It felt more rooted in extreme individualism than anything.
There's a horseshoe going on with the whole individualism vs collectivism thing.
Healthy individualism is recognizing that other people are individuals too, separate from yourself, with rights like yours. That the right to swing your fist ends where another person's nose begins.
Healthy collectivism is recognizing that while private property is an inherently good thing, and being a moral busybody isn't a good thing, one must also remember that even "victimless crimes" or vices can negatively affect those closest to you, so sometimes not even the "non-aggression principle" is sufficient. You still have an obligation to contribute to your society.
Extreme individualism can wrap back around to collectivism: Narcissism is extreme individualism, and one of the symptoms of clinical narcissism is a tendency to see everyone else as extensions of yourself, and a tendency to get violently angry when others refuse to act as such. Which of course, is a collectivist pattern of thought.
So it would make sense why collectivist or authoritarian ideologies would appeal to self-proclaimed individualists or "anarchists."
What's sad is that if the people who actually have gender dysphoria kicked out the special gendered snowflakes who identified as anything, but male or female then there probably wouldn't be so much confusion, and people might of understood trans better.Honestly whether it was because they were desperate to increase their numbers or ironically the trans community themselves got hijacked by gender special teens, they made things more confusing to the point where like Drongo said, no one can define what trans is.
No, you shouldn't feel bad about it.
It's good that idiotic teenagers are discrediting transgenderism. There's nothing legitimate about it. Gender dysphoria needs to be cured, not affirmed by society. Even "real" trannies are mentally ill morons who chase after impossible fantasies.
