transitioning into a lesbian

transitioned into a gay man

This sounds super cringy and misleading.

Thoughts

I met all of those, and met mixes all of those, and met opposite of those.

You mean it is the types that are most vocal and which you met the most? Can mostly agree, but not completely. As all people are different. And putting labels and gender stereotypes is what they do, not us, LGB is opposite to making labels.

How is that misleading? That’s what they’re attempting to do. I’m stating what the group is so I can make my point.

And yes, read the first paragraph. “ (Obviously this is a generalization. Just a trend I’ve noticed. Focusing on people who are gay or straight, not bisexual, as I’ve found the bisexual trans people to be a mix of the groups.)”

How misleading or cringy?

Well, you can't "transition" into sexuality. If that was a possibility, then conversion therapy would work. And it doesn't.

And it is what older LGB people were affected by (and nowadays in some authoritarian countries like Iran or Russia), when society is trying to "convert" LGB person into a "straight" person.

Gee whiz, it’s almost like I’m a member of droptheT and not the biggest fan of trans ideology. It’s almost like I can state what a group is for the purposes of a list without agreeing with their beliefs. 🙄

Not sure what do you mean here, as I just wrote that this sounds very cringy and misleading, and it is. And I understand that you do not support this and just copying what TRA are saying, but that is not making copy of their words less cringy.

I think they mean to say that people who are transitioning decide to 'change' their sexuality dependent on the gender they now associate themselves with, even though that isn't very logical to begin with.

A man transitioning into a female will most of the time say that they are 'lesbian', which actually means they are straight since they are still a biological male.

Yes, I understand that, and that is why it is cringy. It is like those straight men who are dating transmen and saying they are gay, but don't want to do anything with actual men with penises. Gender theory new meanings to words are making everything so confusing and disgusting, nothing means anything anymore.

I don't actually know if this is what the other commenter meant, but I do think there is something to be said for refusing to use terminology by TRAs standards. E.g. "straight man transitioning to a lesbian"-- we all know here that that is ridiculous. But I like to be extra clear in my own writing and say something like "in TRA-speak, ..." or "straight man who thinks he is transitioning to a lesbian". Sometimes curious readers might find a forum and not know context and be confused. Also, it's kind of a small way of standing up against this nonsense. Just my 2cents.
