They really are. If they'd stopped when so many of us agreed to call them the pronouns they prefer and supported them in transitioning medically as adults they'd be sitting pretty right now.

Instead they've created a situation in which people are so scared to be labeled a "TERF" that those people are silent while angrily stewing in what they actually know to be true, and kids who will later sue the shit out of their "gender-affirming" doctors are victims of what everyone will soon recognize as psychotic medical malpractice.

The people who think this insanity will last forever are wrong. It won't. But the fact that it won't is based on something really sad: it won't last forever because they are harming as many people as possible, as viciously as possible. They're creating so much suffering, much of it permanent, that they'll be absolutely fucked when this is over. And they deserve that. But in the meantime they're ruining lives. The ruined lives and TRAs' ultimate ruination are inextricably linked.

I honestly think that even if they got everything they are currently fighting for they would change tack and still be screaming for something else. It can only end in the annihilation of the modern transgender movement. As an ideology it feeds on chaos and drama so if they win and are given all they want there will be a drama vacuum and they will cease to exist.

What's really sad is there are reasonable trans people that aren't trying to overstep their boundaries -- usually older people that call themselves "transsexual", think Buck Angel, Blaire White etc. But they are ostracized by their own, ask any of the "non binary girldick having biological female bisexual demiromantic lesbian" anime avatar uwus and they'll tell you that the reasonable transsexuals are "cis bootlickers" and "internalized transphobia". The face of the movement at this point is an anime girl avatar shouting "terfs suck my girldick or die a bloody death" and the more people that are exposed to that behavior the more people will peak. LGBT acceptance has gone DOWN for the first time in over a decade and it's all the fault of those clowns.
