If transwomen are lesbians, why don't they just date other trans-women?
I think some probably do. It'd make a lot of sense.

I also thought the 'you have to sleep with me because of panic attacks' meme wasn't real.... I stand corrected?
Apparently some guy just sued some woman because he was turned down for a date and it caused him 'psychological harm.' I think that was somewhere in the east (in Asia). Heard it on the radio today.

Ah, Singapore.

There seems to be a huge overlap between autism, incel, trans and autogynophlia.
undeniably, yes on the first three. On the fourth, eh, i don't know enough to make a judgement on that but it sounds feasible.

Because the "science" says so.
That image could be cut down to the last two panels and lose pretty much no meaning. Panels 1 & 3 basically say the same thing in different ways.
Also that's pretty much the divide between trans people. Those that want to be cut and those that don't.
I don't really feel much attachment to my gender/see it as a particularly important part of myself. I'm a guy because people tell me I'm a guy and because it doesn't bother me to be called one/treated as one. Plus, I have a Y chromosome, so it's sort of my normal state by default. In any case, it's hard for me personally to wrap my head around people who feel so strongly about or derive a sense of meaning or self-worth from their expression of gender.
It's like a suburban housewife who makes a big deal about the pickup truck in the driveway being hers and not her husband's. Why should it matter?
All it does is pressure people to conform to specific social conventions and restrict their friend groups or expressed interests artificially. I don't think that compartmentalization is a good thing if we (or I) want people to really understand each other and acknowledge that others are not any lesser beings than they themselves are.
Doesn't mean I think I should be able to or want to stop others from making gender some central aspect of their identity if they think it matters. Silly and problematic though it may seem from where I'm standing.
Even if it's some kind of mental illness it doesn't really bother me... I just don't really get it. But I think that's okay.
