastern europe, and legit became psychotic. seeing things, hearing things, having "divine revelations" type full-on schizo. i think he has bought too much into continental philosophy especially the post modern type. he believed going insane and becoming anorexic (he calls it "fasting") from his substance-induced psychosis is actually hecking valid and spiritual and deconstructing and defying norms and all kinds of bullshit over-intellectualized cope you could imagine. now hes got a tranny gf, who i have to say is one of those who passes ok (if you are very drunk or high you might mistake the 6'2 twink as some very tall skinny woman in heels). this really pushed him all the way i think, out of all trannies I know, he is the only one who actually supports fucking tucking underwear for 5 year olds and putting kids on puberty blockers. i had to cut him completely out of my life and told him YWNBAW and his beliefs are creepy as fuck.
then there are the poor, traumatized, and lost hsts. I still have some shreds of symphathy for them. the ones i still know literally have the exact same back stories, early sexual trauma, very adverse childhood experiences, homosexuals, and generally the ones adjacent to the paradigm of "one of the good ones." Many of them were just super feminine and didnt care about pronouns, until the past 2 years. i guess these were the old school type of tranny, the ones people from the 70s would know about. many werent even on hormones before recently, and more had plastique surgery/procedures to look more feminine before pronouns/hormones. very little of them can actually pin point what taking hormones are doing for them, for they usually already had impants and fillers, and it has just been making them super sick and lose all sex drive. which pushes them further into drugs and alcohol. i guess they are somehow similar to the first type, being simply traumatized and mentally deficient, but at least they are not likely at all to have their own kids or has amputated any healthy organs.
