I’m not sure what kind of trans people your interacting with, but your negative reaction may have soured your belief of the entire community. The vast, vast majority of trans people just want to live their life without having to feel like worthless outsiders from both their own bodies and fellow people. There is no push to make other people trans. If your not trans your not trans, and that isn’t a bad thing. Being cisgender or transgender doesn’t make someone any more or less valuable as a person, and it certainly doesn’t effect the validity of their opinion.

He's not interacting with trans people. Dude is a fullblown liar and I'm stunned that people are taking his lies seriously. He is literally repeating, word for word, talking points that transphobes have been using for years.

Have you not seen all these hexbear fuckwits?

Yes, many of the interactions I've had with trans people, both on- and offline, have brought me to this. I always try to treat people as people, until they show themselves for what they truly are. It's really simple: are they an asshole or not? If they are not an asshole, we cool. If they are, they can just fuck right off.

Have you not seen all these hexbear removed?

I have. Hexbear's a leftist community, so I'm going to guess that they're really "disregarding" what you have to say because they're bad takes, not because you're cis. But you knew that already, since you're calling people from Hexbear "tankies" in other comments, and you're saying extremely transphobic things in your other comments in threads that have nothing to do with Hexbear.

Here's a comment from a Hexbear user that might have confused you:

To be fair the only people that think about trans people as much as you seem to think about them are people who are questioning their gender or nazis.

Maybe you overlooked it, but they did leave an exception for Nazis.

until they show themselves for what they truly are

You're the one that is denying trans people's existence. What were you expecting?
