This is the stuff I am talking about These are REAL ACTUAL HUMANS not your fun little blorbos or fictional characters in your stories It is gross and weird on both a "This dude has said he is cis and straight, fucking listen to him" level and also a writing fanfic about Actual People level Stop!

Yeah, the accept people’s truths and presented identity applies to cis people too. It’s just policing their presentation otherwise “oh this man has displayed the capacity of the same emotional range as a woman, therefore he must be trans because otherwise men shouldn’t be like that”

I sincerely apologize for my post on this, it was intended less seriously than it came across, was in poor taste and was clearly not appropriate for this medium. I've deleted it and I am sorry.

me defending finnster's self-identity 2 years and 1 year ago against other transfemmes' need to categorize him in a binary way, in multiple trans discords... them feeling vindicated once he revealed he'd been doing HRT, Y'ALL ARE MISSING THE POINT of RESPECT, you are trans, how is this reality??

Also, I don't know a single trans person who was like "I will just add an 'a' to the end of my name and that is my new name"

Feels very similar to the 'Two close men? Must be secret queer romance! Ship time!' and 'Men are so insecure, they think any intimacy with another man will look queer!' dyad to me. People reifying stilted, essentialist norms, while identifying as the progressive edge.

This reminds me of the wild times people would pull this sort of thing with the McElroys and ooooof. Someone missed the day at school when the teacher said "don't be a fucking creepo."

lmao the same account was lamenting being on block lists the other day for defending someone online “without having all the info” so I think parasociality might just be default mode
