>>40281774I feel like I didn't articulate my first point well enough if you think I'm saying that, that's on me for being so brief when I first wake up.
Tl;dr: I mostly agree with you but part of it is a byproduct of oppression/transphobia.
They do in fact, want to belong, and scramble for any community that might accept them and promises power in exchange for becoming a hateful person. Trans people have a lot to lose when they come out, so a community that says they're Special and Chosen by genetics is going to be really promising.
>>40281745I think your points here are fairly interesting Anon. If its alright to ask, how do you feel about the displacement of Indigenous tribes here in the United States? Does it create the same discomfort feeling, or is it a case of "it was so long ago there's nothing to be done now"?
For the record, I think that the biggest thing is that everyone wants a community, but an individual's idea of what a community means is different. With some people, its just a case of shared gender identities, with others, its purely racial/ethnic.
