It is objectively a lot more male than Reddit or other social media. Reddit has many issues, but lack of women is not one of them.

It's a moral prop. Sort of like pedophilia is for the right, for the left trans issues lets them concern troll and beat everyone over the head with how noble they are for supporting it and how evil anyone is who doesn't agree 110%. Most of the comments I see about trans issues on here are not even positive, they are mostly 'if you don't support trans rights 120% and believe in the removal of heterosexuality, you're a bigot/nazi/genocide supporter'. It's insane. but I have no doubt people genuinely think that way because I know ones like that IRL. They tend to be deeply insecure and fragile people who's coping mechanism is just being insanely irrationally angry. They are just the leftist MAGA types of people.

    How is it concern trolling when there are actual concerns about trans people's continued ability to exist in public life?

    believe in the removal of heterosexuality

    LMAO No one believes this, but I might start spouting it as a joke, if it'll make you feel better.

    What would "the removal of heterosexuality" even look like? Please, go on! We're all sooo curious.

    Nobody believes what you claim they do, many trans folk are heterosexual. Supporting trans rights is a good thing, and opposing it is bigoted. "Left MAGA" doesn't exist.

    I’ve seen people get downvoted and banned for posting actual scientific research on puberty blockers, detransitioning, links between autism and trans.

    The last one is undeniable for a subsection of transfolk. The "neurodivergent, isolated kid on 4chan that gets programmer socks and starts their transition" path is well known.

    Autism and trans has a huge overlap. Explanations and Interpretations for this vary.

    Discussing this and the pipeline you describe will quickly get you banned from many places around here.

    I'll leave this comment in place in order to debunk it.

    You are misquoting the study you have referenced. A read of the abstract showed zero consideration of whether there was any correlation between autism and trans.

    Please don't post misinformation!

    The common overlap between autism, elevated autistic traits, and gender identity diversity has been reported in both clinical (de Vries et al. 2010; Hisle-Gorman et al. 2019) and community (Strauss et al. 2017; Walsh et al. 2018) samples. In the largest study to date, the odds of an autism diagnosis were more than six times greater among transgender (or broadly gender-diverse) individuals than among those who were cisgender (Warrier et al. 2020).

    ‘if you don’t support trans rights ... you’re a bigot/nazi/genocide supporter’

    It's better to remain silent than proclaim your bigotry if you don't want to participate in the marketplace of ideas.
