    Anyone ever dealt with these guys? I was sympathetic, because I do believe that the L,G,B, T should be split (but still with venn diagrams when necessary). But I've talked to these guys. Ignorant entirely of trans people (they write off intersex trans women as 'men with sexual development disorders' and don't want same sex-attracted trans women in their group even if they acknowledge it. They are simply fuelled by incuriosity, discomfort and embarassment, not to mention distrust. But I feel sorry for their leader. It seems once she didn't have a problem, and something hit. Her mother is a publisher who constantly laughs at and belittles trans people. So maybe it runs in the family.

    It just feels that while I believe that pronouns and stuff are a lesser issue than some make out to be, that these people are being ignroant for the sake of it, falling into the trap of hailing dead youtuber Magdalen Berns, simply cos she can't speak back. I wonder do any of us know her former 'trans friends' and wonder what they think about it.

    Yeah. I've seen some of the stuff that their members coming out with calling people paedophiles and groomers etc etc. Vile transphobia and homophobia from them.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
