The way they go about their hate is so bizarre too. The other day I was watching a Graham Linehan video about the erasure of female only spaces and I commented that a lot of GC male spaces were still up on reddit (at the time, they've since been axed too). Some trans girl decided to comment "thanks for giving me another sub to report! that's nice of you." I didn't interact or engage because they feed on validation and being seen. But I was just like. Why are you here on a gender critical video for the sole purpose of trans crusading? There were no questions posed in good faith, no genuinely wanting to understand the GC viewpoint, only YAY ANOTHER TERF SUB I CAN GET BANNED REEE.

Most sane individuals don't go out of their way to get spaces banned just because they don't agree with the views expressed there. But this is why people are peaking all over the place. It's very reminiscent of radical Christians that tried to ban Harry Potter books when they first came out. For all of TRAs "we just want to pee" or "we just want to exist" or "we just want basic rights" they sure don't know how to live and let live.

Good for you! They’re energy vampires,narcissists, and emotionally stunted adults with a victim mentality that get an emotional high off of internet fights...

They really are. My kneejerk reaction was to say something like "Don't you have something better to do?" but I knew it would only turn into some back and forth nonsense where they're high off provoking a "terf" and I'm shaving years off my life by spiking my blood pressure for no reason. The thing they're afraid of the most and the thing that makes them the most angry is not being seen. So they're invisible to me when they try to pull that shit. Any rabid TRAs who try to get a rise out of me will be met with, dare I say it, a stone wall.

No. No, they don't, and that's exactly the point. As much as it pains me to watch their online crusading, I'm starting to realize just how much of their free time a lot of TRAs seem to spend online. It seems to be more than the average young adult/teen. How else can we explain their omnipresence on every single social media platform, when they are such a tiny portion of the people we encounter IRL? For a lot of these people, posting hate online, reporting content they don't like, and being a general annoyance to everyone else trying to share an online space is literally their only hobby.

...emotionally stunted adults with a victim mentality

This is so spot-on.

I had something similar happen on that same thread on r/reclassified. Proof. I made the mistake of engaging them, but it just really pissed me off. Someone else called me a TERF because I refused to take the post down. More proof. What do they gain by antagonizing and bullying us? I firmly believe in the right to speak freely, but god I wish they'd shut the fuck up and leave us alone. It is entirely their fault that we got banned from Reddit. They'll follow us to the ends of the earth until they destroy all wrongthink.

Btw, love your username!

That's so fucking annoying holy shit. Like really, why are you here if all you're going to do is announce how happy you are about getting another sub banned? I would understand if they came to the opposing side wishing to have a discussion or ask questions but very rarely are they interested in that.

My theory is that the majority of these types of trans people are narcissists with several other developmental disorders. Because most people can disagree with someone without feeling the need to silence them entirely. Again, I make the comparison to radical Christians because the screenshots you shared remind me of those people who feel like it's their job to tell anyone who doesn't share their beliefs how much of a sinning heathen they are. It's even got that condescending, sickly sweet tone to it as well. "Oh honey, bless your heart. God loves you but you're going to burn in hell :)"

And thanks! I saw it on twitter and I just had to haha.

They are probably a transbian, too..

It is very strange. My sister was on the detrans sub yesterday, which was briefly banned, probably because of TRAs reporting it en masse, and she was so discouraged seeing how many TRA stopped in to comment things to the effect of “well your community deserves it because it’s been infiltrated by TERFs!”, and “I’m hitting the report button right now!”

Over and over again. They can’t let other people just be. They go out of their way to shut down not just political or philosophical opponents, but to shut up neutral people who fail to sufficiently validate them enough. It’s what cluster B disorders look like when organized, mobilized, and supported by ignorant ally idiots intoxicated with “woke” fever and fervor.

Couldn't have said it better. It's honestly so sad and so scary what things have come to. Detrans is on thin ice. It always has been but even more now than ever. It makes me sad because it was the second community on reddit I really felt at home in.

Seriously. It's just Reddit. They act like they're the Spanish Inquisition on a moral crusade trying to drive all the remnants of Judaism and Islam from the Iberian peninsula.

I'm like . . . why don't you get a useful hobby instead of spending all day harassing people who don't agree with you?

Well when their entire identity is based on a fetish and/or a collection of stereotypes it's no wonder so many of them are too one dimensional for a hobby

This. They love destroying things. If women/lesbians have a space or community just for them, they must tear it down. They could build their own alongside it, but no. Their deep hatred of women/lesbians can't let it exist.

becasue banning works for them... It was in that terf article someone posted in another thread, all that canceling works for them.
