Imagine if people radically loved themselves enough to dress and act however they like without getting surgery to feel valid.

The bleak truth is a lot of twenty-somethings and teens are going to end up unable to orgasm or have normal sexual relations with themselves let alone anyone else.

But it’s ok the TRAs will just assure them they’ve been asexual their whole lives and should just enter sexless relationships with other trans and non-binary people just because they will “accept” them and that’s all they can hope to get in life.

I’m already seeing this happen irl. You think the celebrity trans have a hard time getting dates with the cis people they desire? For normal trans people it’s even more hopeless.

Because loving yourself, having confidence, and working on your self all go against TRA groupthink. You can only connect with others though pain, despair, and trauma bonding. Everyone is a victim. Then they wonder why their community is so toxic.

This is so damn accurate. It speaks, too, to the mental illness that is so prevalent among this subgroup and that is going almost entirely untreated. It's no exaggeration to say that this is how they relate to people.

And the fact that not loving yourself, not having confidence, and choosing elective & unnecessary medicalization aren't exactly the most attractive characteristics in the first place.

Isn't the #1 rule of trying to make yourself more attractive: "Have confidence"?

I've personally found it's true. Someone objectively very physically attractive but with clear personality issues will be far less attractive to me than someone with objectively normal or even "ugly" physical traits but who displays lots of confidence, a great personality, a sense of humor, etc.

They really are digging their own social life graves and it's deeply sad to watch it happen.
