You're doing it wrong.

I don't care how many people here tell you otherwise, you are NOT FUCKING TRANSGENDER, you're just a weak-willed and confused person who is easily influenced. Also possibly longing for something to make you ~special.

[(Anonymous)]

so glad i'm not the only one who feels this way. (inb4 ~trans/queerphobia~)

But how do you know that? I think it's kind of ridiculous to say with such solidity that you know exactly what is going on in OPs head.

Say someone grew up in a secluded cult. All their life they were taught that this was the only way, they weren't even taught to think about other options. They didn't question because that was simply not how things were done. Say they grow up and sneak online or out to a movie. Suddenly they're faced with questions and ideas that they've literally never even thought of. For the first time in their life they have the thought that maybe what they were taught growing up, what they took for fact, wasn't 100% true.

Does the fact that they only started to question later in life and due to a movie make those questions any less valid or important?

Some people just go along, either because they're taught to do so or because they are just not naturally questioning people. Just because it takes a different form of enlightenment doesn't make the questioning any more or less valid.

OP could very well be a weak-willed person who conforms to whatever they happen to be involved in or surrounded with at the moment. But they could also be facing questions that they have never been faced with before, and having rather genuine feelings and thoughts.

I agree.

Moderation is the key here. Some people think they're trans because they're bandwagon-hoppers, and some people actually are. Even though my brain is telling me the OP seem bandwagon-y I think that they should seek professional help and get the solid diagnosis.

Whoops, it's a good thing OP's got someone like you, anon, to tell them what they are! Someone who's never met them and knows nothing about them. Thank goodness!

[(Anonymous)]

You can keep trying to tell yourself that someone briefly thinking something magically makes it true, and that this bullshit is harmless and doesn't make things like transgenderism, asexuality, Aspberger's, and all such other trendy self-diagnoses into a joke that no one will take seriously. But I'm not playing this game anymore.

OP didn't say they were "briefly" thinking about it, they said conversations within fandom started them thinking about.

[anivad.livejournal.com]

... I rule the bandwagon of trendy self-diagnoses.

- an asexual aspie trans guy
(though with hormonal transition I'm starting to doubt the asexual bit; turns out it wasn't asexuality, just discomfort/dysphoria with the idea of having sex with female bits. but the Aspergers and transness were confirmed by a professional.)

All that's left is for you to discover you are actually Sephiroth reincarnated via the astral plane.

[(Anonymous)]

And that you're married to Snape on the astral plane.
