GC Social MediaHow many times are we going to have to see this?
Edit: This post is NOT about whether or not we can clock trans people. It's about how every prominent detransitioner never misses the chance to take potshots at the very people who have working for years to try to help them and elevate their voices. It's shitty.
How many times will we have to see this? Tulip and Chloe Cole stirring the shit. A few months ago it was Helena.
Detrans people are generally not in line with feminism or GC thought. Don't forget there is a reason they transitioned in the first place. We all know there are numerous comorbidities associated with this including a high level of personality disorders.
The problem is not "gc people and detransitioners" imo. It's the twitter environment.
I recently made a new account just to be pure terfy meanness. GC and radfems are not the same, and with hundreds of thousands of people on twitter, you're going to get every breed. I've seen "GC people" try and make fun of a homely woman by calling her a man, I've seen those same people talk about hideous mutilated bodies of trans/detrans ppl.
Do they represent us? No. But will they be used to represent us by very sensitive people?? Big time yes. It's the whole "remember not all GCs are good" is because everyone tries to do the tribal shit. It's why radfems are already splintered off from "GC" because radical feminism isn't just about trans nonsense, and people began to fail purity tests set by the loudest voices. Oh you're not anti vax? Everyone come look at this dumb idiot. Oh you're not anti porn? Everyone come look at this misogynist.
That's not just GCs and radfems obviously, that's the entirety of cancel culture, but it just means that no matter what "internet sect" you belong to, there will always be people to complain that you aren't the realest version of said sect and that you should only listen to whomstever.
Sorry I compared porn and vaccines but I'd literally never run into anto vax stuff until I started adding "GC people" (read: not radfems) and saw just how wide the spectrum was for what GC now meant.
I have to disagree. I've seen this behavior, taking potshots at radfems, which they use interchangeably with GC, from prominent detransitioners over and over.
I think it's both. Social media is not a great environment. I don't like the algorithm bubbles and "amplify emotions"-phenomenon. At the same time I think it's becoming fairly obvious which personality types tend to go loudly trans (and then loudly de-trans at some point). These phenomena play into each other. I will even go so far as to state that without these social media algorithms (and porn), the loud trans thing wouldn't be happening at all.
(The narcissists and some self-haters would still exist and doing more traditional narcissist and self-hater stuff, while AGP might not be a thing at all).
There are certain people who need a belief system in order to function. The type you describe are often raised in Christian/ultra religious homes that may have been overly oppressive and forceful with gender roles. I see many trans believers also subscribe to hardcore atheism and/or satanism. I've even seen some describe themselves as "high priestess/priest" of whatever alternative shit they believe in. They hate and censor facts that go against their beliefs. They were never taught to digest facts that are incongruent with their world view; they lack critical thinking skills.
I'm fascinated by this facet of gender ideology.
I haven't seen many satanist or alternative people, I've mostly seen porn sick anime fans. Gamer dudebros. All the male ones I met personally was of this persuasion.
I have one friend who has considered going TIF, and she is a self-harmer (of which this would just be a facet, in my opinion).
