Like the title says, a few months ago I made this post about a rant an MtF made about the trans community on reddit: https://saidit.net/s/LGBDropTheT/comments/9qfi/surprisingly_sane_reddit_rant/

I noticed today that the rant has since been deleted and the poster's account has been suspended. Now I don't know for sure that he was suspended for that post, but I suspect that was probably the reason. It's really scary how bad it's gotten on reddit, apparently even trans people can't say anything remotely critical of the trans overlords.

For documentation purposes, I think I'll post the text from his rant here.

I'm Trans (Male to Female) and I think the Trans community has become a shitshow.

I no longer interact with the community anymore. I don't want to type up a huge novel, but I'll do a quick introduction. I transitioned in 2009, I'm on estrogen, I've had surgery, and nobody suspects I used to be a man when they look at me. At the time of my transition, being trans meant just that - to transition to the opposite sex, which is where the 'trans' prefix came from.

Looking into the community now, I'm sorry to say this but I can see why support for the LGBT community has been declining in recent years. You have men that identify as women trying to coerce lesbians into having sex with them, even going so far as to say things like 'rethink your genital preference' - as if that isn't blatant conversion therapy. Look, the whole point of being a lesbian is that you are a woman who is attracted to the same sex. There's nothing bigoted or hateful about having a sexual orientation and if you feel 'excluded' or 'invalidated' then that's your problem. The world doesn't exist to validate and include you in everything and anything. I wanted to be an astronaut when I was growing up but I can't because of my bad eyesight. Did I moan about it screaming that NASA is bigoted against blind people? No, I sucked it up and moved on. Unfortunately some people can't seem to move on.

Women are entitled to sex segregated spaces. Sending bomb threats to women who think so is not going to give you any allies. If you think you're on the right side of history why are you threatening violence to someone who simply said her opinion? How does that make you any different from radical religious extremists who send death threats to people who slightly disagree with what they believe?

If you identify as something without actually transitioning to that thing good for you but identifying as something and being something are often two completely different things. Validation is a privilege, not a human right. If your identity is so valid you wouldn't need everyone else to constantly validate it. I kid you not I'm now seeing people think identifying as a different species makes you transgender. They're called 'xenogenders'. I've seen online threads where someone didn't want to refer to someone as pupself and I kid you not people were actually arguing with him that this 'pupself' person is literally a dog and he is transphobic if he didn't refer to this girl as a dog. I felt like I was going insane just reading that friggin thread. If gender now means whatever you identify as why not simply use the word identity rather than a word which is synonymous to sex for the vast majority of people? Seems like you're being obtuse on purpose to confuse people.

Most people identifying as trans don't transition or have any plans on actually transitioning. People who have transitioned are being banned from their own communities for daring to question the current dogma. We're no longer safe in our communities because even a slight disagreement or difference in opinion is transphobic now. It's a complete mess. A month or two ago I saw a Twitter post from Toronto police saying a woman was missing. The photo shown was of a bearded man. I'm sorry but humans have evolved to be able to tell if a person is male or female with almost perfect accuracy. You're not fooling anyone and all you're doing is confusing the fuck out of people acting like they're stupid enough to not know.

Back in 2009 the trans community wasn't about identifying as objects or animals or men identifying as lesbians without transitioning. It was a calm and rational community about a medical procedure to change from one sex to another. That's it.

Now when I look at the trans community I legitimately feel like I've taken crazy pills.
