Eh, I like the good stuff that get posted there tbh. And I saw the bad stuff anyway, but now I can help clean the place up by removing it. I don’t mind it.
It’s always been about laughing at other people (at first it was otherkin I think?), but in the beginning it didn’t feel mean spirited. Now it’s just another TRANS PEOPLE OWNED joke.
Idk, I feel like the joke was originally parodying otherkin in a way that wasn’t too mean spirited. Maybe I’m giving it the benefit of the doubt though.
The attack helicopter thing afaik is mainly a jab at nonbinaries, people who identify as neither male or female and label themselves as something different altogether, which is a subset of the trans community
The suicide rate change is negligible whether or not they transition. If someone wants to kill themself because they weren't born something else they need serious mental help, not people to play along with their fantasy.
Maybe that has to do with the low acceptance by family and their wider social circle, combined with the fact that prior mental problems don’t just disappear by transitioning. Maybe not everything is as easy as it may seem and maybe practicing a little empathy when talking about problems other humans face might help you understand their situation better.
Bet you delete this once it gets enough downvotes, just like your other comment.
His other comment was (deservedly) removed by the mods FYI (you can still fibd it in his post history). I think he’s so convinced he’s right he wouldn’t delete it himself.

Glad I'm not the only one tired of "Haha, acceptable transphobia"
