    So, first off:

    I’m not your enemy. We haven’t met before now, I’m not the person or people who did any of those things to you, and dumping a bucket of rage onto me isn’t going to teach them anything nor in any way improve the situation.

    Second, it seems a little weird to be hostile to me, reporting about a community I found to be hostile, by saying, “Well of course they are, a community was hostile to them!” Surely you see the cyclic nature this only perpetuates.

    Third, since I, you know, had a post in r/actual_detrans where I had conversations as well as participating in the community for more than a year following that, where I thought I had a contribution to make, and did so to a positive reaction locally, it’s pretty clear to me that it is possible to both find that actually, you do identify more with your birth gender, and not be hostile to people who don’t.

    I’m sorrowful for your situation, but I didn’t cause it and almost certainly had no opportunity to influence it. I don’t want to be your enemy, but that is a relationship does not require two to tango. One can unilaterally decide that, and it has to be a decision on the part of those who made that decision, to revoke it.

      Well, if one community didn’t put them in the situation to begin with maybe there’d be no anger at all? I mean, just looking at what’s going on in the world both Sweden and the UK have banned puberty blockers for children and the UK is shutting down its gender clinic, the largest in the world might I add, next year for massive malpractice. Just to point out how significant that is, Sweden was at the forefront of gender therapy for minors and the UK was not far behind, so it’s very very telling that they’re taking these actions. So, maybe, one side of the issue is much larger than the other?
