How did you feel about troons before they became mainstream?

[Mojo Thief]

I used to feel bad for them. I went to college right before wokeism became mainstream, and while the college administration was predictably ultra-progressive and pushed LGBT shit hard on us, most people only really cared about the LGB and just kinda pitied the T. I saw the T as just folks who honestly had the brain in the wrong sex's body, and I knew a few trans folks through their transitions and they remained pleasant people.

Since then, the shit I've seen in person and especially this website made me realize that the pitiful dysphoric are a minority vastly outnumbered by socially maladjusted perverts with an authoritarian streak. It's honestly incredible how this tiny minority is almost single-handedly bringing police-state dystopia to the Western world.

I didn't hear much about troons back in the day because they weren't really a thing in my country but when I did, as a young teenager I kind of pittied them because I figured troonism couldn't be anything else than a result of severe mental illness/trauma or genetic disorders that make you fucked in the head. It somehow felt different and more "genuine" than other larping nuisances like people claiming to be animals or literal toddlers who sleep in a cot and shit their pants even though they're a 40yo fat, balding man.

I thought they needed psychiatric help and I was kind of weirded out when I saw that instead of actualy trying to help them, the general public allowed them to larp to their heart's content and suggesting checking their mental health was a big no-no.

When I started to notice that boring, personality-devoid trust fund babies were jumping from being gay for attention to being trans for attention, I knew exactly what was coming.

Thought they were either perverts, mentally-ill or both. Never particularly hated them or anything, though. Took a libertarian "live and let live" approach, more apathy than acceptance.

Now that it's become mainstream, I've actually met some IRL, and it's a 50/50 mix. Half are really sad, confused, naive, most likely just gay and effeminate men, and abused women with self-image issues, who are getting socially pressured into a self-inflicted meat-grinder thinking it'll make them happy.

The other half are exactly what you'd expect: Loud, angry, terminally online, overly politicized MtFs who only wants to fuck cis women and femboys/other MtFs, and have no plans of actually getting rid of their dick. These are the ones who actually do all the grooming, and it couldn't be more obvious that they're hedonistic BPD narcissists who are doing so for their own sexual gratification. Very much clearly on some kind of downward spiral in life (some self-aware, others not) and are just taking other people with them.

The first half break my heart, and I feel like are some of the biggest victims of clown world. The other half is the closest I've gotten to actually snapping at someone IRL about something (allegedly) political, because they're obviously just predators.

I've always hated their guts and saw them as disgusting, mutilated freaks. As far as I'm concerned if they all suddenly died from a disease the world would be better off without them.

All the past few years has shown me was that I was right and their enablers deserve to die as much as the troons.

Go ahead and rate me mad at the internet, but I truly do hate them and the piece of shit politicians who use them as a distraction.

TTD!

 

[im5!XxhO]

Until like two years ago the only knowledge I had of people chopping their dicks of was that gay cop cannibal in the 1990s and eunuchs. Before it become mainstream I never really thought about troons at all.

 

[AgendaPoster]

No changes for me.
They were a participant in the sexual deviancy/paraphilia category in the manuals of the time.
I reject modern DSMs and still consider the paraphilia categorization accurate.
I also want it to extend to just homosexuals. Why not. It used to be that way.

 

[Dynamite Bean]

At worst I thought they were just cringe and annoying but didn't care that much
now, I actively do not see them as human and pray for the next world dictator to rise and put every single one of them in gulags and would pay top dollar to get front row seats to a troon public execution
the constant push of troonism only made me more disgusted and research into what they are and now i fully understand I was vindicated in my feelings at first and won't change them

 

[SirCliveSinclairdabbing]

I've met 2.

1, middle aged ex bloke who comes in and cleans where I work one day a week. Very knowledgeable about mechanical engineering/fluid dynamics and the classical bag of spanners for a face. Body like a rugby player.
2, young teenage ex lad at a fast food drive through. Twink.

1, has had his chance at a family life and that's fair he's hurting no-one, every adult can make their choice.
2, has been robbed of a potential family life and tricked into permanent self mutilation.

 

[Lone Outsider]

To be honest, I was a actually accepting of trannies for a while at the start and I was a fan of Blaire White. But at time went on and I saw both fucked up it was becoming a troon and the harm they did to women and children I got sick of that real quick. Add to that race hustlers who claim to be another race and I become disillusioned and disgusted with those fuckers. Sometimes giving sick jackasses a fair shake and a chance is a good thing because it removes all ambiguity about their characters as a collective and exposes them as fuckers that should have remained hated and ostracized until the end of time.

Anyone that is a troon or a race troon is a fucking cancer because they are not honest or sane people in any way, shape or form.

 

[Safir]

I remember how happy I was when I got to wear "cool" clothes (jeans and a denim jacket) as a girl. This led me to think it was plausible there could be "normal" troons, men who would feel just as happy in women's clothes, but, being men, can't wear it because men in women's clothes look gross, and therefore need surgery to look more normal. I didn't think of pooners at all, if they'd been brought to my attention I'd have thought it the most retarded idea ever because women can wear "men's" clothes just fine.

As for the gross troons on tv -- why, they were and are no worse than gross whores, fags, and assorted coomers. Troons are priests of The Coom, the power they appear to wield is The Coom mowing down decency, troons are just officiating. It's not them who are to blame.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

Utterly confused and disgusted but mostly unconcerned until I noticed them making headway in societal acceptance, attaining political power, and indoctrinating minors.

Then I began to hate them.

 

[Radion_Godiva]

I was really pro troon, but in my defense troons were a lot of fun in the 90's and 00's.

 

[Bone Santa]

Saw a hon running a printer shop around 2002. Didn't think much of it other than "huh, it takes all sorts I guess". In general I had the same attitude to them I had for gays, being what consenting adults do in the bedroom is none of my concern.

Little did I know it would evolve into a global cult movement with the explicit purpose of molesting kids. I'm sure there are a few non-groomer transsexuals, born in the wrong body types, but they are by far the minority.

 

[Seethecoper]

Only knew of them through their use as the butt of jokes in comedy movies and TV (Bender trooning out in Futurama to win fembot Olympics, that episode of the Simpsons where Bartman throws trooned Lenny into power lines, etc). Thought they were just a joke until my mom's gay hairstylist trooned out one night when they went to the club together with some friends. He came over for dinner one night and when I greeted him and hesitated on his name he said "just call me Shielah" or something and I did out of politeness. He "found God" a year or 2 later and went back to being gay lmao. He's still a family friend and is pretty successful as a hair stylist in my hometown

 

[Dylan]

Always disliked them, if not hated them with passion, their existence is offensive, their lifestyle is beyond obscene, their paraphilias are dangerous, and it spreads like virus.
I wish them to come to the end of their transition fast.(that means suicide)

 

[mongrel]

They used to be called crossdressers.

Used to be a bloke in his 30s drank in my local, joiner I think? Every now and again he'd just turn up in makeup and a dress looking like fucking Eddie Izzard. He got odd looks but live and let live I guess.

 

[Takayuki Yagami]

didnt think of them much before they became mainstream. when they very first became mainstream i actually defended them, back in my much more naive days. i legit bought into the possibility that the whole "woman born in a man's body" might actually be real. god, im such a retard, no kidding.

The closest I remember getting to troon shit before they forced themselves on everyone was arguing with some Irish whackjob in Chloe Sagal’s thread about how Sagal’s claim of being Romani was stupid.

 

[AnsemSoD1]

I saw an episode of The Pokemon Anime when I was younger where James wore a fake pair of tits to win a swimsuit competition, basically Bender's strat from that one Futurama episode.

 

[Linako 2.0]

As I kid I only knew trannies as the mentally unstable bums that belong in the Psychward, looking back many of the people who I disliked online were trannies and still follow that impression I got as a kid.

I used to think they looked funny in dresses but I wished them the best.
Now I think they still look funny in dresses but I still wish them the best.
