>>120041525You are victims of abuse and manipulation, doesn't the extremely high suicide rate terrify you? Don't you think there's something that's not right when a common reaction to being 'misgendered' is an overwhelming sense of despair and self-hatred? Don't you think it's suspicious that ROGD is dramatically overrepresented in people on the autistic spectrum, ergo people who struggle socially, usually coming with various other mental problems, big and small?
Do you seriously think that all of this stems from persecution?
I never voted for Trump, I never hated you (or gays, or effeminate men, or butch women), and I'm not terrified of you, I'm terrified FOR you, and I'm terrified for trans friends who I can only watch spiral into more despair and neurosis, and I'm not supposed to speak up.
There's this big song and dance about how all of this is good, and everyone is just supposed to ignore the suffering and looming disaster of countless thousands of young men and women, who'll have their lives ruined because they were told none of this is irrational, that none of this is dangerous, that they aren't just who they are, but something they're not, that they should harm themselves with hormone blockers and surgery, and fixate on things like 'passing' and being beautiful, as if being recognized as what you want to be by society is some sort of innate human right, as if being some ugly motherfucker isn't just how things are for so many cis people.
Please, just think about it, just think about if it's worth the short term gratification, when it then fails to hold up over time and then make you miserable.
