I've often considered this, actually. But I think the problem isn't the fact they are trying to figure themselves out and inventing new labels to do it, in itself there's not a problem with that.

It's more that along the way, they spread so much hatred (against truscum and cishets mostly), in their culture bullying and telling people to go kill themselves (sometimes just over existing) is a normal, accepted thing. That is what makes this Tumblr thing so poisonous, and dangerous.

I don't disagree. But like I said, they're misguided kids who are really angry (I know and understand the feelings this is coming from, and I am absolutely sympathetic to it) and don't know what to do with it, and tumblr is an echo chamber. It's not so much an issue with tumblr trans culture, but with people in their early/mid teens in general, with tumblr exacerbating it.

I will go ahead and just say if my comment before didn't make it clear, I pretty much have zero respect for truscum ideology. It's not anyone's responsibility to decide who is and isn't trans -- but most importantly, it supports the existing gatekeeping structures which still DO harm actual trans people, and that kind of makes it super misguided at best and just straight up destructive at worst. So while there are totally cishet people who are great and have done nothing to harm any of us, truscum ARE harmful, period. Nobody deserves to be told to kill themselves or anything like that at all, but they're not doing anyone any good either. I could say more but that's the most important part.

I don't know why I'm even putting so much effort into this conversation though because I'm defending trans culture and, even though it is my community, I kind of think it's broken anyways (Tumblr too!). Just... not for these reasons.
