Isn't it funny how the trans community always turns on their own? It's like there's something inherently wrong and disturbing about acting like this that pushes people away on an instinctual level, but they can't say the obvious reason so they have to make something else up.

I think that it’s more cynical than that. I think they all know that they’re playacting, and that they also know that they’re getting away with an awful lot of shit at the moment because they’re the flavour of the day amongst progressives (a fickle bunch who will switch causes according to fashion and social pressure) and that anything that risks turning the normies against them risks causing them to lose their privileges.

The worst thing for them would be for people to “wake up” to how insane their demands and behaviour are, and stuff like a hyper-camp man clowning about claiming to be a little girl are dangerous to their position in society.

The thing is, only a tiny, tiny percentage have surgery of any kind and even hormones are not particularly common, so once the social privileges disappear the vast majority of those claiming some trans identity will melt away and act like nothing happened - no doubt taking on the next social media, social justice fad - whatever it might be (I suspect incest or zoophilia).

The most narcissistic of them will likely notice that detransitioners are getting positive attention and start publicly detransitioning. Pretending that they were victims of what they are currently championing.

That’s an excellent point and not one that had crossed my mind, but you’re right and a big name destransitioner could potentially cause the whole thing to fall apart and begin a new trend of ex-trans vying for attention based on their victimhood. I suspect the reason Oli London didn’t precipitate such an even is because everyone already thought he was mentally ill before he started gender transition, what with his psychotic obsession with that South Korean pop star and the lengths he went to surgically before he decided he was all I’m a lady.

I suppose this is why we should be extremely diligent in keeping all the receipts, so that they don’t get away with acting like the aggrieved party when their circus tent of lies collapses on them.

Well, also because in retrospect it was clear London was only trans to take the piss out of people because of it- first it was saying he was trans-Korean and "If someone can be transgender, I can be trans-Korean", then "oh, really? Then I'm transgender", then "Oh, no I'm not."

I think as narcissists each individual trans person thinks THEY are passing, or radical, or whatever they do is the best, and everyone else around them who might act similarly or identify similarly is just a faker.

That explains the mentality behind why so many still go through pointless useless procedures for dead end results. Each and every one of them thinks they're different and something special will happen to them which hasn't to anyone else.

So when a broad, stereotypical caricature of a creepy man pretending to be a woman gets famous, a lot of other men who highly resemble him take offense, and distance themselves.

That's what cults do if you don't toe the line and walk on egg shells around them. One fuck up and you're out.

No, it's actually completely reasonable, and their main problem is that they very rarely do it. The usual reaction is closing their ranks behind the insane member of their demographics and shielding them from any criticism. If they're fed up with one of themselves, it's a huge step forward.
