    They do this there a lot, and it just makes me sad for them because it indicates a complete detachment from real life trans community.

    Like, if you’re moving within the community irl, you’re gonna meet a lot trans people who will fall into all kinds of buckets. Radlibs with extra padding on all the edges, toocute girl who’s going to tell you about juche, prepper libertarian-coded people, self-loathers who closed their tttt tab before leaving the house, crusty polycule commune folks, tonnnns of people 196ers would call “tankies”, and so on and so on.

    I don’t like the blahaj vibe, but I understand who in my community hangs out there. Any poster who can’t even conceptualize who is posting here on hexbear, and have to propose that it’s all fake, just doesn’t have contact with any real life community. I think you’d have to be cut off entirely, except for some insular online spaces. Which it’s more sad than anything else.

      It’s true. I’m aware of lots of trans people I dislike, who have bad opinions. Still trans though.

      Blair White is a great example lol. Sometimes the conditioning of society sticks on, unfortunately.
