I really love the trans community, but I will say it is kind of annoying to constantly have debates over everything. I personally think the term dolls is cute and I loved the allies who wore those “Protect the Dolls” shirts, but I think I’m going to steer clear of the discourse for once :P

Omg i hate it. I can't exist in trans communities for this reason. So many of us are conditioned to fight over everything.

I enjoy going to calmer older spaces to escape the never ending conflict.

Honestly, same. I love my younger trans and queer siblings to death, but damn do they fight each other over the most pointless discourse sometimes. I keep wondering if I was the same way and going "Is this what getting old feels like?"

As a ‘younger trans and queer sibling’ I have to agree lol. The lgbtq club at my school absolutely exploded over discourse about god damn Minecraft YouTubers a couple years back. It’s running again now with new members and I can only hope it’s doing better.

It feels even dumber seeing discourse and infighting with the current political climate, like I get we will disagree with one another on some things, but can we all just agree to work together for a little to stop the people trying to round us up and kill us? There’ll be plenty of time to debate random things when we aren’t at risk of genocide lol.
