I lurk on their forums and read what they have to say, and try to empathize and understand them…

Crazy me, i know…

But theres certain phrases that seem to pop up alot, and one of them is

“lately ive been thinking alot about…” (some stupid shit)

lately ive been thinking alot about how my new shoes match my favorite fingernail polish!

and you read that and are like, wtf?

Who tf has enough leisure time in their life to “think alot about” (unimportant things)?

They seem to be obsessed with being seen, and noticed,

But only seen in the way they want to be seen, (for example, as a woman)

Then if just one person doesn’t “affirm” their gender (presentation), they become violent.

I never say anything because i dont want to be banned

(The chilling effect of self censorship)

But the one-line zingers i could launch, would be fun.

Popular in trans forums: im not a trans woman, im a REAL woman!

Like, dude, real women don’t hang out in trans forums bragging about being real women
