This thread has really made me second guess my opinion on trans individuals. I still don't care about the segment that just goes about their lives feeling content after transitioning and isn't bothering anyone, but my goodness the perpetually online constantly whining make the whole group look terrible. It's especially awful to hear about how terrible it is for lesbians dealing with mtf and also the plague that is the erasure of tomboy identity. Also, the weirdly high level of predators and creeps that seem to crop up in the community are really making me believe in the incel to trans pipeline that's been mentioned. They have that same creepy level of misplaced entitlement and awful personalities that incels always seem to have. It's especially fucked since that aura makes most women steer clear and most people would understand, but just because the person claims to be trans suddenly it's not okay for women to rely on their instincts.
The ones online seem obsessed with acting like a "proper women" and seem to root liking traditionally girly things as secretly meaning they are a transwoman, even if a bunch of them entirely miss the mark actually acting like one. I have no idea how they can champion things like "reject gender norms!!!" while also having the most strict views on what a man or woman can/can't like.
