Cults are very isolating when your entire identity revolves around your participation in them.

Watch people who dismissed the idea of social contagion now start talking about social contagion.

"they're only detransitioning from social pressure and besides they're less than 1% of the total anyway!"

they always manage to hit on the exact wrong arguments, don't they?

Unfortunately that's the way it always is. People have to learn from their own mistakes. Some of us are just ahead of the curve.

TL;DR: The MeToos aren't part of the fad anymore, and normies aren't the unquestioning validation engines that they used to be, how do I get my fix now?

I will only refer to trannies by this from now on. All I see when I look at a tranny is a noose.

"All these people who care about me are telling me to detransition."

"They are not supporting meeeeeeee!"

It's fine, they're free to transition and then de-transition. It's unfortunate that the process is not seamless and there are health outcomes as well. Let more and more of them experience it and then there will build up a group of them who can educate the rest. Let them do the arguing and fighting. The rest of us won't have to say a damn thing.

For context, I came to SaidIt in 2018 and I didn't know anyone else that was into conspiracies. I felt trapped and alone and like I couldn't talk to anyone until I found online spaces. Over the past few years I have met many other conspirophiles and I felt like I finally had a place to talk over theories and analysis.
Recently that changed, and now SaidIt has turned to shit, with endless trans-agenda crap and gutter dwelling posts.

I think the problem is that the topic that is censored the most (trans) is going to get the most traffic here. A lot of other conspiracy topics can still be discussed on Reddit, as long as it's siloed into the subs that allow it. Covid is disappearing into the rearview mirror as well, so there's less incentive to talk about it, and even Reddit allows vax/mandate criticism on those subs.

Insightful.
But the shit posts were never a torrent before.
Also, my comment was a parody of the OP.

Don't know how to feel or what to do? Bite the bullet and admit you made a mistake. Only cultists hate apostates. Everyone else might give you a respectful nod. It's actually a super power these days to have the drive to improve.

It's called backlash. When a community or cult paints the picture that anyone that isn't 100% drunk on their kool-aid is evil and wishes them harm, those people are apt to look poorly on that community/cult. The vast majority of people are heterosexual and I'd suspect that a large swath of the young people (15-25) who claim to be part of the LBGT community, are actually only in it to fee part of something. It was a fad for quite a few, and its fading. Add to that the outrageous claims and behavior of the activists within that community and I say good riddance. Nobody likes a zealot.

The detransitioners grew up, that's what happened. All this trans shit is just the same counter-culture fashion trend we see with every new generation, only this time it's on crack and we're letting them destroy their bodies for it. They should bring back bellbottoms instead.

Bellbottoms are back! Again!
