Ad hominem

There's another cottage industry out there albeit a small one of transitioned people making fun of other gender variant or non-conforming binary people. Channels like The Offensive Tranny and Blaire White are devoted almost entirely to this habit undoubtedly to soothe their own insecure psyches and it's always a give away when we employ ad hominem attacks rather than solid argumentation regarding a topic. You are merely tipping your hand perhaps without realizing it.

Since we have discovered and accepted that humanity operates on spectrums of both sexual orientation and gender identity/expression it has invited derision not only from those who fit comfortably within the expected norms but from those who have internalized fear about being singled out by the mob. Their best defense seems to have been to align with those who hate you and become the token "good" transgender person. But if you are happy and well adjusted you would have no need for this and simply stick to making observations without using personal attacks.

I remember once seeing a discussion stream in an old blog where transsexual women were having an authenticity battle with such vitriol that it was almost jarring to witness. One could sense the fear and insecurity.

I would like to think we will mostly move past this once gender variance in all its forms becomes more accepted as a statistically normal and expected minority within the human mosaic
