By comparison

I used to want to distance myself from gender variant people who would shoot videos of themselves parading around busy streets wearing tight clothing but I no longer do. Not because I want to follow in their footsteps, but rather because their behaviour stems from the same human well of wanting to be acknowledged and seen. This instinct is universal only that it manifests itself differently in each person.

Some will use wealth and power, social media influence or bragging rights on Facebook as ways to boost the ego which are just other means to the same end.

However once we find our own center we are less likely to seek approval from the outside world. The appetite for comparison goes away as does the need for differentiating  ourselves by exception. Whereas a Blaire White has made a whole cottage industry of dealing with her insecurities by deriding other gender variant people, those with the grace and dignity of April Ashley or Christine Jorgensen didn't need to.

We are responsible for our own actions and paths and we intervene on behalf of others or weigh in on their lives only when they are in need of our assistance.
