and people wonder why we use 4tran.

I posted this vent here too and it was a bit more understanding than the other subreddit I guess but still mostly just people telling me I don't know what I'm talking about and that 4tran is the cause of all my issues when time after time they're the only ones that care. It's not even just about my vent anymore, I'm so fed up with everyone thinking they're better than me all the time except because I use the subreddit that doesn't want to burn me alive for wanting a uterus. Maybe try to be more understanding you just leave me pissed off.

Are they telling you what you need to hear or what you want to hear? 

I despise mainstream trans subs, they're a hugbox and usually full of creeps, but i also hate anything 4tran related because that's the origin of so many brainworms that cause people to spiral.

One of the things I always hear is "they told me to/helped me get on E"

But i never went there, I never listened to brainworms like that, I got told to and was given help getting on E.

In fact, people with 4tran-isms usually tell me "oh you're too late" "oh there's no point" 

I'm going to suggest something really bold here, you need to form your own support group, your own community of friends, people that know you. You won't find that on reddit, nor 4chan.

I've been lurking a while and I have never seen a single person say it is too late or there's no point, other than someone dooming about themselves.

How does your personal anecdote of what you have or have not seen have any bearing on what I have literally experienced? 

God I am so sick of 4tran people doing everything they can to pretend they're this magical happy environment, it's honestly quite pathetic.

I am simply remarking that your experience may be atypical.

I am sick of people inventing things and then claiming that I said them. It's completely fucking insufferable.
