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.

So they're a cis lesbian when they need to validate their trans overlords, but nonbinary and maybe bi else where? That's convenient.

TRA's go on and on about cisnormativity, sexuality is fluid etc etc, but when it comes to validation the cis homosexuals are suddenly very valuable to them. It's always' I'm a cis gay man/lesbian and I support trans people blah blah', I can't remember seeing a post like this by a pansexual nb femme.
