I agree that many people here, maybe even most, believe that some trans are legitimate, but there’s a large percent of very active and vocal people that don’t believe any trans person is legit. I would say that the radical feminist philosophy doesn’t think any trans person is legit because they think all trans stuff, even the most severe, is based on sexist stereotypes. That it doesn’t matter how many hormones you take or whether you’ve flipped your penis inside out or not, or how severe your dysphoria is, you are still a man and blah blah blah. I understand their point of view, I just don’t agree with it. So even if a large percentage of people on this site don’t align stringently to that viewpoint, that viewpoint is still the cornerstone of this site and the most active posters and the people who run the site adhere to it.

I also agree that GC is the lesser or two evils. If I didn’t think that I wouldn’t continue coming here.

Interesting. I have not looked at that community in-depth in a long time, so I have not noticed trends like that. But that is a big difference. I hope people don't "throw the baby out with the bathwater" in rejecting trans activist ideology-- it sucks that a vulnerable minority group, actual trans people, is getting taken over by political ideologues and bored kids.

Very true, sorry to be redundant haha. I am preaching to the choir.

Glad you are here :)
