OK, I'm making an account just to say this. Speaking as a trans woman: this is probably the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Who in their life has ever used the word "jannie" as a slur? I don't understand some people in our community. I think if you're going this far you need to take a step back for a while... It's feeding the trolls and even to me just comes off as attention whoring
That’s what it’s all about though. LGBT is basically “look at me, I’m special!”. Doing your thing in the shadows wasn’t enough. Now everyone must be forced to accept and validate it like it’s normal when it isn’t.
Ok then do something about it. Speak up when other transgender people are hateful. This will only get worse if everyone keeps affirming that this is acceptable
It hadn't ever occurred to me to connect the terms "trannie" and "jannie" until Merari connected the two. Although I was aware that a significant proportion of Reddit's powermods were trans, I had never associated them. Especially since I've only ever heard "jannie" in the context of forum moderators.
I often wonder if some of the behavior like this was created by people who aren't even trans. Like they are paid to act crazy, destroy the actual moment for any rational trans person and confuse the youth. I know that sounds crazy, but I remember meeting trans people before this whole identity politics thing became mainstream. Most were chill and rational and just wanted to be left alone. Now that is not the case. This seems to happen with a lot of social movements. They are fighting for a good thing then it gets high jacked and turns crazy and causes more division.

Yeah sorry your identity got hijacked by this bullshit you're just going to have to jump right back into the closet and lay low.
They do this to all the pet minorities. This behavior is incentivized. You're learning this the hard way.

fuck off
