Before people go bashing this person in the comments, I think this person might be a kid, and even if not, is likely at risk of being transed if they are not already. I just wanted to share because I think this example highlights several trends:

  • Trans people on reddit claiming to be a "cis" member of the opposite sex that they are (e.g. a man identifying as trans and then stating that he is a "biological woman" or a "cis woman" when he is a transwoman)

  • People in the "LGBTQ+" online communities repeatedly making anti-"TERF" posts, then mods removing any comments suggesting that people are attracted on the basis of biological sex and not gender identity (sex stereotypes), confusing their own community members.

  • Teenagers getting wrapped up in the online scare over "TERFs" and using TRA rhetoric in an attempt to fit in and be supportive of others.

  • Transing of children.

Most people who support transgender ideology are well-meaning, caring people, and it hurts my heart to see such people be sucked into a cult.

Lol, is that so? Cuz they don't seem to give a fuck about the rest of us. Not seeing the "caring" here. I hope the cult chews them up and spits them back out, which is no worse than what they've wished on me.

Fair point, "caring" is probably a little much for many people who believe in transgender ideology. But, I do think most people sucked into a cult, whether the trans cult are any other, are usually desperate and in need and get preyed on even as much as the people who their cult terrorizes. I'm not talking about the predatory adult men claiming to be women, I'm talking about kids who get pressured into calling themselves "nonbinary" at school. They are perpetrating a deeply homophobic and sexist ideology. But they are also victims, they're children who were sucked into this thing.

I hope the cult chews them up and spits them back out, which is no worse than what they've wished on me.

Hope you're doing well, this stuff is frustrating as hell.
