    The rhetoric that you can somehow make kids trans that would otherwise be cis just by exposing them to new ideas is getting extremely tiresome. Everyone should know that’s not true by now. I’m convinced the people posting memes like this know they’re full of shit and are just dog whistling that they disapprove of anyone different than them, a la homophobes talking about how gayness is “unnatural” when that’s observably false in actual nature.

      In Caitlyn’s case, it seems to be disapproval of people like herself. Even after coming out and transitioning… still seems to hate herself.

        She’s definitely not in a good place. The people she preaches to are primed to think she’s at best a pitiable freak and mentally ill for being what she is but she’s addicted to being their pet trans woman because she’s so keen to feel more somehow respectable than other trans people.

        It doesn’t seem like at all a healthy place to be.

      An interesting observation from another source: since being straight and white is now the worst thing ever and we, especially the males, are now responsible for absolutely everything that goes wrong anywhere in the universe and everyone hates us for that, any kid unfortunate enough to find themselves in that predicament is going to identify as just about anything else in order to retain some degree of popularity.
