Oh, lol I was a moderator on a rather... metropolitan server, lets say. Diverse. And I had the GALL to identify as cisgender. It was an adult server so I thought, yanno, junk is relevant. I was pretty popular there, loads of people liked me, liked my art. But dang I was wrong, lol. Someone I thought was a good friend stabbed me in the back and reported it to a more influential person, who was a raging sjw transwoman.
"YOU DARE SUGGEST THAT WE ARE NOT WOMEN REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
"YOUR IDEAS ARE KILLING PEOPLE"- I kid you not, this was said. XD
I was had up in the moderators chat and berated by about thirty of the fuckers, who all felt like the word cisgender was gonna come murder their whole families by the way they reacted. It was nasty.
So I was ousted from that community, two whole servers, and lost a ton of friends and my reputation was just reduced to shit. So for a while I fucking hated trans people. (I have a lot of trauma in my past, I have a lot of... odd reactions to things)

That's some bullshit though. I'm sorry you had to go through that. Mass hate like that has an entirely different feel to it than when you're getting it from one or two people.

2019-09-14 07:58:19 UTC  

Having a friend who is a transguy come back into my life, as well as watching Blaire, helped me heal because they're actually sensible people

2019-09-14 07:58:21 UTC  

Not too odd of a reaction just to take the direct opposite position. People can and will adopt pretty extreme positions merely out of self defense. Literal or metaphorical.

2019-09-14 07:58:56 UTC  

I guess. I felt rather silly for being so extreme and your comment is rather soothing tbh. Thank you

2019-09-14 08:01:37 UTC  

No worries. It's just how people work. That's why the whole hate engine that gets running is so dangerous. It encourages both sides to radicalize their position. Which does none of us any good.

2019-09-14 08:04:11 UTC  

mm, it's easy to mistake people for those who claim to represent them and pretend to be them.

2019-09-14 08:04:40 UTC  

it happens with a lot of mental illnesses too.

2019-09-14 08:05:16 UTC  

Indeed. I knew it was bad to be so extreme even at the time, it shocked me. Our society needs more community, desperately, but not these tribalised ones that exist currently. The alphabet soup crowd (lgbt+) exasperate me because there's just... no fucking effort for normalisation. They say they want to be accepted but their behaviour is just... dangerously alienating. It's like "I'm special, and different, and I'm going to stay that way". And we on the outside are expected to play pretend and go along with it?

2019-09-14 08:05:46 UTC  

lettuce, gherkins and burgers with tomatos?

2019-09-14 08:06:08 UTC  

Thats a thing, yeah, I was very aware that a lot of people were mentally ill from the group that witchhunted me

2019-09-14 08:06:15 UTC  

That sounds delicious sign me up

2019-09-14 08:06:26 UTC  

lol totally

2019-09-14 08:06:54 UTC  

well yea it's kind of important to remember these activists likely have mental health issues way beyond what they're presenting.

2019-09-14 08:07:12 UTC  

some psychologists would say their constant effort to highlight that one thing about themselves is likely an attempt to stop you seeing something else.

2019-09-14 08:08:10 UTC  

I hear ya. I was taken in by it most likely because I myself have mental and personality problems.. lol.

2019-09-14 08:08:28 UTC  

sounds about right

2019-09-14 08:08:39 UTC  

Part of the issue is they want both to be comepletely accepted and yet maintain the outside of normalcy position they hold. And you can't have both. You can't have gay marriage, social acceptance, etc etc. And maintain that you're apart from the consensus that achieves those ends. It's the whole issue of rebels needing the system they claim to be opponents of.

2019-09-14 08:09:02 UTC  

agreed

2019-09-14 08:09:08 UTC  

yin supports yang

2019-09-14 08:09:36 UTC  

Yeah

2019-09-14 08:09:53 UTC  

I think it's also because this generation has no healthy fringe subcultures

2019-09-14 08:10:10 UTC  

And yeah, there's unfortunately a lot of mental illness that complicates a lot of this. Especially for the trans community, for various reasons. It attracts a lot of people who are mentally ill and then dawn the mantle of trans as a way of representing that. Which hurts everyone involved.

2019-09-14 08:10:40 UTC  

I weep for the emo kids of today. There are a few. But I cant help but think, "I had a better time of that phase." fuck social media.

2019-09-14 08:10:42 UTC  

it's all rainbow house music or you're a gender dysphoric depressed alienspirit who believes sexes don't exist

2019-09-14 08:11:18 UTC  

I hated emo so much I actually saw that as the beginning of the sjw shit

2019-09-14 08:11:38 UTC  

I legitimately remember listening in to emo kids competing with who had the most mental health issues (that none of them actually had)

2019-09-14 08:11:55 UTC  

they LOVED the oppression and disadvantage narrative lol

2019-09-14 08:11:57 UTC  

When it morphed into scene kids subculture I saw it then.

2019-09-14 08:12:10 UTC  

The mental gymnastics started happening

2019-09-14 08:12:38 UTC  

it was just after numetal lol

2019-09-14 08:13:19 UTC  

that kind of era of emotional metal where people started glamourising trauma

2019-09-14 08:13:32 UTC  

And thus mental illness has been normalised in just the most wrong way possible

2019-09-14 08:13:33 UTC  

and everyone wanted a good trauma for their life narrative

2019-09-14 08:13:34 UTC  

Yeah, there was a lot of silly behaviors that came along with it. But then again, they're mostly kids. That's when you are supposed to do dumb shit and believe dumb things. You've not learned better. Hell, most the time the concept of the self, who you actually are, is a mystery at that age.

2019-09-14 08:13:59 UTC  

^

2019-09-14 08:14:22 UTC  

yea which is a result of soviet influence in american culture

2019-09-14 08:14:26 UTC  

imo

2019-09-14 08:14:52 UTC  

Care to explain that one better? I don't see it

2019-09-14 08:14:54 UTC  

back in the day, you respected and learned from your parents with a little bit of rebellion to throw yourself out into the world

2019-09-14 08:15:34 UTC  

then in the 40s-50s the soviets (actually had it in writing btw) that they would utilise America's freedom of speech and art to try and diminish the family
