I actually looked for my post on the BP equivalent of this thread, lol. The peak trans one, if anyone is interested. This thread hasn't shown up before as I browsed the site, and it's been a year or two.
I've never particularly cared what other people do, I've gotten along with people even if I don't particularly agree with their life choices as long as they're fine with me not concealing my beliefs and I kind of had planned on living my life this whole way. I had this one trans acquaintance some years ago who I thought was smart and interesting, so despite my belief that bolt-ons and flayed penis to cure gender dysphoria makes about as much sense as lipo for anorexia, I thought we were cool and I was happy to carry on discussions once in a while. They ended up not feeling that way after some time, and our association ended. I was quite sad about it at the time.
It’s really not a huge peak trans moment, but it made me reconsider my stance about friendships with people who are morally incompatible with me, and it led me to notice more and more often how people who think like me about trans issues are the ones expected to not only censor ourselves if not change our beliefs to make others more comfortable, but we apparently also can’t even say this shit on our own platforms that we create. I’m not okay with that, so I just now don't form associations with people whose intrinsic qualities I find distasteful because it isn't fair to either them or me and because I think that specifically trans activism is in and of itself harmful. I've also noticed that I get more uptight every year so I don't think I could replicate this sort of friendship anymore even if I tried.
FWIW, since I've written this, I have indeed gotten a bit more uptight, and this specific person has been alienating more and more normal people, and I'm not even either young or old-old yet so our mutual acquaintances aren't exactly chuds. Troons really are digging their own graves. I hope I get to see the tides turn.
