>>44119I actually don't mind it much. Western society seems to be in a state of unrest, so it's good for people to try and learn what's what and get involved (even if it's from a young age and they aren't doing shit but blogging about it).
The thing I do take issue with is middle upper class kids from boring neighborhoods trying to co-opt being trans and/or mentally ill, then insist they don't need to be dysphoric or display any symptoms of the illness they claim to have, and use it to pander for attention (or see themselves pandering for attention as "totally real proof I AM mentally ill"). Don't even get me started on how much they seem to fetishize both issues. "in my headcanon everyone on thomas the tank engine is autistic uwu", "trans mickey mouse receiving a binder that matches his skin for his birthday and crying out of happiness", "queer bpd danny phantom!!!!!", etc. Fuck off with that shit, it's gross.
They want to be part of "the struggle" so badly and it's fucking retarded.
