Minor angry side rant. If half of LGBTQ-identified people 18-34 (I know, this is one data source) are claiming to be some nonbinary bullshit gender like "agender" and whatever-- how many fucking "LGBTQ" people applied to scholarships and stuff on the basis of being "trans", and weren't?? Y'all people fucking suck, all the people who choose to do this. Their Tumblr cliques have real consequences. Children's bodies are being reshaped and damaged because of this insane ideology. I'm just so pissed.

Making a tattoo, wearing bright colors and dyeing your hair is now counted as "being LGBTQ+", so most likely half of people in survey were just "i am special" straight non-dysphoric people.

Not sure if I was banned, but my comments were removed from a French sub because a girl was asking "how do nonbinary pronouns work in this gendered language?"

The meat of my comment was off-topic (and I don't blame the mods for removing it) but I still felt it was something she needed to hear as an impressionable teenager.


Outside of social media, the vast majority of people either don't know or don't care about the whole trans movement. It's easy to understand why -- most 'come out' as teenagers, and adults know just how unstable and impressionable teenagers are. It's assumed to just be a phase because we all remember just how confused we were from hormones.

Teenagers want to be special, accepted, unique, etc... and after a few months on Tumblr they learned that these uncertain feelings they have (read: puberty, hormones) can be used as 'evidence' that they're part of an accepting group: the lbgtq+ community.

Looking from the outside, many parts like the trans and "egg" community feel just like child grooming with their behavior, targeting impressionable teenagers and hammering in their beliefs.

I'm not saying "nobody can be trans" because they certainly exist, but there's strong evidence that a very small minority are essentially brainwashing teenagers to boost their numbers to feel more valid / push their agenda to mainstream
