You mean r/transSubreddit#99999?

I'm kind of bothered by how stereotypical it is, though. Like the muscle-arm image and "bro BRO BRO". You can't make someone a man by invoking a bunch of gender stereotypes.

I think this puzzles me most about the transgender rights movement, actually. They say that gender is innate and an inner feeling. So why on earth do they look to outside validation? If it truly comes from within, then no amount of external validation in the world will make you accept yourself. It is like me saying, "I need everyone to tell me lots of nice things about myself and then it'll be easy for me to feel validated." When really, it is going to be hard no matter what for someone to accept themself.

Forcing others to use your preferred pronouns.. if gender identity was really "innate" and independent of cultural influence, then why would people using your preferred pronouns make a difference?

edit: Also, to be fair, straight non-trans males calling each other "bro" doesn't make them any more of a man, either, lol.

A lot of their movement can be boiled down to "find me attractive".

It's really that simple in a majority of the cases. For sure there's people talking about housing rights or some shit but a vast amount of the trans agitation is about outward appearances.
