An example of the toxicity of the online "trans community."

https://medium.com/prismnpen/trans-reality-this-will-piss-you-off-5e45cad585ad

the header image shows her flipping off the reader and the title promises that what follows will "piss you off." A list of the writer's other articles shows them to be uniformly belligerent and confrontational.

This article is mostly about lowering expectations for transitioning, that it doesn't go as well for older men as for younger, but it winds up noting that "trans" people are a vilified minority and that life hereafter is going to be grim.

Isn't that, frankly, the whole point?

I know, I know, it's only the activists who are spreading this hate and rage (I discovered this article after I reported one of her attacks on Steve, saying he was spreading "transphobia"), but the more I see, the more I am convinced of the raw inauthenticity of the entire movement. This writer is devoted, at least n Medium, to being a complete nuisance and I can only imagine what problems she and the many like her bring to the workplace; all the sensitivity training and pronoun indoctrination in the world can't compensate for someone determined to stir up conflict.

I got kicked off there again and this time I have no idea what it was for. Certainly not for anything I wrote, therefore from someone like the above writer complaining of "transphobia."
