I feel like generalizing an entire group of people is harmful. Trans people are under heavy scrutiny right now and a hot debate topic if you will, so of course you’ll have some people overreacting because of how tired of fighting every day they are.
You’ll hear the vocal minority, but what about the rest? I am trans and I upvoted that comment and silently left. Am I a “Karen” too?
And don’t assume that every person defending trans stuff is trans, sometimes they’re just allies with good intentions.
“Karen” is a term to make white women feel isolated and side with right wingers. Any woman who complains about anything, valid or not, can be easily dismissed as just another Karen
To somehow analogize that to trans people is so fucking weird.
Sad thing is I know a Karen and she’s an absolute sweetheart, the kind who would eat the wrong meal if it was delivered to her in a restaurant, and still leave a tip
I hate to say it, but of the 7 trans women I’ve known, 6 have been like this. Everyone is the enemy, giant chip on the shoulder.
I mean, I get it. I grew up very poor, and for a long time any time I saw a rich person I wanted to deck them. Even if they did nothing wrong personally. Because my life was hell and they didn’t have to go through it, and they’re passively contributing to the system that made my life hell. So I hated them.
So yeah, I think trans people are just people, reacting to a hateful and cruel society in the way that any person would.
It is difficult to stay friends with someone like that. A lot of trauma. And collateral damage. I know, I lost friends over my issues.
Strangely enough of the 4 trans men I’ve known, none have been like this. Maybe they just internalized it.

Oh fuck off. This is just victim blaming.
