Tell me you're a lesbian without telling me you're a lesbian.

I'm interested that she thinks she was "born into" a community (presumably the gay one.)

Why is it always afabs? Genuine question. Is because we are taught that being a girl sucks?

They haven't peaked yet, but I think they may be becoming a bit more aware.

Ooh, they are so close to getting it.

Part of it is because they push cis which implies that a "cis woman" identifies with all the societal bullshit pushed on women. So these women don't identify with it, because most women don't. But instead of realizing that the whole thing is bullshit, they think it's right and try to opt out of it by identifying as non-binary.

"Welcome the the club" indeed.

I don't necessarily agree with all transmed/truscum beliefs, but they are the sane ones of the TQ+, and I do wish they were allowed a voice. Despite the colonization over the past years, they're the closest we have to the true transsexuals who were once a part of us. They can at least represent the trans community and their unique needs, and understand that T and LGB are different. If they could actually be allowed to represent the trans community, I feel like it would severely cut down on tucutes/trenders, as well as detrans. And they would allow actual legitimate medical and scientific research into dysphoria and what should be done about it, instead of just hug-boxing every identity.

They're not sane though. From another of OP's threads:

I'm 15. And 15 year old males are called boys. So by definition, I'm a boy, even though I'm transgender, because I'm still male.

And another from where she feels personal discomfort calling women and girls around her 'she':

But it’s like every time I go to call her “she” to her face, I stutter a little bit. Same with my mom, my grandmas, etc. It’s like my brain can’t really grasp that they feel perfectly fine being called she and it doesn’t cause them any discomfort. Has anyone else dealt with this? I hope I’m not going crazy from being in the closet so long lol

Truscums are just as deluded, just a different flavor of deluded from trucutes. If truscums are the ones representing the trans community then we'll get people who insist on brain sex, innately gendered behaviors, and perpetuation of internalized homophobia for young LGB kids.

Yeah truscum are huge believers in brainsex.

Not just allowed a voice; They are so heavily outnumbered that they will have to be actively and specifically selected out of the T to be platformed above others. Otherwise, no chance. Because they also quieter, tend to keep to themselves more and so not naturally going to be grabbing anyone's attention.
