Yeah no shit. One it's reddit. Two it's people who have nothing better to do with their lives than go on Reddit and talk about their identity problems vs video games or movies or literally any other banal interest that is more fun.

Gonna naturally devolve into the most miserable types getting off on each other's misery I think.

Like any "mentally healthy" trans person isn't going around screaming about validation 24/7, they're just living their life and not giving a fuck if other people accept them or not. Frankly I get along fine with most of these people even if we have very deep disagreements when it comes to trans issues in general since they can actually hold conversations about things other than that.

Back 20 years ago when everyone was coming out of the closet as well was similar. Actual gay people that were otherwise normal? No issues. We don't talk about preferred positions or whatnot, 99% of contexts it's totally irrelevant. But there was always some group of "total fags" that literally would just go around screaming at people "you must accept us" and like, nobody likes you, not even the actual faggots.

I remember there being some demonstration for "national day of silence" for gay people or something where they just taped their mouths shut and refused to participate in class for a day and like, whatever as far as protests go that's pretty easy to ignore but I can't help but think what insufferable twats they were and how ineffective the protest was. Cause I was thinking like, ok so gay people don't have a voice so instead of speaking out for them you're going to just be annoyingly silent about everything? So random people who don't know anything about it are going to have their first impression of the gay rights movement as a bunch of annoying theater kids refusing to participate in class discussions and group projects, well you're just going to piss off a bunch of people.

Hey we've got a speaking test scheduled for the same day as our actual protest can you reschedule. Um no. You can protest and I support your right to protest, but the test is on this day and if you don't have a valid medical excuse you'll get a zero. But hey, you've got to make the decision if gay rights are more important than your grades anyway or else your protest is meaningless without some sacrifice. So if I move the date it hurts your movement actually.

Turns out grades are more important than gay rights, who could have thunk it.
