Psychologically healthy people, I suspect, are happy when you tell them that they have won the war that they have been fighting.
Extremist ideologues, on the other hand, sometimes are not. War for them is the very nature of their being, their psychology has somehow become based on being at war. Perhaps it is some kind of post-traumatic stress disorder, something about heightened cortisol levels, I don't know. They constantly need to wage war and if they win they must find a new battle. Even if they actually pretty much won the war years ago, still they must find new enemies, and if those do not exist anywhere in their vicinity, they must invent them.
I am somewhere in between those two extremes, so I feel like I can sort of understand both of them.

Perhaps it's because they're put in a privileged position by the activism, and they don't want to give that up and join the faceless masses of normal people.
Yeah baby, I see in stereo. Wingucks exist in a lower-dimensional space than me, so I can observe both their insides and their outsides at the same time.
This hole is for discussion, blogposting, memes, greentexts, and anything that relates to being transgender.
Being transphobic, homophobic, and generally too annoying and chuddy in this hole will get you exiled. Posting elsewhere has little hold on that so as long as you can play nice without concern trolling and hiding your true intentions behind a thin veil you will be allowed to post.
