Do you know any of these people personally, or is that just what it seems like (based on what you’ve seen on the web or something?). I know a few trans and non-binary people and they don’t really fit the picture you paint (admittedly also an anecdote, but still)
- klyrs 4y agoGreen accounts concern-trolling in one comment and referring to a transgender "ideology" in another aren't here in good faith.
- rsfern 4y agoThanks, had dark mode on so didn’t notice the green username, but that does make more sense of the tone of the comment
- Unduereturn 4y agoI promise these are in good faith. For what it's worth. I'm green because I lurk more than I post and I don't tend to save my account data after more than a few threads and this is a topic which personally affects me in which I have experience to share.
- Unduereturn 4y agoOne of my best friends from school chose reassignment. And yes at that age we all fit that description, only he decided to take hormone pills and surgery rather than deal with the real issues he had from childhood and school. I wanted to be a girl too to a while, I wanted a sister so I made one up and lied about it. I can't tell you why at my age now, my solutions to my feelings weren't really all that logical. I'm fine now. I'm a happy to be male, I got used to shouldering some of the responsibilities of being a man, still learning though. And I'm a green account because I don't stick with an account for more than a few threads. I don't see the point anymore. But I am being genine in my experiences shared, for what it's worth to you, which seems very little at this point.
- rsfern 4y agoThanks for sharing your experience, I think that adds a lot more to the discussion than your previous comment, which frankly came off kind of callous and out of touch because it reads like you’re writing off “kids these days”. I don’t much see the point of rotating accounts if you lurk more than post (I lurk more than post too, usually), but whatever. But comments that come off as not thoughtful from new accounts tend to get less grace because there’s a non-negligible amount of bad faith posters, especially on politically charged topics Honestly I still think this is an alt account, because the account age almost exactly matches the age of the thread (12h now) but your first post is only like an hour old. Plus the initial tone, I don’t know. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt, but it’s lot of doubt. please post more thoughtfully in the future, your followup was good discussion at least but the initial post was borderline noise IMO
