I honestly think TRA's are far less organised and self-aware than many on here believe. There is a conspiracy theory that all extreme TRA's are trying to erase gay, lesbian and bisexual people as some kind of planned, organised endgame. That gives them far too much credit! In the vast majority of cases, I believe extreme TRA's start off being well-intentioned, but are then brainwashed into an ideology that inclusiveness and validation is more important than anything in the LGBT community. They don't realise the effects of their ideology, and they think they are the good guys, the tolerant and virtuous ones defending transgender people. It's like a religion, they are just sheep following an ideology that got out of hand.

Oh you sweet summer child. None of this would be happening if they weren't organized.

There's gotta be a strong distinction here between the money (older transwomen in tech and politics and their allies) and the masses (teenagers identifying as stargender on tumblr dot com)

Yep, the children, strongly encouraged to go the whole 9 yards, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, major surgeries that remove healthy tissue vs. the adults who can simply announce their new "gender" & maybe dress up and/or wear make up.

Look at these poor kids, see we were born this way! It's so damn cynical.
