I don’t really understand why people hate so much on transsexuality these days. Calling them a ‘scourge’ and 'mentally ill". What BS. Trans people are not hurting anyone. They just want to be their true self.
One of the arguments often used (also here) is that they are trying to force other people to be trans (in this case the poster says “they think everyone should get puberty blockers”). Which is complete BS, I have never met a trans person that wanted everyone else to be trans too.
It seems to be a big pet peeve of the extreme-right these days. I just don’t understand why.
They thrive of hating the weaker groups in society. If you want some morbid fun, try asking one of those what they should do with trans people if the had the power…
If they had to get mad at reality, there’d be a lot less to be mad about. Being mad about made-up BS is a way for them to have their cake and eat it too. It’s boogeymen all the way down.
Those in power hate losing control. That’s why bodily autonomy, sexual freedom, critical thinking, accurate history, and religious diversity are all their go-to boogymen.
Trans folk are just one of the more recent groups to be targeted.
I’ve known four out trans people. One was a piece of shit. The other three turned out to be amazing and empathetic people who all made my life better just by knowing them.
It turns out, when you deal with people being entitled jerks to you all day, that tends to make you a better person. Forged in fire and all that.

They want everyone to be cis, so obviously everyone else wants people to be in their groups too!
