I used to really not care about troons. I've never really had a problem with gay people/friends. Most if not all gay or bisexual people have actually been super nice to me and over all a pleasure to be around. Sure you may have the bit of a slip where they aren't in the best place mentally, but ultimately from my experience they haven't used it as an excuse or projected it on me.
Troons on the other hand a completely different ball game. From my experience it's always always been about them and they could give a rats ass about anyone else. At the slightest pin drop that you disagree with them or counter their logic in any way shape or form, you're branded a Nazi/Alt-Right/CHUD/etc. It's really fucking annoying and over the years my indifference with trannies has slowly moved from dislike, to now unbearable distain and disgust.
Don't get me wrong, once in a blue moon there will be a troon that has the ability to act decent in public, but usually 9/10 they have baggage behind closed doors that makes it insufferable or impossible to form an actual relationship with them. Part of me feels bad for these people in a way, they're very seriously mentally ill and I feel like if they had gotten ACTUAL consoling from legit people the path they went on could've been prevented.
I don't think I could actually be friends with a troon. There's just something in my brain, and I'm sure most people can attest for this in the sense that there's just something about them that is unnatural. Whether you believe in a god or not, humans at the end of the day are animals, and we all have that reptilian brain that spits out an ERROR when we lock eyes with them. Something deep inside that just encourages us to stay away, and that these people are absolutely not good news to be in company with.
Why it's suddenly so popular, I still don't know what I can pin it too. You have young girls, middle school/high school level that jump on it as a trend, and that's more innocent because it's kinda like the new Emo/Scene/Goth/Punk whatever you wanna call it. Those types will grow up as they mature, unless they end up mutilating themselves first. My father's best friend's daughter ended up like that. Had the surgery and everything, looking into her eyes, there's just nothing there. Everyone knows that she'll probably kill herself in a few years.
On the other hand you have males who either see it as a fetish, something that evolved from a crossdressing fetish, or perhaps the notion that lonely males if they "transition" they may be able to increase their chances of getting laid (When in reality it has the complete opposite effect).
Regardless of the reason, it's an epidemic on society, and the media and powers that be that try to embrace it are only harming people further. They're harming average people who just want to be left alone, they're harming gay people who are perfectly decent and functioning in society, but most of all, they are harming the very people that they're raising on a pedestal.
