People don't stop being trans because you disagree with them politically. I despise Jenner and other high profile trans grifters but I'm not shitty enough to deny their identities.
Do better. As a user of both sites this shit is genuinely upsetting. Despite how you may feel about hexbear, how can you claim that they bait people into revealing their internalized transphobia and then turn around and make shitty claims like this? I don't give a shit if you call me a tankie or red fash or whatever, but I'm trans whether you like me or not.
That phenomenon caused me to reject my original Aspergers diagnosis because I didn't identify with the people I saw stating they had Aspergers online at all.
Then the more I learned about the actual diagnosis, I saw how full of shit 99.9% of those claiming to have aspergers or another spectrum disorder were.
Wasn't easy to get to that conclusion either as for any sensible person, pretending you have what we have to deal with every day is outright insane.
There is so much misinformation out there that it makes an already complicated topic so much harder to understand.
I think most of the people that pretend have no idea what we go through, or they wouldn't touch the subject with a 10ft pole. They think it's just being Sheldon Cooper, hilarious, quirky, etc. They don't understand how lonely and miserable it can be. And that's before I get into audio sensory issues or those that just cannot handle change.
