ColonizationABG: Always Be Grifting

submitted by JulienMayfair from self.LGBDropTheT

I popped onto the website this morning of my former gay male group that's been totally colonized by the TQ+ by now. It's always interesting to see the new depths to which they will sink. For today's episode of "I couldn't make this shit up," we have a post announcing a talent show for Trans Day of Remembrance. It got this response:

"Are u gonna be able to compensate the girls? Trans woman shouldn’t be performing for free on this day."

It's a talent show. Who has ever gotten paid for a talent show?

In all the work I did for gay activism years ago, did I ever ask to be paid? No.

These people have no shame.

Ah yes, the neverending grifting. Julien, you should check out #TransCrowdFund (or similar) on Twitter. There are people on there all. the. fucking. time, begging for money for months on end, on every available platform. You'll see all the buzzwords: disabled (though they rarely specify their exact disability), autistic (self-diagnosed), escaping an abusive home (their parents won't let them sit at home and play video games all day and refuse to call him Tiffany), a "system" or "plural" (multiple personality disorder, self-diagnosed), you get the picture.

I'm so sorry your website was destroyed. Just remember that each infiltration leads to more people peaking. I know that's not much comfort, but it's something.

So multiple personality disorder is having a renaissance, I see...

MPD is now called Dissociative Identity Disorder. If it exists, it is said to be caused by severe childhood trauma. However, there's now tons of the fakers going, "You don't have to have experienced trauma to have DID!" Reminds me a lot of the "You don't have to have dysphoria to be trans!" crowd. If you like cringe internet drama, tourettes (especially the swearing one, of course) seems to be "contagious" right now.

They'll claim absolutely anything to avoid a) working for a living; and b) being perceived as the awful, dreaded "neurotypical". They MUST be quirky! and special! and sparkly!, you see. Not like us mere mortals. This is as much a fetish for them as the gender bullshit.

being perceived as the awful, dreaded "neurotypical".

It's like this for all of them.

"Normal" is bad. Everything else flows from this. Cishet = bad, be LGBTPQUDJFKDKJSD+, just make up some xenogender or aromantic-noncommital-poly-bi bullshit if you're not actually gay. White = bad, be some form of "POC". Neurotypical = bad, self-diagnose some sympathy-inducing mental illness (or 5). You can see the pattern. They must be "special" in some way even if that is something which is actively harmful to themselves and society at large.

In the quest for uniqueness, they end up pining for any abnormality. Because it's trendy now. It's pretty characteristic of one not at all used to being singled out for being different.

Stuff like this is what makes me think part of transitioning is the entitlements they assume will come along with it.

[–]wafflegaffWoman. SuperBi. 12 insightful - 1 fun12 insightful - 0 fun13 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

They certainly assume that entitlement to other people's bodies comes along with it. So yeah, why stop there?

[–]DimDroog 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Yeahbut, it's mainly online that they get this right?

I cannot imagine this translating very well in the meat world, unless it's in some woke hellhole

It's probably mostly online, at least I hope.

What are the trans men getting out of this?

Transmen are women, they don't get anything, of course

Yeah that demand requires a truly ridiculous level of self-unawareness.

I want to laugh, but it's tragic. I seriously hate these people.

They didn't do SHIT when gay men were dying of AIDS.

They're fricking perverts, grifters with a peppering of pedophiles.

That's one of the cult mantras seen constantly on social media. Somehow being trans means you deserve to get paid it seems
