    Tbh I've seen some bad shit in real life too but as you said, these people are ... something else, to say the least.

    I absolutely agree with you, it really makes you wonder why these people identify out of their gender/sex (not talking about people who really do experience severe dysphoria tho). What are they trying to escape from? Are they trying to escape from themselves? Are they trying to literally become someone else?

    It's obviously not the same thing as identifying as literally the opposite sex but I find it sad that the general public doesn't seem to question why some young people want to identify as anything else but men or women. Some of them obviously just wanna be interesting but I'm afraid that others may just want to find a way to escape from themselves for different reasons and unfortunately, the LGBT community is almost encouraging this self-hatred. New gender-identities like non-binary etc have nothing to do with us and if anything, the LGBT community is NOT helping these people.

    I feel like now the LGBT community has become the perfect place for people who might feel alienated from their peers or different from the norm, who don't have friends and would do anything to be a part of a community. That's we have so many frankly unecessary, irrelevant and useless labels, it's because some people just want to find a community even if it's not meant for people like themselves.

    And then of course, I could also talk about the fact that most transgender people now are FTM which certainly is not a coincidence.

    I don't know how or when this madness will stop but hopefully all the damages done will be fixed. I can't wait for some celebrity or some band to bring the androgyny from the 80's back. I know this will happen, history always repeats itself!
