it& #39;s just such a vicious cycle because trans people talk about having issues with dating, but the problem is that the longer you& #39;re in the cult, the more your social skills are eroded to the point where you completely repel other people.
maybe the issue isn& #39;t that you& #39;re trans, but that you can& #39;t cope with minor differences of opinion, have an extreme black and white mentality, are quick to feel anger and outrage, and go on dates thinking that the other person owes you sex.
this isn& #39;t a & #39;trans people are weird social outcasts& #39; thing, this is an & #39;i know completely normal and sexually active trans people and they function because they& #39;re minimally involved with the community, compared to indoctrinated people who make everyone uncomfortable.& #39;
if you& #39;re trans and you immediately put up walls between yourself and & #39;cis& #39; people because they wont understand you, if you condescend to people and feel the need to explain gender to them, if you don& #39;t pass and hold grudges over misgendering... you won& #39;t make friends.
because of the indoctrination, trans people get used to being unable to date and make friends with people outside the community, or at lesser levels of indoctrination within it. the rejection drives them deeper in - & #39;cis people don& #39;t like me because im trans.& #39;
at this point, when ordinary cis people meet a trans person, they are expecting an insufferable, overly sensitive and easily offended individual. it& #39;s not the gender identity that& #39;s the problem - it& #39;s the fear of saying the wrong thing having their head bitten off for it.
ive had trans friends where entire social gatherings ended up revolving around protecting their ego. the social issues are contagious - when cis allies are expected to step in, it ends up being a whole group ganging up on the one person who isn& #39;t up to speed, or made a mistake.
