Used to go to a fandom forum when I was youn where the majority of member were some sort of LBGT+ and had pronoun fields before it was the hip thing to do. Was pretty down with it for a while. But I got tired of hearing about it when everyone and their mom happened to be trans, I guess, and felt like a like lot of people were using their status as trans to talk bullshit and bully people. It's more of a warning sign to me that I don't want to deal with a person if they make a big deal about being some sort of trans, I guess.

I'm aware it's bigoted, yeah.

DA

Do you feel that way about people who have gone through physical transition? I ask because you mention pronoun fields and it sounds like its an online identity thing only. If you met some woman or man who you found out later was trans in real life, having physically transitioned, would you feel the same?

Probably not.

But it's hard to say entirely because I've only knowingly met on irl trans person and I didn't get along with him pre-transition and haven't seen him much after the fact, but I make sure use proper pronouns and whatnot when referring to him.

It's more if someone makes a big deal out of it. Like I understand if that online personas are much different than irl personas and that people obviously want to be by people who are like them, but making it a point to state it seems counter-intuitive.

I suppose my issue is more if you're trans, wouldn't you want to be more stealth about it?

I understand what you mean, I feel the same about people who have to let everybody know they're gay and use it the way you're describing people using their trans status... and I'm queer myself. Most of the time it isn't even relevant to anything. More so online where we all might be talking dogs anyway as far as you know.

I would be more worried if you felt the same about trans people IRL.

Lolz, if only I could, haha. But at this point, there's not really a way to hide it or get around it, unless I want to be misgendered forever.
