All the people doing well at my age(30) who are stable, successful, and well humble too have nothing to do with trans activism or gender politics. Like zero mention in social media or acknowledgment irl which is so refreshing.

I don’t think I know anyone who is a genderspecial who isn’t also a failure-to-launch; like, in many old HS and college mates I’ve followed over the years there is a clear divide between who is obviously happy and who is obviously still mad taking AP classes and shaving their head to “rebel” against gender norms didn’t mean happiness, love, acceptance, and success would be handed to them on a plate.

But gender politics really do attract the bottom barrel-people who have really low self esteem, weight issues, toxic attitudes and excuses for not getting out of their first entry level job or their shitty hometown.

Like theyre 30 and posting about having pride in being depressed and how hard it is to be a genderspecial- yet theyre almost always living with parents or living off an equally unsuccessful partner posting about each other’s psychotic breaks and suicide attempts for internet attention...fuck, everyone deals with mental health shit-at our age you have to SEEK HELP and stop trying to glorify your criminally average and widespread mental health problems.

Being apathetic about debilitating weight gain or having low self esteem because you have no hobbies as an adult outside tumblr is an embarrassment. High school really never ends.
