If they are lying to their friends' faces then you can't trust a single thing they are saying to strangers on the internet.

Why would you have trans friends? Every relationship is an investment of scarce time and energy, and frankly sitting alone in meditation is a better investment than most people.

Psychologically, that has to drain you. You're knowingly living a lie, and eventually, the mask is going to crack and fall off - probably at an "inopportune" time.

I mourn the loss of the virtues of the past of integrity, honor, consistency, patience, understanding, and wisdom. These are some of the foundations of good societies, but we eschew them with an efficiency and efficacy that is astounding, and our new generations are rudderless because of it. This is the only way I can explain how quickly we've succumbed to this madness and pretending.

I had a trans friend. I’m not a psychologist, but if I had to guess she was either a narcissist or a borderline. She was EXTREMELY insecure, she needed to be the constant center of attention and was always degrading others to make herself feel better. Just not mentally well, but everything was someone else’s fault. It just makes me think that transness is just a symptom of other issues and not the main illness, at least from what I’ve noticed in others
