The big problem with the transtrender kids on Tumblr is that it makes it even harder for legitimately trans people to be taken seriously. Like, it's seriously harmful. I can see why people are baffled.

Not only that, it's harmful to non-trans people who don't fit into traditional gender norms too.

The number of people who actively use tumblr and are influenced by that side of it are actually very, very small.

The problem with fandom people is we all seem to think that what's going on in fandom spaces is noticed and cared about by the general public. For the most part, it's not. Most people have never come across "transtrender" kids because they're using the internet for other things.

Look, tumblr kids are not the ones who kept my healthcare expensive, who made getting a job harder, who drove me to homelessness. That was the bigots in power, the adults who control the healthcare and legal system. Ergo, it is the BIGOTS I care about, because THEY ARE THE PROBLEM.

I don't care how a bigot gets their transphobia. I don't care if they got it because a trans person took their wallet, killed their dog, or made a stupid blog somewhere on the Internet. I'm still going to hold them accountable for their own bigotry. The blogger or mugger is not responsible for the bigot's bigotry; THE BIGOT IS.

Blaming a child for an adult's bigotry is asinine. I'm not going to waste my rage and energy on THAT. I have so many other things to be pissed off about! Things I can actually CHANGE.

For Christ's sake.
